it will be nice of you to give the counter argument.. because most of these promotions are designed for people to dump more and more money into it. Take the Yggdrasil promotion for instance.. you get points for each accomplishment of the tasks that are set out by them.
This week had 4 objectives on 4 Slots and it was all designed for you to improve on your previous score. Let's say my points were 350 points.... If I reach 250 points on the first Slot, it is impossible to complete the tasks on the 3 other Slots, but the challenge does not give you the option to "exit" and to restart again, you have to complete the 350 points (your previous best) before you can try again.
So you can see that it was designed to get you to wager a lot of money and they know the people chasing this has a lot of money. So the sardines cannot compete with the whales, because it needs a immortal amount of luck very early in the promotion for them to win anything.
Also, affiliates streamers does this with the casinos money and they are not excluded from these competitions.
In any way, casinos does this to make a profit, so you cannot blame them... but it should be designed to give the sardines a bigger chance to win something too.
Whales are risking more than the poorer people and that is the counter argument, at least for me. For example, on a regular "person with highest wager wins" type of competitions, the guy who wagers most will become the guy who risked most as well.
Maybe everyone gambled 100-100k while this guy wagered over a million dollars? That means he may have lost more than anyone else and that is what I think is the reason rich do not get richer, if they are lucky they could win but the reality is that if they are unlucky they will lose more than my salary for 10 years as well, I do not make too much money compared to these people and if they end up losing 100k, that would be more than what I earned in the last 10 years for example, and they are risking that amount to win it. Sometimes rich do get richer, and sometimes rich gets a lot more poorer than we could ever dream of.
