Vip gold bonus was $100 for me as well, it is standart and reward doubles after gold rank. Regarding additional bonus, it is based on account's last 7 day activity if you lost more than 1% of total wager it gets bigger. I have seen bronze account gets $300 recent gameplay bonus, probably he lost all in single bet then got this rank.
Hmm your explanation seems more reasonable because I have also heard that Stake has implemented an extra bonus formula for those who lose more
At first I thought that the recent gameplay bonus was taken from the highest wins

therefore, when my progress leaves 1% then I increase the amount of my bet and hope to get something big and in fact this formula is wrong.
Yeah, you get more bonus rewards if you lose more in the last 7 days 😄
I prefer to be in profit and get less bonus than 10% of recent losses that been applied in many cases. Plinko is awesome option to wager and leave session in profit
if you are lucky btw. Well, adding "if you are lucky btw" at the end of your statement make plinko to auto automatically the same as every other game, as I know every in-house games are all luck based, you need luck to win, but personally, I've been looking for one that winning would be alot easier.
So when I read your last sentence about plinko, I was already making up my mind to go try plinko but your ending statement just shows that the game is just the same as others

..
@seleme this is interesting when did this formula go live, because I could consider depositing some money and since Im having a crazy luck of losing my bets recently so it wouldnt hurt me to recover some bonus back. Furthermore I liked Plinko initially when I played it, but as I played more I realised that I wasnt making much from it so I guess one needs to try it and see if it works cause that game is really fun and definitely a one time try in my opinion.
It becomes a case of "if you cant beat the losers, you join them, at least, to enjoy some bonus"

, anyways, it worth a try, I am definitely going to try this game out during the week, it will be my first time of ever playing plinko, so i am hoping that luck locates me, but even if it didn't, i will just have fun playing the game, And knowing that the more i lose, the more bonus i am likely to receive is even more encouraging, in the end, the bonus can at least, cover some part of the loss even though I don't think it will be up to 50 percent, but whatever percentage is still better than nothing at all.
