Online Casinos in general: Videoslots secret reduction of RTP ?! (Page 5)

To briefly answer some of your questions

Since 2015 there is a new VAT law in the EU. Service providers are since then obliged to collect tax levies according to the legalities of the user location. Since January 2015, Online Casinos have to pay 19% VAT to the German government. For every euro deposited, 19% VAT is paid. (I had already addressed this in several articles).

Online gambling is still a gray area in Germany. The legal situation is not clear - the state monopoly in gambling is in conflict with the European right to freedom of services. I had addressed the difficult legal situation in article on the legality of online casinos, the legal considerations on casinostreams and a report on the state gambling monopoly. So far, nothing has changed in the legal situation - online casinos and sports betting continue to be tolerated because it is a legal gray area

No taxes have been increased in Germany and Austria. In Sweden, since January 2019 there is a tax of 18% on the gross turnover of players. In the UK, 15% in taxes are still levied on online gambling. The exact background for the reduction of the payout ratio at the slots will probably reveal the online casino. The reduction of the RTP should also have been better communicated to the players concerned - as you have already described.

As for the "adjust" wording, all I can say is that it is standard wording. I have worked with several Brits in the past. As soon as changes of any kind had to be made to a web page, they used the verb "adjust". Overall, there are strange phrases in English for us. When someone in a company is fired, Brits also use the phrase "to let someone go", although there would be clearer phrases for "non-Brits"

Well, if you play exclusively Playngo and pragmatic the thing looks different. Then sooner or later you will have an average of 94%. What bugs me a bit at this point is this feeling of always being at a disadvantage compared to the other countries where the slots have not been generated. Whether it's the normal play with your own money or the Free Roll Battles. Especially in the new Tuesday Madness Battle, which consist exclusively (wasn random) of PlaynGo play. You will definitely have a disadvantage.
What you think of it all, whether you avoid PlaynGo or the other providers, or whether you change the casino is up to you
Personally, I find it very brazen, then they should rather cancel more "rewards" instead of say to screw on the "balance" of the slots. I mean who plays the slots of these providers now, if you already know before the RTP was reduced. It's kind of like ordering a pizza when you know you're not going to like it.

I thought so too, this is unfortunately not true and you can also check this at the next Battle. You have as a German player only a RTP of 94.25% and people from the other countries that are not included 96.21 or so.

Thanks for the short explanation.



Yes, that would certainly be something you could tackle sometime


@BvB1995
You have played with 10 euros 800 euros and went out with 0 ?

To say it with your words: I do not understand.
You didn't seriously expect to keep winning, did you ?
