Villento Halloweenies Promotion

[funeral979]

So Villento has this promo going on now that I find a little deceptive, given that they are now accredited.

Basically between Mon-Thur if you wager $2,000-$3,999 on slots you get 20 free spins on Halloweenies.....wager $4,000-$6,999 on slots you get 40 spins, and $7,000+ you get 60 spins.

I was thinking about depositing, but obviously there is a crucial piece of information missing, so on to live chat we go.

Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Lisa'
Lisa: Hi Chris
chris: hello, I asked a question earlier and the support person I spoke with did not know the answer
chris: and would like to know if you could help me
chris: regarding the value of the free spins on your halloween promo
Lisa: Sure, one moment please
Lisa: Thank you for holding, the free spins would vary for each player depending on how much you wager. We have not been informed by the Promotions Department of the value of however, the free spin amounts range as follows 20, 40 and 60 bonus free spins
chris: is the promotions department there?
chris: I would hate to wager over $2000 on slots and find out I got 20 free spins for .20 each
chris: worth four dollars
Lisa: I see that a previous agent has already sent through an enquiry to the Promotions Department who have not given us feedback as yet however I will just follow up for you.
Lisa: One moment please
Lisa: Thank you for holding, I have contacted our Promotions Department but unfortunately they are unable to provide us at support level with access to that information. At this point, all we are aware of is how much you need to wager to to get the free spins
Lisa: However, it is your choice to make should you wish deposit and wager on this game.
Lisa: It's a chance
Lisa: But best of luck to you
chris: Thanks
Lisa: You're most welcome!

Obviously the promotions department knows, but doesn't wish to reveal how cheap the value is.

Oh well, we have seen this song and dance before from MG!

Yes you can bet top dollar that these free spins are on a 1 coin setting, ie 20 cent spins.

IMO this promotion is worth jack squat

LOL, so concidering my luck lately, to wager 2K I need to deposit at least 1K to get $4.- worth of free spins.

Now just see if I can get a loan somewhere...

This clearly falls below the standards expected for an accredited casino, since this is a perfectly valid question, but they are REFUSING to divulge this critical information so that players can make an INFORMED choice as to whether to take part in this promotion or not.

This is worth a PAB, or at least an informal complaint to Max. Casinos must NOT seek to HIDE terms and conditions, and the value of each free spin is CRITICAL information, without which it is impossible to value this promotion given the huge range of possibilities, right from 1c per spin, all the way up to an unlikely $100 per spin.

They clearly have something to hide, and this is probably the fact that this really IS going to be something like 20c per spin.

Some players are bound to wager enough to get some spins even if not directly taking part in this promo, so we WILL find out eventually, and there could be a big storm brewing in November if it seems they have "pulled a stunt" like BelleRock did with a similar promo a while back. You had to deposit & wager to get spins on "Gift Rap". When the spins were awarded, they were ONE line and ONE cent each, and there WAS a storm in the forum, and the promotion gained the nickname "Gift Crap". This also ensured the MGS free spin promotion would forever more be greeted with considerable suspicion by players, which has happened again in this case.

Holy sh*t! Are you serious?!
Thats really beyond lame!

Now I havent got any free spins from Villento for a year or so, but if I remember right, their freespinpromos used to be max. lines/2 coins per line at 0.01 coinsize.

I agree with you it should be clear in the promo T&C's, now we can only guess what exactly the value is.

I am not a happy camper with these folks at all, IMO I think that is a rediculous wagering requirement, just to get a few free spins, they are not doing me any favors with that promotion. Not worth the hassle,. I will stick with other accredited MG casinos. Good luck to those who choose to play this promo.

If it is a US MG, it is not an accredited casino. Just because the real MG's are accredited, we should not assume the US ones are as well. I have asked a rep from VP about this and the question was ignored. They are content to gleen the Accrediting off the real MG.

Remember, the US MG is an entirely different entity and is not accredited. If I am wrong, someone please correct me.

Also, I was given 10 free spins on CasinoshareUS Avalon recently, won a whole $1.35. The real MG's always awarded the player at least $5 to $8 on such free spins. Certainly wasn't worth re-downloading the casino for $1.35.

So just because Villento Mg is accredited - The Villento Usa version is not. I never knew this and now that I do I gonna close acct. I did not think that they were 2 seperate casinos? Are they? So if we play on USA version we are on are own or is it because its accredited here as Villento that both versions are safe? Not playing again until I know the answer to that question.

Thank you that is something I would never have thought of.

When I first downloaded some of the clones just after the migration, they were identified as Microgamming, now they are identified as Elite something or other, Microgamming is being removed from the info we see.

So I have alerted the mods about this as I too want a more concrete answer, but at this point I would say they are not accredited. When I asked the rep for CasinoshareUS in a recent thread, he only thanked the post, but did not answer it.

Now I have no problem with playing them, if I choose, as I have had a withdrawal from CasinoUS and CasinShareUS, no problems, but if there is an issue, then there may be a problem.

So if they are Gleening off the real MG or are stand alone, we in the US need to know.

Never assume anything. The Villento rep hasn't said a a word about this to me. I am not aware of the US version - so no, don't assume it meets standards of an Accredited casino.

Ha anyone PMd the casino rep about this yet?
