The annoying part is that most of the bonus codes are worth $1, $2 or $3 at Stake. A user need to have around $15k to $20k wager in the last 7 days to be eligible for all the bonus drops.
Yeah drop codes are no longer worth for hunting especially since more and more competitors are using bots and the code value also continues to decrease
Not sure if the Stake team noticed this or planning an update moreover they think this is just for fun/side bonus.
meaning you get $0, I wont spend my time or effort catching $1 codes and wager $10k for it
Logically, no user would want to take such a risk just for $1, $2 or $5 obviously it can't cover the losses, I'm sure they just consider it a side bonus
Unless they are chasing a new VIP level with low budget then it makes more sense at least to collect free wager. I have practiced this method and work for low VIP levels Bronze - Gold.
