This is my run for the last 3 months since my last cashout, every deposit I have taken a bonus
and I play sensible stakes, 0.75 - 1.50 perhaps a few £2.00 if the balance gets high enough (rare)
I always cashout if I beat the wagering, so that's 21 deposits in a row without beating the wagering
the highest I got was like £450 and yep the usual happened, any slot you touch turns
stone cold and the £450 disappears quick sharp.





don't get me started on free spins, in 8 years of playing I have never won anything from free spins
I did win twice so far from the will hill free fiver £20 and £15 but as far as free spins go, impossible to get a sniff of a cash out.

Two weeks!

I have made about 30-35 deposits in the last 8-9 weeks and I can't even get above my deposit, never mind win. My saviour has been a site I seldom play at, which proved lucky for me. Tonight I won the Victorious battle, thought my luck was maybe turning but no, 45% was what I won. I am taking a long break now, got totally bored of dead spins, no play time and no wins - my luck has skipped off and stayed away

Not being paid if you manage a win is worse IMO.

Ha! Or winning a random jp on a no-deposit bonus!

Maybe you shouldn't take a bonus?

jesus a 2nd day I hit the top symbol in the game on the battle slots

What is worse than bad luck is being very lucky but having to decline the win due to being unable to make it.
Today I got the call to inform me that I won the Videoslots exclusive MOTO GP experience promo competition which ended last week. Unfortunately I can not make it so I had to throw the prize back in to be drawn again

 Flights from any Europe destination to the UK
 Accommodation for 2 nights at a 5* Hotel
 2 VIP passes to the Silverstone Moto GP on the 27th of August.
 Paddock passes, with tour of Sam Lowes’s garage, meet the team and a photo opportunity with Sam.
 Lunch with Team Aprilia
 Grandstand passes to watch the racing

Did they not offer you a consolation prize, like 10,000 free spins on your favourite slot?

Feck all. What is galling is me having taken part in most days of every competition and promo they have had for ilks where the winner where given options on the prize,but this one was strictly none negotiable

After years of similar experiences, I ended up quitting gambling. Best decision I ever made!

I know its not their fault you couldn't attend but would they not have permitted you to raffle off the prize, even if the money was to be donated to charity? I find it pretty appalling that they couldn't have offered you some consolation from Videoslots considering you are a loyal and supportive player of them.

 

[geordiecolin]

I informed them that I had a small appetite and that I have just bought a pack of 6 value burgers from Lidl's with an expiry date of the 26th and no way could I let that last burger go to waste

My initial request included the possibility of having some sort of giveaway for CM members in here but due to the exclusive passes etc needing a name and the closeness of the event meant it was just not practical. I totally understand and except that the deal had to be passed on today without delay and I except their hands are tied with this one. It just leaves me feeling like I would rather not have won. What are the chances of me winning another promo at Videoslots? I may as well not bother entering them again

..........I would have done the same

If only I had given it more thought I could have Fedex'ed that last Burger you way!

 

[goatwack]

Actually let me tell you what's worse than bad luck. Just came off a Live Blackjack session, where I got a free fiver off Genting I believe.

So there I am trying to build my balance up - I think I peaked at £20 - with only 10x wagering. So what happens, I hear you cry?

I watch in awe as the spaz cohabiting the table keeps sticking on low amounts. As I dwindle to my last £5, the gibbon only sticks on f*cking 15 doesn't he. I end up busting on a flatout killer sequence, but as it turns out if he'd just taken a card he would have had 21 and we would have both beaten the dealer.

So that's what's worse than bad luck. Other f*cking people

Gee Nutnut I feel your pain. That is my worst nightmare coming to life. Sometimes when I am playing in a freeroll I get so scared I am going to hit a big pay that I just quit half way I would be hell depressed if that happened to me.

