That’s interesting to know and I didn’t realize it but now it makes sense. In many of the Stake threads, posters with Stake signatures keep repeating what another Stake person just said.
Yeah, that's a problem you can see with low-quality members irrespective of which campaign they participate in if there is no proper quality control. As you know, Stake has a big budget for advertising, and it seems like visibility has priority over quality. Despite that, the quality (or lack of it) of a signature campaign can't be used to assess the quality of said casino. Not many people that I know have had issues with Stake.
I agree and definitely don't consider advertising when ranking a book. Stake's still one of the top books. My only concern with them is their KYC policy. I don't think there's anything nefarious with their KYC policies but their KYC checks have to be done much faster. A few more long holds will lead to a drop.
