It's not random and is based on check-in order and other factors including the class of fare and total fare paid, but the problem right now is that there's conflicting reports on exactly how much was offered, and whether or not they were given the full amount after being involuntarily bumped.
So yes, they could have offered more... but why (from their perspective) when you can legally bump anyway? Though of course I'm sure they'll reconsider this notion going forward.
