Videoslots Bonus

I made a video about the Videoslots bonus structure back in July.

I've actually got a 100% up to £200 bonus offer sat on my VS account at the moment (it expires tonight), I haven't bothered depositing to claim it.

Also, because of the way VS taper their wagering contribution in an incredibly granular fashion, you can really hurt yourself on the wagering if you play any slots with an RTP of higher than 96%. (I've also covered that in a video on the channel.)

Skip to 2m10s for the specific talk about the bonus.

I have no symphaty for people not reading the rules and then going into an online forum to smear a reputable casino.[/QUOTE]

Do you work for or have some sort of affiliation with VS as you seem very defensive of them for some reason?

I’ve already said that clearly it’s my fault for not reading the T&C’s carefully enough (don’t worry I certainly will not make that mistake again). However, I have not tried to smear anyone, simply came here to ask a question / state my point!

I thought that was the whole point of a forum?

Excellent, informative video. Wish I’d seen it earlier. Thanks for sharing.

No I am not affiliated. Thought you would pick up on that. :rolleyes:

You mentioned repeatedly: "VS not good, will play elsewhere." etc etc. as if you want to round up people behind you. And you kept going on about even after you were given advice. That is not what we do here on CM when it comes to reputable casinos.

As for your LeoVegas - check the thread how they treated some high rollers by delaying payments and blocking accounts.

At the end of the day, no casino is perfect for everyone.
 
Your fine, its just 80% of members on here think they rule the world and always slam new members, which is why most new people don't post more than once anymore so its just the same people talking back and forth ..like facebook actually. Your new so welcome, you will see only the top few are allowed opinions here.

Its not the case that the VS offer itself is bad, they just dont do a good enough job of explaining it outside of the T&C's. I fear they might be losing quite alot of people because of it.

VS is otherwise an excellent casino!
 
In that case I apologise, my intention is certainly not to smear. I have had no problem with VS to date. In fact I’ve been very impressed with their speed of payout.

As I said lesson learnt. Maybe not being as experienced as others I was a little naive in expecting a 200% bonus to equate to 200% bonus funds to play with. Sadly not the case so I was a little disappointed but I do agree it’s my own fault for not reading T&C’s properly.

Anyway, I think I’ll be swerving VS bonuses from now on.

As for Leo Vegas, never had any prob with them other than they used to only pay out in 4K increments which meant having to be restrained if you needed to make a large withdrawal. And always had great bonuses which FOR ME were far more transparent.

Anyway enjoy your Sunday!

No worries. We just are rather protective when it comes to the good casinos out there.

Nobody likes the bonus rules at VS, that is why we rarely take them.

And yes, a very warm welcome to CM. :)

That is not true. I have read a lot of post written by newbies to say thank you for the help they got from other members here.
And as far as I know all the different opinions are allowed on this forum as long as you don't insult other members.
Sometimes quite heated conversation going here, because a few members have a different thoughts on some matter, but I never heard only top few are allowed to have an opinion.

I'm far away from so called "Top few" since I don't post much, but I have posted a few times against so called "top few"'s opinion, never been slammed for that.

If you play regularly at VS, I see no reason why not to take the bonus as you can withdraw your paid out bonus plus winnings anytime you want?
This mean that you basically play with 100% RTP during an active bonus.

Indeed, if you're playing at VS anyway then you'd absolutely take the bonus for when you're playing as part of your normal cycle.

However, a lot of folks equate a bonus with having more funds upfront to play with, not a slow trickle of money appearing back in their account every time they hit a wagering milestone. (And potentially having to redeposit multiple times to unlock the full bonus, at which point it's really stopped feeling like a 'bonus' at all.)

I also feel disincentivised by the RTP tapering that they do, I understand it succeeds insofar as all slots are allowed when playing on a bonus, but psychologically it feels really bad to know that you're only accomplishing 75% wagering contribution a 97% RTP slot.

Well the value of the game play and bonus remain the same regardless of which game you select. Selecting a game with 95% will contribute 125% instead however you have lower your chance to win. Selecting a game of 98% will give you higher chance to win but earn bonus slower. So you as a player dont need to worry of which game you play, because you know that the value of the gameplay with the bonus will remain the same regardless of your selection.
 
Have a lot of respect for Videoslots from a business point of view, they basically manage to retain players and recruit new ones by provididng very little indeed in the way of incentives.

And they incentives that they do have - like the races and level up achievements - are all very smoke and mirrors when you actually scratch the service to what is really being rewarded for the level of play.l done.

And yet people still play there. And we still see the regular posts of “i deposited 1000s yet received only 15 euros in rewards” etc”.

Amazing.
 
The VS bonus structure is very poor but some people will like it and some don't.
I have tried it once and did not succeed obviously as I am a bad bonus player as I hardly ever play with one.
Could have redeposit to clear it but I do not see any advantage in that.

That said I like the weekly cashback and race which always leave me with some funds every week. And those are wager free!

Got €35.61 this Friday and converted into a nice small profit and cashed €150.00

But whats there to like about it? Its high wagering, incremental and they are even mean enough to deviate on the rtps for the contributions.

Its hilarious when you think about it. I bet their directors are pissing themselves all the way to the bank.
 
Bonus free play, there is nowhere better that VS (well certainly for low rollers/small budget)

Yes, the "rewards" aren't great but I cannot think of anywhere else that will give you twice weekly "free little top up's" and daily chances to win wager free FS, also on those luckier days, can be physically in my pocket in less than an hour if I CBA to go and get it :p

On top of all this, bit of a back ache going on and had some co-codamol but got nearly 70 wager free rewards for the efforts all at no cost cos my budget's done until 5th Oct, all good!

People defend them because they are a well trusted respected casino.

They retain players simply because it is one of the best casinos out there, since i joined i have ditched a lot of casinos that gave me sod all.

Reel race, weekend booster, wager free spins, fast withdrawals, free roll battles, a rep here for direct issues, its a no brainer for me, despite the bonus is not great.

Someone mentioned its all smoke and mirrors, but TBH i feel that every other casino is that too and some bonuses are even more shocking.
 
For people (e.g. me) who don't like bonuses there is no better place than VS or Rizk. Simply, because you still get quite a good chunk on free stuff, be it cashback, free spins, races etc, all wager free. No ifs, no buts, no coconuts.

All simple and straightforward.

Hence, if you look for bonuses than VS is not really the place.
 
VS- terrible Welcome Bonus structure, I assume their normal bonuses also work incrementally, I've rarely had them.

My initial deposit many moons ago was also roundly met with a hearty ' :what: ' but I've soon come to realize that they excel in pretty much everything else, and are second to none in terms of general lowroller perks & rewards.

Perhaps the sole reason the bonus release is so tight, it balances out other aspects of their site :cool:
