Well, about a Week ago I started a thread there to determine if people want these Bonus drops with a sucky RTP or if they just want a normal RTP on original games without the "feeding" mode turned on..... and it was deleted. (I started a Poll on Strawpoll to see what people want)
Now, it can be one of two things....
1. They did not want people to know that "feeding" mode is turned on during Bonus drops. (Which is perfectly legal, as long as you show the
correct RTP being used)
or
2. They do not agree with me that "feeding" mode is turned on during Bonus Drops. (I base my observation on tests that has been done by myself and 50+ of my friends that help me test this... we discuss this in our own WhatsApp Stake Group)
I think it would have been better, if a Mod just replied to the thread and then denied that the RTP are altered during Bonus drop periods. (They could then just closed the thread)
In any way.... my experience with Stake has been very good, so things like this does not influence me to not play there. They do a lot other things correctly, so I forgive them...
I'm a long term supporter of stake, however I draw a very clear line between the current individuals who are temporary and make up the ever changing management team, and Stake itself which is essentially the players.
So what is feeding mode? it's when the casino eats players coin?
"Feeding" mode is just a theory at this stage. We suspect that the RTP of the original games are slightly altered before or after money are spend by the Stake marketing team to fund these promotions. (So they UP it a little bit to take back the funds they spend)
Now, this is
not just done by Stake, because we find this at other casinos
with original games too... so I guess this is a "balancing" of the books by the casinos.
Let's make this clear.... casinos are free to do this, but they cannot say they have a fixed House Edge of 1.00% (displayed by the site) but they continuously change that without altering the displayed house edge and showing it to the players.
