Do VIP programs work or just target rich players?
I’ve seen more and more games push VIP programs with tiers, perks, and flashy rewards. But it made me wonder — are these really about rewarding loyal players or just targeting people with deep pockets? It feels like everything is built to hook the biggest spenders, while the rest of us get left behind. This article made me look at it differently: https://theglobalhues.com/vip-players-and-whales-how-high-rollers-shape-the-industry/. Curious what others think.

What bugs me is how these programs are hidden until you spend. You never see the full benefits unless you’re in the “club.” It makes the game feel like a two-tier system — regular players and whales. If you’re not spending a lot, you’ll never even know what you’re missing. I don’t mind incentives, but it should be transparent and fair to all users.
