Well, those gifts are of course for the VIP people who already gamble a lot, it is incentives type of thing to get you gambling more and not a competition or a promotion. If you gamble lets say 200 bitcoins at a place there is a big chance you lose 2 bitcoins (the 1% house edge) and that equals to you spending 15k for the gifts (or at least chance of those gifts) now of course it is a good thing that they are giving back and it is a great way to drop the house edge for whales but I would have preferred if it was for everyone instead of just the whales so we would all have the same chance.
For example, another place is doing a Lambo giveaway and 1 ticket will win it all, sure you can be whale and have many many tickets and a chance to win but even a person with one ticket could win as well, those type of stuff is much more fun for people like me who can't afford VIP status.
I think I prefer a mix of both. You have to be able to reward big whales who wager at your casino,,, especially because they can always choose to gambler at other places so you have to find a way to keep them.
At the same time you want to attract volume from regular players (like me hehe). The lottery system is one very good way. Reward everyone with a chance to win, even 1 ticket can win, that is very big incentive.
Oh and 17.5 BTC on a parlay,,, they call that not big balls in my home, they call it, putting his balls on the road for a car to hit. Nice! I see the guy cashed out for only 4 BTC but still very huge. And he was right on that too, his last selection lost!
, let's see how they will go maintain the service in the coming years.
