Figures read 26 October 2026 Bill U10, first printing
Non Gamstop pay by phone casinos: against 45p paid, 45 free rounds come to £6.48
A count of forty-five at 25p makes a face of £11.25, of which £10.80 lands as balance after four pence in the pound has gone. Ten times demanded of the balance costs £4.32 and £6.48 stands. Forty-five rounds bought at 25p stake £11.25 and return £10.80, costing 45p, and no demand stands behind the winnings, so £6.93 separates the findings and that is 27.72 rounds. No payment route appears anywhere in the formula, which is the shortest way of saying what this page has to say. What a licence adds is a running display of spend and time, and that stops where the licence does.

What the free round comes to £6.48 £10.80 arriving with nothing billed behind it, less the £4.32 that £108.00 of turnover costs to produce. What the paid round comes to minus 45p Forty-five rounds charged for and played out, with no instrument left standing over the result. The gap, in money and in rounds £6.93, 27.72 rounds The space between the two findings, measured out again in quarters.

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.

Forty-five free rounds at a quarter, £11.25 down to £6.48
A round billed to a handset costs 25p on this bill’s assumption, forty-five of them ours, declared, and 96 per cent is the return taken across the trade ours, from no title. Forty-five rounds at a quarter each show a face of £11.25, of which £10.80 lands as balance, four pence in the pound having gone. The face is the cashier’s. The balance belongs to the reader until something is asked of it.
Everything on the free side comes out of E = B × (1 − W × (1 − RTP) ∕ g): B the landed balance, W the multiple pressed upon it, RTP the return assumed, g the qualifying share. At ten times and full weight £10.80 retains £6.48, six tenths of the balance. The missing £4.32 is what £108.00 of turnover costs at a return holding back 4p in each pound.
Ten times the funds advanced is Britain’s ceiling on a wagering requirement, in place since January 2026 rule sheet, claims 58 and 91. Nothing else published puts a figure over a multiple. Ten times is the ceiling of what that licence will allow, so a column resting on it reads at the lowest value a licence allows: £6.48 is a floor, and a demand short of the ceiling leaves more of the £10.80. At twenty-five times the demand asks £270.00 of turnover, costing £10.80, which is the balance exactly.
A cashier billing a round to a handset is authorised somewhere other than Great Britain, and the arithmetic above shows the rail changing nothing. Three duties do the work on this page instead. The ceiling on the multiple, worth the whole £6.48. The requirement that a customer’s net spend and time played stay visible while they play rule sheet, claim 51, which is worth nothing in pence and a great deal in what a reader can see. And the register, which an operator joins because a British licence says so rule sheet, claim 181, and the scheme writes plainly that it has no hold over an operator that never signed up rule sheet, claim 183.
2
The same forty-five charged for, in one subtraction
Forty-five rounds bought at 25p stake £11.25 and return £10.80, costing 45p, and no demand stands behind the winnings. The 45p is everything a 96 per cent return holds back across forty-five quarters. It is spent and finished rather than pending, and nobody has to agree to anything for it to be final.
£6.48 free against 45p paid leaves £6.93, and £6.93 at 25p a round comes to 27.72 rounds. Both halves go on the page because one without the other is a number nobody can read. A free round worth six pounds and a half is generous or trifling depending entirely on what the same count costs, and the same count costs 45p.
£6.93 is a floor below the distance, not a typical measure of it: the largest lawful demand draws the two columns closest, so they are at least that far apart where the ceiling has force. No ceiling has force in the place this key names, so the demand is bounded neither above nor below and the £6.93 stands on a figure this publisher picked and prints.
Carry those forty-five across to a cashier past the register and the 45p has not altered. The return sets it, and a return keeps its margin in any jurisdiction willing to host the game. Every duty on this page bears on the other column, so the free figure is the one that gives way.
forty-five free rounds come to £6.48 under a borrowed ceiling, cost 45p bought, and leave £6.93 between them, or 27.72 rounds at 25p
3
Work the bill twice with two routes and get one answer
Change the billing route and work the bill again: £11.25, £10.80, £4.32, £6.48, 45p. Change it a second time and work it again: the same five figures arrive. There is no term in the expression for the name of a way to pay, so no such name can alter an answer it never enters.
