What is the benefit of having them as your referral if they withdraw the funds instantly after receiving the tip? The new users are required to fill the level 1 KYC information to enable the withdrawal on Stake. Although I could be wrong here, but Stake team may apply higher level KYC requirements on your referral if most of them just withdraw the funds after receiving the tip.
This is quite normal when someone try to give small bonus for anyone who is willing to register through a referral link. Free money hunters may try to abuse it by register as referral then they will withdraw once they receive the tip as promised. Of course it will be depending on the amount of the bonus, but free money hunters may do it even if the amount is small and even if they need to do higher level KYC process. For me, offering free money to register as our referral is effective to get number of referrals only but it wont be effective to get referral commission or to get real gamblers as referral.
I don't believe on giving free money for signing up since it cannot attract the real gambler but rather they will just get those free money abusers. But if he could able to give a cash back like for example his referrals will deposit some amount and he give 20% back base on the amount they deposit, then for sure this maybe this one can attract real gamblers since they would think that they can get something from them if they deposit then register under his link. Also for sure those people will sign up under his link would not avoid those KYC process and continue to gamble since they like the casino and what he offers to them.
You are right and I completely agree with you, even in our contemporary society today, anything free will always attract abusers, and same also it is online as well, and most especially in crypto currency and gambling as well, for example, a project that comes on and give people free tokens for doing absolutely nothing, such project will hardly succeed because this who got the free tokens will keep dumping it and will leave and totally forget that project as soon as they finish dumping their bags and have nothing else to sell.
In gambling as well, if a person is promoting his or her referral link and promises to send free money to who ever signs up on the casino using the link, such person will sure find a lot of referrals who he will spend money on, but that money, he can never make it back through the referral bonus of the casino, almost all those who signed up will never make a single deposit, they are just going to play with the free money, if they win, they withdraw it and may never come back, if they lose they leave and will never come back..
So, the best strategy is that which you have said or suggested, which is, get those signing up under ones link to make a deposit first, then depending on how much they deposited, the promoter can give them a certain percentage back as a bonus, this is more effective in attracting serous gamblers.
