LeoVegas and Videoslots are two Malta-licensed online casinos that often appear in the same searches. They are built differently: LeoVegas puts a large, staged welcome offer with a single free-spin game in front, while Videoslots prints two licence-specific bonus term sets and a wager-free spins offer. This page sets out what each publishes, side by side.
Everything below is based on each operator’s published terms and bonus terms, read on 27 October 2026 from a US IP address. It is not based on our own play. Payout times are the operators’ statements, not our measurements. Offers can vary by country. Read the full reviews: LeoVegas review and Videoslots review.

Licences: which regulator applies to you
Both hold an MGA licence. Videoslots adds a UKGC licence. LeoVegas serves UK players under a separate UK licence that this page does not cover.
In practice the licence that applies depends on your country. A Videoslots player under its Malta licence sees the MGA terms; a UK player is served under the UKGC licence. The welcome page prints both and does not tell a visitor which one applies. Check that on the site before you deposit.
MGA-licensed operators must hold enough funds to cover all player and jackpot balances, and the MGA received 1,757 monthly player-funds reports for 2025 (Malta Gaming Authority Annual Report 2025, Malta Gaming Authority). Both operators share that requirement for their MGA business. For what the regulators do and do not cover, read Curaçao vs MGA vs UKGC, and for the UK regulator see the UK Gambling Commission guide and the Malta Gaming Authority guide.
Our check of regulator warning lists found no warning about either brand. Videoslots appears on national blocklists in Italy, Poland and Switzerland.
You can confirm both licences yourself. How to check a gambling licence takes about five minutes.
Welcome terms: a worked comparison
The headline numbers hide the real difference, which is how much you must wager.
- LeoVegas. The 35x applies to your deposit. Deposit €100, and you must wager €3,500 within 14 days to unlock the reward. The tier for €100 to €249.99 gives 20 free spins up front, then €100 and 20 spins a week for 12 weeks once the wagering is done. The window is short: 14 days.
- Videoslots, MGA set. The 35x also applies to your first deposit. Deposit €100 for a €100 bonus, and the target is €3,500 within 60 days, paid in 10% tranches. The first tranche (10% of the deposit, €10) arrives after you wager 3.5x the deposit, which is €350. Withdrawing early stops further tranches, and any remaining bonus is forfeit.
- Videoslots, GB set. The wagering falls to 10x the initial deposit: for a £50 deposit, £500 within 60 days.
The same 35x figure on both MGA offers means very different obligations once you look at the time limit (14 days against 60), the payout style (one unlock against tranches) and the bet limits. Run your own numbers in our wagering calculator, and see how we rate the terms.
Terms we would read twice:
- LeoVegas’s spins are locked to one game and expire after 3 days. The banner says table games are excluded, while the terms give them a 10% contribution.
- Videoslots’s maximum bet while wagering is the lower of 50% of the bonus or €20, and breaking it forfeits the bonus.
- Neither bonus page tells a visitor which countries are eligible.
Payouts and fees
LeoVegas says it strives to process withdrawals within 24 hours, and in all cases within five working days. Videoslots says it processes withdrawals within 48 hours once documents are received, without guaranteeing it. Neither figure is our measurement. No regulator publishes average payout times either.
What both say about identity checks:
- LeoVegas. Documents can be requested at deposit or withdrawal, and no fixed threshold is stated.
- Videoslots. Extra checks may follow once your transactions pass €2,000, and a jackpot win of €50,000 or more can mean a wait of up to 30 working days.
The UK Gambling Commission says issues relating to withdrawals cause most of the complaints it receives (Gambling Commission Annual Report and Accounts 2024-25, Gambling Commission). Upload your documents early. See how to complain about an online casino if a withdrawal stalls, and our KYC page.
Fees are where the two differ most in style. LeoVegas can charge 5% on withdrawals of unwagered deposits of €10 or more. Videoslots can charge up to 3.95% on unwagered deposits withdrawn, plus 1.95% on Euteller deposits and a charge for repeated withdrawals within seven days. Do not deposit and withdraw without playing.
Safer-gambling tools
Both offer limits and self-exclusion.
LeoVegas’s published tools cover deposit, wagering, loss and session-time limits. Tighter limits apply immediately and loosening one takes a 1-day cool-off. Self-exclusion can be for a definite or indefinite period or permanently. A time alert and pause account appear only in an April 2026 archive copy of its responsible-gaming page; we could not read the live page.
Videoslots lists a wager limit, deposit limit, loss limit, max-bet limit, time-out, reality check and account lock. Limit increases take 7 days; decreases take effect at once. Self-exclusion runs from 6 months up to five years, and for UK players it works through GAMSTOP.
Self-exclusion at one operator does not stop you playing at the other. Read self-exclusion: how it works and where it stops and our responsible gaming page.
Which suits which player
We do not name an overall winner. The facts point to different fits.
LeoVegas may suit you if:
- you want a published 24-hour withdrawal target and a five-working-day limit;
- you prefer wagering based on the deposit and a single unlock instead of tranches;
- you accept a short 14-day window and single-game free spins.
Videoslots may suit you if:
- you are in Great Britain and want a UKGC licence behind the terms you get, with 10x wagering on the GB set;
- you want a longer use period (60 days) and wager-free welcome spins;
- you are comfortable with tranche payouts and a €20 or 50%-of-bonus maximum bet.
Neither may suit you if:
- you live in a country on the restricted list. LeoVegas names 11 countries, and Videoslots’s list is much longer. Check yours in each review first.
- you want fee-free withdrawals of unplayed deposits.
What we could not confirm
- Per-method limits, and the full list of payment methods per country, are not captured for either operator.
- Support hours are not stated for either operator’s phone support.
- Our pages were read from a US IP address. Which offer you see depends on your country.
- Registers were not re-opened for this comparison; licence numbers come from each operator’s terms and our earlier register checks.
Final word
LeoVegas leads with a large, staged offer, a 24-hour target and a deposit-based 35x with a short window. Videoslots offers two licence-specific term sets, a longer use period, wager-free spins and tranche payouts. Neither is “better” in general. Match the terms to how you play, check your country on each review and deposit only what you can afford to lose.
