So, they didn't send the bonus to those users who should have received it! Stake bonuses are mysterious and their marketing team is strange. I had received an email about Lunar New Year yesterday, but the email was only containing the name of some games to play which have the Lunar New Year (fire) theme. I'm only expecting to get a post-monthly bonus this month.

Same here I received the same email as you without bonus and what @AHOYBRAUSE said is true some users who don't celebrate Chinese New Year received a bonus including our local users so basically this is like for random users. Yeah as usual we can't guess how the marketing team works and you know this week they sent some kind of bonuses for example deposit bonus well, this is the kind of bonus we've been waiting for, but we don't know when it will be our turn. By the way, in this 3rd week we are still waiting for the subscription bonus, they have sent instructions to stay active

Well I believe this bonus may not get to newly signed up user?
I have no bonus on my account, although not quite long I joined the gambling site and I haven't made my first deposit to know if actually I could be among of those who would receive the bonus. I checked my mail and I didn't even get any mail in regards to the bonus as explained here. Does this means that they are sending out the mails at randomly?

That casino is designed to squeeze more money out of its customers. I've been registered since 2017, but it wasn't as much of a rip-off as it is now, where deposits don't last.

That's how casino games work. It's a business where you as a customer always get the bad end of the stick. I have been with stake since 2020. I lost back then, I lost years later, I lost until I self excluded for a while. It is what it is and I don't really complain about that.
The problem I am having is with the bonuses that have been cut to extreme. Now weekly/monthly and so on are basically 20-30% of what they have been in the past, which really is sad. Pair this with broken promises, failed security ( at least 2 data breaches there weren't even acknowledged in time ) and it's fair to say that stake isn't the best site to use anymore. With rising player numbers year after year they could have EASILY afforded to keep the current bonus system, but corporate greed made them go in a different direction and I believe that several players left because of that.

Don’t expect profit in the long run in all casino. It was well explained above and house edge will make sure casino still in profit regardless if some players win.

Casino provides entertainment and it’s a business that doesn’t promise as a source of income.

It’s not a ripoff if you are just losing as basis. You’re just unlucky but it will not be a big deal of you enjoy most of your game.

Every casino is designed for you to want to play at it, and if you are not careful - you can go on above your average on a session

The Lunar New Year email with no bonus attached seems to be sent to all players while the one with bonus seems to be sent randomly. No longer surprising though since Stake used to be and will always be mysterious on their bonuses. We will never know the parameters and we will always keep on guessing based on some information we get on this forum or outside this forum.

If you can use casino with the right, you will not feels squeeze. You realize the risks of losing money. If you use more and more money, yes that will makes you feels squeeze because no guarantee you can wins through casino. You just needs to limits your money in gambling so you don't lose too much and that is a way to prevents the squeezing. Casinos will gives you temptations but if you can takes yourself better, you will not follow but will controls yourself.

Proper session management is what GokuSan needs. Or he will be dissatisfied with any platform, be it Stake or something else.

Hahaha, no wonder there's so much money going into that, giving money to streamers and giving money in exchange for sponsorships.

Did you know that the owner of Stake is the same owner of Kick?

Yes, Stake and Kick are connected. They have the same owners. That's why many Stake streamers and players use Kick.
They can promote Stake on their own platform instead of relying on other streaming sites.
But some people may wonder if Kick's growth is strongly supported by the gambling community. It's an interesting business strategy.

In a tournament, yes, you have to play for a long time, approximately 3 hours, if you want to get some profit. But there's cash games where you can win and leave the table right away. There are a lot of them on Stake, with different buy-ins, and I like to play those too. Thanks for your good wishes. I'd like to with you fun and luck with your blackjack game too.

If you like cash game, let me give you an advise, don't play on stake. They charge higher rake than average online, so you win less and the game is harder to beat.
Especially when you play micro stake the rake is unbeatable. They charge so much, even when winning some hands it's almost impossible to get a profit since the rake is eating up the table funds of all players.
There are far better alternatives out there that won't charge you that much, trust me!

I love playing on Stake, so I think I will continue. You say "they charge higher rake ...", but I'm not sure I know what you are talking about. If you want to eat something exceptionally good, you go to a good restaurant and, yes, they charge a bit more than other joints. But what important for me personally is that I never feel that rake at all. For example, right now I was playing while wrighting this post, a cash game with $10 max buy-in. I paid $10, played for a couple of minutes and stood up with $18.



 As I said, I don't exactly understand, what did I lose?

Well, too bad if you play poker but don't even understand the fundamentals, nothing more to add I guess. A good rake is essential to beat the game. So cute how you won one major setup hand flopping the nuts and now you think you can beat the system, that's actually hilarious. At other sites your pot would have been bigger and your profit would have been higher, because real poker sites charge less commission.
Sit on the table and don't win a hand (or only win mini pots) for 30-60minutes, without even losing an allin or big bet you will see you stack dwindle because of the rake.

Yup, each casino is designed to squeeze people's money. It's a business and not a charity that will make everyone rich and win from time to time. There's an algorithm that's being set on each of it and not only specific to stake. I guess that when you've gambled so much and lost it, the blame always go to the platform and not to ourselves whom the ones that have gambled in the first place.

But that's unfair. The casino didn't force you or compel you to login and feel that you can win free money from them. You did everything yourself even after losing your initial budget, you became more greedy and started chasing your losses till you emptied your bankroll. The casino is there for you to have fun, you have to pay for the entertainment and not where to make profits because that's the bait.

Gamblers who put the blame of their losses on the casino wouldn't learn from their mistakes and learn how to limit their losses because they fail to accept the fact that they're the cause of their losses.

People treating gambling as what should give them profits all the time, it's a bad to view concerning gambling, wherever one is getting entertainment, it is unavoidable to lose money, i don't know why anyone will be seeking entertainment and so much anticipating to make a hell of profits, the aspect of getting little profits back from the casino is what makes gambling exciting over other kind of entertainment, the house is always on top, they must make profits from their business.

Your emotions will work a lot for gambling and as long as you play gambling games, it will give you pleasure. Basically, this is called the pleasure of gambling. Everyone enjoys this pleasure, but everyone's goal is to win and make a profit. Pleasure comes only from emotions. If there was no pleasure from gambling, then no one would go back to gambling despite losing repeatedly. But the pleasure of gambling is not what we normally understand by pleasure. It is the pleasure of dreaming big and expecting to win something big. However, this pleasure does not last long, and if you lose, no one can stay away from gambling for a long time.

Yes, there is no guarantee that it will be sent to new or old users, it is possible that it was sent randomly and we don't know what the main conditions, what is clear is that almost all forum users who are active in this thread not get this bonus even though we know some of them celebrate it. Personally, I rarely get bonuses like this except for regular bonuses such as monthly and subscriptions while other users still get other bonuses from various events and celebrations, yeah sometimes it makes us confused how the marketing team works.

From the very beginning, when casinos and bookies were conceived as we know them today, those who were in the business quickly realized this is not only a game of chances which can potentially bring millions of dollars in profit for the house. This is also a game of psychology and analysis on human behavior, which gets exploited by then house and the administration of casinos/bookies in order to get money for them to keep running.

It is not something which is used specifically by stake or any other big casino on the internet, it is rather a industry standard.

It would be foolish of us to assume casino games are not psychologically designed by their developers to prompt people to continue gambling beyond their initial budget and plans.
