The thing is MrSlot I don't even think this is true. I'm not saying that a few perks and cashbacks aren't nice, but are they really going to make up for a reduction in RTP?
(When I stopped playing at VS they'd already nerfed the wheels, which could award as little as 1 free spin. I managed to get a few quid here and there from the Clash of Spins and suchlike, but nothing that would even come close to repairing the damage done by the reduction in RTPs, if I'd have carried on playing.)
Here's a simple quick example, note how a 2% reduction in RTP leads to expected average playtime changing from 2500 spins to 1666 spins, that's a huge reduction. (And we know there are starker examples than that, where VS are running on 93% or even 92% maths models. I'll leave the 50% scratchcard out of this debate.....)
Here's a £20 deposit on a 96% slot played at 20p spins.

And here's a £20 deposit on a 94% slot played at 20p spins.

Stretch that out a little bit to 97% and 92% (examples of which do exist, where VS have a 92% maths model of game running).
Your average spins before bust out reduce from 3333 to 1250.
97% RTP slot.

92% RTP slot.

And one last example, Mystery Reels Megaways, 98.06% at casinos who are running the top RTP, 93.09% at VS.
So on this slot, on average, Videoslots will reduce your playtime from 5154 spins to 1447 spins on a £20 deposit played on 20p spins, so yeah, sure they'll throw you a bone in the form of a few free spins......
