Videoslots presents an exclusive MyRTP promotion for Casinomeister members!

Not a valid screenie:

Shame it was 250 spins minimum (in one session). My balance had gone by 120 spins but it was looking great for a lucky loser prize.

Hi Reelsoffun,

That screenshot was valid, as it was posted before 10:00 GMT and was achieved yesterday.

Br,
Team Videoslots.

Yes it was achieved yesterday 11th but after the 10:00 GMT close time? And it wasnt added here until this morning not yesterday as you state, sorry if it sounds like sour grapes but I just want to make sure I lost the comp fairly. :)

Doesn't really seem like an exclusive CM members comp though if you can play when not a member then just join afterwards and post a screenshot :confused:

Yeah was a bit of a kick in the teeth for me seeing as the normal rules would have resulted me being a winner, but hey ho, that my luck LOL, Thanks VS for the comp, congrats to the winners, but its put me off a little participating in future ones if anyone can just join up at last minute and be eligible for CM exclusive comps, after all this is why that rule was there in the first place.

Again congrats the the winners, i will now go and find a slot to take my frustration out on, but it wont be "coins of egypt" it's naff LOL
 
Hi Everyone,

Due to the negative feedback regarding new members joining these promotions, we will add that term back into the T&C's that players have to make 3 posts between a certain date for the next Promotion.

Br,
Team Videoslots.
 
Why I am 100% Grateful for 3rd prize, and I hope this does not sound like sour grapes, I do agree with people who have messaged me saying I should of won, I mean 1 of the winners wasnt even active for 2+ years, and one of them signed up same day they posted. The promo was for casinomeister members only, The 2 winners must of found out about the competition another way. Oh well Malta would of nice. Staying in good old Dudley for me. :laugh::laugh:
 
Sorry @Team.Videoslots but no. Comps are appreciated on the whole but this has been a farce.

No way should a person be allowed to register just for the competition. They even said as much, and you enable them and turn a blind eye. Poor show.

Specify posting or membership criteria before holding a comp, or use discretion at least. These are pretty good prizes and not 20 spins on Berry Burst :rolleyes:

I know VS see people here as 'all the same'. Fact is if you post a competition on Casinomeister then it should mean something, not just in name-only. Allowing any hit & run registree to nab a top prize takes the mick.

Otherwise just post these on Facebook and be done with :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Agreed, I don't see how someone can be a member on here for the rules of the competition if they weren't a member when it started, and, from what I can see from the screenshot, only joined after getting the win (although that could be wrong).

We had the same scenario last year, where a new CM member won a comp and disappeared after that. I guess, unless Ogreme scores another winning screenshot, we will not see him/her either again.

I said at the time, the soon you put out serious money you will have Jim&Johnny crawling our from the dungeons just to take part and miraculously win the comp too. :rolleyes:

It feels like a kick in the face that an active member, who actually contributes to this forum and VS, could have gone on a nice trip to Malta, only to be losing out to somebody who signs up hours before the contest closes, collects the goodies and is instantly on his way back to the dungeons. :oops:

I shall refrain from taking part any further for now. Does not feel like this is something special anymore. Good luck to anyone still taking part.

It doesn't even matter if the winning 'member' goes on to post 3000 messages and stays here for two decades.....other chancers won't be!

With gaping errors on VS' part of course people will do this. If I leave my front door open and leave signposts round my neighbourhood as to when I'll be out, don't colour me surprised when I return to find an 'empty abode' :eek2:

And even worse if VS have permitted this before. Makes the competition moot, and shows Casinomeister to be 'just another' advertizing space for some :cool:

They told me to pass on the message as they were in a hurry packing for Malta!

So the 'Winners' get away with it and that's that is it? Shocking lip-service there

And 3 posts? What does that achieve. Instead of plucking numbers from the air let's start with the basics, like minimum three months' membership for starters.

This is horrible and I haven't even partaken. Nor would I want to after this mess :eek2:

Hello Everyone,

Oh I better wait till tomorrow to maybe play then have a new guy pop in so I can get slapped in the face which I seem to not get away from. OK being sarcastic aside I am not even sure what is going on cause I have not been keeping up to date but so far I have read I am proud of some for doing the right thing and saying something and then the other half of the thread is ugh another problem with a competition feeling.
 
