Official Videoslots presents Battle of Slots!

[steveh35]

For me 4 hours on a 10p game which has a bad bonus round and which I don't take part in on a Sunday afternoon anymore anyway is not going to yield much for spending 4 hours on it so I will not take part, hopefully a full battle weekend will take place the weekend after.

 

[nikantw]

Was the previous SnG battle weekend the last ever SnG battle weekend?

 

[mariafbb]

Was the previous SnG battle weekend the last ever SnG battle weekend?

that's my question too ...

 

[helenakp]

Thanks VS but i'll pass this time

 

[Team.Videoslots]

Hi Everyone,

This was NOT the last SnG battle weekend.

Best regards,
Team Videoslots.

 

[goatwack]

I'm not boycotting the SNG, or protesting. I'm just nowhere near qualifying for them *cough* splutter*

Did you send email to team VS ?! Its getting worse worse and worse I ll pass too.....

 

[SlotGrinder]

Yeh this looks bad .. So I wagered over 1k in last week but that counts for nothing towards qualifying for these battles? And one 4 hour period only ? on 10p game ? I understand maybe we've been spoiled before with the battles but cutting them so much like this will more likely alienate customers than entice them into depositing.

 

[spoo42]

Since xmas day ive wagered around £1500. Non will count towards wagering for these battles, but in the past would have made it easily. I know this is the normal now, and fair enough - but is disappointing such short notice with large wagering amount. But it is what it is now sadly, so good luck to those interested/playing these battles, but it will be the first sng freeroll i miss since joining Vs.

 

[Tirilej]

I think we all need to remember that January is both ours and the casinos worst month. My guess is that are keeping everything as low as possible, but so do we
I just hope no new player believe it's something to deposit for, but if they do they will soon find out that they shouldn't have

 

[Deleted member 43161]

Doesn't look like I'll be taking part either, £9300 wagered this month, apparently, and £400 in lost deposits last week with the last of my deposits made yesterday, none of which counts. Awesome.

 

[IM_SPORTS]

at the end of the day most of us know that they are cutting back with a lot of things and it's no surprise that they are cutting back with teh sit and go weekend now.
just 4 hours of play on a 10 cent game (it is also a pretty bad game)
also adding in the fact they are making us wager 500 euro in that short amount of time.
but then you can also say that this is a bonus to people who are playing on the site.

 

[IM_SPORTS]

them being fined by the gambling commission for such a large amount probably has something to do with it.

 

[shoust]

This isnt the sit n go weekend battle though, its the happy hour one, albeit its only one day instead of 3 this time around and on a Sunday it could be mistaken for a weekend one though

 

[Reelsoffun]

Im not surprised that VS has had to cut down, but I am surprised in the way they are doing these bonus battle days etc, as from the comments its actually starting to sound like its going to make people hold back depositing and wagering until they know when these events are, rather than just depositing and wagering as normal in the fear that its all not counted, which means surely this will slow down peoples depositing, playing, and wagering not increase it, seems the opposite effect of what a casino would want?

 

[mariafbb]

well, I've did my best with my 2x20€ depo today, and I am by far not qualified for the SNG
if the slot would have be a nice one , I would depo more but for that slot nope.
if I can make some FS from battles to finish my wagering then ok,if not whatever

 

[shadow123]

Dunno what is happenning with VS, massive loyal customer base and they are cutting back bit by bit on the benifits.

 

[colinsunderland]

Why the 6.15 freeroll battle starting at 7.00?

 

[SteveBr]

I think that's from when they were having the problems with the Halloween Jack battle last week. The 6.15pm one was cancelled and restarted at 7pm I think. This must be an oversight from that.

 

[Team.Videoslots]

Hi colinsunderland and SteveBr,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, will look into this.

Best regards,
Team Videoslots.

 

[Deleted member 43161]

FYI everyone, the 20.15 battle is going to finish at 21.45.

[Team.Videoslots]

Hi Everyone,

Great catch @ian - It will be 90 minutes today. But we will update this, so next time it will be 120 min.

Best regards,
Team Videoslots.

 

[geordiecolin]

After losing so much at videoslots already since the start of the year I find no incentive in wagering another 500 just to gain my average of 3-4 rewards per hour @ 10p per spin on.

Thats what you said last week?

[Sonict]

I won't be playing in the Sunday 4 hour freeroll event since there is no point in wagering and playing just to get little back in return. I am not expecting it, but hoping that on the weekend of the 26th and 27th, that a freeroll weekend does happen.

 

[Team.Videoslots]

Hi colinsunderland,

We apologise, will make sure it gets updated.

Best regards,
Team Videoslots.

 

[steveh35]

I have just received a 10x on your next 100 spins in the current race, I thought there were no casino races anymore?

