Welcome to doubts user OgNasty. Grin

In "Stake" is now already full of streamer, youtube or promotions by doing betting with million $. I don't think people will gonna believe is real, just take example with Trainwreckstv from a gamer to a gambling streamer now.

His betting is also with million $ bankroll, I guess since stake already full of promotion this have some high chance is also a paid advertisement My big question, how much money stake payed to make all of this person to change his lifestyle like Train from gamer to gambling.
It was probably advertisement to bring more users in Drake's story  Smiley
Regarding Trainwreckstv, he is paid over $mln since he clearly said he has monthly contract with Stake team as Rosh.
Even TrainW said on live stream, he is not going to deposit his money to stream on stupid slots that keep stealing from him for days. This is the moment we should think about it and don't fall to this advertisement trap. They are there for reason and they are paid to do this job, nothing personal just their business model works like that.

Yeah, I doubt Stake didn't pay for this promo since he clearly shared the bets on his social media accounts.
BTW, before sharing his bet slip he posted live roulette 200k win on Instagram story.
He made more than 2 bets over $500k CAD on his Super Bowl predictions according to the tweet by Stake marketing team:

It is what it is in gambling, you will get more loss streaks in case of chasing loss but things work differently in the trading world. Money management is the main key in both, having a self-dedication can save your day in trading while everything depends on your luck at the moment you decide to gamble. The more you play on gambling platforms, the house edge keeps eating your balance since slots have an average of 96% RTP while in trading you can minimize trading costs with correct platform/brokers decisions.
524  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What is the safest coin to stake? on: February 13, 2022, 09:00:31 PM
Long story short, you can Google the mentioned safe "stakeable" altcoins and choose which one suits your expectations in the long term:
1) Tezos
2) VeChain
3)Cosmos
4) Lisk
You can easily check which wallet supports the staking and choose your coin after checking rules, expected profit based on staked time. Be careful and don't fall in the network schemes, especially on social media.
525  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Arbitrage in crypto on: February 13, 2022, 08:51:34 PM
Many traders have been successful with this trading type by conducting arbitrage trading. But, I think that if we want to do this arbitrage, we must know and understand more about the pros and cons. Moreover, we can see from the fee difference of deposit or withdrawal, the time of the transaction process, the different or changing price every time in the market. Because sometimes, we may be left behind for only a few minutes because of the delayed withdrawal process, and the price has been dropped.
The cons are rarely considered by many of the newbies that want to try their hands at this style of trading, after all one of the most important cons is how low the profits that you can get really are, after all while in a normal trade even getting something like 1% is kind of easy if you are using a trading style which focuses on the short term, but when it comes to arbitrage trading profits like that would be huge and almost impossible to get, so the fees you will incur are no joke and will eat away most of your profits.
There are some risks in this type of trading, the more you push your luck the more human errors gonna happen. And I didn't even mention, withdrawal fees, trading commissions, possible delays, etc. The short-term profitability is possible but in the long run, it will turn to wasted time, better to do scalping on medium crypto pairs instead of staring at the screen chasing price difference between two exchanges, in my opinion.
Scalping can make nice profit if you know what you are doing otherwise stay away from both trading activities and stick to regular spot markets.

Just make sure you know this about this service, before you go to crazy!

    Up to 50$ - fee 5%
    50-100$ - fee 4%
    100$ and above – fee 3%

~ additional 1% fee is added, if you want to receive your tip privately, without showing it in chat.

So it makes sense to keep the exchanges above $100 to minimize the fees.... do not do small amounts, because the 5% can add up to a lot over time.  Roll Eyes

Still a much better option than having to buy the coins through other exchanges and then having to deposit it at the site.  Roll Eyes

It's still cheaper than to WD from stake/primedice to binance/other exchange and depo back. Also till some of the amounts it's cheaper than WD to changelly/coinswitch to exchange funds.
I agree.
It is cheaper to convert coins rather than paying withdrawal fees twice on both exchange and Stake but the frequency of promo code drops should be increased.
Instead of paying a $12 withdrawal fee, I prefer to convert ETH to TRX and pay minimum fees  and everyone else makes same cheap decisions to avoid extra commission Smiley

