Figures read 26 October 2026 Bill K07, first printing
Free daily spins: a count that arrives daily and a run of days nobody publishes
Ten pence on a round, 96 per cent as the return, and both of those supplied by this publisher rather than read off anything. Worked at five rounds a day, which is this bill’s own example and no offer’s number, a day of play carries 50p of face and hands 48p of it over. A staking rule is published nowhere behind this key, so the regulator’s ceiling of ten times decides the free column, and 29p of a day’s balance survives it: 29p. The same five rounds bought cost 2p a day. The finding reported here is a rate and not a sum even so, 5 rounds a day, because the run of days is the one quantity a daily count never publishes, and part five argues that supplying it would be an invention and not a measurement.
| What is being priced | Priced as a free round | Priced as a paid round | The gap between the two |
|---|---|---|---|
| What a day of play needs first | nothing | 50p | 50p |
| What five rounds stake at 10p | 50p | 50p | none |
| What the day’s reels give back | 48p | 48p | none |
| What the ceiling of ten times takes | 19p | nothing owed | minus 19p |
| What one day comes to | 29p at that ceiling | minus 2p | 31p, or 3.1 rounds |
What the free round comes to 29p a day A day’s rounds staked by somebody else hand over 48p, from which the lawful ceiling of ten times leaves 29p. What the paid round comes to minus 2p a day The same five rounds funded by the reader, where the house share over five results is the whole of what goes missing. The gap, in money and in rounds 5 rounds a day A rate and not a total, carrying 50p of face each day it lands, with the number of days left unstated by every offer of this shape.

Three quantities on a bout were worked out here. Everything else was transcribed. The free quote comes off E = B × (1 − W × (1 − RTP) ∕ g), where W is whatever play-through the terms demand, g is the proportion of a qualifying stake that counts towards it, RTP is the return assumed of an ordinary slot, and B is whatever is left standing by the time the condition applies. A batch of rounds surrenders part of itself before that point, every round having staked its value and taken the return against it, while a credited sum surrenders nothing at all yet, nothing having gone through the machine. Past break-even the charge exceeds whatever it is charged against, and the free quote settles at nothing rather than below it, nothing being removable beyond what turned up.
The paid side is cost = N × s × (1 − RTP), and it is the figure that makes this bill different from every other ranking in this network. The identical count of rounds at the identical stake, with the reader's own money behind them, hands the margin over once and owes nothing afterwards, there being no credit to turn over and no ceiling to come under. So the two sides are not two readings of one offer. They are one play at two prices, and the distance between them is what the word free is worth on that bout, said as a sum and said again as a count of rounds, because a reader counts in rounds and pays in money.
Read the reckoning downwards and the distance column adds up to the finding. It opens at whatever the paid side has to put in before a round turns, loses whatever the free side gives up that the paid side does not, and closes at the answer, so the bout can be checked without any of it being worked again. A step where both sides move alike leaves the distance reading none, which says the return treats the two the same way there and the distance is made somewhere else.
On a bout whose free half is a demo, both of its own figures are nought and neither one is approximate. Cash has no route out of a demo, so a demo balance showing five hundred pounds settles at nought, and the distance comes out at exactly what buying the rounds costs. Those noughts are findings rather than figures somebody held back. Where a figure really is absent, one of three words takes its place instead. Stated means a condition written out in sentences, which costs something and offers nothing to subtract. Unpublished means a condition written down nowhere whatever. Unpriced means a count published clearly enough, with nothing anywhere putting a value on one of them. None of the three conceals an approximation, and nobody here is credited with a figure they never supplied.
Two figures on every bout belong to this publisher and are stated rather than read. The return both sides are worked at is a general industry figure for an ordinary slot: it is an assumption of this publisher's, it is not read off any title or off anybody who builds one, and a line that spends it says so where it spends it. The worth of one round is the other, and it is spent only where no operator has put a worth on one of its own, nobody publishing a minimum or a maximum for that and no rule setting either. Every bout spending that figure prints whose figure it is. Everything else in a bout was quoted out of an operator's own terms on the day recorded at its foot.
