A winning streak bonus makes players quit the moment a match goes badly

A bonus for winning several matches in a row is exciting, until the player sees the match is lost and simply leaves to protect the streak. That ruins the game for their team. Here is how to build the streak so quitting is never the clever move and one loss does not feel like the end.

Why this works

People do what the rules pay for. A streak that survives quitting teaches players to quit losing games, so leaving must always be worse than losing, while a loss that only halves the streak keeps one bad game from feeling like a punishment.

When not to use it

Skip it in a game meant to be gentle, where losing should cost nothing and nobody should feel pressure to keep a chain alive. Streaks can make people play tired or upset; there reward steady, calm play instead.
