UK Gambling Bonus Rules: The 10x Wagering Cap
Since 19 January 2026, Great Britain’s gambling licence rules cap promotional wagering requirements at a maximum of 10 times bonus funds. The same rule package also bans an incentive from mixing more than one gambling product category such as betting and casino within the same promotion.
Prediction Markets vs Sportsbooks
A prediction market can show a football winner, point spread or total that looks almost identical to a sportsbook market. The resemblance is real, but the transaction underneath is different.
Event Contracts: Prices, Payouts and Settlement
A binary event contract turns a future event into a tradeable instrument with a fixed settlement value. A common structure pays $1 if the stated outcome occurs and $0 if it does not.
