You are still lucky to be in Platinum 2 while me and some other users are still on Platinum 1 for the last 5 months
My VIP Progress is still 46% need around $250k-300k wagered to reach Platinum 2 and I'm not too focused on chasing the VIP level
Because Stake has removed some important features in Platinum 2 so I'm back to being a normal gambler.
The number of higher rank platinum user has increased significantly at Stake as they have successfully attracted a huge amount of gamblers through various partnership program. It created a lot of pressure to their VIP host. They have removed the VIP host feature from lower level platinum rank to reduce the load. Currently I'm platinum two at Stake and I have reached 44% towards the platinum three rank. It will never be ideal to do wager for next VIP rank if you are more than 10% away. Many new users reaching platinum rank everyday at Stake.
