I don't see where this convo is coming from or going. You need to be platinum 2 instead of platinum 1 to get a VIP host simply because stake has a huge influx of players that have come in the last few months and is short staffed. Once we satisfy that demand we will offer lower ranks hosts
.
You can still get awesome service and perks as a bronze VIP or even as a normal player. No doubt about that, @Stunna.
I have never been a VIP player since my bets are always on the low side, but there are lots of attractions to keep me playing on the site, Stake Originals being among them. The perks VIPs are getting don't upset me. On the contrary, I'm glad for my fellow gamblers, who choose to play on the site. And, yeah, I can enjoy the awesome service and some perks too, even being an ordinary player.
I do not know, I mean I have been here for a long time, from the first ever days, and I still do not have any VIP because I have changed some accounts, and I could had bronze even if I didn't, and that is "maybe" as well. So, at the end of the day I can say that I haven't gambled a ton in amount but I did gambled many times, even with faucet money back when that was something possible, today that is not possible anymore because it is not there.
And after all these years of being here, even on first days of primedice, I can say that it is definitely a lot more lucrative for rich people and not so much for poor people, I do not like the way they act towards whales and ignore us, BUT I also get it, I mean they just want whales to be happy because they are the ones that play millions of dollars, why would they care about me? What do I profit them? 20 bucks a month? They can't get a meal of one staff with that, hence I understand their approach.
I completely get what your saying as I was also one who joined stake in the first few months of it's release (not on primedice) and their incentives program they had offered back then has changed alot including their vip player set up.
It use to be at gold so to get reloads but then it changed and I just made it to this vip level when two weeks later they changed it so reloads were not given any longer to those vips until they reached platinum level.
Also just recently they changed it yet again with you needing to be platinum level 2 so to get reloads. And wouldn't have known about this change unless I was on their site and it was mentioned in the sports chat area just casually as if everybody was already aware of the change. Yet I am on the site almost everyday so to claim my reloads which are given hourly or daily depending on the session I request it to by from my vip host.
Talking about the vip hosts given to platinum (it use to be at gold but yet again it was changed so only available to higher leveled vips only) they will have them available to platinum level 2 as well now.
But those who are platinum already will retain their hosts to ask for their reloads and bonuses from (not the weekly boosts or monthly bonuses given) but I have noticed in recent months these have depleted to less than $15 worth in crypto for about the same amount inwhich I have spent on the site per week too.
Seems like almost everything on the platform have been scaling back slowly but most certainly has been.
And if they think the users who have been using the site for so long haven't noticed or creating the excuse that
"It all depends on the price of crypto",
but we certainly are and I have been keeping track of my earnings and wagered amounts since I have started using my account there.
Also, one of my referrals has mentioned to me their support (they talked to live support on something and it was this was mentioned to them directly) told them you can not have more than one account, which from when I started using the site, was allowed to have one to be used as a so called
'bank account' and the other as your active gambling account.
So this was some new news and was suggested to me to not use the lower active account (bet less than 0.01btc on it anyways so does not affect me at all) or it could cause your main account issues down the road.
Which to me is not a viable option in having two separate accounts, which I don't even use much anyways and have stopped logging into it just for this reason of possibly getting it flagged for being connected to my active account at some point.
Just at the beginning so to draw a deposit I had made prior from so to have instant access to those funds for a match which would be starting within minutes and not need to wait on the blockchain so to confirm my deposit to my active gambling account.
