BTG feature buys no longer in the UK

[deleted_user-20231116]

Would have though VS would have been very quick off the mark to remove the buy games after their 1 million slap on the wrist
but seems they want to be the last to do so, makes you wonder if they are just in it for the money...
or is it just me being cynical

Doesn't matter if they remove it early or in the last minute, as long as it's before the time runs out.

I would appear that VS hasn't got any choice in the matter now.
The games are still showing in the lobby.
But the NYX servers are refusing to connect to any BTG games with a 'buy' option

Guessing all these typo's are due to you being at work on your phone and the boss is about

"Typo's", Jon?

Oops I'm off again, remember the VS thread Jon, remember the VS thread Jon.....

Edit: Ps - 10FS on Starburst to whoever can spot the correction Paul missed earlier

Off right fuck.

VS already have the no feature buy versions, at least Extra Chilli does.
The coin progress is still the same but the Buy button is no longer clickable.

LeoVegas has the same.

Why are the buy bonus buttons disabled for non-UK players? Wtf?

I wasn't initially really bothered by this topic since it doesn't affect me but apparently it does .. I get literally no benefits from UKGC but I still get the negatives?

Add Netbet to the list

Presumably it’s a temporary solution until they can have fixed versions for different jurisdictions. Simpler to disable the buy button until more significant changes are complete.

 

[sufferinsilence]

Seems that the NYX version has disabled the buy feature for every jurisdiction but I can still buy it on the Quickfire version of Extra Chilli.

Another thing: There are some game providers out there *cough* Pragmatic Play *cough* where the turbo spins are so ridiculously fast that the base game is nothing more than a buy a bonus in disguise. Is it OK or that's next in line?

Minimum game time in the UK is 3 seconds so these wont exist in the UK anyway.

really? Pragmatic games can spin instantly for me.

 

[goatwack]

Pragmatic are the worst for fast play, the VS Battles are testament to this. Merely hold down the spacebar for insta-balance destruction, whereby £20 can go in under a couple of minutes on minimum bet.

Nothing about 3-second gaps, but certainly laggy in places, after several spins. Whether that's server-related or some timer effect kicking in, who knows. Who cares

Kong megaways at VS still had a buy earlier, dont know if it still has,final buy gave a good win so gone out on a high.
Tried no buy chilli,lost interest in the game as I thought i would, a few hundred games with no bonus and knowing
if i got one it, i would not want to gamble it and it would end up with 5x if lucky.Was my favorite game ... cheers UKGC, why cant
you keep ******* nose out things you know nothing about

Look at that blocked feature buy!!

Enabling the games again now; white rabbit, book of gods and extra chilli.

Also during the day Blueprint megaways should be back.

The blueprint slots with "buy a feature" option will finally be shown for the load of crap they are.
Unless they somehow make the feature more likely to drop in.
Made sense to make the feature very hard to land when there was a buy option, it would tempt people to buy them, but now that option is gone, and all that is left is a shitty basegame that is bonanza-level hard to land a feature in.

I can think of plenty of games I can spin in under 3 seconds, most the playngo catalogue for a start, pragmatic too.

Might not be UKGC then - might be Alderney or Isle of Man or some other regulator...

 

[Jono777]

Just got an email from every casino I have an account with. along with a huge pat on the back they all gave me £50 NDB

"Why?" you ask

well because you saw it here first about blocking the buy but leaving the game, along with the reduction coins. Could have saved hundreds of posts and many sleepless night's for players

[lotusch]

I wonder will it also change the RTP on those slots?
I mean the ones where the feature buy is now greyed out.

Will the overall RTP settings differ? As it would change the volatility of the slot, as no feature buys available.

 

[Bloatgoat]

The future buy will defenitly have an impact on overall play on that game or slot. Lol. This is stupid.

Sweden possibly?

 

[shadow123]

Think all buy games have gone at VS, tried Chilli again, game seems pointless now,
after 30 mins switched to Red Tigers Jackpot Quest, played dead for 15 mins then dropped £550
on a 60p spin so I am not too unhappy about not being able to buy features today.

It shouldn't as apparently they are completely independent things.
