The total weekly bonus from Stake was higher than last few weekly bonus amount. Still, I got only $6 from it. Most of the users were complaining that they got low weekly bonus today. The interesting part is that my rank is platinum III and I have lost deposits of $130 two days ago. This isn't a big loss, but it seems like they have completely removed the base bonus system for the VIP ranks.
Your losses are only one of the factors that are used to calculate your bonus. Eddie said, wagering on original games are counting less now, because people use it to boost their wagering amount.

Also, when did you reach Platinum III? If it was recently, then those rewards for reaching Plat III will also reduce your weekly, because Stake see that as "profits" ...

(I leveled up and my weekly and monthly were lower than what I used to get with a lower rank)
I would guess that if you do not want to bet on original games I would understand, but Eddie should be asking us to bet on the original games even more than the other games, we should be betting a lot more there to get a lot more returns for Stake because in the end we are talking about a situation where it is not going to be the same.
I get that it is not going to be the situation where it is going to end up with a bad result, it is going to be going directly to their own pockets. Think about it, third party games would give stake some return, but also it will be getting some of the money towards third party software owners as well, but with original games we are going to end up getting the money to stake directly instead.
