Do the bonuses on higher VIP account is still good even if you don’t wager huge amount. I remember reading an article that VIP bonuses needs to hit a certain wagering amount in able to continuously benefit on corresponding rewards.
I’m interested on why someone will still buy high VIP level account if it’s still needs high wagering to enjoy the bonus while the account value itself is expensive already.
Basically wager is still needed to get bonus while VIP level only impacts a few % on bonuses. Sometimes the bonus is not the main reason why they buy VIP account, from several sources that I know they avoid KYC + need account with high reputation so if they place high bets then the sportsbook doesn't suspect anything, imagine if a new account bets $50k - $100k then the security team will check the account. There are also those who buy many accounts because they know the results of the match/match fixing so he needs multiple accounts to place multiple bets and to avoid suspicion. In this forum, you may often see new accounts complaining that their accounts have been suspended well that might be part of them.
It was different few years ago before they changed the system/formula of their bonuses. I am sure most older stake users experienced that they got much better bonuses few years ago regardless on how much they have wagered in specific period of time (weekly/monthly). That was the main reason why people wanted to buy and sell Stake's account few years ago. Sellers used the bonus as the main point to attract potential buyers with something like (you'll get what you spend to buy back within 2-3 monthly bonus + the weekly). While the main reason for buyers was about the bonus too, before the mandatory KYC was implemented.
