They already mentioned that users verified will even get bigger prizes in the daily telegram challenge. I personally have mixed opinion about this move.
Benefits
- We won't have abusers who use 10-15 accounts and juice all the bonuses and leave stake with no option but to reduce the bonus for everyone.
- Multi accounting in forum giveaways won't happen now I think.
- Players who verify themselves will get bigger monthly and weekly bonuses I guess so that's good.
Probably Stake will get mixed reaction for this update. But they took this step for the welfare of all real user and gambling community. Beside those benefits Stake also focused on the matter of underaged gambler and accessing from restricted jurisdictions.
Negatives
- I would personally not feel good providing my ID and I would feel bad getting less bonus than others just because I did not send my documents.
- When others will boast their bonuses in chat I might feel hurt and eventually stake might lose some players. ~
Personally I don't like to provide my personal information at any casino. But we have nothing to feel bad for receiving the same bonus amount as before. Stake has given us the opportunity. Now it's upto you, they aren't forcing us to verify identity. So they won't lose any real player.
