I was logged out and my Chips tokens unstaked... something new for me, but I saw many others complaining about this issue! So nothing new I guess... As I can see new features looks cool, but in the past months, a lot of people complained about Chips and their newest changes!
It seems that the chips token are unstaked for inactive accounts. Well considering that most people probably wagered tons at the start of site because wagering requirements for each token was still low then most probably stopped afterward hoping to claim all those dividents without playing, it seems they had to unstake all of those.
I mean its quite inconvenient but all we need is to check on our account couple of days to stake them back though if it is unstaked
So this was the new update all about. Now I know why many players disliked it. It was like this site got stricter a bit but they need to do this for their own good. Maybe they realized that they are getting bigger and many people take advantage of the feature.
This was still a gambling site anyway and not totally a staking site so people's priority must be to play gambling. They can treat the staking part as a kind of a bonus or incentive for wagering. If someone just wants to stake alone then they better do that on a dedicated staking platform, we have lots of them nowadays compared to the number of gambling site which have a staking support on them.
The house gets half of the daily distribution from the vault no matter how many chips are staked.. so just pointing out that having inactive accounts' chips unstaked only benefits all the "active" users of the platform. (their staked chips become a bigger % of the pie). From what I've gathered, all you need to do to stay active is to perform some action on the site once per 7 days, so either by withdrawaling, playing any game, or even unstaking and restaking ur chips counts as staying active.
