Online slots at casinos licensed in Great Britain have a maximum stake per spin. The limit is £5 a spin for most adults and £2 a spin for players aged 18 to 24.

How casinos apply it

Your age is known from verification, so the right limit is applied to your account automatically. You will simply not be offered a higher stake in the game’s bet selector.

What it means for bonuses

Bonus terms often set their own maximum bet while wagering, commonly well below the legal limit. The lower of the two always applies. Our wagering guide explains why breaking a bonus max bet can void your winnings.

Other game-design rules

Slots on UK-licensed sites also cannot offer autoplay, must show a minimum time between spins, and cannot celebrate a return smaller than your stake as a win. These rules are there to slow the pace of play.

Set your own limit too

The stake limit caps each spin, not what you spend overall. A deposit limit is still the most effective tool you can set yourself.