Four duties written by a Great Britain licence come down on the free column of a bout. None of the four comes down on the paid column, because nothing is advanced there for a condition to attach itself to, and that lopsidedness is the argument of the whole bill. Limb 3(a) of Social Responsibility Code 5.1.1 took effect on 19 January 2026 and forbids a holder to ask that bonus funds be played through more than ten times over. Read the play-through term above against that: anything beyond ten times is a term no British holder could have published. Whether a free round counts as bonus funds for the purposes of that limit has not been published in either direction, so this publisher asserts neither reading of it. Statutory Instrument 2025 No. 215, made on 25 February 2025, inserted regulation 5(2), under which no individual may stake more than £5 on a single game cycle of an online slot, falling to £2 under the age of 25. That limit fastens itself to the operating licence rather than to any game, so beyond the licence a lobby offers whatever stake range it pleases with nothing standing over the top of it. Requirement 3C of the remote technical standards obliges a holder to make the rules of a game available before anybody commits money to it. Both quotes above rest on an assumed return rather than a published one, and that duty is the reason an assumption is needed at all out here. Membership of Gamstop Online is a condition of holding the British licence, so the scheme stretches exactly as far as the licence stretches and no further. An offer licensed beyond it sits outside by construction, and a registration somebody has already completed does not reach this offer. Free and confidential help is on the National Gambling Helpline, 0808 8020 133, answering 24 hours a day on every day of the year.
Any condition quoted on a bout appears in the words of whoever published it, and every bout states the day somebody read it. The furthest back of those days on this bill is 22 October 2026. What binds a reader is an operator's own terms, entire, and never a line of this.
1
A count that renews, and why the sum has to be done one day at a time
Every other key in this section names a number of rounds and stops. This one names a rate. That one difference changes the shape of the whole bill, because a rate has no total until somebody says how long it runs, and nothing in a key of this kind says so. A reader arriving here is not asking what a count is worth; they are asking what a day is worth, and then how many days there will be.
There is an answer to the first and this bill gives it. For the second no answer is published anywhere, and what is missing is the finding and not a hole in the working. A promotion renewed each day runs until the cashier stops renewing it, until the terms say it ends, or until the reader stops turning up, and not one of those three has a number attached in advance. So the honest unit here is a day, and the honest finding is a rate.
That has a consequence worth stating plainly before any figures appear. A rate and a sum of money are different kinds of quantity and they do not add together. A page that multiplied a day’s worth by thirty and printed the product as what this key is worth would be publishing a figure whose largest input nobody published, and the figure would look as checkable as the figures on the sibling bills here, which are built out of a count and a stake and nothing else. Checkable it would not be. It would be a guess dressed up as a worked result.
So the structure of this bill is: price one day, twice, as every bill here prices its subject twice; say what the day is worth as a rate; show what runs of various lengths would come to, labelled as illustrations rather than as findings; and name the missing figure where a total would otherwise go. That is less satisfying than a single sum and it is the only version of this page that could survive being checked.

Five rounds a day at ten pence, and the 50p of face it carries
Three numbers are needed and all three are this publisher’s. The daily count is taken at five rounds this bill’s own example, since the key names no count at all and offers of this shape vary. A round is taken at ten pence this bill’s own figure. And the long-run return is taken at 96 per cent, an ordinary industry level belonging to no machine in particular supplied, not read.
On those three, a day’s play comes to 50p of face. Ninety-six pence in the pound of 50p is 48p, so 48p is what the day’s reels give back and 2p is the house share. Both figures are small enough to look trivial and the smallness is itself a finding: a daily count is an arrangement whose daily value is pennies, and whatever makes it worth having is the accumulation rather than the day.
Because the daily count is this bill’s example rather than an offer’s figure, the table below prices three other counts beside it. A reader who finds an offer handing over one round a day can read the first row and a reader who finds twenty can read the last, and the method is identical in every case: the count times the stake gives the face, and the return splits the face into what comes back and what stays.
| Rounds a day | Face a day | Back a day | House share a day |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10p | 9.6p | 0.4p |
| 5 | 50p | 48p | 2p |
| 10 | £1.00 | 96p | 4p |
| 20 | £2.00 | £1.92 | 8p |
The first row is the one that shows how thin a daily arrangement can be. One round a day at ten pence is 9.6p of expected return, which is below a penny of difference from the house share and below anything a cashier would process as a withdrawal. A reader on that offer is being handed something whose daily value cannot be collected on the day, which is a feature of the arrangement rather than an accident of it: a daily count is designed to be accumulated, and accumulating means returning.
Round numbers are easier at five a day and that is why this bill works there. Fifty pence of face, forty-eight pence back, two pence of share, and the figures scale linearly in both the count and the stake. A reader whose rounds are worth twenty pence rather than ten can double every figure above; a reader whose offer hands over ten rounds rather than five can double them again.

