Did you recently get a $40 "Russian Bonus" from Stake?

There are many ways that scammers can do online, what happened to you is not a new mode, it's a trick of scammers targeting their victims, they know the Stake.com gambling site which is an easy target for beginners.
Example:
Phishing E-mail Scam - November 2022

You should not do the user suggestion below.

Do NOT click the link. It seems that they used [email protected] but with a capital I instead of a lowercase l, since on some email web addresses it appears the same. It's a scam email...I've already forwarded it to my VIP host and sent it to stake support. Please notify the entire community. I opened the link on an incognito window and after about 2 minutes it goes to a third party site indirectly before showing you the stake homepage and oddly requiring you to sign in. Also note the messed up grammar in the last line.

Additional information for you.
Fraud Email - Scam

In the future, don't immediately click on the bulging web, check carefully, don't be tempted by an offer of $ 40, it can be dangerous for the laptop or Android that you have.

I get the same emails! Both!!!
Bonus and confirmation (apology) of email sent in Russian.
The link inside the email is correctly their main site (stake.com) so it's the original site and I have trusted with no doubts... but the bonus I got isn't working! Roll Eyes

type.promo cannot be found or is unavailable.

update: Looks like I got a lucky freebie, this email came ~2.5 hours later.

"Hi 'Blockstock',
The previous email you were sent from Stake was sent in Russian, which was not intended.

Stake is a global company & a lot of communications are localized.

Luckily, the bonus sent in that email is valid for you and only you, so please feel free to claim that bonus.

Rest assured this was sent by us and is a legitimate email. We apologize for the inconvenience and we hope you’re having a great new year."

// Question answered, thank you Stake for being the most generous casino!

I think you have enough answers to your questions here so there is no doubt for that if it is a gift that is yours for you to claim, my advice is that you should end the story in this thread and lock this thread so that there is not much spam posting in this thread

My email had a surprise, a very scary looking email all in Russian, except I knew how to read the "$40". It seemed like obvious, dangerous phishing spam, but the "raw data" in the email headers showed it was sent from Stake's legit email address. The link leads to the actual Stake site, and I was already logged in, not needing to give out a password. Very odd, but a real nice little surprise:
