I feel like it is quite tiny amount to be able to chat, people here are spending tens of thousands of dollars on gambling, in reality use just few hundred at most, the reason for that is that people do not go all in and put all their money on the line with one bet, they spend like 1% of their bankroll and just continue to gamble that way.
Its not much if you play casually on the site but if someone create an account with the purposes of trolling, begging for money or even try to get some dust amount from the rainbot etc then that would means something . Its definitely not a perfect way to combat trolls but atleast given the idea that you need to wager some money to chat then lose few bucks in the process of wagering , that would discourage some people to make multiple account for trolling purposes or such
with 1% house edge , you should lose $5 if you wager $500 but probably around $5-$10 though
