Sorry if this has been discussed before and I somehow missed it, I just learnt that Stake will be terminating their internal Tipping feature, this a feature that have served alot of their customers for ages now in different areas and activities in the casino, like for example..
1. In-chat tipping other users
2. Exchanging from one coin to another through third party exchange services like poor bot, which utilized the internal Tipping feature to successful carry out this service.
3. Even the Stake signature ad campaign participants get paid through internal Tipping which is way more convenient, free off fees and fast too.
The above, and many more where the uses of the Tipping feature on stake, and right now, stake is going to shut this feature down, any reason for this? And are there any other alternatives that will be made available for users?
Eddie also said these infor via email were supposed to come last Monday, yet there was no email.
I also wonder how they will send the price for the foum winners then, since they also always came via tip function.
Well, I never used the tipping feature anyway, just read a lot of bad things about it. Beggars asking for donations, hacked accounts sending tips out to their partner accounts and drain the victims, and so on.
But yeah, the coin exchange feature will be gone of course, not that I ever used it and stake campaign members will also get a new way to receive their money I guess.
I wonder why they changed this, but caring I am not, haha.
Yeah, beggers always begging for donations which is only possible through the internal Tipping feature, and worst of it all, scammers using the internal Tipping feature to drain wallet of their victims really give the casino a bad name, but I still personally feel this things shouldn't have been enough reason for them to decide to shut down the Tipping feature, there should have been other ways to stop this activities like beggers begging for donations, and for scammer using the Tipping feature to drain their victims wallet, a simple introduction of 2fa, where the hacker will be required to enter a 2fa before carrying out a tip should have solved this problem.
It's just the same we we have to enter 2fa before withdrawing from our accounts, but then, they would have to make 2fa activation mandatory for all users, this should have been a better option to explore, than outrightly shutting down the Tipping feature.
Anyways, what do I know, maybe there are some other major reasons for their decision that we know not.