That is worth demonstrating rather than asserting, because the key invites the opposite belief. A reader searching on a billing route is asking a question about access, which is a real question with a real answer somewhere. This publication asks what a free round comes to, and that answer is £6.48 at the ceiling however the account was funded. Two questions, one search phrase, and only one of the two produces a figure.
One qualification, since it is the only way a route touches the sums. A charge or a minimum attached to a route would land in the paid column and not the free one, the rounds having been advanced by the cashier. This bill prices no such charge, no figure for one being published anywhere rule sheet, claim 159, and it names the gap instead.
A second qualification, and it cuts the other way. One bar on the licensed side concerns where money comes from rather than which button carries it, and it is the credit-card bar at claims 21 and 22 of the rule sheet rule sheet, as cited. It is absent beyond that licence, and naming the consequence is where a page of arithmetic stops.
4
What a licence keeps on the screen while the play goes on
What a licence does put on a screen matters more to a reader than any of that, and the next two parts are about it. A licensee has had to keep a customer’s running spend and the minutes they have played visible while the play goes on, a duty live since 17 January 2025 rule sheet, claim 51. The same package barred arrangements built by an operator for running several products at the same time.
| What has to be there | When it arrived | Worth to the £6.48 |
|---|---|---|
| running spend, while playing | January 2025 | nothing |
| minutes played, while playing | January 2025 | nothing |
| no operator-built parallel play | January 2025 | nothing |
| a prompted financial limit | no date on the standard | nothing |
Four rows and four noughts in the last column, which is the whole reason for printing it. None of the four changes what a free round comes to. All four change what a reader knows while the round is happening, and the difference between a figure and a visible figure is not a small one on a page whose subject is figures.
The fourth row carries its own caution. The financial limit rules say when a prompt must come, what the facility must look like, which periods must be offered and how fast a change takes effect rule sheet, claims 23 to 31, and the standard itself states no implementation date for the requirement as a whole rule sheet, claim 24. So the table says what it can and leaves the date blank rather than inventing one.
Set the four rows against the register and what comes out is the shape this section keeps arriving at. Each of them is a thing somebody is obliged to do, each of them is obliged by a licence, and the obligation and the licence end at the same point. Somebody who has put their name on the national register asked for the licensed market to be closed to them, and a licence is the instrument that makes the request bite.
5
£108.00 of turnover, read as rounds and read as minutes
Set the display against the demand on this bill and the pairing is exact. A ten-times demand on £10.80 calls for £108.00 of turnover, which is 432 rounds at 25p. At the 2.5 seconds Britain puts between one slot cycle and the next, 432 rounds take eighteen minutes at the least rule sheet, claim 107.
| Read as | The figure |
|---|---|
| turnover owed | £108.00 |
| rounds at a quarter | 432 |
| least duration under a floor | 18 minutes |
| expected cost of producing it | £4.32 |
So on the licensed side a reader clearing that demand would watch eighteen minutes and £108.00 accumulate on a running display built for the purpose. Away from that licence the eighteen minutes has no floor under it, the £108.00 has no display beside it, and the £6.48 at the end of it has no ceiling over it.
One more pairing, since this key invites it. A reader funding an account a round at a time has a clearer view of the money than one funding it in a single sum, and that is the only respect in which a billing arrangement touches anything on this page. It bears on visibility and not on value. The value is £6.48 at the ceiling and 45p bought, and those two figures were settled before any question about funding arose.
Three absences in one sentence is unusual and the arithmetic earns it. The floor sets the least time. The display shows the accumulation. The ceiling bounds the demand. Remove the first and eighteen minutes becomes any shorter interval the machine allows. Remove the second and the turnover accumulates unseen. Remove the third and the £6.48 at the end of it is unbounded below.
One further reading of the eighteen minutes, since the figure does two jobs at once. As a duration it is what a demand costs in a reader’s evening. As a count it is 432 decisions, each one taken separately because a British licence requires a deliberate act at every cycle. Four hundred and thirty-two is a large number of decisions to take about one balance, and the arithmetic says nothing about how a person feels by the four hundredth. That is the honest edge of what a page like this can reach, and it is worth marking rather than stepping over.
