The Commission publishes licence conditions and the Remote Gambling and Software Technical Standards (RTS) that software studios and casinos have to follow, and it keeps a public register of licensed businesses. On a licensed site the games are tested against official standards and run under regulatory oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-technical-standards-at-a-glance\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Technical Standards at a Glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The table summarises the standards that matter most for slots, with their requirement numbers so that you can look up the exact wording on the Commission&#8217;s website. The standards are revised from time to time, so treat the Commission&#8217;s published text as the final word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Topic<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What the standard requires<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Where to find it<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Rules and RTP<\/td><td>Game rules, payouts and the house edge, RTP or probability of winning must be easy to find before you gamble<\/td><td>RTS 3A, 3C and 3D<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Random results<\/td><td>Outcomes must be acceptably random, and the rules, payouts and probabilities cannot change while a game is available<\/td><td>RTS 7A and 7D<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fair and honest design<\/td><td>Games must run as described, and designs likely to mislead you about the chance of a result are barred<\/td><td>RTS 7B and 7C<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Jackpots<\/td><td>An explanation of the jackpot rules must be clear before you gamble, and values must be visible and kept up to date<\/td><td>RTS 9A<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>No autoplay<\/td><td>You must commit to each game cycle individually, so autoplay cannot be offered<\/td><td>RTS 8A<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spin speed<\/td><td>At least 2.5 seconds from the start of one game to the next<\/td><td>RTS 14D<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>No speed-ups<\/td><td>You cannot reduce the time until a result is shown, so no turbo, quick spin or slam stop<\/td><td>RTS 14E<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>No false celebrations<\/td><td>No celebration of a return that is less than or equal to the total stake<\/td><td>RTS 14F<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>One game at a time<\/td><td>No functionality that makes it easier to play several games at once<\/td><td>RTS 14C<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Net position<\/td><td>Your net position since the session began, shown in pounds<\/td><td>RTS 2E<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Time and reality checks<\/td><td>Elapsed time shown during a casino session, and reality checks that you can set<\/td><td>RTS 13B and 13C<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Stake limits<\/td><td>\u00a35 a spin for players aged 25 and over, \u00a32 for ages 18 to 24, on online slots<\/td><td>Online slots stake limit rules<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-why-there-is-a-2-5-second-floor\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why There Is a 2.5-Second Floor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regulators slow play to curb rapid spending. RTS 14D says that at least 2.5 seconds must pass from the start of one game to the start of the next, so a single game can run at no more than 1,440 spins an hour. At a \u00a31 stake and the example 96% RTP, even that ceiling means \u00a31,440 staked in an hour and an expected cost of \u00a357.60. With no floor, a spin a second would allow 3,600 spins an hour and an expected cost of \u00a3144 at the same stake and RTP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-autoplay-turbo-and-playing-two-games-at-once\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Autoplay, Turbo and Playing Two Games at Once<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Autoplay lets a slot run a string of spins with no further action from you. RTS 8A requires you to commit to each game cycle individually, and its stated aim is to make clear that autoplay cannot be offered for online gaming, so you must press spin yourself every time. RTS 14E bars turbo modes, quick spins and slam stops as well, while RTS 14C stops a site offering functionality that makes it easier to play several games at once. Together, these rules cap how many spins you can fit into an hour and, with them, how fast the money can go. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/boldgambler.com\/uk\/casino\/slots\/how-to-play-online-slots-uk\/\">guide to the basics of a spin<\/a> prices an hour at different stakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-stake-limits-for-online-slots\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stake Limits for Online Slots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 9 April 2025 the maximum stake on an online slot game has been \u00a35 a game cycle for players aged 25 and over, and since 21 May 2025 it has been \u00a32 for players aged 18 to 24. The limits apply to slots only. A game cycle runs from the start of a game until all the money staked has been lost or all the winnings have been delivered to you or made available for collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cap on the stake is not a cap on the cost. At the example pace of 900 spins an hour and 96% RTP, a \u00a35 stake means \u00a34,500 staked in the hour and an expected cost of \u00a3180, and a \u00a32 stake means \u00a31,800 staked and an expected cost of \u00a372.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-a-slot-screen-must-tell-you\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What a Slot Screen Must Tell You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standards decide what information reaches you. The rules and payout information have to be easy to reach before you gamble, including the house edge, RTP or probability of winning (RTS 3). Your net position in pounds must be shown during the session (RTS 2E), casino sessions must display the elapsed time (RTS 13C), jackpot values must be visible and games must not celebrate a return that fails to beat the stake (RTS 14F). Together these put the true cost in front of you instead of leaving you to work it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-safer-gambling-tools-gamstop-and-account-limits\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safer Gambling Tools: GamStop and Account Limits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All Gambling Commission licensed online casinos take part in GamStop, the national online self-exclusion scheme. One registration blocks you from all online gambling companies licensed in Great Britain, and you choose how long the block lasts: six months, one year or five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Licensed sites also give you deposit limits, time-outs and their own self-exclusion in the account settings, so set your limits when you open an account, before you begin to play. If you or someone you know needs confidential support, GamCare&#8217;s National Gambling Helpline is free, open 24 hours a day and reachable on 0808 8020 133, with live chat as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-age-identity-and-licence-checks\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Age, Identity and Licence Checks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Players must be at least 18, and licensed operators check your age and identity. They typically ask for your name, address and date of birth when you register, and they may request documents before a withdrawal. Before you deposit, check the operator&#8217;s licence number, which normally appears in the site footer, on the Commission&#8217;s public register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-payments-and-withdrawals\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Payments and Withdrawals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Licensed operators cannot accept credit cards for gambling, which has been the rule since April 2020. RTS 14B adds that customers must not be given the option to cancel a withdrawal request, so a licensed site cannot offer a reverse-withdrawal button that sends the money back to your balance for more play. Sites outside the Commission&#8217;s system are not bound by these rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-back-to-the-full-set-of-guides\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Back to the Full Set of Guides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have reached the end of the series.

If you are still unhappy after that, you can take it to an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provider, but only once you have been through the operator&#8217;s procedure. The Gambling Commission does not resolve or make decisions on complaints about gambling transactions, so keep screenshots, dates and game round details to support your case. <strong>Complain to the casino first, then use an ADR provider<\/strong>.\n        <\/div>\n    <\/details>\n\n    <details class=\"faq-item\">\n        <summary><h4>Does GamStop cover casinos that are licensed outside Great Britain?<\/h4><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n            No. GamStop covers online gambling companies licensed in Great Britain, and a site licensed elsewhere is not required to take part. The Commission&#8217;s rules on stake limits, spin speed and complaints do not apply to it either. Checking the licence number on the Commission&#8217;s public register before you deposit tells you which side of the line a site is on. <strong>Self-exclusion through GamStop only protects you on sites licensed in Great Britain<\/strong>.\n        <\/div>\n    <\/details>\n\n    <details class=\"faq-item\">\n        <summary><h4>Do the same rules apply to roulette and blackjack?<\/h4><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n            Largely, yes, with a few differences for slots. The autoplay rule (RTS 8A) covers online gaming in general, and the ban on celebrating returns that do not beat the stake (RTS 14F), the bar on speed-ups (RTS 14E) and the rule against facilitating several games at once (RTS 14C) cover casino games too. Slots have their own minimum of 2.5 seconds between games (RTS 14D) and the \u00a35 and \u00a32 stake limits, while other casino games, apart from poker against other players, have a 5-second minimum between games (RTS 14G). <strong>Slots carry stricter limits than other casino games<\/strong>.\n        <\/div>\n    <\/details>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how
