So much benefit as a VIP member, but to rank up is quite costly. Anyway, how much $ wagers to become a platinum member?
If you are starting from zero, you need to wager $250,000 to reach platinum 1. It costs a lot of money indeed, so it is not recommended to play/wager just for levelling up. Play as what we used to play only and let the account ranked up naturally but ofc you can do as you wish. Perhaps you have good strategy to wager more but small chance to lose big. Below is the complete requirements for each level:
Silver: $50,000
Gold: $100,000
Plat1: $250,000
Plat2: $500,000
Plat3: $1,000,000
Plat4: $2,500,000
Plat5: $5,000,000
Plat6: $10,000,000
Diamond: $25,000,000
