How often do you keep casino tab open just because there might be a rain coming soon?

I had it open when I am playing on the platform but it is not because of the rain but because I always wanted to see what other players are discussing.
Its usually a few cents or maybe dollar in some lucky cases but somehow you end up checking chat every 10 mins... that's it, you are on the hook. are these actually 'generous' rewards for community or just another clever way to keep people on the site longer?
It is one of the clever way to keep the chat alive. Most rain rewards go to people that send messages in the chatroom.
cause lets be honest, the longer you sit there watching other people play the more tempting it gets to place another bet yourself...
Well, it does have some influence, especially when someone from the chatroom gives a link to their successful bet and how much they won.
And another layer question - do you actually enjoy hanging out in chats with others or are you just waiting for the next free drop?
Sometimes, when there is really an interesting topic the people in the chatroom are discussing.