Half the thread is a problem with the competition feeling because there's a problem :cool:

Note how VS (& others) will use their "We can amend the rules at any time" veto but not when actually needed.

I'd be giving the 'winner' a bullet email to say their prize has been voided retroactively, and pass the prizes in order of the other participants. Because, you know, that's the right thing to do.

But that won't happen, more likely scenario us they'll keep things as they were for an easy life :rolleyes:
 
I know VS offer more comps etc than any other casino on here but they do get plenty of traffic to their site as a result - the comps have been pretty shambolic of late and I was on the end of of that but this has to be the worst for a regular contributor to CM, to be done out of the winning package to Malta, by a newbie who merely joined to win and then scarpered.

Shame on you VS!
 
My take on this.

Yes VS made the mistake of running the comp for anyone to win and not regular members. Maybe they just never thought at the time someone would sign up here just to enter and win.

But mistakes happen. Good luck to the winners. Maybe morally wrong but they took advantage of the situation and won a great prize.

But after VS had posted the comp there was nothing they could do about giving a prize to someone that maybe never deserved it. After all it was only a couple of weeks ago they were getting slaughtered for amending competitions after the start. Can't have it both ways.
 
Technically the winning screenshot IS null and void, since the rules state "Only screenshots posted in this thread will be valid for the competition"
The screenshot wasn't actually posted in this thread, a link to where the screenshot was uploaded, was posted in this thread, not the actual screenshot.


PROMOTION TERMS & CONDITIONS;

Player must have an account at Videoslots.com,
To take part you need to have a Casinomeister account.
Only screenshots posted in this thread will be valid for the competition.
Only one prize per week can be claimed.
In case of a tie, the first screenshot posted will be decided as the winner.
This Promotion will end on the 12th of October at 10am GMT.
 
At the end of the day, no matter how I feel I respect that it is VS decision and generosity here.

It is just hard to take when a winner clearly doesn’t play in the spirit of our community and gets such a marvellous prize.

Not to mention he made a couple of bets at just over £8. Hit big then spun the remaining 245 spins at minimum bet to complete the task. So not only a massive prize from here but a nice balance too.

Shows me that this is perhaps why playing honestly for 15 years has made me poorer.

There lies the problem though, the rules are open to interpretation dependent on who reads them and how they opt to interpret them - you are right though by the letter of the law his screenshot should never have been accepted.

I do feel sorry for the team at VS at times though and maybe they should take a leaf out of Dan's book of rules, basic yes but we never had any crossed wires, well not that I recollect.
 
Just thinking about this. not going to say to much on it has i hate disputes. I don't know much about the time he joined and the time he hit but my thinking to it is if he did the 250 spins realised he scored well so did a screen shot then joined here to post it then he was not a member at the time which was against there own T&C.

Im not sure if anything like that was checked anyway TBH, but the fact they couldn't post an actual screenshot due to them being to "new" should have rang alarm bells that it might not be valid with them joining after the comp started.

It also said "To take part you need to have a Casinomeister account." But wasn't made clear if this had to have been active at the time the comp started or just needed one at any point after to claim a prize.

This is why most competitions from companies have a far more extensive list of rules, to cover all these little issues later.

Just how I feel Harry. Glad its not just me that feels like that.

I was half expecting an apology about it from VS today, and maybe 1000 free spins on a game of my choice as a sorry but then i woke up LOL
 
Haha Loving these posts you are all right it does feel like a kick in the teeth but they not going to change winners, imagine joining a site and winning trip to malta and not coming on since yesterday, not taking part with forum or anything, it hurts when you also get beaten by someone who basically manipulated there RTP :laugh:

Or just use the same simple rules Dan did for years with no problems at all :(
The winner had just created the account when he posted the win, as he came up as the latest member, if the games were played before the account here was made (which from the times on the ss it looks like they were) then clearly he wasn't a member as per the rules. Shame Videoslots haven't answered that question.
 
CM sure is a tough crowd!

I agree that this didn't start without hickups. The Malta package winner joined here on Friday just for the comp and most likely because they knew they had a winner in their hands. It's pretty insulting to members here that @Ogreme seems to have no interest to take part in the community and just did a hit and run.

