Stingy Stake Christmas. What's going on?!

[sykosinatra]

Hello everyone,

Am I the only one feeling really let down by Stake's Christmas events and drops this year?

Back in 2022-2023, we used to get $5 drops for just $5-7K wagers with drop limits totaling $25000, which felt fair and reachable: 

Some days, there were 8-10 drops. Now, we're lucky to get 3 or 4, with wagers of $10-25K with mere 10K drop limits - and that wager amount for 5 dollars only! That’s just ridiculous— you might as well put it in the high roller Telegram channel instead.

The daily challenges are pretty weak too. Across all challenges, we’re barely getting $1-2 while spending 10 times that amount. Plus, we don’t even get the 100% on top of the base reward for verification anymore.

Overall, this feels really disconnected from the community, and I doubt I’m the only one feeling this way. This can’t be good for keeping players engaged.

One small improvement is using images for the codes so bots can’t claim them—that’s good, but that’s about it.

Also, how do you expect us to reach those wager requirements when the RTP is absolutely down the drain? My stats are totally different in 2021-2022 compared to today.

Just sharing my thought.

Thank you for reading.

I agree. Things have really gone south lately and I feel Stake is losing its touch with the community catering only to its promoters and influencers leaving the rest of us common folks in the gutter.

I agree with you tho site getting bigger and bigger and promos getting well if not worse they are not getting better anyway I mean how hard is it to come up with new things??? Drops that are way way wayyy worse then last year and wager is up to like 5x more aswell. X giveaway that even them are less I think then last year. 

On the so called eddie christmas stream they uped the Discord bonus buy to 3000 instead of 1000. Which meant that 5 people, thats 5 customers out of lets say 50000 got something extra that stream. Other then that it was the same as its been for ages. 
Stake are generous with bonuses dont get me wrong but come on, hire some qualified people that can distribute them in a new fun way. 

Get rid of the rediculious drops that are gone in 1 sec, it litterly takes 1 sec for them to be gone. 
Take all the money for the drops and do customized bonuses for your regular players instead. It aint that hard and the money would go to the correct people instead of bots and abusers.

Stake should aim to be better not the opposite. 

You've got a point about those $1-3 drops. As soon as they're released, they're gone in a flash. Maybe it's time to try a new system or method for dropping these codes because bots and farmers are getting way ahead of us regular folks trying to claim something. The fast-claim system is frustrating, with everyone having their offers tabs, and Telegram in the background waiting for the drop. It's really frustrating that it's based on a fast-claim system, to be honest.

Yeah the wager requirements isn't still l stopping bots and last year I claimed almost all the drops  I don't even try anymore, even the stream is a waste of my time  

[dyzzi]

Yeah I see the 15k wager requirements today and left the telegram cuz there's no point anymore. They act like they are becoming more exclusive it seems. And it's not like they are losing anything by doing drops. 99% of every bonus never leaves stake and prompts many of us to put more into it. They are growing, not even almost losing profits so it makes zero sense to me to "code ban" or continue to make bonuses less and drops less attainable.

drops already claimed in just a split second. 😑

And we have to pay for it bro? It's the worlds biggest crypto casino. I think they'll survive with a little lower wager requirement for those peanuts they're handing out.

to be fair they have given out 3 different monthlys .. and probably more coming

Yea wow! How generous they give back 30 usd after ripping you with off 2k. I get it being thankful and something is better than nothing, but guys are too content for nothing. Again, just my opinion and I respect all views. Thanks for sharing mate.

[ewa91]

It is normal the amount of players increased and the average wager too so it makes total sense just inflation went up too so stake could top up the bonuses from 5 to at least 10

No, for the reasons you listed, it does not make sense for them to reduce the rewards total.

It would make sense for them to increase them proportionally.

So, for some reason, when there were less users, there were a total of 5000 claims possible, but now with more users, there are only 2000 claims. It's not as if the higher wager requirement actually makes it less competitive.

But these drops are for marketing purposes not as replacements for any compensation imo.

I wasn't checking claims . The wager up made total sense but less claims is nonsense you are right

such low bonus for such high wagered and loss amount ... it kind of has been a joke recently not going to lie. in the process losing a lot

[dawid-m]

Not worth to participate...

[Bunkari]

I think u have to look it as this way: 

 

Last year they had less wagers less players doing x$ of each drop.

 

Now they have more and avg wager go up.  

[cos123]

yes correct

[DoubleDownNeow]

ppl get to those bonus drops fast too 

[boochu]

drops already claimed in a flash  hardly can get

[DMase213]

It's been tough this go around, much harder than last year
