Hi everyone, I don't write many posts but most of you probably are aware of the tactics that Evolution uses. I've been playing at Stake since 2022 and I've pretty much been only playing craps so I've got 100's of hours of videos. I didn't notice anything significant until Jan-Feb of 2024 where it was clear the rolls were not random anymore. I've been playing craps at brick and mortar casinos over 10 years so clearly I am down at the game because it's impossible to play craps professionally. I enjoy playing it. I have officially played my last game of craps at Stake today because it is getting worse. It's bad that Craps is such a negative EV game to begin with for the player but Evolution feels they need to cheat even more to gain an edge. Here are the following tactics they use: 1. The delay your payouts. When you win and leave the game, you don't get paid out. 2. They autonomously remove your bets. When they remove these bets, the funds get removed from your balance and you will need to contact Stake Support to get them back. I've had to do this many, many times. 3. When you bet lays, they actually move them. This happened once but I was lucky that I caught it. I think most people realize the changes Evolution presents with their craps game but many of them are addicted degenerates that can't stop while Evolution rinses them. I hope you guys learn from my experience and simply avoid Evolution. If they go to this extent to cheat, they must be doing it in other games. Ever wonder why they only change the bottom felt of the table and never the crocodile skin on the side? There's no point changing one without changing the other.

I’ve been playing blackjack for years. I can tell you the rng for stake blackjack is not normal. I’ve tried all the stake originals and I don’t believe any of the games to be truly random. Stick to live, I don’t recommend any stake originals. They must be making a shit ton with those games.

I think you lack some perspective. Stake generates revenue from customers. There is no ad revenue that I have seen nor any subscription based model for anything here. Whether or not someone is upset about any bonuses, Stake should do their due diligence on what possible outcomes exist to determine ROI. I feel like there is something else going on here because to simply give away money like this is idiotic. It’s more idiotic to claim that this is a marketing decision. Anything under 1k won’t make a high roller blink. So if there were any high rollers who were upset with this, I’m sure Stake would’ve dealt with it privately. Here’s the problem: if you want to bring more attention and garner more incentive for the average person to gamble, you need to make decisions that will be favourable to this pool. This decision clearly wasn’t, doesn’t matter the reason. If people aren’t happy, they mean it. Just like when a girl decides to break up with you, she probably made the decision a long time ago but was waiting for an opportune time. I think that’s how many people feel here. Whether you believe their anger is justified or not, that’s how they feel and you should respect that. Stake may be growing real fast now, but this should be taken as a huge red flag moving forward.

Whether a random individual leaves immediately or not won't be the long term issue. As a whole, many people will start to deposit less. This will lead to a decrease in revenue. Stake has many sponsorships and they will need to keep up as much revenue as possible. As a result of the decreased deposits from the majority of the customer base, Stake will most likely decrease the value of each bonus further. This in turn will cause more people to lose interest, get upset and deposit even less or not deposit at all but instead sit on the bonuses while playing at other casinos that offer better promotions. Eventually we will come to a point where Stake will have to make a tough decision. Everyone knows that inflation is still not under control and cost of living is only going higher. The degenerates who have lower incomes won't be able to gamble at all because they simply can't afford it. What will Stake do? They will have to cater to the high wagering-high loss customers to stay afloat. Most of these people I know are already looking for alternatives. I can safely say, that the best way to describe the current situation is that most customers are "monkey branching" at this point.

I’ve noticed that the people who don’t care, are the ones who don’t gamble at this site often and do not have much invested. The people who care about this email fiasco, are the opposite…they have invested a lot of time and lost alot of money. In the end, like any other business, Stake would need to take a long and hard look on how to maximize their ROI. They just took 2 steps back with this incident.

I just see this as something Stake does because they can. Many people aren’t happy and when a new up and coming casino pops up, many people will jump ship without thinking twice, because they can. Gambling is an industry where there are so many options for customers that more focus should be taken on retaining customers.