Everything else on this bill is arithmetic a reader can redo. A count and a stake give the face. The return gives the balance. The multiple gives the demand’s cost. The return gives the purchase price as well. Four steps, five figures, and one of the inputs borrowed from a rulebook that does not reach the cashier the key names.
Be precise about what the last of the three means. Unbounded is not the same as small. It means that nothing published fixes where the figure lands, so a page that printed a single expected number would be inventing the one quantity it does not have. What this bill prints instead is the top of the range, the point at which the range reaches nought, and a note saying which figure is missing.
6
How the offer arrived, and the consent it needed on one side
How the offer arrived is the second thing a licence governs and the third thing that changes nothing in the sum. Direct electronic marketing needs a customer’s informed and specific consent, and from 1 May 2025 that consent is given separately for each product and each channel rule sheet, claims 50 and 81.
The date on that rule moved once during its making and the earlier one is wrong, so this page prints May 2025 and not the January date the first draft carried rule sheet, claim 50. A reader checking the claim will find the change recorded, which is what makes checking a page worth the trouble.
A free round is a marketing instrument before it is anything else, so the rule about how it reaches somebody and the rule about what it is worth are two halves of one subject. This bill prices the second half. The first half is a duty and it stops at the same boundary as the rest of them.
Two more duties belong on the same half of the subject. The significant conditions of a promotion travel with the offer rather than behind it, and the regulator’s own worked list names eligibility, the requirement, the time limit and the bet type rule sheet, claims 61 and 62. No offer may be called free if money has to go in to qualify for it rule sheet, claim 60. Each of those is a term this offer carries, and none of them changes £6.48 by a penny.
7
The weighting, the emptying point, and nought on both sides
A weighting of 30p in the pound turns £108.00 of owed contribution into £360.00 of turnover, costing £14.40 against a balance of £10.80 rule sheet, claim 96. That demand overruns the balance, so the result is nought, and nothing has gone near the ceiling at all. Since nothing prints a weighting, g is one, and that assumption is named wherever it gets spent.
| The demand | Turnover it wants | Left of £10.80 |
|---|---|---|
| ten times, full weight | £108.00 | £6.48 |
| twenty times, full weight | £216.00 | £2.16 |
| twenty-five times, full weight | £270.00 | nothing |
| ten times, 30p weighting | £360.00 | nothing |
Read the turnover column as minutes and the table says something the money alone does not. £216.00 is 864 rounds and thirty-six minutes at a British floor. £270.00 is 1,080 rounds and forty-five minutes. £360.00 is 1,440 rounds and a full hour. A demand is a quantity of time before it is a quantity of money, and the time is the part a reader spends.
A last word on the eighteen minutes, because it is the figure on this page a reader is most likely to carry away. It is a least duration and not a usual one. A reader who stops after ten minutes has cleared less than the demand asks, and a reader who takes an hour has cleared it and gone on. The floor says only that nobody can be made to finish faster.
Take the floor away and the eighteen minutes becomes whatever the machine permits, which this bill does not state because nobody publishes it. What can be said is that a least duration is a protection of a particular kind: it does not reduce a cost, it slows the arrival of one, and slowing it is what gives a reader room to stop.
Nought and nought for a demo. No route takes money off a demo, so the display is not a balance in any useful sense. A demo leaves nought at every entry of the free column, and the distance stands at 45p. Those two noughts are the only figures on this site that need no assumption behind them at all.
8
The figures, and the screen that is no longer there
One objection deserves meeting, since a reader may raise it. An offer can rule a funding method out of qualifying, and where it does, a reader using that method cannot claim the rounds at all. That is a condition on who gets the offer rather than a quantity inside it. It puts the £6.48 out of one reader’s reach and leaves the figure itself untouched, and only the second of those two things is something arithmetic can settle.
A funding method ruled out of an offer is one of the terms an advertisement is supposed to set beside its headline rather than bury, and a published ruling has turned on one sitting in the small print instead rule sheet, claims 62 and 66. That duty of prominence is one more entry on the list of things ending where the licence ends, and like the rest of them it leaves £6.48 and 45p exactly where they were.
