Matched money, measured in the staking each pound of bonus owes
Staking owed for every £1 of bonus credited at forty times, the multiple most offers of this kind ask. Where the multiple is 35 times instead, the figure is £35.00. A British operating licence caps the same figure at £10.00, and offers of this kind hold no such licence. Source: terms usual at offshore cashiers, read October 2026.

Not one of the offers printed above holds a Great Britain licence. Outside that licence a British player has none of its protection: Gamstop Online cannot shut the door, the ten-times limit on bonus wagering does not bind the operator, and no British complaints body will take up a dispute. You must be 18 or over to open an account anywhere in this rack.
Every figure in the rack is a term the operator itself publishes, read on 14 October 2026. The operator's terms in full are the ones that bind you.
One pound of bonus, in pounds per pound
| What these offers ask | Under a British licence | |
|---|---|---|
| You put in | £1.00 | £1.00 |
| Handed over | £1.00 | £1.00 |
| Wagering | 40x | 10x |
| Cost per £1 kept | No pound kept | £0.67 |
Every line assumes 96p comes back for each pound sent through the games, all rounds counting at face value, and a match of one for one so that both halves of the package are the same size. Anjouan, Curacao and Costa Rica are the licensing jurisdictions here; Great Britain licenses none of them. Forty times a pound is £40.00 of staking, which costs £1.60 against a credit worth £1.00, so the credit is expected to go first and no surviving pound exists to carry a price. At ten times, 60p survives and has cost 67p. A win ceiling, a round credited at less than face value or an expiry date arriving early pushes the right-hand figure down and cannot lift the left one. Both columns are long-run averages and describe no single sitting.
01
A pound of bonus is the unit, and the rate on the headline is not
£40.00 of staking buys the right to withdraw one pound of bonus at forty times, the commoner multiple. £35.00 where it is thirty-five instead. Those two multiples are what every headline in this section resolves into once the terms are read.
The percentage does not touch that figure. A match of 100 per cent and a match of 300 per cent both hand over bonus funds carrying the same multiple at the same cashier. What the percentage decides is how many pounds of bonus there are, and therefore how many lots of £40.00 the account owes before any of it can leave.
So the ladder in this section is a ladder of quantity, not of price. Each rung is priced in the same unit and the unit does not move. 100% deposit bonus is one lot per pound paid in. 200% deposit bonus is two. 300% deposit bonus is three, spread over three separate payments, and 400% deposit bonus is a figure offers of this kind do not print at all.
Two guides take the same money by the product it has to be spent on rather than by the rate on the front of it. The reel case is slots sign up bonus, which is also the only product these offers count. The ticket case is bingo sign up bonus, where the count is nil. The package as a whole, match and spins together, is at casino welcome bonus.
02
These headlines are built by stacking deposits
Four figures are worth having before any of the headlines are read: the deposit floor, the rate on the first payment, the number of payments the headline is spread across, and the multiple. The table carries them all.
| Package | Floor | First payment | Payments | Wagering |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A euro package at 35 times | €20 | 150% | 3 | 35x |
| A euro package on a band | €20 | 50 to 100% | 5 | 40x |
| A sterling package on the same band | £20 | 50 to 100% | 5 | 40x |
| A sterling package led by 200 per cent | £20 | 200% | 3 | 40x |
Read the payments count before the headline. A package advertising four figures of bonus reaches that figure only if five separate deposits are made, each one at or above the floor and each one carrying its own share of the obligation. The first payment is the only one a reader is choosing when they open an account, and at the floor it is worth between £10 and £40 of bonus depending on the rate that first payment carries.
Some price their floor in euros and some in pounds. The press does not convert between them, because no exchange rate stands behind these figures, so a euro package is priced here in euros throughout.
03
Ten times is the measure this section is written against
Ten is the British figure. A licensee may not ask for bonus funds to be played through more than ten times over, a provision live since 19 January 2026 and set out in the social responsibility code, where the limit is written against incentives in terms.
That figure is the right-hand column of every price line here and it reaches none of these cashiers. The regulator settled on ten to strip out the far end of the market, where multiples of up to sixty were in use, and recorded one operator whose own breakdown put 75 per cent of its offers at ten times or less.
The difference between the two sides is a difference of four, or of three and a half. Each pound of bonus from an offer of this kind owes four times what the same pound would owe at a licensed cashier, and the cost of the staking rises in exact step with it.
04
Four terms move the price, and the percentage is not among them
Offers of this kind print terms beyond the multiple, and each of those terms takes something off the figure in the price line. None of them appears in the headline.
- A ceiling on winnings. Some stop the bonus at five times its own value. Others stop each batch of spin winnings at €100. Some print no ceiling at all, so that figure cannot be read before an account is opened.
- A clock. Fourteen days at some cashiers, seven at others, nothing published at others again. Spins run shorter than the cash, at one day or at three.
- A stake ceiling. Few print one, at €5 for as long as a bonus is running. Most print none, so nothing published says how fast the staking may be served.
- The product. Reels, in every case. Some state that nothing but slots moves the counter, and the rest name slots as the game the credit is played on.
Documents are required before the first withdrawal. That is the term most often read too late: money goes in on the strength of a headline and comes back out only after identity has been settled, and the order of those two events does not change from one of these cashiers to the next.
05
What the missing licence takes off the figure, item by item
Anjouan, Curacao and Costa Rica are the licences this part of the market runs on. A casino holding one of those is outside the ten times cap, outside the national self-exclusion scheme and outside every British complaints body. That is the plain position, and every figure on this page is printed beside it.
