I'm wondering how long Stake will have this $1,000 freeroll, is it reall worth to burn $2k per day to promote the new poker?

Stake is running the freeroll tournaments after every 6 hours. So, they are burning $4k everyday through the poker tournament. BTW, I just noticed that 'evenbet' is mentioned on the poker game page of Stake.



Does it mean that Stake poker was developed by EvenbetGaming, not by their own developers?

[ryzaadit]

-snip-

Basically, they're using Poker Client Software from Evenbet.

The software client it's from them but (Stake) can make some customisations based on their own perspective or development. If we take a look on their service product: https://evenbetgaming.com/products/poker-games-development/ based on how the interface from the client software. It's cleary are from Evenbet. The different could be just interface like (Logo or design) but most of the system of the software are the same.

Just my two cent......

Oh I just saw now you gave them back,this confirms my doubts that things are not like they used to be there,I used to win very often,now it is since 3 January 2024 that I have not won anything,my last win was a huge one x11339 on Return of Green Knight,yet since then I have only lost,not normal.

I have a hard time believing you wouldn't have won even small amounts after that, but it's possible. It's allmost as likely as hitting that x11339. You are hinting that games could be rigged against you, but at the same time you seem to totally ingore the rest of your sentence.

Probablitity of losing a lot of bets in a row is unlikely, but so is winning once big. So how come the losing part in this isn't normal but at the same sentece, you admit that you just won a jackpot, which is normal to you? Or is weird because you also lost a lot after that? Slots and casino games are programmed with mathematical probability, to make money then give money.

I would say that winning jackpot wasn't the normal part here, but that's just me.

But i see this all the time: really unlucky = not normal, or rigged.
Really insanely lucky = lucky, and normal.

BTW, I had a good result on (Poker Freeroll) on Saturday as well, ending with position 16th. To bad ended because need to call due my chips is runout by big blind & ante turn.

great result !

Did anyone notice? on Saturday Free Roll Poker 8:00 PM. We have few category on the tournament table:
- Win price by eliminating a specific player
- Win price by eliminating pro player
- Freeroll tournament

Do everyone know the prize on win by eliminating specifiq player/proplayer? and do we actually have these during the tournament ? how much is the reward.

Did they have this last saturday? I couldnt find anything about this. This could be something planned for the future even though but as I know of, so far this is just a regular poker game. I really wish they actually switch things up by turning this into some sort of bounty tournament instead but meh, beggars cant be chooser

Yesterday, someone from my table actually went all in almost every hand and win every single one of it including against me. Turning 50BB chip into 500BB chips only on level 1 blinds, insane luck

One question I have is that I play live blackjack games on this site but I have noticed many times that when everyone bet big amounts on the board the dealer gets 20/21 points even with risky cards.  How does it happen?  Can there be any tricks in giving cards here?  I don't understand if it depends on luck and random cards come.  I can see that they are giving random cards but I doubt that any technique works here.  Can someone clear this up for me.  I have lost good amount of money here now I am confused about it

It's not just happening to you; I experience that same thing often too. For sure not only us. This is why I don't play the originals by Stake much anymore. As much as possible I stick to sports betting. Actually, someone posted on the scam accusations board about something similar regarding the Original by Stake, implying there's some cheating involved. They say that originals are probably fair but when I'm playing these game it feels not probably fair.

great result !

Thank you.

Only on Saturday, and at the time (Poker-Time) during Weekly Stream. There are some 3 (LOGO) in the Table Match Information, move your cursor to 3 LOGO in the table match and you will find out these 3 categories. Well-meaning he just want to get bankroll as much he want by getting lucky, for me in the beginning folding everytime and just play with a strongest card.

Just received this email that claimed I obtained "VIP PLATINUM" status but  unfortunately didn't even waste time going through it because stake emails are from stakes company's domain address and not how I received this email..and getting an upgrade doesn't come in this form.. hope other players stay on high alert to avoid falling  for such cheap phishing attempts from scammers trying their luck.

It's crazy that stake doesn't even tell their members officially that their emails and other stuff have been stolen from them.
Sure, this happened a long time ago but still stake never even acknowledged that, really sad.

Obviously it's easy to spot these mails are fake. Not only from the email but also from the content. Why would stake move up players to platinum when they didn't do enough wager, doesn't make any sense.

But I am sure some poor souls still fall for this and might lose their account and/or some money.

Slots games are completely algorithm based so there is a lot of cheating because you are betting there to win and you are predicting that you will win that bet but you cannot understand or see what is happening in the backend of the game. so it is much higher risk. But those who enjoy gambling do not worry about win loss. But if we see that they are cheating us by using different tricks then it cannot be accepted. I still don't understand that they are cheating somehow. I think we lose gambling because of our bad luck

If we pay attention to the participants in each Freeroll there are around 2500 users and let's just say 500-1000 users play every day on real mode then we can imagine how much they gain from the house edge. By the way, what is the ideal house edge for Poker games? should it be 1% since it's an inhouse game?

Honestly speaking, I doubt that there will be 500-1000 users when it comes to real mode game. The prizepool of the freeroll is quite attractive to be missed by those who like free roll tournament. When it comes to cash game or buy-in tournament, the number of participants can be lower than what you expect. We have many examples in this crypto industry where there are many poker sites unable to survive because they got so low interest. About house edge, as mentioned by arallmuus above, the most common used terminology is rake. As an addition, rake is usually few percent taken from the pot (in the cash games).

