Every user is entitled to this and what he hinted is not hidden information, we all know that Stake is currently undergoing KYC overhauling with a $250 bonus attached to it as an encouragement and to show how generous they are.
I haven’t verified my Stake account yet, but when I open it, I see a notification to update. I think I’m part of the directive for Level 2 verification. The only downside? No bonus for me, lol.
Well, I don't know how much this is important to you, but if I were you I would go straight to customer support to inquire why people are receiving the $250 bonus and you are excluded from it. Perhaps, you will automatically receive it when complete the KYC, but I am not sure about that, which is why you should still ask.
Another possibility is that it might be distributed based on your activities on the platform. If the system deems you as so inactive, Stake may not be compelled to include you.
The kyc level 2 verification bonus on stake is not the same amount for all, I know a guy personally who got a $10 offer for his level 2 verification, he did it and got $10 bonus credited to his account, others got $20, $30 $40 and up to $250, I think $10 is the minimum while $250 is the maximum, and the amount a user gets depends solely on his or her contributions to the stake casino..