Each duty in this paragraph is laid on the holder of a British licence, so a cashier without one carries none of them. The ten-times ceiling is the largest. Next, the bar on mixing betting, casino, bingo and lottery inside one incentive. Next, the per-spin stake limit, £5 for most adults and £2 where the account holder is under 25. Next, the shortest permitted game cycles, two and a half seconds on a reel and five on a table.
Then the duties that bite after the play rather than during it. No term of a licensee’s may stop a customer emptying the deposit balance. One clause the regulator prints as forbidden permits £50 daily and £500 weekly, and no more. A request to withdraw may not be handed back for cancellation. A complaint may be raised for six months at least, has to be finished eight weeks from the day it arrived, and has to close with a letter naming an independent dispute body.
The self-exclusion scheme is the clearest case of all, because what it covers is settled by the licence and not by the website. Taking part is a condition of holding one. The scheme states the limit itself: where an operator stands outside it, a registered person cannot be kept out by it. Registration stands until its minimum period has run, and the register held 614,738 people on 16 July 2026.
The guides in outside the licence take that list apart one protection at a time. This section prices what the absence costs in pounds: four times the staking per pound of bonus, which is the whole of the difference between the two sides in the strip above.
06
What the first payment is worth at each floor
£40.00 is the largest bonus a single payment credits at its own floor out here, and £10.00 is the smallest. The spread comes entirely from the rate on the first payment, since the floor is the same £20 or €20 everywhere.
At 200 per cent, £20 brings £40 of bonus and £1,600.00 of staking at 40 times. At 150 per cent, €20 brings €30 and €1,050.00 at 35 times. At the top of the 50 to 100 per cent band, £20 brings £20 and £800.00. At the bottom of that band it brings £10 and £400.00.
Each of those four staking figures costs 4 per cent of itself in expectation at 96p back on the pound: £64.00, €42.00, £32.00 and £16.00 respectively. Set each against the bonus it is attached to and only the last comes close, and it does not reach it.
A reader who wants the arithmetic for their own deposit rather than the floor can scale any line here directly, because every figure in it is proportional to the deposit. Doubling what goes in doubles the bonus, the staking and the cost, and leaves the price of a kept pound exactly where it was.
07
One pound of bonus at forty times, worked through
The unit is a single pound of bonus at the commonest multiple above, 40 times, at 96p back on each pound staked and with every round counting at face value. The right-hand answer is the same pound at the British ceiling.
A pound of bonus at 40 times, against the same pound at ten
- Bonus credited, the unit this section counts in £1.00
- Staking owed before it can leave, 40 times £1.00 × 40 = £40.00
- What that staking costs at 96 pence back £40.00 × 0.04 = £1.60
- Bonus less the cost of serving it £1.00 − £1.60 = −£0.60
- Expected to remain, against 60p at the British ceiling £0.00
The right-hand column runs the same five lines at ten times: £10.00 of staking, 40p of cost, 60p remaining, and 67p of cost for each pound that remains. The left-hand answer is held at nought rather than written as a negative, because a bonus cannot take money out of an account that was never credited; what the minus sign means is that the staking is expected to consume the bonus before the obligation is served. Four things sit outside both columns and all of them cut the figure further: a ceiling on the win, a round credited at less than its face value, an expiry date arriving first, and a maximum bet that limits how fast the staking can be put through. At 35 times the same pound owes £35.00, costs £1.40, and ends in the same place.
08
Questions about a matched deposit
- What does a matched deposit bonus actually cost?
- At these cashiers, £40.00 of staking for each £1 of credit, or £35.00 where the multiple is 35 times. With 96p back on each pound staked, that staking costs £1.60 for every pound of credit, which is more than the pound is worth, so nothing is expected to survive it. The British ceiling puts the same pound at £10.00 of staking and leaves 60p.
- Does a higher match percentage mean better value?
- No. The multiple is applied to the bonus, so a bigger percentage produces more bonus and proportionately more staking, and the price of a kept pound does not shift. What a higher rate changes is the size of the commitment: 200 per cent on a £20 floor is £40 of bonus and £1,600.00 of staking at 40 times.
- Why do the headlines say up to £5,000 when the deposit floor is £20?
- Because the headline is the total across every stage of the package, not the first payment. Some spread their figure over five deposits and some over three, each stage carrying its own floor and its own share of the obligation. The first payment at the floor is worth between £10 and £40 of bonus.
- Does the ten times rule apply to offers of this kind?
- No. That limit has bound holders of a British operating licence since 19 January 2026, and none of these cashiers holds one. Anjouan, Curacao and Costa Rica are the licensing jurisdictions, and the multiples printed are 35 and 40 times.
- What happens if a matched bonus goes wrong at one of these cashiers?
- No British complaints body will take up the dispute and the Gambling Commission cannot act, because enforcement follows the licence. A licensed cashier owes an acknowledgement in three working days, a finished process inside eight weeks and a closing letter naming an independent dispute body. None of that applies here.
- Which terms should I read before taking a match?
- Four, in this order: the multiple, the winnings ceiling, the expiry and the stake ceiling. Some stop the bonus at five times its own value, others stop each batch of spin winnings at €100, and some print no winnings ceiling, no expiry and no stake ceiling whatever.
- Can I withdraw my own deposit while a match is running?
- A licensed cashier owes you the deposit balance, winnings included, whenever you ask for it, and may write no term putting a ceiling on that; several operators gave the competition authority undertakings to the same effect in 2018. None of that travels past the licence, so outside it the answer is whatever a cashier has written for itself.
- Does the national self-exclusion scheme reach this market?
- No. Taking part in Gamstop Online is a condition of a British operating licence, and the scheme says plainly that an operator standing outside it cannot be closed by it. Read that as a limit on what protection covers. One registration shuts every British-licensed cashier, and the register held 614,738 people on 16 July 2026.
