Christmas events were....

[ChadThicnSwole]

I really like playing on stake because of the bonuses and incentive they offer for wagering. No one does it better than stake. Lets get that out of the way first so its clear. Stake.com is the best there is in terms of the way it takes care of its players. Stake support is top notch and always responds quickly. There is no service out there in the world that is as quick to help as stake support. Hats off to those men and women doing gods work this season dealing with the support tickets. i cant imagine the pile of work it is. Thank you for being awesome. 

That all being said, lets look at the event highlights. The million dollar race, and million giveaway are pretty much negligible to 99.9 percent of the player base. Yes there are few who were blessed this season but the vast majority of wagered in these forums will go without reward. At face value it may sound impressive at these dollar amounts but in application, it rewards a fractional percent of the players. I wagered 300k the week of Christmas. The 25 days of bonus drops is really the only "extra" we got this month. If you wagered 20k in the last 30 days that is. Look, i don't want to sound like I'm complaining because I am very appreciative of all the bonuses provided by stake, but I was hoping for a more global reward to all the players who wagered. The 30 dollars i am slated to receive in the race makes up for the recent weekly being drastically lower than normal. I wagered 300k in a week and got 260. That's 40 short of normal 1 per 1k wagered. Even without watford didn't get a win, we did receive a generous post monthly on the 16th that was actually a surprisingly high number for those who reached platinum. 10 min reloads really just cause rain farming and site lag. All the promotions and announcements are not very rewarding to the players because they require the player to spend money wagering games or amounts that aren't comfortable with. If there is anything I would say to stake "marketing team", next year offer more to all of the players. Its Christmas and holiday for everyone. The Christmas day and highlight of the month event saw 25k into the vault of 25 players chosen at "random" and 91 winner's of 1million. How does that feel to the players who looked forward to a possible Christmas day blessing that we all thought was coming? The players like me who wagered 300k in a week get nothing but reduced weekly and raffle tickets that mean mean nothing. Again, I don't want to sound like I am complaining. I am only trying to offer a perspective to maybe help structure next year or future events more productively to the players as a whole. Thank you for the fun that we did have this stakemas regardless though! Underwhelming, but still a joy, I hope you all have/had a blessed holiday with loved ones and a new year brings new fortune! I look forward to hearing other opinions on this...