On the other hand, @Team.Videoslots did take note on the feedback and agreed to change the rules for the forthcoming comps. To be fair, since the rules at the start were somewhat ambiguous ("To take part you need to have a Casinomeister account." and "Only screenshots posted in this thread will be valid for the competition."), maybe @Ogreme should have been disqualified. Then again, how would it feel if a similar thing happened to a seasoned CM member (getting disqualified because the rules left room for interpretation)?

But do we need to be so strict towards operators who run CM special comps here? Granted this specialty was diluted here because of the outcome, but still it's pretty awesome these comps are being held on the forum quite regularly.

I remember being in a similar position back in 2004 or 2005 (I think :p) when 32 Red had a members only poker tournament and I didn't qualify to play because I had just joined and didn't have the needed post count to enter. But I stayed and had the chance to enter the next one.:thumbsup:

Minimun account age + modest post count is a good idea. It has worked well in the past and here it was just left out for the reasons @Team.Videoslots stated. Maybe it shouldn't have, but that's water under the bridge now.

We're all human here. Shit happens and mistakes occur.:cool:

It would be excusable, had it been VideoSlots first CM Exclusive promotion. But they've done plenty previously to know what rules to include

I venture a guess. Ogreme heard about the comp at CM, either from a chat in a battle or by chance and then set out to produce the highest possible RTP. Start the game, do one or a few spins at a higher bet, leave it, reload the game etc.etc. Once you hit big at the beginning, you can lower your bet and run the rest of the spins knowing you will end up with a huge RTP.

So clearly, not in the spirit of our community. :oops:

FYI, the last winner where this kind of thing happened, played the SOTS or Wild Turkey (cant remember which slot it was) battle at one line after seeing the VS comp here at CM. Was lucky (have to grant him that) to hit a big win on the 1 line with 25c bet, posted the result and did a runner with the prize, never to be seen again.

Hell, I asked for 3 months membership and / or 30 posts for a AUD50 comp and here we have a prize worth about 2K and there were no preconditions. It is bound to have people taking advantage of it.

If I can make a suggestion team VS

I can see the first prize winner is someone who signed up here for this promotion
the second prize winner is the full member but didn't post anything last two years before this competition
the third prize winner is the newbie, but he/she signed up much before this competition and is very very active member on this forum

So here is my suggestion.
To show you want to make up the mistake you made-this is not exclusive casinommeister competition, this is the competition anyone can join, so it was obviously a mistake from your side to say this is exclusive competition-, why don't you give Malta trip package to the third prize winner too?

I understand you cannot just cancel the prize to the first place winner and give it to the third place winner, so I'm suggesting to give the package to both of them.-I'm pretty sure the second place winner cannot complain-if it is open to everybody he is not the winner anyway, if it is to open to only "active" member, he can't even claim the second place prize, so I guess he is OK with second place prize.

It's just suggestion but I think you need to do something about this instead of just saying "OK, it will be for "active" member only from now on."
 
send the top 3 my way, we'll have them toss on some hockey skates & compete in a Molson two-four recycling race..
Celebrating all things Canadian, they'll race down the ice, a cold one in one hand, dribbling a basketball with the other. Once at the far end of the ice they'll "recycle" their empty bottle in a peach basket, before returning to the open case to grab another cold one and repeat the process, first to "recycle" 8 empties wins.

No double dribbling, no alcohol abuse (spilling of the sacred suds), no hosers eh.

(and while they're busy with that.. you can send me to Malta where I'll be happy to share the game tape)
 
Hi everyone, and thank you VS for this competition.
I'm sorry to see all the negative comments, I don't want to get into an argument here, and as I can understand how the 2nd and 3rd winner feels, let me just post my side of it.'

I have been lurking this forum for quite some time, but never created an account.
I saw this competition and thought it was an excellent moment for me to sign up.
And I've been playing on Videoslots for a long time before this competition happened.

So I first signed up on the forum, and after that I played my spins, not the other way around, you can check this by the time stamps if you don't believe me.

Again, sorry, but I can't actually see that I've broken any rule.

Thank you all and I appreciate you reading my side of it. :)
 
Hello everyone,

We appreciate the feedback and the suggestions you have given here, and we will make sure to update the terms for upcoming promotions to be more focused on the community, but we will not change the winners we previously posted.

Best regards,
Team Videoslots.
