Key takeaways
- 10x is now the maximum wagering at any UK-licensed casino.
- Casumo and 10Bet both use 10x on the bonus only.
- Deadlines matter as much as the multiple: 7 days at Casumo, 3 at 10Bet.
- No-wagering spins go further, with no playthrough at all.
What counts as low wagering now?
Before 2026, a bonus with 20x wagering looked generous next to the 35x to 50x that was common, and some operators went as high as 60x. Since 19 January 2026, UK-licensed casinos can't go above 10x. In practice that means every wagered bonus is now "low wagering" by the old standards, and the real differences are the deadline, the bonus size and whether wagering applies to the bonus alone.
60x was the highest level the Gambling Commission found in use before the cap.

Low wagering vs no wagering
A 10x bonus gives you a bigger balance, but you'll usually finish with less than the bonus because slots return less than they take over time. No-wagering spins are smaller but every win is cash. If you play casually, compare no wagering free spins. If you deposit more and play regularly, a 10x match can extend your play. Our wagering guide explains the maths.

Frequently asked questions
What is a low wagering casino?
One whose bonuses need to be played through only a few times. Since January 2026 every UK-licensed casino is capped at 10x.
Is 10x wagering good?
It's the UK maximum and far below the 35x to 50x that used to be common. No wagering is better still.
Which low wagering bonus is best?
Casumo for larger deposits and more time; 10Bet for a full 100% match on smaller deposits if you can play within 3 days.
