SR 5.1.1 and live blackjack: wagering cap and table play
SR 5.1.1 caps wagering requirements at 10 times the bonus and bars bonuses that mix betting, casino, bingo or lottery products, both from 19 January 2026. For live blackjack it matters only when a casino bonus is in play. This applies to remote operators as of 13 November 2026. It depends on whether you take a bonus and on how the operator's terms count live tables.

What SR 5.1.1 sets
The condition is in the Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP). In our brief it has three parts that touch bonuses.
| Part | What it sets | Reaches live blackjack? |
|---|---|---|
| Wagering cap | No more than 10 times the bonus funds | Yes, if the bonus can be wagered there |
| Mixed bonuses | No single bonus across betting, casino, bingo or lottery | Only as a casino bonus |
| Terms | Clear, fair and accessible conditions | Yes, for any bonus |

What it leaves to the terms
SR 5.1.1 does not say how much a game counts towards wagering. That is game contribution, and it sits in the operator's terms.
Whether live blackjack counts at all, and at what share, is dated on live blackjack and bonus wagering. A plain definition is on game contribution. The legal reading of how the cap is counted is not settled here; it needs a lawyer.
The arithmetic of the cap
Wagering needed = cap × bonus ÷ contribution share. This is an illustration with an assumed contribution, not a published figure.
| Assumed contribution | Table stakes needed per £1 of bonus |
|---|---|
| 100% | £10 |
| 50% | £20 |
| 10% | £100 |
The lower the share, the more you must stake. Read the real share in the terms and check its date, which changes. See the terms tracker.
