For VIP staking, you must set a MEE Spending Cap before making a staking request. If no cap is set, or your existing cap isn’t enough to upgrade your VIP rank, a spending cap approval will be required first.

Some players confuse this approval with the actual staking request, meaning the staking transaction is never submitted.

After approving the spending cap (see screenshot), you must confirm the staking request. Once you press Confirm, your transaction will be processed.
