A bonus of 150 free spins with no deposit is, on the face of it, a free trial of a slot machine. The reality is more layered: every operator offering this promotion to players in Great Britain must hold a Gambling Commission licence, the winnings ride through a wagering requirement capped at 10x since 19 December 2025, and most operators apply a maximum-win cap that limits what any “free” trial can ever be worth. The page below walks through that arithmetic, the legal frame that holds the offer in place, and the ten Gambling Commission-licensed operators whose public register entries were checked on 23 September 2026. The angle is cost: what does this promotion actually run a player, in time and in expected loss, once the small print is read.

Data current as of 23 September 2026, checked against the Gambling Commission’s public register of gambling businesses.

Why “no deposit” still has a price

A no-deposit spin credit looks free because no money leaves the player’s account at the moment the spins land. It is not free in the wider sense: the operator funds the spins, recovers that cost from a built-in margin on the slot, and clips winnings through a wagering requirement and usually a maximum cashout cap. The three mechanics that decide what the offer is worth to a player are the wagering multiplier, the game-cycle stake at which the wagering is run, and the maximum amount that can ever be withdrawn from the offer.

The first of those, the wagering multiplier, has been capped by the Gambling Commission. Since 19 December 2025, wagering requirements on any casino bonus offered to UK players cannot exceed 10x the bonus amount. Free-spin winnings count as a bonus, so the same cap applies to a 150 free spins offer. Before that date, offers in the 30x–65x bracket were still common; the rule change is the most consequential shift in the UK bonus market since the credit-card ban of 14 April 2020.

The second mechanic, the stake at which the wagering runs, is set by the slot itself. The game cycle is the technical term for a single spin end-to-end, and the Gambling Commission’s stake limits apply to that cycle. Since 9 April 2025 the maximum stake per game cycle is £5 for players aged 25 and over, and since 21 May 2025 it is £2 for 18-24-year-olds. A free-spin wagering requirement run at the lower stake takes longer to clear and exposes the player to more game cycles, which is where expected loss is built up.

The third mechanic, the maximum cashout, sits in the operator’s own terms rather than in statute. Many no-deposit spin offers carry a ceiling — £50, £100, occasionally higher — on what can ever be withdrawn from bonus winnings. The ceiling does not appear on the offer card, and a player who lands a five-figure hit from a free spin will frequently find the withdrawal limited to the published cap. The combination of a 10x wagering cap, the slot’s stake, and the operator’s cashout ceiling is the offer’s true cost.

The arithmetic behind “150 free spins no deposit”

A worked example, with every figure taken from the rules above rather than from any single operator’s terms:

• Bonus credited: winnings from 150 free spins, assume the offer’s cap lets them build to roughly £15 in bonus funds after the spins run.
• Wagering requirement: 10x the bonus under the December 2025 cap, so £150 must be turned over before any withdrawal is permitted.
• Game cycle stake: £2, the legal ceiling for an 18-24-year-old under the May 2025 rule.
• Number of game cycles to clear the wagering: £150 ÷ £2 = 75 spins.
• Time to clear: at the slot’s minimum spin interval of 2.5 seconds, 75 spins take 187.5 seconds — under three minutes. Realistically, with button presses and the operator’s mandatory reality-check pop-ups, the practical session runs closer to 15-20 minutes.
• Expected loss: 75 spins × £2 × (1 − 96%) = £6. This assumes a 96% RTP, the industry-standard figure for mainstream UK-licensed online slots; the actual figure on the slot carrying the free spins is published in the game’s help screen.

The same exercise run at the older £5 stake ceiling — the legal maximum for a player aged 25 or over — produces £150 ÷ £5 = 30 spins, an expected loss of 30 × £5 × (1 − 96%) = £6. The expected loss is identical, because doubling the stake halves the spin count: the two routes to clearing the wagering cost roughly the same in expectation, and what differs is the time and the texture of the session.

The figure to watch is therefore the expected loss, not the spin count. The wagering cap of 10x holds that loss to roughly 4% of the bonus value at a 96% RTP. On a £15 bonus the player is statistically handing back about £6 to clear the requirement; on a £50 bonus, about £20; on a £100 bonus, about £40. The arithmetic scales linearly with the bonus, because the stake-per-spin is fixed by statute and the multiplier is fixed at 10x.

A point the worked example leaves out: many no-deposit spin offers do not pay out the spin value as cash. They pay out bonus funds subject to the wagering requirement AND a maximum cashout ceiling. Where the ceiling is, say, £50, a bonus that runs to £60 in wagering funds can never be withdrawn for more than £50 even after the wagering clears. The cap on winnings is, in practice, the cap on what the offer can ever pay a player.

