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.
Stake team had shared some bonus code on telegram with only $2.5k wager during the March month of this year. But there was level 2 verification requirement in order to claim those bonus codes. They had also shared bonus code with $5k wagering requirement during the Christmas celebration of 2022. Where the bonus drop has at least $10k wagering requirement since last few months. Stake has grown so fast and reached so high, there will be nothing to surprise if the lowest wagering requirement become $12k to $15k in 2024.
You are completely right and I totally agree wit you, if we watch it closely, we will discover that the more the casino is growing in terms of user base, the more the wager requirement for bonuses and promotions increases.
And for me, I personally see this as a normal thing for them to do, since if they leave the wager requirements to claim a bonus too low, such bonus offers will be prone to abuse, as there will be way too many claimers, and to reduce the chances of such, increasing the wager requirements as user base increases is the ideal option.
Though, I am still saddened by the fact that a time may come when non high rollers won't be entitled to any bonus again, since their total wager will be too low for them to qualify to claim any bonus, but I personally trust that when that time comes, stake may decide to create some thing out for their non high rollers.
@Fivestar4everMVP I feel that it’s a step in the right direction because they’re expanding at a rapid pace and if majority of their user base love to wager big then it’s a well calculated move in my personal opinion. Lastly while this may effect small gamblers but I’m sure that they’ll find a way to please them too because they have an experienced management in place hence I’m not worried at all.
