Today stake.us got their monthly bonus so all the .com users here can expect theirs in about 13 or worst case scenario 37 hours. I expected it to come money actually cause there is a chance that in December we will see an early monthly and then a 2nd one on Xmas, just if they follow what they did over the past years. Obviously this might also not happen, but there is a good chance.
Anyway, tomorrow is the 13th so it's not really early and quite in between the usual dates I would say. Better than waiting until next week still.
Agree with you that is the common method they do, although lately I have not been enthusiastic about waiting for this monthly bonus especially since my bonus is lower than a few months ago, I still remember my best monthly bonus 2-3 months ago was around $100 but now it's less than $20 sometimes even only $10-15 so i'm no longer interested in observe it anymore. I'm not complaining, I just noticed there's no base bonus anymore meaning there is nothing special and the same as other casinos especially for monthly bonuses. Why are you more excited to wait for the monthly bonus this time, do you have a wager or just share information?
I have to say that my best monthly bonus period was when I was Platinum IV, it was like guaranteed $100+ monthly bonus no matter how much I wagered as well as how much my PnL stats.
Since I ranked up to Plat V a year ago, I received monthly bonus which is under $100 many times although I wagered like 10-20k in a month.
I cant really remember how much is my lowest monthly bonus since I ranked up to Plat V but I think it was $60 months ago.
As other said, the good old time is already gone, now almost every bonus is depending on our wagering activity and PnL while our rank VIP level is no longer giving significant effect.
