About Videoslots

Being in the gaming industry for a long while now I have accounts at a wide range of casino and sportsbook providers. I have known about Videoslots for at least 10 years or so but have never gotten round to opening an account there for numerous reasons, until now. For starters it is not your run of the mill casino platform – this site has a monumental amount of games available, a whopping 9100+ brought to you by 150+ games providers. Most are slot games but there is still ample choice of pretty much everything esle you can think of. It also has a refreshing but complicated approach to wagering requirements.

You can take part in a number of different slot battles, they also have countless slot tournaments that run 24 hours a day and with every spin or play in the live casino you could win Videoslots own progressive jackpot. With a sportsbook added in the last couple of years as well, this platform has an awful lot going on. Phew! I think I need a lay down already. But first, let’s have a closer look at this monster gaming platform.

Videoslots was launched back in 2011 and is very well respected within the gaming industry. The site is of black and gold design with a distinguished logo that has an old fashioned slot lever at the side, so it looks like a slot machine. It can be a little overwhelming just how big this site is on first impressions and I feel that Videoslots counter this well by having very few categories of games, which eases the congestion on their homepage a little bit on desktop. The homepage in general has a lot going on as there is info on up and coming battles, a powerful search function, quick links on the left to genres of games and a very long list of progressive jackpot prize funds. Navigating your way around is pretty self explanatory, but straight away I felt more at ease via mobile. On the left the 3 white lines direct you to other parts of the casino and pretty much all aspects within their site. At the top towards the right are links to promotions, the cashier, a search bar and other links like hot games and favourites towards the bottom.

Getting Started

Videoslots has a competitive welcome offer that is available by clicking or tapping on the link above. It is a 100% deposit bonus up to £200 and 11 wager free spins on Starburst, and you can receive this on a deposit of just £10 if you so wish. The bonus comes with wagering requirements of 35x and unusually, you have to complete the wagering requirement before receiving the bonus. This doesn’t happen all in one go but in 10 tranches – complete 1/10 of the wagering requirement, receive 1/10 of the bonus. You can keep playing, or withdraw it right away (but you will lose the rest of the bonus if you do).

Furthermore, the rate at which play on a slot game contributes to filling the wagering requirement is directly related to the slot’s theoretical RTP. Slots with an RTP of 96% are considered to be the baseline and contribute 100% – and the contribution changes by 0.25% for each 0.01% by which the theoretical RTP differs from 96% (up to a maximum of 75%).

For example, if you play Thunderstruck 2 while you have a wagering requirement to fill, it has a theoretical RTP of 97% so contributes at 75%. Some non-slot games contribute at a flat 10%. The only slot games that can’t be played in order to fill a wagering requirement are progressive jackpots. More information can be found in Videoslots terms and conditions. Although this sounds a little confusing, the welcome offer does still provide great value.

Signing up is very quick and easy, taking a couple of minutes at most. You will be sent a code via text message which you have to enter in the relevant box to complete the process. There are also options to set deposit limits, reality checks and marketing preferences before you play. Videoslots will try to verify your account when you sign up, however you could be asked to provide ID and proof of address before you play and to withdraw your account will need to be fully verified. Being required to provide ID is completely normal with the casino practising due diligence in line with the Gambling Commission.

Sports Betting at Videoslots

The sportsbook at Videoslots is a no frills offering. However, although this part of their business isn’t really their main focus it’s great to see that you have the option of a flutter on your favourite sports. Unfortunately there is no horse or greyhound racing available, but there are a wide range of other sports to choose from which include football, golf, tennis, darts and American Football to name a few.

Navigating around this area of their platform is extremely simple and the ability to change odds from fractional to decimal is simpler to do compared to some. Great features here include a very good Esports area which would rival any mainstream bookmaker; you can stream games live and wager on a whole host of markets. There is also a good betting in-play section and the ability to do bet builders on mainstream football games and other sports like basketball for example. Lastly there is also a boosted area which does focus a little on football offering great value bets.

Slot Games at Videoslots

As mentioned before this platform has 9100+ games at your disposal and whilst navigating your way around here is very easy, you could find it harder actually choosing which title to play. There are very few categories of games with links to featured, popular and new titles at the bottom on desktop and running through a banner in the middle on mobile. Videoslots pretty much encourages you to search their huge catalogue through their powerful search function and my word, it is powerful. You can search games by name, provider, by game features like expanding wilds or megaways, how popular they are per provider, in alphabetical order and how many win lines the game has.

Videoslots has an additional search page called game payouts which you can find towards the right on desktop or via the 3 white lines on mobile. Working similar to the search function it gives you the theoretical RTP’s for a game without having to wade through a list that is more than 2000 entries long. The game payout page does much more than that though, it also allows players to browse lists of games based on what type of game they are, ranked on how popular they are and what the payout percentage is actual, as well as theoretical. So for example, you can look at the slot games with an expanding wilds feature, find out which were the most played last month and what the theoretical and actual RTP is for each one. With so many slots to choose from, this tool is bound to prove invaluable for finding new games to play and furthermore which games are currently hot and cold if that appeals to you.

Progressive Jackpot games has its own category and has a whopping 650+ (i did the maths) titles to choose from. I feel this is a mic drop moment…..

Other Games at Videoslots

I think by now you’re getting the theme here, and you have probably already guessed there is an extensive amount of choice here when it comes to live casino games. Powered by 6 providers which include Evolution and Playtech there is Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat amongst other table games. Game shows are again well represented with every game I searched for available, even Marble Run which is brand new at the time of writing. The live casino area has its own separate search function where you can search games the same way you can search slot titles which again makes it super easy to find what you’re looking for. There is also an arcade category again with its own search function, where you will find Crash games, Luckytap, Plinko and Keno. Video table games has its own section on mobile whilst links to different genres of games are towards the left on desktop. There you will find more links to scratchcards and in Other Games you can find Slingo and video bingo.

Other Things to Consider

Alongside the welcome offer mentioned earlier Videoslots also runs regular promotions and at the time of writing these include The Wheel of Jackpots. This is a Videoslots exclusive progressive jackpot system. Each spin on slots or play in Live Casino has a chance of triggering a wheel spin which gives players the opportunity to win the minor, major or mega jackpot. You can’t participate, however, while you have an active bonus.

The Clash Of Spins slot tournaments run 24 hours a day, some are based on total wagering and some based on getting big wins.

There are also Battle of Slots Tournaments. There are several types of these, some with a set buy-in and some which can be entered for free after meeting deposit and play requirements. Players have a set number of spins on a specified slot (in some tournaments they can buy more) and have to score the most in the time to win the guaranteed prizes. Each tournament also has a chat window in case you want to strike up a conversation with the other participants.

There is also the Weekend Booster which is a cash back promotion paid on a Friday with no wagering. The amount paid depends on the number of spins you have totalled in the previous week so the more spins you do the more cash you get back.

Videoslots has some great customer support options. Firstly their customer care team is available 24/7 by means of live chat. You can find the link at the top of the homepage on desktop or via the 3 white lines on mobile. They are also alternatively obtainable by email, phone and you can even write them a letter if you wish.

Final Thoughts

There is an awful lot to like when it comes to Videoslots. It can be a little overwhelming at first but once you get the hang of the numerous search functions on offer, getting around and finding what you’re after is so easy. The mobile version although providing exactly the same as on desktop is slightly less busy on the eye, with both user platforms being top drawer. With probably the largest games library in the industry right now and with the addition of a sportsbook, Videoslots is most definitely well worth exploring.
