Deposit or turnover: two ways to price VIP, and only one of them you control

2026-07-29

BC.Game wants a $25,000 deposit. 1xBet wants a million dollars of betting turnover. Both answer the question "what does VIP cost here", and they are not the same kind of answer.

A deposit is a transfer. You pick the day, you pick the amount, and once it lands it is still your balance. Turnover is a record of how you have played. There is no single payment that produces it, and you cannot see the counter from your side.

The six who price it in deposits

RakeBit $1,000. LEV $2,000. Jetton $2,500. Mostbet $6,000. LuckyBear $10,000. BC.Game from $25,000, with the range running up to $45,000.

Whatever you make of those figures, every one of them is something you can act on today. At LuckyBear the ten thousand switches the status on immediately, with no review step in between.

Two more partners count deposits without belonging in that list. Reels and Qzino both name $5,000, and at both the manager writes to you before any money moves, so the number sorts applicants rather than pricing a purchase.

What a million in turnover costs

1xBet's bar is a million dollars of betting turnover, which measures volume of play. The only way to reach it is to keep playing.

Run the arithmetic at a typical 96% slot return and that million carries an expected cost of roughly forty thousand dollars. That is a model rather than a measurement of your account, and variance will put you on either side of it. The order of magnitude is the point: forty thousand sits inside BC.Game's twenty-five to forty-five thousand range, and a deposit at least arrives as a withdrawable balance.

Parimatch quotes a million a week, which is fifty-two million a year. Their own terms push a status transfer forward as the working route in, and the weekly figure is what remains for anyone with nothing to transfer.

Dragon Money counts a third thing

Twelve thousand dollars over three months is neither of the above. It counts deposits rather than bets, and it counts them across a window.

If you play regularly without moving large sums at once, twelve thousand over a quarter is easier than BC.Game's twenty-five in one go. You cannot hurry it, though. Three months is three months.

Ask the manager whether that window rolls forward or resets, because the two answers add up to different amounts and the public terms do not say which applies.

Where the counter has no number

Melbet and FastPari both price VIP by turnover and publish no figure. Not a high bar and not a low one. Not disclosed, which is what we write on their pages.

Both put the manager ahead of the deposit, so asking costs you a message. Ask what feeds the counter as well as how big it is: slots and sports rarely count at the same rate, and none of our partners publishes that conversion.

Who talks first

The pattern runs against the numbers. Of the six deposit-priced partners, five assign the manager afterwards: LEV, Jetton, Mostbet, LuckyBear, BC.Game. RakeBit is the exception.

The counted thresholds go the other way. Parimatch, Dragon Money, Melbet and FastPari all talk to you before anything gets counted. 1xBet makes you build the volume first, which is a long stretch of play toward terms you have not seen.

Documents split the deposit six a second way, and not by price. Mostbet and BC.Game run full KYC. RakeBit, LEV, Jetton and LuckyBear request nothing on ordinary withdrawals.

The route past both counters

Four partners will open VIP on a status you already hold somewhere else: RakeBit, Qzino, Parimatch and JoyCasino. No deposit, no volume to rebuild.

Bring proof of your level to the first conversation, otherwise it stops on that question and picks up a day later.

Five questions worth a first message

  • Is the threshold counted on deposits or on bets, and over what period
  • If you bet sport, what share of a sports stake reaches the counter
  • Does the window roll forward or reset
  • What is my cashback rate the day the status opens, rather than the "up to" figure
  • What is the daily withdrawal cap at my tier, and does it move

What we have measured, and what we have not

Payout speeds, caps and thresholds on our cards are what each partner states about itself. We have not measured any of them.

One thing we do measure: how long a VIP manager takes to answer an application sent from our form. Reels runs a median of four minutes against a promised hour, across twenty-one applications. Parimatch runs forty-five minutes against a promised thirty, across seventeen. For the other sixteen partners we have three applications or fewer, so there is no figure to publish, only noise.
