Years ago, I did try doing that. Forcing my way to the next VIP level because I was curious about how much bonus I would receive. Upon receiving the bonus, that's when I realized it was not that much. That is when I decided to just simply play games or bet on sports without even thinking about that VIP bar.
I have done this before and I will never try it again because it distorted my risk management structure.
I kept betting more and more to meet certain target in ranks due to the juicy benefits and this made me lose so much.
I keep it cool now and try to maintain my balance within my plans and whenever I meet the wagering requirement for rank up, I'm cool.
If you are winning often, you will more than likely gamble with ease and meet more targets without rushing things.
