New casino bonuses in the UK: what the welcome offers are worth
2 New casinos with an offer on file
New casinos lead with welcome offers. The figure beside this text is the median headline offer at casinos founded this year or in the two years before, and the headline is still the least useful number in any offer.
Since 19 January 2026, a UK-licensed casino cannot set wagering above 10 times the bonus, and offers that mix casino and betting are banned. That makes UK offers easier to compare, but the value still depends on the time limit, the maximum bet, the games that count and any cap on winnings.

Short answer
Are new casino bonuses worth claiming in the UK?
More often than before 2026. Clearing a bonus costs about bonus × wagering × house edge, so at the UK cap of 10x on a slot with 96% RTP, a £100 bonus costs about £40 to clear and is worth about £60 on average. The catch moves to the other terms: a short time limit, a low maximum bet or a cap on winnings can still take most of that value.

Enter the bonus money from the offer and its wagering, up to the UK cap of 10x. The expected cost is what the average player loses while betting through the wagering.
What is a welcome bonus worth?
WorksheetYou must bet £1,000 before the bonus turns into cash. At 96.0% RTP that costs £40 on average, so the bonus is worth about £60.

Read before you claim
Terms that decide what a UK bonus is worth
Time limit
Short windows, such as 7 days, push you to play more than you planned. Unused bonus money expires.
Stake cap
Most terms cap each bet while wagering runs, often at £2 to £5. One bet above the cap can void the bonus and its winnings.
Games that count
Slots usually count in full. Table and live games often count at a fraction or not at all.
Win limit
Some offers cap what you can cash out from bonus winnings, so a large win is cut down to the cap.

UK bonus rules in depth
What changed in January 2026
The Gambling Commission announced the changes in March 2025 and they took effect on 19 January 2026. Wagering on any promotion is capped at 10 times the bonus, and a single offer can no longer require you to use two or more types of gambling, such as betting and slots.
| Bonus | Wagering | Bets needed | Expected cost at 96% RTP | Average value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| £100 | 35x (common before 2026) | £3,500 | £140 | -£40 |
| £100 | 10x (UK cap) | £1,000 | £40 | +£60 |
| £100 | 0x (no wagering) | £0 | £0 | +£100 |
Bonus types you will see
- No deposit bonuses: free spins or a small credit for registering, usually with a cap on what you can withdraw.
- Free spins: a set number of spins on named slots, at a fixed value per spin.
- Bonus codes: offers you unlock by entering a code at sign-up or deposit.
- Deposit match: a percentage of your deposit added as bonus money, often spread over several deposits.
- Cashback: a share of losses returned, with or without wagering.
Play safely with bonuses
A bonus is a reason to keep playing. Set a deposit limit before you opt in, and skip offers altogether if you are trying to cut down. Our guide to sticky and non-sticky bonuses explains when your own deposit is locked in.
Questions
New casino bonuses: questions
How do I work out what a welcome bonus is worth?
Multiply the bonus by the wagering to get the amount you must bet, then multiply by the house edge (1 minus the RTP) for the average cost. £200 at 10x on a 96% RTP slot means £2,000 of bets and about £80 of expected losses, so the bonus is worth about £120 on average.
What is the maximum wagering on a UK bonus?
10 times the bonus, for any promotion at a UK-licensed casino since 19 January 2026.
What is a maximum bet rule?
A cap on each stake while the bonus is active. One bet above the cap can void the bonus and what it won. The cap is in the bonus terms.
Can I get a casino and sports bonus together?
Not in one offer. Since January 2026, UK promotions that require you to use more than one type of gambling are banned.
Can I withdraw my deposit before the wagering is done?
It depends on the offer. With a non-sticky bonus your deposit is played first and stays withdrawable; with a sticky one it is locked with the bonus. Our guide explains both.
Should I claim a bonus at a brand-new casino?
Only after you have checked the licence and the terms. A bonus does not make up for a casino that is slow to pay, so test a small withdrawal first.
Responsible gaming
Play only if you are 18+ and it stays fun
These rules apply on every page of this site. A young casino has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.
Adults only, everywhere
You must be 18 or older. A licensed casino must check your age and identity before you can deposit or play, so have your ID ready when you register.
Responsible gamingStart small with an unknown casino
Deposit an amount you would accept losing to a failed withdrawal, and request a small cash-out early to see how the casino handles it.
How we review new casinosSet limits before the welcome offer