Many are frustrated with the reason for the new changes and some have offered to compensate them. I will not say here where they should be headed, but I think they will get here if they are given the benefit of the doubt to make everyone happy.  Here I think I don't know if it's important to have a VIP hotstar. I think the advantage tie is VIP

Right. I agree with you. I also don't think that having a VIP Host benefits Significantly. The main thing is VIP benefits. I understand that there are a lot of players frustrated with the new changes but, Stake had to do it to avoid too many VIP members lately. Quality matters. Suppose Stake has 100 VIP hosts. And they handling 1000 VIP members at this moment. So each VIP host handles 10 VIP members. If the VIP members increase every day and reach 1500 members, Either Stake has to hire more VIP hosts or each VIP host has to handle 15 VIP members. So, the Quality of the Support can be dropped. I don't know if it was the main reason but the reason is true.
That can need more cost to pay the VIP host that will assist VIP members and yes, the Quality of the Support can drop and make losing trust from their members. The stake will know how to handle that and changing the rule could their way to have quality VIP hosts and members and Stake maybe select only very loyal members that can be their VIP because Stake wants to give more services to the VIP members that will not be the same as regular members.

Hmm, But When you make any changes that were supposed to offer for a lifetime. At least You should make an announcement before deploying the changes. or, You can simply offer win-win things to your existing VIPs because they were supposed to get the benefits for a lifetime. Reaching Platinum 3 is not so easy. A normal player cannot be a VIP even he play there for a year or two. But, When you reach the level that means you have given a lot of afford. I am not blaming Stakes for making the changes because they had to do it to ensure the maximum quality. But, At the same time, They could offer something to their existing VIPs to make them happy. I don't know what Stakes thing about it since Stunna is silent about it.
This is the point I wanna explain, they simply ignore the old customers and all recent promotions/changes are applied to new customers. It is now even harder to get a VIP host, for the average gambler wagering 2.5 million $ is not an easy task and simply it doesn't worth the afford. Hopefully, they will take care of old registered users and should stop forgetting about old plat accounts. Today's plat3 account is like a gold account 1 year ago, Stake has to keep balance instead of putting barriers. Just my 2 cents.

It depends on each user sometimes they want to be treated like a special member who can be served anytime you will find people like this around you
While I just like you wouldn't waste time and money just to get that kind of thing better just enjoy it slowly unless they still provide other reasonable bonuses to pursue

Ofc, each user should be treated personally by VIP hosts but the special privileges for high-rollers don't worth the required insane wagering requirements, just my personal opinion.
I also don't want to chase VIP rewards, since the last 2% on the plat2 account is worth more than $800 on Stake original games.  Better to use originals and keep wagering, after big loss go to doing bonus buys and cover the possible loss. This was my strat before hitting plat3 rank. The bonus didn't even cover the loss on the last day. Cheesy
529  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - Most Popular Crypto Casino & Sportsbook - Watford & UFC Partner ⚽ 🥊 on: February 11, 2022, 09:59:25 PM
Nothing really special but VIP host give you better experience than live support because we can communicate privately to talk about anything related to our account anytime anywhere without opening Stake website. VIP host also give you surprise bonus that you cant get without VIP host. Other advantage is that VIP host may remind you or offer you to activate reload when you forget about it. There was also special regular event in the Stake forum for VIP player and each VIP host manage his/her own team to compete with other team to win decent reward. I myself lost my VIP host long time ago but I do not really care about it.
I have to say it depends on what kind of a gambler you are. Like, lets assume that we started out giving VIP to everyone, so it is no longer VIP, it is literally just the standard for anyone who gambles here and we assume that they could get the same type of attention, you know what would happen? We would be putting resources aside just for people who would gamble a few dollars per day or even per week.

