There could also be a reason why they received it and com did not. They want to increase the number of players on the US site. So this can also be a move by their marketing team to increase exposure of their bonuses during these national holidays when their customers have a day off and can spend that time on their casino.
I also assume management thinks the com site has maximized the number of customers they can achieve who actually stay active.
IMO, US site is being there just because the GEO blocked.
Since we all know, US having different laws and kinda strict. Thats why they need somehow build those with Image Social Games not about gambling while we all know is always about gambling.
The prirority is always on .com, US is being there is because the GEO law/blocked.
US has different and strict laws but they don't want to miss one of the big sports betting market so stake managed to have a legitimate site for US players too. I believe it is different site entirely not like a mirror ones so they might have different promotions and everything else compared to global site.
It is not a mirror, that is for sure. Stake US is supposed to be only used by citizens and residents of the United States, as having an online casinos in the United States implies to comply with a completely different scope of regulations.
It is similar to what happened with Binance (global) they were not allowed to offer their trading and financial services to people within the United States, so CZ had to found a completely different child company and branch, Binance (US), with more oversight over their tokens and markets, in order to keep regulators and lawmakers at bay. Also, It is stricter KYC/AML in the USA version of Binance.
If one of us moved to the USA, we would need to switch from the global version of Stake to the USA version in order to continue to have access to their gambling services.
