The minimum requirement for most of the drops are above $10 000 now, so I think Stake are slow cooking us for higher wager requirements in 2024. I have just watched Steve's stream and the wager requirement was set at $11 000 ...where it usually are set at $10 000. (slowly creeping higher and higher)
We saw him doing a stream session, where they gave away almost $300 000 .... so I am thinking that the house edge will be set at 90% for the house until January 2024.
I also watch the stream, the whole stream. I think you focus on negative side. There are also 9$ to 11$ bonus drop that only 3K - 4K wagered requirements. The telegram bonus drop code that one is really for high roller and i think that is the you should mentioned since that codes required 10K wager. I really enjoyed steve stream because of the low wagered requirements and I managed to claim those bonus drop that only required 3.5K$ wager requirements.
Also the bonus buy was increased to 4K$ compared to last month but last year when it was December they tend to give 5K for bonus buy.

I never watched any stream from Stake but saying that 3500$ is a low wagering requirement is also a stretch lol. I know it is different for everyone, but I am a small player and will never reach that kind of wagering requirement.