This is why if you are not really looking into becoming a big time gambler, then do you really need it? This is the thing about VIPs, they are getting that kind of special treatment which is not really something huge, because they really need it, not only because they deserve it (which they do) hence why it makes sense.
TBH, I don't think it is worth just pure wagering for VIP host. Only one bonus per month on telegram group and resetting reloads, nothing more can be expected from hosts. It was better to have a link or "reset reload" button on the VIP page rather than asking from a person each week.  If you have host keep it, otherwise, don't waste money to get a host, IMO.
530  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC Dip on: February 11, 2022, 09:48:26 PM
It is speculation, we can't say which prediction suits our trading views since the market cycles are there for a reason. Hopefully, BTC will cross sub $30k levels and we can see more downfall in order to buy from low price levels, the situation will be clear if BTC can go over $70k or below $25k levels. Don't forget, there is a "dip" point of expected dip. Maybe you will be up on a short timeframe, for example on 4 hourly but daily or even weekly chart can be bearish. Big inistutional financial organizations follow weekly charts and don't use hourly charts except for finding perfect entry/exit points.
531  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - Most Popular Crypto Casino & Sportsbook - Watford & UFC Partner ⚽ 🥊 on: February 11, 2022, 08:28:51 PM
Slot developers are so predictable lately...

I have been playing lots of Slots in the last couple of months and the pattern is the same for almost all the Slots. They configure the Slot to give FREE spins regularly on the lowest bet amount, so you think the Slot is paying well.... then you increase your bet ..and it goes down rapidly with every increment that you increase your bet.  Roll Eyes

So they create the perception on the lower bets that the Slot is paying well .... but once you increase your bet, it just grabs the money back that you won on the lower bets. (lower bets are just the hook)  Grin Grin Grin
Wait, doesn't the bet amount affect the bet outcome in slots? Cheesy
For example, I bet 10$ on Dog house megaways and the bonus round pays max win on that single bet. I doubt the same multiplier will be case if my bet size was over $100. Since the house games and slots don't share same seeds, how can I convince myself casino keep playing with account RTP? Sounds fishy especially when things goes down on live profit graph.
532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino KYC how it works and to what effect on: February 07, 2022, 09:59:07 PM
For example, the Stake team offers a 15% boost for bonuses on lvl2 KYC while it is above 20% for KYC level 3 users. It doesn't worth passing KYC if solely purpose is to hunt bonuses but it adds quite a good amount for high rollers. The worst side of KYC is your data will be in hands of third parties.. If you try to make an alt account on the same casino, they will ban your account permanently unless you agree to pass KYC.
Generally speaking, there is no A+ online crypto casino operating anonymously and guarantee they will never ask for personal documents in the future. Medium tolerance is OK for average gamblers, but things can change when you hit big there and the account can put on withdrawal only mode if the user refuses KYC.

Anyone from BitCasino team can confirm, the live RTP data is reliable for all slot providers?
Like there are several alternative places to check current live RTP but no idea how the average number get calculated.
Just curious, if it is based on the casino itself and statistics or it can be applied for all casinos using slots from same provider?
534  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will cryptos go into Bull season? on: February 07, 2022, 08:58:34 PM


Cryptos have been counting the ups and downs in a balanced way lately. A coin that increased by 15% today, 2 days later we see that it has decreased by 25%. To what do you attribute this fluctuation?
When will cryptos enter Taurus month? Does anyone have any enlightening information on this subject?

When can ETH catch up with BTC?
It is called a market cycle, no one can tell the exact reason why it happens, we can only speculate around past events. The main market cycle on higher timeframes is still bullish, so expect small corrections on lower timeframes below 4 hourly. Drawing a few trendlines on both the altcoin index and the BTC chart, you can see why market prices keep climbing towards the previous resistance levels. If you don't feel comfortable with volatile altcoins markets, go try lower or medium volatile crypto pairs, IMO.
535  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Getting Used to The Market Situation is The Key to Becoming a Reliable Trader. on: February 07, 2022, 08:22:49 PM
Not knowing what you are doing is like recipe for disaster, the more you swim on the ocean the more swimming skills you will get to go with the flow or not. Having a working trading strategy is not enough on this volatile market, you have to make your decisions according to the trading plan and never chase your losses. Cutting loss is the key here and you have to be patient to take profit if the bear market takes so long. In your situation, you have to wait for the higher price levels and put the limit orders above the key resistance points instead of selling early.
536  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - Most Popular Crypto Casino & Sportsbook - Watford & UFC Partner ⚽ 🥊 on: February 07, 2022, 07:24:04 PM
Forget about compensation, they will not take care of low ranks it looks like. The more Stake grows as gambling platform, the more problems appear especially for lower ranks. I doubt it is related to service quality, they have to make Vip host accessible for lower ranks too, IMHO.

