Stake hunts multi-account owners as far as I know, that is why many people who have created more than 1 account get low bonuses. Monthly bonuses should consider the base amount per VIP but that rules has been removed months ago. Regarding the weekly bonuses, now they count the house edge factor of the most wagered game. The more you wager on originals the less bonus you will get, everything depends on the house edge factor on new VIP bonus system.

I know some users create more than one account they take advantage of bonus codes given by streamers you know for every new user who qualifies they will get up to $35 reload bonus this is one of the reasons why they create multiple accounts. We don't know who to blame, maybe disabling the invite code bonus could be a solution lol.

You are right house edge is the main factor for determining our bonus, original games only contribute 1% revenue for stake.com and we will get 15-25% for $10000 wagered Stake.com gets $100 fee as a player we will earn $15-25 well this amount will be divided into several categories rakeback , weekly and monthly bonuses. The calculation will be different if you play a game from a third party the bonus is 4-5 times higher especially for slot games.
They have changed the bonus system since last Christmas and now many high-roller VIP users are not satisfied with the current bonus mechanism, IMHO. Multiple accounts are detected by their system, as you can see so many users get very low monthly bonuses like a $5 monthly coupon for plat 2 users. It is not acceptable ration to get a few dollars worth bonuses for such high-level VIP users, Eddie has not explanation for this bonus system probably. I dunno why it is so dead bonus for high plat users, they are responsible to motivate plat users, IMO.

It is true that we as good human beings also need some fun, but sometimes it is difficult because many do not know healthy fun and that includes being able to control emotions and performing many functions, including putting everything on a scale, not go crazy, and control impulses above all, when we play we have many impulses and that is what leads us to make bad decisions.

If we had the coldness of a robot to manage our own emotions, we would be very advanced beings and with many things that we can achieve, but it is difficult, very difficult to control emotions, and even though it is something we can do ourselves, we get into our minds that we are invincible when we play and that is when we lose the most money.
Yeah, but sadly we aren't robots capable of controlling our emotions. I believe it's quite hard for a human being to achieve complete control over their emotions. Quitting gambling can be an extremely difficult decision for someone who has been gambling for years, but it may not be as hard for someone who only gambles casually and in moderation. To be honest, I don't plan to give up gambling because it brings me joy and I genuinely enjoy doing it with my friends from time to time. It never negatively affects me because I know how to control myself and rarely exceed my limits. Even when I do, I don't regret it.
When we experience loss we'll decide not to gamble anymore, soon after that our mind will think why don't we just wager a little. We'll experience little win and increase the capital. Now we start to gamble regularly and at some point we don't have control and want to make specific amount out of gambling. We run behind the target and in between we won't be able to achieve it. Our mind doesn't accept it and we will be with positive thoughts and borrow to gamble. Now the risk is big and this continues, so when you prefer to stop gambling you should not think of it anymore.
Exactly, when you keep thinking about gambling it turns out to be you are somehow addicted to the casino games. Logically, as an addicted gambler you gonna deposit and play more while there are other important things in life to do. Quitting gambling is not easy for an addicted person, there are many variables gamblers should take into consideration before deciding to quit it completely but as you explained once you decide to do so better not to rethink gambling and its consequences, IMO. Just decide what you wanna do and follow this path with help from a professional psychologist.
23  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: July 17, 2023, 09:22:18 PM
We never get satisfied as well as doesn't want to lose. If we were satisfied then surely majority of the users never want to feel sad gambling. Because, majority of the gamblers make good profit and further the greed only makes them lose everything. Even today I had such a feeling, because I had doubled the capital and I didn't stopped. What happens further, lost everything in just four rolls which shows that gambling is all about limiting ourselves on profit as well as on lose.
Disgusting gambling sessions happen every month on my end, there are many bad days that I have tried to turn the other way around but failed to do so. That is because of the greed that I should learn how to control, otherwise, modern capitalism forces us to think gambling money is easy money. That feeling should be ignored during game sessions to save our emotions and hard-earned money. Learning from the mistakes of other gamblers helps in such situations, losing is just a part of the game.
24  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you feels like only draw is your win on Blackjack on: July 17, 2023, 09:11:52 PM
I mostly suggest trying live Blackjack games instead of wasting time on original BJ on house-listed games, the chances are higher because of the decks. On house BJ, it is undefined decks so it lowers our chance to win and logically many draws happen. That feeling comes after a few draw hands and you only stress after each game session, try live blackjack to feel the difference in odds, IMO.
25  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: July 17, 2023, 08:58:51 PM
You can't rely on a game of chance as your main or major source of income. This is the worst decision you would make. I would understand it if you were talking about games where skills may give you some advantage, like poker and other card games. However, even if you have the required skills and master the game, you should never make it your main source of income because the results will not please you.