Collected: a face of £11.25, £10.80 of balance, £4.32 for a ten-times demand, £6.48 standing free, 45p of expected cost, £6.93 of distance, 27.72 rounds. Behind them £108.00 of turnover, 432 rounds, eighteen minutes at a British floor, £270.00 where the balance empties, and £360.00 once a 30p weighting is applied.
Two more figures for a reader who wants the shape rather than the pounds. Double the count to ninety and the face becomes £22.50, the balance £21.60, the demand’s cost £8.64 and the free side £12.96 against 90p bought, £13.86 apart. Halve it to twenty-two and a half and every line halves with it. Each figure moves with the count in exact step, which is what makes a single per-round number enough to read an offer of this shape by.
And one figure for the shape of an hour, since this page has made time its subject. At the 2.5 seconds a British floor puts under a cycle, an hour holds 1,440 rounds at most, which at a quarter each turns over £360.00 and costs £14.40 in expectation. That £14.40 is the largest an hour of this stake can cost on a licensed machine, and it is also exactly what the 30p weighting above would have asked of a £10.80 balance. The coincidence is arithmetic rather than meaning, and it is worth noticing because it sets two quite different quantities at the same number.
Per round the distance comes to 15.4p, or 61.6 pence out of every pound staked, and that figure is what carries across to a different count. Ninety rounds would double every line. Twenty-two and a half would halve them. Change the stake and the pounds move while the proportion sits still.
What the section asks, and what this key answers. Forty-five free rounds stand higher where that ceiling is a rule than where this bill has had to borrow it, and the purchase is 45p regardless. The addition this key makes is the screen: a licence keeps the spend and the minutes in front of a player while a demand is being cleared, and no payment route anywhere alters a single figure on either side.
The absences, each sourced: a ceiling of ten times over the demand; net spend kept visible during play; time played kept visible during play; no arrangement built by an operator for running products in parallel; a prompted financial limit presented as the default; consent to direct electronic marketing, given by product and by channel; significant conditions carried with the offer; an offer that cannot be called free once money must go in; a credit card not accepted for gambling at all; identity settled before any play, bonus-funded play included rule sheet, claim 18; and the register itself. Nothing there is a thing to be worked round and no attempt appears above. Two figures to keep: £6.48 against 45p, and eighteen minutes.
Questions
- Forty-five free rounds beyond the register: what do they come to
- At least £6.48 where a licence sets the limit, and no limit set beyond it. A face of £11.25 at 25p a round lands £10.80 of balance at the return this page assumes, and a ten-times demand costs £4.32, with twenty-five times taking the balance outright.
- What do the same forty-five rounds cost when charged for
- 45p in expectation. £11.25 is staked, £10.80 comes back, and the 45p is the whole margin across forty-five quarters. It is spent rather than pending, and no cashier anywhere changes it.
- Does the way a round is paid for change what it is worth
- It does not. Work the bill with one route and the figures are £11.25, £10.80, £4.32, £6.48 and 45p. Work it with another and the same five arrive. The expression has no term for the name of a way to pay.
- What does a licence put on the screen that is missing otherwise
- A customer’s running spend and the minutes they have played, kept visible while the play goes on, a duty live since 17 January 2025. The same package barred arrangements built by an operator for running several products at once.
- A ten-times demand on £10.80: how long does it take
- Eighteen minutes at the very least on a licensed slot. The demand calls for £108.00 of turnover, which is 432 rounds at a quarter each, and with 2.5 seconds between cycles 432 rounds take 1,080 seconds. Without the floor there is no least duration at all.
- What consent does a marketing message need
- A customer’s informed and specific consent, given separately for each product and for each channel from 1 May 2025 onwards. The date moved once while the rule was being made, so the earlier January date is the wrong one to quote.
- Does the £6.48 survive a weighting under full value
- It does not. A weighting of 30p in the pound turns £108.00 of owed contribution into £360.00 of turnover, costing £14.40 against a balance of £10.80, so the result is nought.
- Forty-five rounds in a demo, same stake assumed
- Nought and nought. No route takes money off a demo, so the display is not a balance in any useful sense. A demo leaves nought at every entry of the free column, and the distance stands at 45p.