The figure this key does not publish, and what is done about it
Six of the nine keys in this section say in terms that nothing is owed on what the rounds win. This one does not. It names a rate and says nothing whatever about staking, which means a reader cannot assume the premise of the section applies, and this bill does not assume it. Nor does it assume the opposite. A count advertised without a staking rule is neither the article whose rules promise no staking at all nor the article demanding forty times, and a banner will not tell the three apart.
The handling of that gap is fixed for the whole domain and was not chosen here. Where no multiple is published, the free column is set on a figure the regulator published instead: a licensee may lawfully demand no more than ten times the sum advanced, which has been so since 19 January 2026 off the rule sheet. Ten times at full weight brings the bracket to six tenths, taking a day’s 48p down to 29p, rounded to the penny from 28.8p, and against 2p of bought cost that gives 31p of distance. Those are the figures printed in the opening instrument, and a ceiling is their only provenance.
Three qualifications travel with them. The ten times is the regulator’s number and never the offer’s: no line here says an operator demands ten times, and what any particular daily offer demands is published nowhere. The 29p is a bound rather than a reading, produced by applying the severest demand the law tolerates and so stripping the most a licence could permit. And the bound runs one way. A smaller multiple, printed, would leave more of the day standing, and the distance wider with it. Step outside that licence and a demand above the ceiling may leave less again. Publish no demand of any kind and the whole 48p stands, with 50p of face as the day’s distance. Thirty-one pence is accordingly the narrow reading of the gap, and narrow is the one direction that cannot leave a reader thinking better of an offer than the figures warrant.
Let the written rules of a particular daily offer put the proceeds into a withdrawable balance with no staking asked, and part two’s figures are the figures, with 48p a day standing. Where the rules state a multiple, the arithmetic of part seven applies and the day is worth a fraction of 48p. Where the rules say nothing at all, no figure for what the day comes to can be printed, the gap column of the instrument reads unpriced, and this bill names the missing quantity instead of filling it.
The key still belongs in this section, and the reason is about the question rather than the answer. These nine keys are the ones where a free round can prove something about a paid one, because the question each of them raises is whether what a count wins is money on the day. A daily count raises exactly that question. It happens to raise it without answering it, which makes this bill the one page in the section that has to show the unanswered form of the sum alongside the answered one.
One sourced boundary is worth putting on the unknown, and it is a boundary that does not bind. Ten times an advance is as far as a staking demand may run where a British licence is in place, which has been so since 19 January 2026 off the rule sheet. Offers behind a key of this shape are regulated anywhere but Great Britain, so that ceiling serves as a scale rather than as a protection: it says what the worst licensed treatment of a balance looks like and says nothing whatever about what this one will do.
That same licence would also make the daily rate itself readable, and its absence shows up as a quantity in the figures above. Before a player commits anything, a licensed game owes them whatever lets them judge the odds, a debt settled by publishing an average theoretical return to player percentage among other permitted forms off the rule sheet, and the missing duty is why the 96 per cent behind 48p speaks for this publisher and not for an operator. Stake inside one game cycle is capped by that licence at five pounds, or two where the player is short of twenty-five off the rule sheet, which makes the ten pence here a fiftieth of the larger figure: a day of five rounds raised to the cap would stake £25.00 in place of 50p. No licensed slot round may follow the one before it inside two and a half seconds off the rule sheet, which floors how slowly a day’s five rounds can be got through and caps nothing at all out here. And every licence Great Britain issues carries membership of the national self-exclusion scheme off the rule sheet, so registering with Gamstop Online shuts the licensed market and leaves a daily offer beyond it untouched.
4
The same five rounds a day bought, and the 2p they cost
Here is the second price, which needs no terms at all and is therefore the firmest figure on the bill. Five rounds at ten pence, funded by the reader, put 50p across the reels and bring 48p back in expectation. The reader is 2p down. Two pence is what a day of this arrangement costs anybody who buys it instead of being given it.
No demand can attach to the proceeds of those five rounds. Nothing was advanced, so there is nothing for a condition to be a condition of, and a win off a reader’s own stake was theirs before it landed. True whatever a cashier’s licence says and whatever its rulebook says, which leaves the paid column of the instrument above as the only column standing without a reading of anybody’s rules.
Two pence a day is a figure worth sitting with for a moment. It means that the entire economic content of a daily count of five rounds, measured as money a reader does not have to spend, is two pence. Over a week it is fourteen pence. Over a year, if the arrangement ran a year, it would be £7.30. Those are the savings. They are not the point of the page and they are worth printing because a reader who thinks a daily count is worth 50p a day is reading the face value as though it were a transfer.