I am on a break now myself..the fun is gone, when they run so predictably it becomes so fucking boring.
the last straw was on a low balance £1.50 spin and hit the bonus on book of ra deluxe 6 reels
before the symbol even came I pictured in my head 10's with nothing more than 3 of them and no retrigger
and yep exactly how the bonus went and a piddling x10.

thats not good at all, feel for you Colin

I never take part in promos for holidays and suchlike, simply because I wouldn't use it. I mentioned it in Ryan's thread a couple of weeks ago that I think offering that type of prize is a mistake, but if they do there should be a cash alternative

Yes I agree. When you consider that the vast majority of Videoslots promo's prizes are cash alternative or something solid this deal is very limited considering that the prize is none negotiable and takes place in just a few days time. What compounded it for me was seeing my £150 deposit last night go to nothing in no time at Videoslots. It felt like I am paying for a prize I didn't get.

I've suggested an alternative prize for them to give to you-

A framed, signed black & white photo of Warren Barton ca. 1994

Oh those flowing locks while he was belting down the left wing

That always did present a problem for us, given he played right-back

Still, we had the mighty Peacock to clear up (sometimes)

I was using poetic license

I recall when Peacock and Barton went up to the box for corners and free kicks thinking "Shit we have no chance if the ball goes to them".

But Phillip Albert was a beast

 

[Mouche12]

Worse in my case was last night where I had won around € 1200 at VS, and was NOT able to withdraw my funds from Neteller (have sent several emails, but no reply yet)..... then blew it all on VS and Guts...

I know, I know - and maybe this is not the appropriate thread, but had to share this. Stupid me for being so unpatient - I intended to withdraw €700, the max allowable in 24 hrs for my status.

This error came up at 2 banks in my area where I made several attempts, and there's nothing wrong with my card, everything was fine a few weeks ago. A glitch or something?

 

[Chipkin9]

You're definitely the luckiest unlucky player there is that's for sure. You're the "almost" lucky guy

Didn't you hit massive on Bonanza at a shitty Nektan Casino too, with absolutely shameful (and should be illegal) terms, stating 4x bonus amount cashout only?

I don't know what you have done to spite the slot gods, but you should plead for mercy.

I'd shed a tear if I had any left (given my own luck)

When I read that bolded part all those memories of taking a bonus and getting to 97% only to fail came flooding back, as that was how I was interpreting it as I read it

I have Social Anxiety Disorder so I probably wouldn't have liked to have won the prize you did (Besides I'm not even a fan of Moto GP), however I would have been looking at a cash consolation under the equivalent amount.

At the end of the day you WON the prize and they should honour that in some way. To be given nothing at all is really poor form from them as good a casino that they are.

I'd be really pissed at this, so I salute you for being pretty ok and understanding about it

ive all but given up slots. ill chuck odd 10 or 5 now. but im bored to death and bored of losing.

infact if they banned bonanza id never have a incentive to never deposit ever.

chasing that win again will never happen, not unless its a nektan bonus

Hi geordiecolin,

This campaign was done together with Core Gaming that are sponsoring a MotorGP driver that is racing with Team Aprilia. Core Gaming decided to give a few selected casinos a campaign package where we could take a lucky winner with a friend to have an exclusive MotoGP experience. Everything was pre-booked and planned and that is the reason we stated in our terms of the campaign that it was not possible to move or exchange the prize in to cash.

The original winner had to turn down the prize and that is when we contacted you and you turned down the prize to. We didn't want the prize to go to vain so we contacted a new player that said yes.

Br,

Daniel

 

[lockinlove]

yeah these battle of the slots can be absolute torture. I cant count how many times a week I get 300x in book of dead or 400x on birds on a wire in battles but never hit even 20x when playing cash. Its week after week ...day after day. Hit huge in battles, lose all your money with cash.

But whats worse than bad luck. Is having good luck for 6 months then having nightmare luck for 3 months where every single day you do not cash out or cant even hit 200x. But those 6 months you are cashing out a few times a week. Hitting 600x...1200x. Then 3 months of an rtp of about 60%. No matter what casino, what game its just rinse and repeat.

I understood and excepted it was none negotiable the first time I was told it Dan. But that does not change the fact that I'm a bit pissed off about it.
This saga fits this thread perfectly and that is why I posted
