Direct Answer: Hedging Your Drawdown
Standard casinos offer "Cashback" tied to strict wagering requirements (often x5 to x40). True Lossback Insurance (Liquid Cash) is available only at Tier-1 operators. BitStarz (VIP) managers issue manual "Goodwill Chips" (10-15% of losses) to valuable players after a bad session. Stake automates this process via "Weekly Boosts," which factor in your recent net losses to calculate a cash injection.
Lossback vs. Cashback: Know the Difference
In our VIP ROI Audit, we distinguish between these two drastically different assets:
- Marketing Cashback (Avoid): “Get 10% back!” (But you must wager the refund 40 times). This is a trap to lock your liquidity.
- VIP Lossback (Seek): A “No-Strings-Attached” refund. You can withdraw it immediately or use it to recover positions.
Strategy: The “Ask” Protocol
At hybrid casinos like BitStarz, Lossback is often negotiable.
- The Trigger: If you encounter a significant drawdown (e.g., losing $5,000 in one session), do not deposit again immediately.
- The Action: Contact your VIP Host. Ask for a “Review of recent activity.”
- The Result: Hosts have the discretion to add a 0x Wager Bonus to your account to retain your liquidity.
At Stake, this process is automated. Your “Weekly Bonus” on Saturday will be significantly heavier if you had a negative PnL (Profit and Loss) week, acting as an automatic hedge.