I agree with you. The much more they grow, the less they will care about low-ranked players. The service quality will definitely be affected. It's a sad reality that Stake Keep changing the terms instead of hiring more VIP host. The more players level up, They need more VIP hosts to handle a lot of players every day. So, I guess this is one of the reasons for changing the rules. Most likely, Stake is not going to hire more VIPs soon and they will keep on their decision. So, You are right. Lower rank players will face more problems in getting their service. Also, It's almost impossible to have a dedicated VIP host for every player. That's why VIP is VIP. But, I guess The Stake has enough support agents. And Every player can contact live support and moderators.

In my opinion it is exaggerated to say like that. Increasing the requirement to reach the benefits in the VIP program does not mean the less care about low or small players. Live support is still there, any players regardless the rank are still able to contact live support. As long as I know, VIP host works similar to Live Support but in different place. Live support is on the site while VIP host is on telegram. Live support is available 24/7 while VIP host is not available 24/7.

I'm trying to be neutral here, I am not fully agree with all the changes. Increasing the requirement is fine but removing some benefits from those who have reached the level before the change is not fair enough for the players. I am sure there are many players are disappointed with the change especially players ranked Platinum 3 and below. 
Ofc, it is understandable for gambling platforms taking care of high rollers but my opinion was about the permanent reload that promised lifetime for those who get Vip Host. Few months ago, it was permanent reloads on their FAQ and rewards page, the account will never lose the privileges once user reaches that required level.  Now you have to wager the secret quota to be eligible for VIP rewards, otherwise, you will be kicked out untill reaching hidden wager level on monthly basis. It is not fair for old players and they can hire more Staff since the growth is exponential.. Just my 2 cents.
537  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The faith of Altcoins in 2022 on: February 07, 2022, 04:12:07 PM
I guess the altcoin faith is left hanging at the moment and a lot of analysis has gone ahead which all point to a more groundbreaking development ahead.
I don't understand this statement. Do you think the developers of altcoins need to improve something to make investors be interested to buy altcoins? Each altcoin has its own advantage and specialty, I don't think we must generalize them. I still believe that investors are still interested to buy altcoins more in 2022, crypto market is in a correction phase. So, those investors have a chance to buy at a cheap price before the next uptrend. Sometimes investors don't think about the quality of the altcoins, they buy altcoins based on the hype. While the hype can happen at any time, there is no specific time.

That was quite logical statement, what is the reason behind your opinion that development has no direct connection with demand by investors?  The HYPE has been there for developed projects that been leader on their related circle. Quality doesn't matter for small investors who wanna get quick-rich in a single correct investment decision, the struggle becomes real when project and its market shadows don't meet expected standarts. Specific timing is as important as entry/exit prices,  being at right place on right time is more important than being skillful, experienced in this industry,  sad but true.
538  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Who is the best crypto provider to give you advice on how to trade in crypto? on: February 06, 2022, 09:59:08 PM
Trading signal groups on social media are mostly scams, they keep feeding customers with fake calls and delete the old posts that didn't make a profit for both parties. There are several united signal groups that take data from serious institutional sources but subscription fees are high for average traders. If a 10-page long market analysis is your thing, you can try the low-level signal groups but don't pay more than $100 on signal services. Depending on the future performance of the group, you can decide later to stay there or not.  Don't make the same mistakes done by naive traders before.
539  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The market is at the most oversold level on: February 06, 2022, 09:42:09 PM
Oversold according to technical analysis, we can't ignore the other aspects of market analysis. Fundamental and sentimental analysis there for a reason, we have to check each part obviously before taking into consideration the final result that affects our trades or predictions. ADA SOL and other promising altcoins will gain back the market share lost in the bear session, we have to use the right timing and avoid the leverage for harvesting our profit in Bullrun. Institutional organizations take care of low market prices while new investors keep pushing their market analysis skills, just learn to swim with market trends.

Hope they will explain, it is truly disgusting for old players above plat2. Why there is no room for low rollers while everything is done in favor of high rollers? Low-rank players should be able to race up to gold, the separate race or raffle for plat+ players also will make it fair. Ofc, no one can say high-roller to wager low or cut his raffle winnings but it should be fair for low ranks too, IMHO.