The legal frame that makes the offer possible

What a Gambling Commission licence actually covers

The Gambling Commission, sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, regulates gambling in Great Britain under the Gambling Act 2005. Northern Ireland sits under separate legislation and is outside the Commission’s remit. For online casino play, an operator needs a remote operating licence — specifically, the remote casino operating licence type that appears on the public register. Since the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014, the test is the customer, not the operator’s address: any operator taking customers in Great Britain needs a Commission licence wherever it is based. A Curaçao, Maltese or Gibraltar licence is not a substitute, and a brand that holds one of those but no Commission licence cannot legally offer 150 free spins to a player in Britain.

The Commission’s public register is the practical test of whether a brand holds a licence. On 23 September 2026 the register listed 139 businesses holding an active remote casino operating licence. Each entry carries an account number, a licence number, and a list of domains registered against that licence. The licence number follows the form account-R-number-suffix, where the leading six digits repeat the licence holder’s account number and the “R” marks a remote (online) licence. The suffix increments each time a new licence condition is issued under the same account.

A player can verify any brand in two clicks: search the register, confirm the domain is listed as Active, and read the licence number on the operator’s own site to confirm it matches. If the domain appears as White Label rather than Active, the brand trades under another company’s licence — the licence holder is the company named at the top of the register entry, not the brand painted across the website. White-label arrangements are common in the UK and are not a red flag by themselves, but the licence holder is the entity that owes the player the regulatory protections.

What the licence buys a player

The licence is not a marketing badge. It buys three things the player could not otherwise enforce:

• A mandatory GAMSTOP integration, so a player who has self-excluded through the national scheme cannot open an account or claim an offer. GAMSTOP has been a condition of every online licence since 31 March 2020; self-exclusion periods run for six months, one year or five years, and cannot be cancelled early.
• A Commission complaints route. A dispute that the operator’s own customer service cannot resolve can be escalated to an approved Alternative Dispute Resolution provider, and from there to the Commission. An unlicensed site has no such route.
• Mandatory safer-gambling tools. The Commission’s Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice require operators to prompt a customer to set a financial limit before the first deposit (in force from 31 October 2025), to run a financial vulnerability check at £150 of net deposits in a rolling 30-day window (in force from 28 February 2025), and to apply a mandatory reality check at intervals during a slot session. A player on a free-spin offer is in a slot session, so the reality-check rule applies.

The credit card ban and what it means for funding the bonus

Since 14 April 2020 the Gambling Commission has banned the use of credit cards to fund any gambling in Great Britain, online or offline. The ban extends to credit cards routed through e-wallets, which means a digital wallet funded from a credit card cannot be used to deposit at a UK-licensed casino. Debit cards and bank transfers are unaffected. The Commission estimated that around 800,000 UK consumers used credit cards to gamble in 2018, and that 22% of online gamblers who used credit cards to gamble were classed as problem gamblers — that finding was the evidence base for the ban.

For a 150 free spins no-deposit offer the credit-card rule is mostly invisible, because no deposit is taken at the point the spins are credited. It bites when the player wants to fund further play: the deposit that follows the free spins must come from a debit card, a bank transfer, or an e-wallet funded from a debit card or bank account. The rule does not stop a player from spending; it stops one specific route.

What a UK-licensed offer looks like in practice

The verification step that runs before the first spin

No-deposit is not no-checks. Every Gambling Commission-licensed operator has run name, address and date-of-birth verification since 7 May 2019, and that verification has to clear before the first deposit or any real-money play. A 150 free spins offer is treated as a real-money promotion — winnings, once converted to cash, come from the operator — so the same verification applies. The operator runs the player’s details against public databases, against GAMSTOP, and against its own self-exclusion register. A player who fails any of those checks cannot claim the offer.

This is why an unlicensed site offering “150 free spins, no deposit, no verification” is not a better deal. It is a different product, sold by an operator that has no Commission oversight, no GAMSTOP integration, no ADR route, and no enforceable safer-gambling controls. The player has no protection if the operator refuses to pay out winnings, and the Commission cannot compel payment.

The terms that decide what the spins pay

A 150 free spins offer at a UK-licensed operator will carry, at minimum, three sets of terms:

• The slot. The free spins are tied to a specific game, usually a high-profile title where the operator has negotiated a promotional rate with the studio. The game’s RTP, set by the studio, sits in the 94%-96.5% band for mainstream UK-licensed slots. The player cannot choose the slot.
• The stake. The free spins run at a fixed stake, usually the slot’s minimum of 10p or 20p. This is the stake that produces the bonus fund; the wagering requirement runs at the player’s stake, not the free-spin stake.
• The conversion. Bonus funds are credited once the free spins complete. From there the terms state the wagering requirement (capped at 10x), the maximum cashout ceiling, and the expiry window. An expiry window of 7 days is common; 30 days is generous; anything shorter than 72 hours is hostile.

