Honestly, if I had to recruit someone to shill my wares I don't think I'd look far beyond Chops
With 3Dice now drowning its sorrows, clutching that photo of them & Chopley at that fun fair booth, they must be wondering just where the love died
But the best part of this allegiance bed-hopping is that it came cheap - the Sniper Elite collection, some rare Hearthstone cards, and of course the signed Theresa May biography!!
In all seriousness though goaty, what do we ultimately want from an online casino?
For me at least, I want depositing and withdrawing to be simple and hassle-free, and stuff like account verification to be quick and straightforward - VS has been fine for me on both counts. I'm sure others have had different experiences but for me, they've been fine. A few years ago when I was playing there a lot more regularly, I had to do a SOW thingy which required a bank statement to be sent to them, which they processed quickly and approved. (Not sure if it was billed as SOW at the time, but I had to send them a bank statement for some reason or another.)
Then I want a decent selection of games, whatever criticisms you might have of VS, it's impossible to argue that they don't have a great selection of games. Worms Reloaded is very hard to find these days, but VS still have it. They've also maintained the Blueprint back catalogue, which has disappeared from most other casinos.
Next I want things to work well from a technical perspective, and again, VS are up there with the best in that regard, and definitely much better than other multi-provider casinos I've played at over the years. I absolutely detest laggy spins, game errors, disconnects, and all that sort of shit, I haven't had a single one of any of those with VS since I've picked up playing there again.
Perks are nice and VS have definitely gone downhill in that regard, but then again so has everywhere else (with the exception of 3Dice who have maintained their excellent VIP structure, regular bonuses, perks at Christmas with free comps and all that sort of thing), I never have anything to do with the battles at VS so can't comment on those. I've been getting a few free spins here and there though which have wager free winnings, and the weekend cashback was better than nothing. I've had a couple of prize wheels too, which again, are better than nothing.
We've also got active reps here at CM (which is more than can be said for some accredited casinos), and my experience with VS support when I've had to contact them over the years, has been fine.
Finally, and I realise this is rather more personal to me, the casino absolutely has to 'home' me correctly as a non-UK player and give me slots with an autoplayer, which is actually a bit of a rarity in my experience, and VS do so. (More comprehensively than Unibet, where it's a bit of a lottery as to whether I get a UK or non-UK version of a slot, not that I play at Unibet now anyway since they stopped accepting my card.)