Even if the gambler has the related skills, I doubt anyone can win the same game with consistent winnings. I haven't seen such a gambler, there isn't a concrete proven track record. Card games and poker are based on skills&luck but no one is going to win all games by being lucky consistently, IMO. Mastering the game is the myth and gamblers not going to beat house edge, IMO.
Consistent winning is not at all possible with gambling. Even the expert who doesn't care about the wagering amount fails, people use different tricks and strategies. These things doesn't work all the time. For this we need to be lucky and even the luckiest to win big jackpot losses. This is how the platforms were developed, if not within short time period these gambling houses would've gone bankrupt.
I have to agree, there are no such people who are lucky consistently on modern online casino platforms. It is possible to be lucky for months but the house always wins sooner or later. If we apply this logic, there is no working strategy or trick to beat house edge even if the gambler has a specific bias on the games.

Some gamblers are born lucky, they don't need skills to beat the game logic and win money. Online casinos let us to experience this feeling, so everything is just a part of the path to the success for both party gamblers, IMO.
26  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - Drake, UFC, Everton, Alfa Romeo F1 Team on: July 17, 2023, 08:28:41 PM
Is it something that was announced officially by Stake in their last stream?

I wagered few thousands dollar last week which means couple of tickets as well. I received $18 as platinum 2, usually I received $10 only when I wagered less in a week. I cant really remember what was the lowest weekly I had received, but I think I had never received less than $10.

The question is, will they keep giving pre/post monthly bonus? With the fact that they reduced other bonuses, it is also possible that the pre/post monthly bonus will also be lowered in the near future. Anyway, since you are getting close to Platinum 5, it seems that you will stop playing/depositing once you reach plat 5.

I didn't watch last week's stream but for something like this it is usually not announced, indeed most people confirm that the monthly bonus is reduced by around 50% one example is usually reload for monthly bonus is $1 for Bronze but now it's only $0.5 while for Platinum up I haven't got the information yet, I'm talking about monthly bonuses not weekly. You confirm that your weekly bonus has not changed from usual, here we have 2 different statements can we assume that it only applies to some users?
Stake hunts multi-account owners as far as I know, that is why many people who have created more than 1 account get low bonuses. Monthly bonuses should consider the base amount per VIP but that rules has been removed months ago. Regarding the weekly bonuses, now they count the house edge factor of the most wagered game.

28  Economy / Gambling / Re: Loophole in stopping Money Laundering through Wagering on: July 16, 2023, 09:51:33 PM
There are methods to fight against money laundering and there are KYC, and AML rules on many gambling platforms for obvious reasons. If the gambler uses wagering methods to launder money, it is easily detectable by the system after withdrawing big amounts. So I doubt it is a good idea to use gambling sites for this purpose. There are other methods they use mostly NFT industry, AFAIK. Just my 2 cents.
29  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: July 16, 2023, 09:41:06 PM
<snip>
People who are alcohol addict, their mind stops working when they drink more alcohol but still they don't make decision which ruin their lives whereas the gambling addicts are so cruel to themselves, their mins is also working yet they keep on playing, take loan, sell their belongings only to play more gamble or recover their losses.
~
Alcohol, substance, and gambling addictions, they all sometimes contribute to aggressive behavior of the person, behaviors, and decisions that could ruin their lives or others'. It is not limited to gambling addiction alone.

From the article shared by the OP, the 65-year-old grandfather could be in deep gambling addiction; he would never do what he has done if not.
It is not age limited but quite dangerous for underage gamblers who have been targets for some online gambling platforms years ago before proper regulation requirements. The addicted gambler can lose control over his emotions and gamble with the money he can't afford to lose. That is why there are so many beggars on casino chats looking for free tips after losing rent money on useless slots. It is what it is and only hard life lessons may change their perception of this industry, IMHO.
30  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: July 16, 2023, 09:33:26 PM
Well, truth is, even the professional gamblers are also having a hard time to commit on the daily quota that they should get because fact is, gambling doesn't provide a guaranteed income to the gamblers. But since we're inside the topic of a hundred bucks, it will be an easy thing for these pro gamblers to get that money as for them, they don't usually bet within that range or even think of it as their minimum.

