Licence

How a bonus may be advertised and structured is a licence matter, which is why the same operator presents an offer differently in different markets.

Sites serving consumers in Great Britain need a Gambling Commission licence; Northern Ireland runs on separate legislation. The section covers non-UKGC operators, offshore and international brands and the Malta, Gibraltar, Curaçao and Anjouan licences.

The largest no-deposit offers usually come from outside the licensed market. That is not an accident of generosity — it is the absence of the conditions attached to a UK licence.
