Stake Limits - All you need to know...
When playing our slot games you may receive a message informing you that you need to reduce your stake due to stake limits. These limits apply specifically to online slot games and have been introduced across all UK gambling operators to promote safer gambling.
The current slot stake limits are:
- Age 25 and over: A maximum stake of £5 per spin.
- Under 25: A maximum stake of £2 per spin.
These limits apply only to slot games. Different rules may apply to other products such as sports betting, table games, or live casino.
Please note that these limits are required by the UK Gambling Commission and cannot be increased or removed.
Please note: A £2 stake limit applies for all players on our Rainbow Riches game.
Below you can find answers to some common questions about slot stake limits.
Why are these stake limits in place?
These limits were introduced by the UK Gambling Commission to reduce the risks associated with high‑stake slot play, such as large losses or loss‑chasing.
Additional protections are also in place for players aged 18 to 24, who are considered more vulnerable to gambling‑related harm.
Do these limits apply to sports betting?
No. The £5 and £2 stake limits apply only to online slot games.
Sports betting, table games, and other products have their own minimum and maximum stake limits which can vary depending on the market, event, or account settings.
How will the slot stake limits affect gameplay?
- Automatic adjustments: Your maximum stake will automatically change if you move into a different age group.
- In‑game notifications: You will receive a message if you try to place a stake above the allowed limit.
- The limit only affects the maximum amount you can stake per spin and does not otherwise change the gameplay.
What happens if I try to stake more than the allowed limit?
If you attempt to place a stake above the permitted amount, the bet will not be accepted and you will receive an error message asking you to reduce the stake.
When were these changes introduced?
- £5 slot stake limit for players aged 25 and over: Introduced on 9 April 2025.
- £2 slot stake limit for players aged 18 to 24: Introduced on 21 May 2025.
Why is my sports bet stake limited?
If you are placing a sports bet and your stake appears restricted, this may be due to:
- Market or event‑specific betting limits
- Maximum payout restrictions
- Account‑specific betting limits
These limits are separate from slot stake regulations.
Can I change these limits?
The regulatory slot stake limits cannot be changed. However, you can set additional responsible gambling limits such as deposit limits, loss limits, or session reminders in the My Account section.
