ChadThicnSwole Posted October 17, 2021 #1 Posted October 17, 2021 AT FACE VALUE It seems to me that many of the casino promotions are "out of reach/out of touch". I'm only speaking from my experience as a casual gamer on stake (about to be plat 1). There's a long list of promotions that seemingly are a service to all players and add incentive to the brand. That's cool that the providers and hosting service that make millions on ALL of our entertainment feel compelled to offer a mitigation to our losses in the form of some 5+ figure promo. The reality is that by volume or affiliation, the majority of promotional events are only accessible to the crypto fortunate or affiliation through advertisement. There are a few that are exceptions, I'm sure. I am not writing this from a jaded perspective because i just ripped on stake originals again... I hope it doesn't come across as such. I take my losses for what they are...except on plinko. You devs are sick for making plinko. Formalities Now the rhetorical euphemisms are out of the way and we are all thinking objectively about the subject. There’s an obvious financial differentiation between a plat 1 and a diamond player that don’t need pointed out beyond this sentence. We all agree that those who wager millions should have greater return on their investment in stake... I mean entertainment... than someone like ChadThicn Gold. I will try to pen this with as little sarcasm and satirical humor as I can but look at my name... I cant help it. OK and what the fuck do you mean Chad... There aren't that many websites like stake that offer a complete package to the player. The benefits of VIP are easily the most enticing on the market. I applaud your marketing team's vision. Here is where I might tickle some feels the wrong way. Now is the time to grab your wet blanket or Snuggies and make sure you have some tendies to snack on before you continue. Why is it that affiliates who receive thousands, even millions in “reload” money can take part in races? Why is it that those same fortune content providers are also allowed to hide their identity on the same forum? (Disclaimer- With all due respect to the obvious two streamers and obsidian ranked gamers. I mean no disrespect and enjoy being subscribed to both on twitch. ) Affiliate, or better worded as advertising, is completely understandable. Mixing those players into systems that are intended to offer incentive to all players for wagering large sums of money is predatory. The nature of gambling has ugly consequences for those not able to control the emotional roller coaster of gambling. It's not far off a comparison to that of a drug dealer throwing juice ups around to everyone at the party except the owners hosting the party. Speaking of party, fruit party 2 smokes mids. The Dogedrop on watford EPL wins. The counteless hacksaw and pragmatic promotions that literally don’t exist except as an annoying pop up, even some stake hosted promotions like public tipping and public chat. All examples of promotions that feed the unhealthy side of gambling rather than promoting a healthy understanding. Deriving a balanced system from the variables is as rigged as plinko. The less egregious but frustrating promotions are those such as the stake games promo. I personally spent a long time and almost lost a lot of money chasing that 150x stage one goal. I thankfully sauced up a 199x to level my balance. I was feeling like I had more weight in my jeans until I saw that for some stupid fucking reason you had to buy a hacksaw game bonus buy on Wednesday - Thursday to be qualified. Fuck me, I almost ripped chasing a promotion that I can't even participate in. If I had affiliation reloads to fund my click bait chase game it wouldn’t matter. It's ironic that the same game you had to buy a bonus on is the same game that Mt. Roshmore and locomotive blew up to the tune of 20 million last week. I wish the hacksaw entry fee would have landed on a payday. Ya know, where most of the player base tends to finance their entertainment endeavors. (Except Eddie who needs to get loans from Steve shark to fuel his bust capades. At least he’s not a Dusan and pays him back.) All jokes aside, promotions come and go and its never clear as to who even won, if anyone even got paid as a winner. I cant find the results to an event I partake in even if I don’t win. They just get recycled on the promotion page with another bustsaw scratch off event... That all being said, the new challenge system is an exceptional example of I believe healthy promotional events that are obtainable to the average chad. Conclusion 1. Hidden 2. Hidden 3. Plinko 4. Hidden. 5. This is disrespectful to raw balance content providers and players alike 6. Promotions need better clarity in some cases 7. Hidden 8. Challenges and promotions are fine, just don’t use Watfords doge drop promo to make me click captchas every 10 minutes to rip on stake originals 9. Fruit party 2 isnt even a party 10. Eddie pay back steve Lastly, I feel that I have obliged my forum obligation to enter the forum giveaways now. It only took 1 month and 2 spam mutes to make an authentic post that I hope drives some conversation. If not, I hope you at least chuckled reading this once or twice. Finally, my deposit just hit and I'm going to go fuck plinko right back... see you soon.
