How can I upgrade my VIP level? All Real Money players start as Bronze VIP level. Your VIP level will be upgraded on the first day of each month, determined by the Gold Coins you have accumulated in the past 3 months.
The formulas are:

The total accumulated Gold Coins in the past 3 months multiplied to 100%, 30% and 20%, respectively. For example, for your VIP level upgrade on the 1st of April, the Gold Coins can be used to upgrade the player’s VIP level = (total Accumulated Gold Coins in March*100%) + (total Accumulated Gold Coins in February*30%) + (total Accumulated Gold Coins in January*20%).
- For players who have signed up two months ago:
The total accumulated Gold Coins in the past 2 months multiplied to 100% and 30%.
- For players who have signed up one month ago:
The total accumulated Gold Coins in your entire first month.
