It is subjective ofc, some people may think the decision was not good because there is to long gap for the next bonus but some other may think it was good enough since there were many promotion during December so they could use it to participate in the other promotions.
I'm in the side where I think the decision was reasonable or good enough.
The complain comes because some users need to wait for another monthly bonus longer than usual because the previous one was sent in the beginning of the month.
Now when it is getting closed to the middle of the month (the time when Stake is used to send the monthly bonus), they sent a pre monthly bonus while most users are waiting for monthly.
I'm not complaining at all in this case as I'm patient enough to wait
I would guess that doing it at the same exact day every single month would be a much smarter choice. I mean I get that the December month was something special so that people could participate in the December festivities however that didn't stop them from coming back to regular period so quickly. If they come out and say that from now out it will be same date every single month, let's assume 1st of every month, or 10th, doesn't matter, then we could have peace finally.
I mean it is not even that much of a big deal for me, I do not wager a lot like you guys, so I do not get much, if it was cancelled, I would be upset for like 30 seconds at the most and that's it. Obviously if I gambled millions like some other people then I would definitely end up very upset for days and even few weeks because it is such a huge money but even in that case you just have to get over it.
