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.
No, that's not what they think, and not what they do. They care about low wager players like you and me, otherwise they would set the minimum bet to $1, but we can bet with fractions of a cent, and still have our fun, using their platform. Just like me today, with this win
It made me feel better, because winning with 100x+ is always nice. But what Stake has made from my playing? Well, let's see
The House Edge of Scarab Spin is 2.16%, and I wagered 0.00006688 ETH so
0.00006688 × 0.0216 = 0.000001445
Their profit is $0.0026 in ETH. Not much, huh? And yet I was welcome to play there, and it wasn't like I was given a worse platform or anything for wagering much less than VIPs.
