How much rating do you get per win in rapid?

My rapid rating only goes up about 7-10 every win I get, my blitz and bullet on the other hand go up around 30 rating per win. Am I not getting as much as I'm supposed to be getting or is that how its supposed to be?

That's how it's supposed to work. 

There is a statistical part of the ratings formula that looks at how active you are.  When you are more active, your rating gets more accurate and changes more slowly.

If you are new or have been inactive, your rating will move around more until it gets set.

it takes a couple of games to eventual go to a base stat of 16- so 8 per win, 8 per loss, or 9 per win, and 7 per loss depending on the opponent rating