The holding is the other reading and the larger one. Five rounds in a day, with nothing owed, yield 48p of expected withdrawable balance where the saving was 2p, and the gap between that pair of numbers is what these nine keys are about. Forty-eight pence arriving and two pence leaving are 50p apart, and 50p is the face of five rounds at this stake. The cancellation that the sibling bills in this section derive at length holds here too, one day at a time.
50p of face a day across five rounds, 29p of it surviving the regulator’s ceiling and 48p surviving where nothing is owed, against 2p to fund the day, which is five rounds a day and no total at all
5
Why no total is struck here, and which figure is missing
A reader will want a single number and this bill will not supply one. The reason is that the quantity a single number would need is the run of days, and the run of days is published by nobody. It is not published in the key, which names a rate. It is rarely published in the rules, which usually make a daily promotion revocable. And it cannot be derived from anything else on the page, belonging to neither the machine, the stake, the count nor the return.
What can be done honestly is to show what a run would come to if a reader chose its length, and to label every row of that as an illustration. A week of five rounds a day is thirty-five rounds, £3.50 of face, £3.36 handed over where nothing is owed, 14p to buy, and £3.50 of distance. A month taken at thirty days is a hundred and fifty rounds, £15.00 of face, £14.40 handed over, 60p to buy, and £15.00 of distance. A year is one thousand eight hundred and twenty-five rounds, £182.50 of face, £175.20 handed over, £7.30 to buy, and £182.50 of distance. Each of those is this bill’s arithmetic on a run length this bill chose. Apply the regulator’s ceiling to any of them and six tenths of the handed-over column survives: £2.02 on the week, £8.64 on the month, £105.12 on the year.
| Run of days | Rounds in all | Face | Back where nothing is owed | Cost if bought |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 day | 5 | 50p | 48p | 2p |
| 7 days | 35 | £3.50 | £3.36 | 14p |
| 30 days | 150 | £15.00 | £14.40 | 60p |
| 365 days | 1,825 | £182.50 | £175.20 | £7.30 |
Notice what the right-hand pair of columns does across those four rows. The distance between them is always the face, exactly as it is on every other bill in this section, because the cancellation does not care how long the run is: whatever the return pays on the free side it charges on the paid side, and the two add back to the face. So the one thing that can be said about any run length, without knowing the run length, is that the free version of it stands one face value clear of the paid version. The arithmetic is complete and the input is absent.
That is why the finding at the head of this bill is a rate. Five rounds a day is a quantity this bill can stand behind: it is the count, stated as this publisher’s example, and it does not depend on the run of days, on the staking rule, or on the return. A sum of money would depend on all three. A section head collecting findings from these nine bills can add a sum of money to a sum of money and cannot add a rate to either, which is a property of the quantities rather than a failure of this page, and it means this row stands apart from whatever the money rows come to.
6
A practice five a day, which is nought a day without end
A practice lobby offers an unlimited daily count already, so the comparison is sharper here than on the fixed-count bills in this section. A practice round settles nothing with anybody. It takes play money, it returns play money, and no mechanism anywhere converts the second into a payment. A reader can have five practice rounds a day, or five thousand, and the arithmetic is identical.
Put a practice day through the five lines of the instrument above and every line reads nought. Nothing needed first, practice costing nothing. Nought staked, play money not being money. Nought given back, no withdrawable balance existing. Nought taken by any demand, since nought is what a demand would be applied to. And nought as the day’s total, which is exact and is not a missing figure.
So the three arrangements line up like this, and only this section can line them up. A practice day: unlimited, costless, and worth nothing for ever. A bought day: 50p cycled, 2p spent, the proceeds a reader’s own in full. And a given day with nothing owed: nothing spent, 48p expected, and five rounds worth their own face. Of those three, the practice day alone renews without limit, and the practice day alone returns nothing, which is about as neat a statement of this domain’s question as the section manages.
Which explains why the run of days matters more here than a count matters anywhere else in the section. Where a count is fixed, the value lands once and a bill can price it. Here the value lands in pennies, and whether the pennies amount to anything turns on the number of mornings a reader appears, a quantity no cashier states in advance and no publisher may invent.
7
What a daily count must publish before a run of days can be priced
Four things would have to appear in a set of rules before a daily count could be given a total, and a reader can check each of them against an offer. The first is the daily count itself, since the key names none and this bill has assumed five. The second is the value a round stakes, which this bill has assumed at ten pence and which no rule anywhere obliges a cashier to print off the rule sheet. The third is the staking rule, which settles whether a day’s 48p is money or merely a credit. The fourth is the run, and naming that one as absent is why this bill exists.