A reader who reads the small print before claiming will know the offer’s true ceiling. A reader who reads it after landing a sizeable hit will know it too late.

The win cap and why it matters

The maximum cashout cap is the single most consequential number on a no-deposit spin offer, and it is the one a player is least likely to know in advance. A 150 free spin offer at, say, 10p per spin pays a maximum of £15 in spin value before the wagering requirement kicks in. After the wagering clears, the operator’s cashout ceiling applies. Where the ceiling is £50, the player can withdraw £50 even if the wagering produced £60 in clear funds; the remaining £10 is forfeit. Where the ceiling is £100, the same math produces a £100 withdrawal. Where there is no ceiling, the full cleared amount can be withdrawn — but no ceiling at all is rare on no-deposit offers.

The cap is not in statute; it is in the operator’s terms. The Commission does not prohibit a cap, only an excessive one, and the boundary moves with the bonus size. A reader who wants to know the cap on a particular brand needs to read the bonus terms before claiming, not after.

Responsible gambling around a free-spin offer

GAMSTOP and what self-exclusion means for a no-deposit offer

GAMSTOP is the national online self-exclusion scheme. It is mandatory for every GB-licensed online operator, and it covers every product the operator offers — slots, table games, sports, free spins, the lot. A player who has registered with GAMSTOP for six months, one year or five years cannot open an account at any GB-licensed operator during that period, and cannot claim any promotion that operator runs. A self-exclusion that cannot be cancelled early means what it says: there is no cooling-off, no fee, no customer-service override.

For a player considering a 150 free spins offer, the GAMSTOP check is the first check. A player who has self-excluded does not need to weigh the wagering requirement or the cashout cap; the offer is not available to them, and trying to claim it from a different name or address is a breach of the self-exclusion agreement. The scheme exists for a reason, and the offer is not a loophole in it.

The financial vulnerability check

Since 28 February 2025, GB-licensed operators run a financial vulnerability check at £150 of net deposits in any rolling 30-day window. The check uses publicly available data — no credit-file pull, no income verification — to flag markers such as a county court judgment or a persistent arrears pattern. Where the check returns a flag, the operator must run a wider assessment before accepting further deposits.

The threshold sits below the typical first-deposit ceiling at most GB-licensed operators, which is why the check is more visible than its headline number suggests. A player who has deposited £150 in 30 days will see the check run; the offer’s free spins do not affect the trigger, because the trigger counts deposits rather than bonus activity.

Reality checks and the 2.5-second spin rule

Since 31 October 2021, GB-licensed slot games have run on a 2.5-second minimum spin cycle, auto-play is banned, and losses disguised as wins are banned. A reality check — a pop-up showing time spent and net position — fires at intervals set by the operator, typically every 30 minutes. The check cannot be dismissed instantly; it has to be acknowledged.

For a 150 free spins offer, the rules mean the offer is a slot session: a 2.5-second-per-spin grind, reality checks at intervals, no auto-play. A player who wanted to clear the wagering requirement in 75 spins at £2 per spin has, as the worked example showed, a session measured in minutes rather than hours — but the structure of the session is the same as any other slot session, with the same checks and the same safer-gambling scaffolding.

Payments and withdrawals once the wagering clears

What the player can use to deposit

GB-licensed operators accept debit cards, bank transfers and a set of approved e-wallets. The credit card ban of 14 April 2020 closed one route; everything else stays open. Apple Pay is in wide use at UK-licensed casinos for the deposit leg, because Apple Pay runs from a debit card or a pre-loaded wallet and is treated by the operator as a debit-card deposit. The wallet tokenises the underlying card — the actual card number is replaced by a device-specific tokenised Device Primary Account Number, with a dynamic security code generated per transaction — so the casino never sees the player’s card number. Apple Pay launched on 20 October 2014, initially supporting only US-issued payment cards, and began supporting UK-issued cards on 14 July 2015.

For a no-deposit offer the deposit channel matters only after the offer clears. A player who has won £50 of cashable bonus funds and wants to withdraw will move the £50 to a bank account through the operator’s withdrawal route. The withdrawal route is almost always the same as the deposit route in reverse — debit card, bank transfer, e-wallet — and not every route is available for withdrawal. Apple Pay, for instance, is deposit-only at most operators; a player who deposited through Apple Pay will withdraw through a bank transfer.

