What is actually published
VIP tiers compared
Most operators do not publish their tier thresholds. A comparison table full of inferences would look authoritative and mean nothing.
We looked for published tier thresholds across all nine tracked operators. Most do not publish them, and the ones that publish tier names do not generally publish the turnover required to reach them.
What that tells you
Undisclosed thresholds are a deliberate design. It means tier progression is presented as an achievement rather than as a price, and it means you cannot calculate in advance what a given tier is worth relative to the turnover needed to reach it.
That calculation is exactly the one a serious player should be making, which is presumably why the inputs are not available.
What is published
- Stake runs the deepest documented structure in the market, with named hosts at the upper tiers, rakeback, reloads and level up bonuses. Thresholds are not published.
- Shuffle publishes a tier ladder from Bronze upward with instant rakeback, level up and tier up bonuses.
- BC.Game operates a deep tier ladder with rakeback.
- Duel has no tier ladder in the conventional sense. Rakeback is a published flat rate rather than something you unlock, which is more transparent and removes the progression mechanic entirely.
- Roobet operates activity based tiers with a dedicated support line at the top. Upper tier terms are not published in detail.
How to evaluate a tier offer
- Ask your host or support directly what turnover the next tier requires. Many will tell you even though it is not published.
- Calculate the expected cost of that turnover at the house edge you play against. That is the price of the tier.
- Compare it against the incremental rakeback the tier delivers over your current one.
- If the price exceeds the benefit, which it frequently does, the tier is a marketing structure rather than an offer.
The flat rate case. An operator paying a published flat rakeback with no ladder is offering something you can evaluate in thirty seconds. An operator with eight unlabelled tiers is offering something you cannot evaluate at all. That difference is worth more than most of the numbers involved.
Gambling carries a negative expected return. Over enough bets the house edge wins by design, and no ranking on this site changes that. If it has stopped being a choice, free confidential help exists: Peluuri in Finland, Stödlinjen in Sweden, BZgA in Germany, and GamCare internationally.