Beyond those four, three ordinary conditions bear harder on a daily count than on the fixed counts beside it, every one of them because a day is worth so little. A floor under withdrawals is the first and it is decisive: let a cashier refuse to pay out anything beneath ten pounds and a reader on 48p a day accumulates better than three weeks before anything can leave, with the balance sitting in play rather than banked throughout. Second is a deadline on a day’s rounds: rounds expiring at midnight turn the arrangement into a rate that has to be taken on the day, and two mornings missed are two mornings lost with nothing carried forward. Third is a ceiling on what a day may win, and against a 48p expectation even a modest ceiling cuts away the upper tail where a daily count earns its keep.
Then the staking question in the form it usually takes on a daily offer. Where a demand is published, the expression this network uses is E = B × (1 − W × (1 − RTP) ∕ g): B for the balance, W for the multiple, RTP for the return, g for the weight on qualifying play, four letters inside one bracket. Put W at nought and the second term goes, leaving E as B, which is the 48p here read off the terms of such an offer. Put it at ten times with full weight and the bracket reads six tenths, taking 48p down to 28.8p, or 29p to the penny. Put it at twenty-five and the bracket shuts at nought, four lots of four pence coming to a whole pound, so 48p is left at nothing. Where a weighting goes unpublished it is read at full weight here, with the reading printed alongside, that being the most generous available.
One row of that arithmetic deserves a sentence of its own. A ten-times demand on 48p asks for £4.80 across the reels, or forty-eight rounds at ten pence, which is rather more than nine days of the count. A daily offer carrying a staking demand therefore asks a reader to spend nine days of future rounds clearing a single day of proceeds, and at twenty-five times the proceeds are expected gone before the clearing is done. Attach a demand to a daily count and what results is a different arrangement rather than a smaller one, and the rules and not the key settle which of them a reader actually holds.
So the discipline on this bill is narrower than on any other in the section. Three numbers assumed and labelled. One figure named as missing where a total would go. One finding reported as a rate, because a rate is what the key actually fixes. And both prices printed, because a day is a day whether a reader is given it or buys it, and the distance between those two prices is the face of the day’s rounds whatever the return turns out to be.
Questions
- What is a daily count of free rounds actually worth
- Per day rather than in total. Taking five rounds a day as this publisher’s example, ten pence as the price of a round and 96 per cent as the return, a day carries 50p of face and hands 48p over. With no multiple published, a ceiling of ten times out of the rule sheet leaves 29p standing. No total exists at all, the run of days being published nowhere.
- Why will this page not give a single figure for the whole offer
- Because the run of days is the largest input and nobody publishes it. A daily promotion lasts until the cashier stops renewing it or the reader stops appearing, and multiplying a day’s worth by a number this publisher chose would print a guess dressed as a result.
- Does a daily count come with a wagering requirement on it
- The key does not say, so the free column is set on the regulator’s ceiling of ten times, which is a figure out of the rule sheet and not a term out of the offer, and 29p of a day survives it. Where the rules do say the proceeds are withdrawable with no staking asked, the whole 48p stands.
- What do five rounds a day cost a reader who funds them
- 2p a day in expectation. Fifty pence crosses the reels and 48p comes back, so the house share over five results is the whole cost. Fourteen pence over a week, and £7.30 over a year if the arrangement ran a year.
- Why is the finding a rate rather than a sum of money
- Because five rounds a day is the only quantity the key fixes. A sum would depend on the run of days, the staking rule and the return, and a rate depends on none of them. A rate and a sum are unlike quantities and will not add together.
- How much of a day’s 48p would a demand of ten times leave
- 29p, rounded from 28.8p, at full contribution weight, with £4.80 called for across the reels. That is forty-eight rounds, better than nine days of the count. Twenty-five times would leave nothing at all, twenty-five lots of four pence adding up to a pound.
- Which condition hurts a daily count most
- A floor under withdrawals. Accumulating 48p a day takes better than three weeks to reach a ten pound payout minimum, with the balance exposed in play rather than banked for all of it. Rounds expiring at midnight come second.
- How does a practice lobby compare with a daily count
- A practice lobby renews without limit and returns nothing, exactly so. A daily count renews over an unstated run and returns 48p a day where nothing is owed. Of the pair, the practice version alone cannot run out, and it alone is worth nought.
- Is a daily offer of this kind covered by British gambling rules
- No. Offers behind a key of this shape are regulated anywhere but Great Britain, which leaves out any cap of ten times on a staking demand, the limits on what a single game cycle may take, the duty to disclose what a game gives back, and the national self-exclusion scheme.
