Live blackjack and bonus wagering: what the terms say
Whether live blackjack counts towards bonus wagering, and at what rate, is set by each operator's terms. This applies to casino bonuses at Great Britain licensees as of 13 November 2026, when wagering on bonus funds is capped at 10x under SR 5.1.1. It depends on the contribution rate and on the maximum stake the terms allow.
The cap and what it leaves open
The Gambling Commission's SR 5.1.1 caps wagering on bonus funds at 10x from 19 January 2026 and bars mixed bonuses across betting, casino, bingo and lottery. Read the condition at SR 5.1.1.
The cap does not set how much each game contributes. That is left to the operator's terms.
Contribution arithmetic
Stake needed = cap × bonus ÷ contribution rate. The rates below are illustrations for the formula, not any operator's values.
| Illustrative contribution | Stakes needed per £1 of bonus |
|---|---|
| 100% | £10 |
| 50% | £20 |
| 10% | £100 |
| 0% | Wagering does not progress |

What this page leaves out
No bonus amounts, no codes and no offers appear here. Offers belong to the operator's page, with its own terms, and change quickly. Our terms-change record is Terms changes tracker.
Reading a bonus's terms in four steps
- Find the table or list of game contributions, and read the live blackjack line.
- Find the list of excluded games.
- Find the maximum stake allowed while a bonus is active.
- Note the edition date of the terms.
Terms are valid for 7 days in our records. After that a figure shows the message "This figure is out of date and is being re-checked".
The maximum stake matters because the terms say what follows if you go above it. Read that sentence before the first hand.

Quick answers
- Does live blackjack count towards wagering requirements?
It depends on the operator's terms. Contribution rates are set by each operator, and we have not yet read the terms of the six candidates.
- What does SR 5.1.1 say about wagering?
Since 19 January 2026 wagering on bonus funds is capped at 10x, and mixed bonuses across product types are not allowed. We link to the condition text and do not restate it in full.
- How do I work out the stake needed?
Stake needed = 10 × bonus ÷ contribution rate. At a 50% rate, £1 of bonus needs £20 of qualifying stakes.
- Do you list bonus amounts?
No. This site keeps no bonus catalogue. It shows only the contribution of live blackjack and the terms to read, with a date.
- How often do the terms change?
Operator terms can change at any time, so a figure here is valid for 7 days from its check date, after which it is marked as out of date.
