Check a promotion against the UK mixed-product offer ban

British rules that took effect on 19 January 2026 ban promotions requiring consumers to use two or more gambling product types and cap bonus-fund re-staking requirements at ten. A compliant offer can still be poor value for an individual.

The Commission announcement explains the mixed-product ban, ten-times wagering cap and policy rationale. It applies to licensed Great Britain activity and must be read with the operative licence conditions.

List every required product

Write each gambling activity the customer must use to earn, retain or withdraw the benefit. A headline may mention one product while a later condition requires another.

Treat betting, slots, casino games and bingo as separate product categories when the rules do. The source supports checking whether a promotion links products such as sports betting and slots and how many times bonus funds must be re-staked.

Determine whether the multiplier applies to bonus funds, bonus plus deposit, winnings or another defined amount. Ten times an unclear base is not a usable calculation. Use a cash example that keeps deposits and bonus money separate.

Multiply the stated eligible base by the requirement and list any game-contribution percentages. Turnover is money staked, not a promise that the same balance will remain available. Do not count excluded wagers toward completion.

Confirm the account is governed by the Great Britain rule and the promotion was offered after implementation. A British announcement does not rewrite terms in every country. Use the current licence and terms rather than the language of an old advertisement.

Check the jurisdiction and date

Confirm the account is governed by the Great Britain rule and the promotion was offered after implementation. A British announcement does not rewrite terms in every country.

Use the current licence and terms rather than the language of an old advertisement. A legal promotion is still advertising. Only adults where lawful should consider it, and the safest choice is always to skip an offer.

Ask whether the user would choose the same product, stake and duration without the offer. A different answer shows the promotion is driving exposure. Keep the original affordable limit or reject the bonus entirely.
