Looks like you guys had a good time! Been a bit absent these last few weeks even on UFC betting where I've been the most active, but look forward to getting some game on again in the new year, eventually, anyway!

Really need Watford to up their game for the 2nd half of the year, against all Liverpool rivals. Like, really =D

Stake odds vs bet365 .

Amazing how bad stake's odds at sports are.



Also, what kind of odds are this?? team A 1,5 vs team B 2.06, just WOW.

Well what chance do players have when 1 "player" "joined" 5 days ago and "wagered" 300.000.000$ , thats 300 million, in 5 days. So he got 300000 tickets.

5 days, 300 million wager? Yeah right. Who is supposed to believe that? And the race also goes to him the end of the month, stake saved some money to let a house bot win all the mayor stuff.

Maybe next time mate, I had 40s tickets IIRC for the 1 million raffle and I did not hope anything as I know the chance is too small for me.
I checked the list but I do not see a familiar name that identical to bitcointalk username so maybe you are right that there is no one from us won it.
Anyway, I have to say congratulation to all the winners, enjoy it the nice prize and hope it will be a nice present for in Christmas day.

First of all, congrats to all the winners of the Million Dollar raffle and lucky winners who were sent $1000 for free.

I am a bit confused why the names of the winners are hardly ever heard ($1k) and I'm saying this because I chat a lot in English and sports rooms and I can't recognize any name from the winners apart from Singpays. I think stake needs to find a way to do this more transparently, and no I'm not accusing them at all.

The only bad part about the raffle is that stake must NOT allow the same player to win multiple times because it kills any chance for smaller players. There's a race that only pays big to the top wagerers and now even the raffles are designed as such.

These big type of stuff are very important to all of crypto world. Not because it is just a huge amount, that's definitely a great thing but the reality is that we are talking about something that is also rare in the crypto world and can attract people from the fiat world as well. I am not saying that we should do see a huge number of increase in bitcoin price, or a lot of people suddenly joining in millions but it is still a big thing. Imagine you are a person who never invested into crypto ever before, but you are uncertain and want to maybe give it a chance, you see some place giving out 1+ million in giveaway and wouldn't that help you make a decision? It certainly would do that for me.

Luck on christmas day is still here I only played some original games while increasing the wager + VIP then someone came to make rains about $3000
I'm one of the lucky ones to get rains $44 yes he spent $450 for one rain even the most rains is $92 per user looks like he hit something big 

That's awesome, because these rains were received by lucky ones. More the active participation on chat and forum activities increase the chance of receiving bigger tips and better rewards. I still remember the initial days of my gambling on Stake, where I was with big winnings. More users requested for tips and I ignored them. Later I felt bad not giving them, because I lost everything in a short.

Do you know the rules to getting rain?

Today over more than a week, what a crazy day for me during this month. My bet size increase, but get a good result for my section. I playing 4x time section with around 40-50 mins gameplay every section.



Killing on the blackjack games, my next monthly bonus will be my highest ATH bonus. All withdraw are really smooth, without kyc and fast. Really love playing on stake no need to worry at all.

This is quite true, it is definitely something that attracts people out of crypto world as well. Considering how Stake has partnerships with Watford and UFC, I am pretty sure there are tons of people who didn't even know it was a crypto casino and wanted to check and they googled it probably. When they first came in here, the first thing they see is a million dollars giveaway, in fact it is 2+ million total but still it is a lot of money. Sure they will see it is crypto and if they want to leave they will leave but at the same time it may cause some people to get into crypto as well.

So, I agree that Stake is doing something not just great for them but great for the whole crypto world. All those people who get involved could spend more than 2+ million dollars all over crypto world, invest, trade, stake and even gamble obviously. So, it is definitely a great thing for all of us and not just stake.