If you're that someone who want a much higher chance of winning, then seeking some help from a professional gambler might do the trick but be ready for the part where they will have some cut of that winnings because none of that are free. They worked hard for that and it is safe to assume that there's a fee for every advice they gave to you.
Professional gamblers know how to make money on a monthly basis but it is hard to get exactly $100 per day due to the unpredictable nature of the gambling itself. Pro gamblers have a positive linear profit curve while newbies look for the max win on the game to get rich overnight. Limiting yourself to $3k per month is something that can have positive and negative sides for the pro gambler, maybe his potential is enough to make more.
I don't think there's a certain guarantee for a gambler to earn a particular amount of money  daily, weekly, monthly or yearly no matter how good the said gambler is in predicting games.
There's are bad days when a gambler will lose a reasonable amount of money  and there are good days when a the same gambler will have massive winnings. Betting on casinos is as the same as other forms of gambling games so no one should act as if he/she is a specialist
Maybe yes but this is not also the right way to think about professional gamblers, not concrete amounts but they are able to finish the month with positive amounts. Predicting the game results has been their main job so if they are bad at this activity why do we call them professional gamblers in the first place? They are able to earn a reasonable amount per month and make consistent income with experience, money management, etc.
31  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - Drake, UFC, Everton, Alfa Romeo F1 Team on: July 16, 2023, 09:21:59 PM
I don't have a monthly bonus as a form of reload so it is hard to compare current and previous bonuses, monthly bonuses can be in the form of a coupon. Anyways, we all agree the bonuses won't be lucky for us since slots don't pay anything bigger for whatever reason. My monthly bonus was the same as it was before, IMO.

Yeah we have our own opinion on my side is not always like that sometimes I'm luckier and depending on how we control ourselves, psychologically it is different if we play with free money with personal money with free money we can play more brutal whereas with personal money we are usually more careful, not sure if i'm the only one who thinks this way  Grin tomorrow we will receive a weekly bonus hope you get back what you lost, good luck on your side.
Thanks but busted that weekly bonus as well lol
There are other bonuses expected to arrive due to the recent Christmas in July promotion but it is not enough to recover what I have lost on originals.  Maybe I should change or modify the game style on the originals and it is better to keep playing only slots. The only problem is wagering is really hard and expensive on slots due to the rare and low payout bonuses.

I think Tome of Life from Stake Originals has been giving out a lot of money from what I have seen in the chat and the good thing at that game is that keeps you playing much longer than other slots from other providers,if you buy the bonus there you never get less than 1/5 of what you paid for while in other games you can get even 0 money on the bonus if you buy it,so if wagering is a problem you should continue and play the originals,I played with 2000 IDR for more than 2 hours as I won initially and I then kept increasing the bet until I got busted.

As for the bonus,it is true that this one has nothing to do with Christmas in July  Grin as only 2.50 dollars for me 0.50 x 5 day reloads,yet we should be happy as long as they are giving us this for free.
The originals are not the same as before since they had lowered the bonuses and cut the base amount per VIP.
Regarding the reloads, I have to agree, it is a free amount, and reloads are better than getting nothing compared to other platforms. Take it or make more deposits to wager more for the higher VIP tiers,IMHO.
32  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: July 15, 2023, 09:59:06 PM
Nothing new, people want to beat the system which is doing illegal things one of example is cheating to the gambling casino, we know how people are knowledgeable into computers especially with bots, and other formats or ways just to by pass the current system but of course the developers not called as developers if they cant see this hole in their system that might abuse by the players reason why some of the accounts came from cheaters and abusers getting freeze because of their illegal activities. They see gambling as easy money because of their knowledge but of course at the end there's a consequences of doing this kind of act.
Yeah, I agree such developers and gamblers always look for loops in the algorithms of the casino and then use such holes for gaining an advantage against the house. It is a matter of time to get the attention of the casino developers who gonna freeze account activity and maybe sue the user for such illegal activity. Anyways, nowadays casino managers do bug bounties for findings possible vulnerabilities and they send big rewards to the hunters, AFAIK. It is better to use dev skills on the related industries, IMO.
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Time for bounties and airdrops as we near bull season on: July 15, 2023, 09:50:24 PM
Maybe joining new bounty campaigns will be worthful but I am not sure about airdrops for obvious reasons. The wasted amount of time and energy doesn't worth the penny's worth of tokens we get on airdrop campaigns but good-paying bounty campaigns are still there for skilled users. In the best-case scenario, the alt season will bring a second breath on this promotional campaigns, we hope. In the worst case, bounty hunters may hold such paid bounty reward tokens till these tokens are listed on the better exchanges, IMHO.

