Sometimes I understand why many people play in sites where they are very big and get few benefits, the reason is simple, first of all the security offered by the site, this is thanks to its reputation and trust, also in the big casinos they are proud when players win certain amounts, at least when that happens the sites publish it, such is the case of stake.com, bitcasino.io, sportsbet.io, among others, and they do not mind having few profits if they play on these platforms because they know they are playing where the best play and win, I think this is what influences the players the most.
There is definitely a reputation among players in different casinos. When you are not rich enough to be at the top of stake, you search for another place, obviously you need to be rich for everywhere but you need to be rich even a lot more for certain places. This means there are "famous big wagerers" of each casino and that gains them some reputation. They can go about saying "I am third most wagered person in rollbit" and allows them to basically provide something even bigger for themselves in the later stages. It also allows them to get published like you said, gains them a lot of popularity and they can act like influencers.
It is really some sort part of our ego that we are really that pumped whenever the gambling community does recognized your existence as high roller and be popular of that despite of the money you are spending
you do able to get that kind of attention and popularity.
Well its really a expensive kind of act but as a big bettor then you would not mind most of the time.
. This is a small number compared to some other folks in discord channel but I honestly would be willing to sell them off if someone is offering me atleast 2.5x of the floor price. I would keep like two of it and sell three of them for sure. This is my personal opinion on it though
