Why Playio is #4 and not #1 on welcome bonus
The composite model gives higher scores to bonuses with these features:
- Cashout cap absent or very high: Playio's 10x loses to the 20-25-no_cap of top 3
- Long validity: Playio's 10 days loses to 30+ days of top consolidated brands
- Wagering 30x or below: Playio's 35x is medium-high
Where Playio beats the top 3:
- Unique Bonus Crab (#1 in segment) — free mini-game no one else offers
- 100% slot contribution — some top brands use 80-90% for specific slots
- Free spins (200) — above top 3 in raw number
