Recently I have been finding that slots bonuses are costing routinely over 500x sometimes over 1000x to hit. These same bonuses would cost 100x to buy. Its not a one off but constantly happening. Anyone else experiencing the same. Seriouly considering giving up slots. Wheres the fun in paying 500x to hit a 30x bonus.
Be careful with Bonuses!
It is crucial that you understand and agree to the terms and conditions of any bonus that you accept. Most of the complaints that come through our arbitration service are bonus related; it would be safe to say that there are tens of thousands of players who have never complained because they realized after the fact that they did not understand or had never read the terms. Nothing in a casino is free – so whenever you see “free” being used, there are stipulations. It is important for you to understand that.
Please check out our Bonus Section that lists the offers given by our Accredited Casinos. No deposit bonuses, welcome bonuses (AKA sign up bonuses [SUBs]), exclusive bonuses, reload bonuses, free spin bonuses...all this and more!

UK slotting is a miserable experience. No bonus buys, no feature spinning, no autoplay and much lower RTP compared to other countries.
You would think because UK slotting is so gimped, casinos would at least run their sites with higher RTPs, but nope, lets suck every deposit as quickly as possible.

I sink a maximum of 50x into any one slot I play in a session (no exceptions) and normally leave if I get a bonus beforehand. I get my fair share of bonuses using this method.All of them apart from the ones Lemon and justdoit play

Absolutely! There is 100% something amiss with UK slotting and has been for sometime. My gameplay over the past 2 weeks has been shocking, absolutely shocking. I’ve had bad runs and plenty of them but nothing even remotely close to the filth I’ve experienced of late.
Betway. Absolutely horrific, although I have some decent wins in the past.
Grosvenor. Atrocious and are definitely running a gimped version of Bonanza.
888. Dreadful too and they don’t have Bonanza.
Mr Vegas. What can I say about this Casino that I haven’t said before. Absolutely the worst Casino I have ever played at by a distance…..and I’ve played at some shitholes. Again, running gimped slots that don’t pay anywhere near what it says on the tin. For any newcomers, avoid like the plague. I kept thinking, my rtp will correct itself. Will it bollox, it gets worse by the day.
If you're consistently seeing bonuses take 500x or more to land, it might be worth switching to lower-volatility games or checking if the slot provider has adjusted the mechanics.
You're not alone in feeling frustrated—slots should be fun, not draining. Maybe take a break?

I noticed this back in 2023 and more so since around summer 2024. I believe the strict regulations on Uk gambling have affected the casinos profits. i.e KYC and Deposit Limits have restricted a lot of their customers. Therefore to balance that affect they have re-programmed their software.
It happens in what are supposed to be low volatility slots as well.

You are simply experiencing what most UK slots players are going through since the (largely) nonsensical UKGC clampdown on players. Its obvious slots have been gimped somehow and those glorious days of 96-98% RTP regular games are gone. Treat them like a lost love,with fond memories but knowing they will never return!
@snorky510238 out of interest, do you frequent any max RTP crypto casinos? If so, interested to know if your experiences are any different compared to UK casinos?

No, I don’t play there. I was tempted to give it a whirl but with all the crap going on nowadays, it’s easier to just pack in conline gambling.

Well, I can answer this with full clarity. Below is a screenshot of a bonus game on US site black chip poker casino, crypto deposits. Lo and behold, I hit far bigger than I have in the majority of UK online casinos, within the space of 5 minutes. Game was wild mega bunny, have had some big wins off it over time.
