UK Online Casinos Required to Alter their New Player Bonuses

Published

on

 

The United Kingdom Gambling Commission has requested that all online casinos operating in the UK remove any multi-tiered welcome offers and only provide one time deposit bonuses. This change to UK online casino bonuses came into fruition on 1st December and it is the first major move by the UKGC following this year’s announcement that UK laws surrounding online gambling will be ‘updated’.

UK regulated casinos including Slotnite and Skol as well as numerous others will now only offer one time deposit bonuses rather than bonuses on subsequent deposits. The UK gambling scene remains competitive with hundreds of operators fighting one another for players. The outcome of this is that casinos use bonus offers as a way to tempt and draw players into playing with them.

Why the New Regulations on Casino Bonus Offers?

The thinking of the UKGC behind this new rule on casino bonuses is that banning all multi-tiered welcome offers will help to protect players. Such bonuses encourage players to make several deposits which may not entirely be in their best interests, according to gambling critics. Operators are still able to offer bonus spins along with first deposit offers, so as of time of writing, it is only multi-tiered deposit bonuses which have been banned.

Other popular casino bonuses including no deposit free spins are also still allowed to be promoted in addition to free spins with no wagering bonuses which rank among the best casino bonuses as players are under no obligation to wager these bonuses a specific number of times before they can withdraw any winnings associated with the free spins.

These bonuses are not likely to occur any wrath from the UKGC as they do not hinder players and are deemed sufficiently fair enough whereby the casino is not taking advantage of them.

What Will 2022 Bring?

It remains unclear what further changes will be made to UK online gambling laws. Casinos are bracing themselves for further restrictions with iGaming officials lobbying government officials in an effort to keep restrictions at a minimum. As it stands, casino bonuses are not considered much of a problem and are already highly regulated. We expected casino players bonus offers to remain more or less the same as they are now, although it would not be surprising to see wagering requirements on slots spins banned as more often than not, it is extremely difficult to ever withdraw any winnings associated with such bonuses.

The UKGC will continue to announce any changes which they deem necessary for gambling operators to make, so the team here at iGamingRadio will be sure to bring you any news updates regarding UK online casino bonuses and gambling laws.
