This is a current issue in the protocol, it’s why PTIP-24 happened, which is only the first phase of trying to find a solution for the Whale’s winning so frequently. It’s been a struggle historically for the protocol to balance getting and retaining big depositors to increase the prizes from their interest and make winning attainable for smaller depositors. A second phase is in the works, and there’s other discussions being had where the protocol could move some POOL drip to sponsorship since many of the Whales are farming POOL as that is more profitable for them that winning the prize.
We’re working on it, it’s just a slower than desired and calculated approach to maintain a healthy protocol.
