Pff, this was clearly sponsored money.
And the "giveaway" was an obvious joke, selected people from mostly Canada. I wonder how these people were "chosen", most likely friends or whatever. This is just another sham to collect private data (phone number) and nothing else.
Just like the "make level 2 verification and you get 15% more bonus". Where are the 15% now? Gone with the wind, just like any other promise from stake.
Stake forum had a lot of interesting remarks about that.
If you don't like it, then you can take it off at any time. Don't pretend you have the same amount as what was at stake in the promotion. For me we just listen and focus on the amount that Drake deposited. What is wrong with it? Isn't this part of the promotion and things related to data collection, no one is forcing you to give it if you don't want to play.
Stake.com and Drake partnership has been around for a long time, even before that, Drake has been playing there for a long time.
I don't miss some of the comments that seem disbelieving, maybe they're bots that stepped in on purpose or part of people who don't like Stake.com big promotion.
From a stake paid guy in the forum I expect no other nonsense. Also, the drake partnership is running a long time huh, yeah since MARCH OF THIS YEAR.
You should think a long time before writing such bullshit.