Bank transfers and Faster Payments

UK bank transfers within the licensed casino space typically run through the Faster Payments Service, launched in 2008 and operated by Pay.UK. Faster Payments runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and most payments arrive instantly or within a couple of minutes, though transfers can occasionally take up to two hours. The Faster Payments scheme sets a £1,000,000 per-transaction limit, though individual banks can and do impose lower limits on their customers. The Bank of England oversees the system’s safety and stability and provides final settlement, but is not a direct participant.

For a casino withdrawal, Faster Payments means a £50 cashout from a cleared bonus typically arrives in the player’s bank account in minutes. The operator’s own processing time sits ahead of the bank transfer — the operator has to approve the withdrawal, run its own anti-money-laundering checks, and release the funds — and that processing window is what the player actually waits on. Operators in the GB-licensed space advertise withdrawal windows ranging from instant to 48 hours; the bank transfer leg is rarely the bottleneck.

Where the money actually goes

A 150 free spins offer that clears wagering at, say, £50 will land £50 in the player’s withdrawable balance. From there, the player requests a withdrawal through the operator’s cashier; the operator runs its checks, approves the withdrawal, and pushes the funds to the player’s nominated account. The withdrawal is paid in pounds sterling, and the player pays no tax on gambling winnings in the UK.

Operators pay Remote Gaming Duty to HMRC on their gross gaming yield. The duty was raised from 21% to 40% from 1 April 2026, and the operator cannot recover that cost from the player — the player pays no tax on winnings, only on other income. The duty rise is a fiscal change for the operator, not for the player, but it sits in the background of every offer the operator funds: a 40% duty on yield shapes which bonuses an operator is willing to run, because every pound of bonus is a pound of yield the operator does not keep.

The ten licensed operators on the register

The table below lists ten GB-licensed remote casino operators from the Gambling Commission’s public register, each verified on 23 September 2026. The columns are: brand name; licence holder and GB remote casino licence number; domain status on the register; and whether the public register’s own data carries a marker for this specific 150 free spins no-deposit offer. A “—” in the final column means the register does not carry that information for the brand, which is the honest reading: the public register confirms a brand holds a licence and runs a domain, and nothing more. The bonus-specific offer is the operator’s own commercial decision, not a register fact.

The table is a snapshot of the register, not a ranking. Several of the brands above share a parent group, and three — Ladbrokes, Coral and Gala Bingo — sit under LC International Limited, the same account that holds Coral’s licence. That kind of overlap does not weaken the licence; it means the player is dealing with a single regulated entity across multiple brand fronts.

What the register confirms and what it does not

Each row above is a confirmation of two things: the brand holds a GB remote casino operating licence, and the domain listed against that licence is Active on 23 September 2026. The register does not confirm the brand is running a 150 free spins no-deposit offer today, nor the terms of any offer it does run. Those are commercial decisions the operator makes on its own site, and the player reads them in the bonus terms before claiming.

The register also does not rank operators. Two brands with the same licence type and the same domain status are not, from the register’s perspective, equal: one may offer a more generous bonus, one may have a faster withdrawal, one may carry a more demanding wagering requirement. The register is the licence test, and the rest is the operator’s own track record. A player who treats the register as a ranking will get the licence test right and the commercial test wrong.

PokerStars — Stars Interactive Limited (account 39108)

Stars Interactive Limited holds the active remote casino operating licence 039108-R-319334-026, and Pokerstars.uk is an active domain. The parent group runs a poker-first product and a casino product that sits inside the same wallet, allowing a player moving from poker to slots to carry one balance and one verification across both. For a no-deposit spin offer, the relevant facts are the current licence, the active domain status, and mandatory GAMSTOP integration. The brand’s commercial offer sits on its own site.

Betfred — Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited (account 39544)

Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited holds the active remote casino operating licence 039544-R-319290-010, and Betfred.com is an active domain. The brand is part of a larger UK retail gambling group, and the remote casino licence covers the online product alongside the shop network. Players who find this promotion active will see terms including a slot choice, a stake, a 10x wagering cap, a cashout limit, and an expiry window — all of which must be confirmed in the site’s bonus documentation.

Betfair — PPB Games Limited (account 39411)

PPB Games Limited holds the active remote casino operating licence 039411-R-319335-010, and Betfair.com is an active domain. The brand runs an exchange product alongside its casino product, and the casino side carries this licence. Wagering caps and safer-gambling safeguards always apply to promotional credits here, so verify the exact rules before proceeding.

bet365 — Hillside (UK Gaming) ENC (account 55149)

Hillside (UK Gaming) ENC holds the active remote casino operating licence 055149-R-331499-004, and Bet365.com is an active domain. The brand is one of the largest GB-licensed operators, and the remote casino licence covers a wide slot catalogue. Any no-deposit offer, if active, will clearly outline its slot selection, stake limits, wagering cap, and cashout maximums.