That is true of course, you can't expect 2500 freeroll users to all pay up, there will be much less and that is alright because it is not a big deal. I understand that some people may want to see thousands on those type of paid big tournaments as well, but it is fine if it doesn't happen just yet.

We need to wait for it and if it works fine then we are going to be fine about it as well, but if we end up with nothing at all then it is going to be an issue and we should of course keep expecting the best from them at all times but sometimes we just need to accept the good they are doing as well. I personally believe that they are doing fine right now, and they have absolutely nothing to worry about neither, they are doing just fine at the moment.

Yeah I understand and agree with this one and I said the same thing, I remember one of the famous sportsbooks on this forum and it was even on the same level as Stake.com provided poker games several years ago but in the end the game was closed, but this time we talk about Stake.com something different is there therefore I wonder if Stake.com can attract more poker players when the real table is activated. Currently around 60k active users play every day if stake could bring in just 1% playing poker then around 500-600 users would be at the table, yeah this is just my assumption but in general most of them play in-house games like the screenshot 19k users play Mines and Dice, Plinko, Limbo 20k users of these 3 games.

It seems they have entered the poker very seriously, $1k free roll tournaments are a big thing in the crypto poker world. I guess $4k per day is not a big deal for Stake, but if they add more (and I think they will) they will have really attractive GTD tournaments. Since they have a lot of ambassadors if they make some deals with famous poker players that can be a big thing.

Many "real" poker players don't play free roll tournaments, they wish to play a "real game". That's why the stake has an opportunity to be a game changer in the poker world. I am somehow positive about that, whatever they did was a big hit.

So when this "promotional" part ends we will see what Stake prepared and how many people will be active. Many will stop playing, but I believe many new ones will start coming.

Yeah Im sick of this freerolls already. Big part of it is because I kept losing in this freerolls lol and yeah I've been playing super agressive since the first hand trying to sneak in as many chips as I could but yeah I kept losing somehow. I lost a hand on the last freerolls, it was A10s vs 910o and 678 miraculously showed up on flop and turn 

Its about time they add some GTD tournaments alongside freerolls, not everyone loves freerolls for sure ! lol

Although there are many stake players who play the original games but it cant be used as reference to predict about the poker game because poker game is pvp poker game which work differently with the other original games. Hopefully I'm wrong and Stake will have many active poker players when the cash game is opened later. Perhaps what they do now by having regular freeroll is the one they can do to gain the interest from players although I think the number of players who want to play real cash game from those who like to play the freeroll will not be more than 50%.

If you are sick with the free tournament, better skip those ~XD. We are waiting for the cash game but don't know when they're deploying those ones on the table. IMO the best way to get the answer is by Eddie during the Weekly Stream. You can ask them.

-snip-

We can compare with other products. Example Coinpoker, they have free roll as well with less reward the player in estimation 400-600 player for free roll meanwhile the cash game tournament mostly just under 100 player even have worst number under 20-50 player. If we see stake, we have around 2500-3000 player each section just take 10% from them at least 200-300 player could be on the table.

I also looking forward for tournament poker with entry around 10-20$, free roll it's kinda hard to be used as practice the reason was simple people doing all-in everytime and just  hoping getting lucky. At least with entry cash game, they will think twice to all in every single turn ~LOL.

A very interesting game from the start, there were not many all-in calls so we could play some nice poker.

I already played couple of these tournaments and I noticed that too. With so many players in this freeroll I was expecting a lot of all-ins from the start, but was surprised that it wasn't the case. I even told my wife "They are playing like good players in normal tournaments! Amazing!"

~ Maybe I could have taken a better place but I had a couple of bad decisions and I ended up trying to bluff and I ran into a set of kings and I was out 3rd.

Are you kidding me, mate? You took the 3rd place in a tournament of like 3,000 participants! I am proud to have once played at the same table with you in Bitcointalk Poker tournaments, and more than once actually! We were playing together at the final table too, remember? Congrats, @iv4n! The 3rd place in this Stake Tournament is amazing achievement.

I'm going to participate in as many of them as possible. Unfortunately, I miss most of them for obvious reasons(no electricity, no internet, stuff like that.)


I did win something good on Stake recently:



Not through poker, but still win is a win.

Monthly bonus for US players has just been released, when the monthly bonus for .com players will be released?
Since we are on 12th now and we are getting closed to weekend, sooner chance will be on 13th or 14th (Friday).
If it will not come within the next 2 days then high likely .com players will receive the monthly bonus next Monday.
Euro 2024 is going to start this weekend so I hope Stake will release the bonus before 15th so players may use the monthly bonus to bet on Euro matches.

[Mahdirakib]

~snip~

Some of us discussed about the monthly bonus date after the release of pre-monthly bonus. We aren't expecting it before the 17th of June. I don't think they will send the monthly bonus earlier because of Euro 2024. Did they mention anything about the Euro 2024 in the monthly bonus of Stake.us?

Stake is still a reputable casino site so i Don't think they can cheat with there customers. i also enjoy stake orginal game like blackjack I think they surf fair cards. Gambling depends on luck be it live games or slots games. So your win loss will depend on your luck. stake is a reputable casino site so you can't blame them for your losses. You have to take responsibility for it. And if you gamble, you have to take this risk. so don't be upset about it.
