I am so confused with all this new bonus/VIP structure going on.

Here are my thoughts on this. There are 9 Rivals that are good and one not so much. Seems like each one has a different VIP structure with different criteria for reaching each level. Now here's the problem for me, I can't deposit enough at each one to get any higher than I am now because of lack of funds (LOL) and because of the amount of them. OK, so how do I pick the ones that get my money? I am at Super Platinum level at Pantasia with a 125% bonus and Lord Level at Simon Says (I think) with a 60% bonus. Well, of course, I will deposit at the one/ones where I am a higher VIP already. Which leaves out the other ones where I am bottom level. I will never make top levels at these. I hate dropping some of these casinos but it's just impossible to deposit enough to get anywhere.

Now when they all sent 100% deposit bonuses each week, they all got a little bit from me. Might not be but $25 but they got it.

For the life of me, I can't see where this is going to help the casinos at all.

But, this is just my thoughts on the matter and certainly not a bitch session.

anniemac,
I am shocked... I thought everyone loved all the new stuff
which we have all been asking for. I certainly love the changes.

The casinos are seperate.. they do seperate things
of course. Each casino will do it's own thing.. if they see other
things working for other casinos maybe they change, maybe they do not..

What are you saying? Do you want them all to have the same
bonuses and vip programs? That is not likely to happen
as the casinos are run by different people and companies.

It should be obvious to play where you get the best bonuses smile

Also I would not call this a "new bonus structure"
I would call it GOOD CHANGES

How do a BUNCh of new bonuses and tons of freebies not help the casinos?

Why are you upset? I am thrilled to have multiple
options and bonus and new levels to reach smile

I agree! The bonus are great and having new levels to achieve is awesome. I started with one Rival account and as I started winning a little here and there I added an account at a different one. I alternate deposits between my accounts but of course deposit more frequently at the ones with the bigger bonus. Again if I win I deposit a little more at the others, eventually I will achieve a higher level, if not I'm having fun trying!!!!!!

Also everyone needs to keep perspective on
these VIP programs!! Some have great bonuses and all this
but you should never leave a casino where you win to go
play at another casino where you have a higher "VIP level"
and always loose!! WHO CARES If you can flush and get 3x comps
if you always loose? smile KEEP PERSPECTIVE PEOPLE...

I say this only because it happens to me...
I find myself going to Simon over and over because the super fast pay,
3x comps and flushing and all that. I keep loosing and realized I
had to keep playing all the casinos because that is how I win smile

ALSO: I am going to be gambling for the rest of my life...
by the end I will be super duper big fat VIP everywhere smile

I don't think she is complaining. I believe what she is saying is: is it better to deposit at the ones where she is lower teir (to get better bonuses in the future) or stick with the ones she has already moved up to. With as many Rivals as their is, it is hard to decide where to put your money if you are limited (as I am and I sure most of us are!).

BUT I could be wrong. It happens..LOL!

I know I have that problem. Deposit where I can get moved up or deposit where you are already a VIP or whatever..

That is true.. the complaint is "TOO MANY CHOICES" smile

Really I would deposit based on the given bonus at the time..
If you have $25 take the 100% at the non VIP casino as
opposed to the 50% where you are a sterling VIP..

but that is just my preference.. someone else may like
a lower bonus with more comps or flushing.. it is all personal choice really smile

Thanks, wvguitargirl, you got what I was saying. I'm not bitching at all and believe I said that in my original post. I'm saying that there are too many Rivals and not enough money in my case to go around. They all have great service, they all have the same games, so all being equal, my criteria will be where I get the best of all things and where I am higher up on the totem pole, so to speak.

Everyone has their own opinion and I am glad that all are happy with the new system. I didn't say I wasn't. It's just that for me, some of these casinos will be losing out because X offers better than Y.

Besides this was just my thoughts on this, didn't want to start a big thing over it.

No big deal Anniemac. Maybe when casinos realize that they do lose out when X offers better than Y, they will increase their bonus. After all it is competition that makes us all better!!!!

It is just as you posted... too many bonuses too little
money. Just remember we will all be playing a long time
so by the end we will all be VIPS or whatever.

I guess we can all agree that it is better to have the problem of too many choices and bonus than too little smile
remember a year or so ago we were worried we would have no casinos

I will just say about all this is that I love the new vip levels, and I am sure in the end I will be a High Vip every where and I really don't mind climbing up the VIP ladder as long as I win sometimes, well I would like all the time but you all know about that smile smile

Bonuses, VIP or not, I am having no luck at all at Rivals lately. I usually go through a losing streak than win some and so the cylce goes. But nothing for a looooong time. I've tried the other games I don't normally play but no luck. I can't tell ya the last time I made a withdrawal. I had to finally force myself to stop for awhile. I'm losing way too much!!

Wvguitargirl, been there myself. Sometimes it is better just to take a little breather. I, myself, have cut down on my deposits. I have had some good wins but lately not so much. Besides, it's spring and time to work in the flower beds.
