Yeah, watched stream today and Eddie had explained how the new weekly calculation works. I think next week's bonus will be higher for slot players while users keep wagering on original games will get slightly less reward due to different house edge %.
In the end Stake realized many users chased wager through In-House games including me the fastest way to level up, is this the reason for change?
But does this only focus on weekly bonuses not including a monthly bonus right? I did not see the announcement mention the monthly related.
If this change will have an impact on the monthly bonus, it must be very profitable 50% is quite tempting.
I understand that you basically pay back your "Weekly" & "Monthly" from the money you lost during your wagering. I have done the math and even if I only "wager" on original games, I still lose more than what I gain from the bonuses.
This move will force people to lose even more money than usual, because the "RTP/Odds" on Slots & Sports betting are crazy lately. I played Slots for a week and I lost everything.... so there are a
huge difference between "wagering" on original Stake games and betting on Slots and Sport betting.
Eddie says, the "Weekly" payment is costing them almost $10 000 000 per week.... but based on the tickets for the "Giveaway" .... people
wager almost $1 Billion per week.....and if they take only 10% of that.... they still have $100 000 000 to spend.
(It is way more than 10%... based on the losses we are seeing on Slots and Sports betting)
