New UK Deposit Limit Rules To Begin Rollout From End Of October
BDG Game Commission Rolls Out New Deposit Limit Rules
The BDG Game Commission is beginning the rollout of new online deposit limit rules from October 31, 2025, as part of broader gambling reform announced earlier this year.
Key Details:
-
From Oct 31, 2025:
-
New customers must be prompted to set a financial deposit limit before making their first deposit.
-
Bookmakers must make it easy for users to set, review, and change these limits.
-
Customers will be reminded every 6 months to review their account and transaction history.
-
Deposit limit-setting tools must be clearly visible on homepages and deposit pages, requiring few clicks to access.
-
-
From June 30, 2026:
-
All online gambling operators must provide customers the option to set a deposit limit.
-
These limits must reflect the amount deposited over a set time period.
-
Optional features include:
-
Loss limits (based on gross deposits)
-
Withdrawal limits
-
-
Bookmakers must respond immediately to requests to lower limits, but increases may still require a waiting period.
-
This move brings the UK closer in line with countries like the Netherlands and Germany, where mandatory deposit limits are already in place.