There is no concrete number we should think it is the appropriate percentage to gamble with it, IMO. If you feel it is time to have fun on casino platforms, then go for it and never limit yourself to some percentage unless you can't afford it at all. Maybe you will be lucky and that slot you play will hit the max multiplier on the bonus round. Well, it is still under the question but we are sure it is matter of time and luck it will pay your something big once.

Heathly relationship with gambling sounds cool, I doubt there are many users who have such signs on popular gambling platforms. Sometimes I open the gambling chat and gonna read what people type each other. After a few hours, the same people on the chat were discussing the same things and this is a clear sign of gambling addiction. Such addicts look for additional money to continue chasing losses and recover the loss. Pathetic but sad reality on many gambling platforms, unfortunately.
38  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: July 14, 2023, 09:52:04 PM
Is an excessive gambler already an addict? But successful gamblers can be termed as professional gamblers rather than branded as addicts. Are we going to call Lionel Messi an addict or a successful e-sport DOTA 2 player worth millions of dollars a computer addict? There are a lot of people here in Bitcointalk that spend a lot of hours daily, they're addicts as well right? So it's like all people that excelled in their fields are addicts.

So addiction is not really bad after all. As long as we are benefitting it in a positive manner and we are able to balance our lives then I guess we're good. 
Relativity is used in your example, we can't surely know what it looks like to be a successful gambler since it is not a concrete profession. It only takes one bad day to lose all profit back and then we start to call gamblers not unsuccessful but loser addicts. Gamblers should understand the risks and make decisions based on the odds and probability, I doubt being experienced have any role in such cases. Just my 2 cents.
39  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: July 14, 2023, 09:42:31 PM
it is difficult if someone is too comfortable in gambling which will end up being addicted it is difficult to stop and when they have the desire to stop and do more positive activities only their family can help. if we talk about addiction it will never end but how else sometimes many new people try gambling after that they are lucky to get big wins and from that someone will become addicted because they feel they are getting something big without realizing they will lose continuously when trying to bet and lose after that chasing losses.
And by trying to chase loss, they will become emotional, making them forget that defeat is a sure thing that happens in gambling. If one loses in gambling, all the negative feelings will gather together and if he cannot have peace, he will only sink deeper into gambling and even when it becomes a gambling addiction, he will spend more money. And when a person has become addicted to gambling, he will think of nothing but gambling and just want to gamble all the time.
Lets us make it look entirely like such move doesn't favor some gamblers, what I believe we should be talking about is the fact that, such move doesn't favor most gambler, it only favors the very lucky few..
I am talking about chasing after gambling losses, and one other thing I must lay emphasis on is that, losing is not such a bad thing after all, it all depends on the gamblers and their individual mindset, if a gambler is losing and yet, keep gambling, and still losing but refuse to stop, that's very fine as long as he is OK with  the loses.

But then again, if the gambler is losing and refuse to stop gambling, and later on comes around to complain about losing too much, then such a gambler is mentally ill.
The current online casinos throw many ads on the public platforms to promote their service and that is why there were boom days during the pandemic lockdown for increasing casino users. If the gambler can't stop his addiction, he should take into consideration professional support from a psychiatrist. Losses can grow and destroy a person's life due to the urge with a snowball effect.

And again monthly goes back to Eddie xD
I can't understand why slots behave differently during bonus days, like over 3000 spins no bonus. Even if slot goes bonus round, it doesn't hit over 50x.

Generally I feel the same way when I lose but not for those who won  Cheesy so far no one can prove the casino can control our wins or losses because they basically rely on the house edge as income while those who design games are providers from third parties. By the way monthly bonuses are sent early I suspect we will receive another monthly bonus in early August I mean during the stake birthday celebration, hopefully not just a wish but a reality  Smiley  some people say the reload bonus is lower than usual, is it true?

Maybe you should ask from the support team to confirm if it was the right amount you got or not. That is gonna clear the all raised questions probably.
