It is an interesting promotion and for sure the US team can score heavily but for the moment there is no value to bet on USA. Just noticed that the odd to win for USA in the match USA vs Iran is 1.00 (never saw this before).
I agree even with the double winnings it's much better to avoid team USA throughout the olympics unless you like betting on one sided odds, earlier they lost their opening game to France and their pre live odds was somewhere around 1.1 even if they keep on losing it's unlikely the odds will adjust.
I do not think that it is strictly about the VIP level (I am sure that plays a part but not 100% all of it) because I played with less and ended up with more, so I am guessing there are other things in play. Basically, stake became a bit of a place where things are a bit more "random" if I have to be honest, I have a "friend" (just a guy I chat on telegram few times a week) and he wagered a lot less than me but he wagered A LOT more than me before, so he got more this time around, so it is not strictly about just this month neither, so I am sure VIP level does play a role here as well.
Same here, I was expecting a reload but instead I got a one time bonus which is surprising since I haven't wagered that much in the last few weeks so I think the monthly also includes the losses from previous months.
US and AU gamblers still pay to VPN services to use Stake in order not to get caught by the government.
