Not only that, we've got Increased Rain on selected chats all day too! 🌧
https://talkimg.com/images/2024/12/14/pxVIf.png"Massive" Stream or Massive Facade? 🎭Eddie’s Christmas streams are nothing but the holiday scam of the year. Fake "giveaways," recycled winners, and rigged raffles that insult anyone with half a brain. Four years of waiting for players like Oussama3651, while Eddie’s puppets—Simp Mickey and Steve—sit there handpicking favorites, generating codes, and propping up the show like it’s all legit.
Here’s a challenge:Bitcoin forum members, if you’ve ever won a raffle, Discord bonus buy, or any of these so-called twitter giveaways, share your story.
Let’s dig into the real probability of this scam. Are we watching a fair giveaway or just fake actors dancing for Eddie’s amusement?
Let’s clear the air:This isn’t about players from India, Indonesia, or anywhere specific. People from all over the world are begging in chat because the “holiday spirit” only applies to Eddie’s chosen puppets. Simp Mickey and Steve are there to keep the illusion alive, while everyone else gets ignored.
Eddie’s not Santa—he’s running a puppet show, and the only ones winning are those pulling strings behind the scenes.
Bitcoin forum members, it’s time to speak up,
expose this facade, and take the
curtain down on this
daylight scam. 🎭
Too bad for you. I personally know 1 high roller that won in the raffle once. I even sent him a message that he won, otherwise he wouldn't have known.
Also, I am 100% sure I have WAY more tickets than you lifetime and I never complain about not winning. The chances, even if you have 1000 tickets in a week, are still tiny.
Also I myself won the forum giveaway 3 or 4 times by the way, just saying.
Choosing the slots bonus buys should be made in a different way though, the way for example humdog made it with a random number generator last week (or maybe it was the other streamer, forgot her name).
Thanks for verifying my claim. Just to clarify, I never said forum giveaways are rigged—those are probably the only giveaways that seem fair. My issue is with the streams, Discord bonus buys, and raffles, where winners look suspiciously handpicked and recycled.
Careful bro, you could be marked as stake puppets ~XD.
Don't push to hard to give some response, cause he might be was really worried about his safety. Better to pretend, all of these was fugazzi.... He doesn't know some of forum member already won the challenge especially on forum.
Even user like @panjul07 having experience became a winners in picked comment forum. But, guess what doesn't matter cause he just a spammer blackmailed.
Haha, “Stake puppets,” good one! I’m glad you’ve noticed the same patterns I have.
Forum giveaways? Sure, some people win, and that’s great. But guess what? That’s not the issue I’m raising. My concerns are squarely aimed at the rigged façade in streams, Discord, and Twitter giveaways. If you think Eddie’s circus is legit, why do the same names keep popping up as winners?
Also, calling me a blackmailer or claiming I’m making things up doesn’t change reality. These events look staged, and I’m just asking for transparency.
I can confirm it, I won the forum's weekend giveaway like 4-5 times (1 time only this year) the other winnings were few years back when I was Plat 2-3 IIRC.
For the weekly raffle, I have never won it even once LOL but I understand it well because the chance is so small especially for player like who collect low number of ticket every week (less than 10) in average.
There is an email today about Ultimate Xmas Stream with massive bonus drop, giveaways, etc. Will we get bigger bonus drop today? Lets see but I'm not sure if I can claim the bonus drop fast because last week, I was always late for the bonus drop.
Thanks for sharing your experience, and I appreciate your honesty about the forum giveaways being fair. Winning 4–5 times in earlier years sounds reasonable for a consistent participant like you.
As for the weekly raffle? Exactly my point—it’s nearly impossible for most people to win, especially if they aren’t stacking tickets like crazy. The fact that long-time players like you, who’ve been around for years, haven’t won even once speaks volumes about how skewed the odds are for regular participants.
Regarding the “Ultimate Xmas Stream,” I wouldn’t hold my breath. These so-called “massive bonus drops” are just another part of the facade—designed to drum up hype while most players walk away empty-handed. If you manage to claim anything, great, but the whole system feels rigged to favor a select few.
Stay sharp and keep calling out the nonsense when you see it. Transparency shouldn’t be too much to ask.
They don't need to cheat on the raffle, or bonuses or lotteries, they are very correct into that, because this means nothing to them financially they get it all back in a very short amount of time, just go read the chat and see where the catch is about all these bonuses, raffles, challenges and all other things making them looking good in front of many people, the real catch is in their slot machines RTP, brutally changed in their favor without notifying the users, in the games description it still reads the RTP of the provider which is absolutely not the case. Wanna win there, simply don't play slots and you can win anything, this is the only catch, do not play slots.
You’ve hit the nail on the head about where the real issue lies—the manipulation of RTP (Return to Player) in slots. Stake markets its Enhanced RTP Slots as a major selling point, with claims of 98%+ payout rates on exclusive games. But here’s the kicker:
RTP Manipulation Behind the Scenes:
For most of the standard Pragmatic Play slots, players assume the RTP aligns with the default settings (around 96.5%). However, casinos like Stake often adjust these RTP settings to much lower rates without any transparency. They still display the original RTP values in game descriptions, which is outright deceptive.
Enhanced RTP as a Cover:
The introduction of “Enhanced RTP Slots” conveniently distracts players from the potential downgrades on the majority of their games. Sure, they showcase higher RTPs in a small selection of slots, but it’s likely a bait-and-switch tactic to lure players into thinking all their games are equally generous.
Bonuses and Raffles – A Distraction:
You’re right that raffles and bonuses don’t cost Stake much—those giveaways are just pennies compared to what they rake in from their slots and house games. All the noise about raffles and challenges is a sideshow meant to divert attention from their predatory slot practices.
The Core Advice – Avoid Slots:
Your conclusion is spot on. Slots, with or without enhanced RTP, are designed to drain funds. The illusion of higher payouts on a handful of “enhanced” games doesn’t change the fact that most players will lose over time. Stick to games with verifiable odds and avoid giving Stake an edge through their opaque practices.
It’s time for casinos like Stake to be more transparent and accountable. Players deserve clarity on RTP values and unbiased audits to ensure fairness across the board. Until that happens, I agree: the best strategy is to not play slots at all.