 

[Team.Videoslots]

Hello Steveh35.

These Rewards now work to increase your points for the Clash of Spins instead of Casino Race

Best regards,
Team Videoslots.

 

[SteveBr]

I wasn't going to try and meet wagering for Sunday's SNG seeing as it's only 4 hours long and a 10p game, but I managed it all by this morning. It's amazing how quickly it can add up when you have a few good hits.

My biggest Garga ever. I think I need to play this game more.

 

[NeverLucky]

@Team.Videoslots

Hey,
for some reason the Banana Rock battle is being played on 20p instead of the minimum of 10p. Does that mean the spins won will be on 20p aswell?

 

[Team.Videoslots]

Hello Neverlucky,

Unfortunately, the rewards will be in €0.1 but we appreciate you reporting this to us

Best regards,
Team Videoslots.

 

[Scott1baird]

I might get quoted or something but for me personally I think I will give this battle a miss I don't feel the need to deposit again for a while in videoslots seeing how I have stopped recieving even the Tuesday email, the race has stopped so there isn't really any incentives for me there anymore at this time, yes I can deposit and wager £500 easily enough so could anyone else when it comes to it but with how the deposits and wagering is set out the now its too much to ask for your loyal customers who can only deposit low amounts you are starting to look like your only factoring in your highrollers now. This is just my opinion other people will have there's no one is correct or wrong just an opinion. PS still waiting for a reply from that email I sent last week.

 

[Jono777]

Just received the latest SnG e-mail.

All I can say is, I hope his is not the future of Battle Weekends

Crap game, one of my most hated and 2 hours of it I will be in bed, pointless.

Cutback to survive, meet KPI's etc but don't destroy yourselves in the process, PLEASE!

 

[Team.Videoslots]

@Team.Videoslots
Good option would be giving as sng weekends last weekend of the month with wagering 1500-2000 € from 1st of every month. Its not that hard to wager for regular players, also wagers =/= loses.

 

[shadow123]

Correct me if I am wrong but the average loss on £500 wagering is around £25,for that players are getting 4 hours
of 10p battles,whats the point? I am afraid I can make much better use of my time

 

[Harry_BKK]

First battle win in quite some time and on Fruit Warp, which gave a horrific EUR3.41 the last time I had 100 spins

And it was pretty much decided within the first 5 spins. Two bonus rounds, one paying EUR43 and the second EUR5 or thereabouts.

EDIT: slightly better than last time.... 5 bonus rounds and never made it past the second step

At the rate my deposits disappear, it would cost me £200-£250 to even meet the wager, think I will give it a miss

Average RTP is around 96.3% so its more like £18 (edit, as req is in EUR its actually more like £16). You don't only get access to SNG Sunday, but also all daily freerolls for 2 weeks, 12 running per day a total of 168 battles you have access to. Plus the £500 (edit. should be 500 eur not gbp) you do wager you also get Weekend booster on, which lowers the entrance fee with a few pounds more.

Well yes but you can collect maybe 25 rewards if you are lucky (some 125 spins) so just wagering to entry these battles is waste of time.

 

[Dinahnana]

I really think that @Team.Videoslots you should keep the wagering requirements the same time period wise as you always had. I have deposited €100 this week and managed to wager a total of €251 which puts me out of the running for this weekends battle. Having a 500 wagering requirement the week of the battles is just tough for most people who aren't high rollers. I already hate the changing of the cashback to the Clash of the Slots as unless you are having a really good session chances are you aren't going to win anything.

Both of these changes look like they are designed to get people to deposit more and play longer which is a good business model but not good for responsible gambling. People I am sure are depositing more money trying to reach wagering for these events.


I would much rather you charged a 20 fee to participate in the SNG events outright then put such tough restrictions on them.

Well not if you have already qualified for the daily battles. Last time to wager £500 I ended up depositing over £300, people can talk about 'should only cost' all they like, but ultimately, it could cost nothing, you could deposit £20, wager £50000 and withdraw £5000, or you could deposit £300 to wager £500.

And the next one, £500 in 5 days, why not just go all the way, how about for the next one have it as wager £500 in the hour before the battle starts? The way you are making the time to complete the wagering shorter all the time, it won't be long till you get to that stage.

 

[greylady]

The current wagering requirements are probably excluding a massive section of their player base, which in turn means less deposits, yes less people playing the SnG means less spins to hand out to minimise their losses but at the same time there must be a decline in deposits being made and less wagering which must impact on their
profits - this is definitely not a win/win scenario for the player and the casino - it would appear they are merely succeeding in driving people away.

I personally feel there is more to offer at other casino's now and VS may have just unceremoniously fallen from their perch but that is just my opinion.