Unibet — Platinum Gaming Limited (account 45322)

Platinum Gaming Limited holds the active remote casino operating licence 045322-R-324275-019, with unibet.co.uk verified as an active domain. The brand sits inside a wider European gaming group, and the GB remote casino licence is the licence that covers UK customers. The standard no-deposit offer terms shape applies here, and the cashout ceiling is always listed in the bonus terms.

Coral — LC International Limited (account 54743)

LC International Limited holds the active remote casino operating licence 054743-R-330863-014, and coral.co.uk is an active domain. The same LC International account covers Ladbrokes and Gala Bingo, meaning a self-exclusion from one covers all three. A no-deposit spin offer at Coral sits inside this shared licence and GAMSTOP integration. The licence number on the bonus terms should match the one listed here.

Casumo — Recro Limited (account 61549)

Recro Limited holds the active remote casino operating licence 061549-R-336718-002, with Casumo.com listed on the public register as an active domain. The brand’s product sits on a single-wallet model across casino and live casino, and the licence above covers both. A no-deposit spin offer at Casumo follows the standard terms shape. The player reads the cashout ceiling and the expiry window before claiming, because the bonus value of 150 free spins is mostly determined by those two numbers rather than by the spin count itself.

888casino — 888 UK Limited (account 39028)

888 UK Limited holds the active remote casino operating licence 039028-R-319297-014, and 888casino is an active domain. The brand runs a casino-led product with a long-standing UK customer base. When a no-deposit spin promotion is live, it includes terms covering the slot title and a 10x wagering cap on any resulting bonus funds.

kwiff — Eaton Gate Gaming Limited (account 44448)

Eaton Gate Gaming Limited holds the active remote casino operating licence 044448-R-323408-017, with Kwiff.com listed on the public register as an active domain. The brand is a smaller GB-licensed operator, but the licence type is consistent with the rest of this table. Should a no-deposit spin offer be available, always consult the operator’s site for the current cashout ceiling.

Midnite — Dribble Media Limited (account 42647)

Dribble Media Limited holds the active remote casino operating licence 042647-R-321653-022, with Midnite.com listed on the public register as an active domain. The brand is a newer GB-licensed operator. A no-deposit spin offer at Midnite follows the standard terms shape, and the player reads the wagering requirement and the cashout ceiling before claiming.

The reader who actually benefits from this offer

The arithmetic above is honest, and it points to a particular reader. A 150 free spins no-deposit offer is a reasonable product for a player who wants to try a slot on a GB-licensed site without funding an account first, and who reads the bonus terms before claiming. It is a poor product for a player who treats the offer as a route to a payout: the 10x wagering cap, the £2 or £5 game-cycle stake, and the operator’s cashout ceiling combine to limit what the offer can ever pay, and a player who runs the offer without understanding that combination will read the small print too late.

The offer is also a poor product for a player who is self-excluded. GAMSTOP blocks the offer; trying to claim it from a different name or address is a breach of the self-exclusion agreement. The offer is not a route around the scheme.

The offer is not for a player who wants a high-value bonus. The 10x wagering cap and the cashout ceiling keep the upside bounded. A deposit bonus at the same operator, with the same wagering cap, will typically allow a higher cashout ceiling — and a player chasing value will usually do better on the deposit side than on the no-deposit side.

For the right reader — the curious player who wants to see how a particular slot plays, who reads the terms, who is not self-excluded, and who is comfortable with the offer’s ceiling — the 150 free spins no-deposit product is what it says: a no-cost trial with a bounded upside and a transparent cost. The arithmetic above is the cost.

Reading the register for yourself

The Gambling Commission’s public register is open and downloadable. A player who wants to verify any of the brands above searches the register, confirms the licence number matches the one on the operator’s own site, and reads the domain status. The register is not a marketing document and it is not a ranking; it is a list of who holds a licence and which domains run under it.

The register also lists businesses that hold an active licence but do not currently run an active domain. A player searching for a brand that does not appear as Active is looking at a brand whose online presence is dormant, white-labelled, or routed through a different licence account. The register does not say which of those applies; the operator’s own site does.

The Commission’s wider role sits behind the register. It receives complaints, runs compliance assessments, and can revoke a licence where the operator fails to meet its conditions. A player who has exhausted an operator’s own customer-service route can escalate through an approved ADR provider, and from there to the Commission. An unlicensed site offers no such route.

Frequently asked questions

What does 150 free spins with no deposit actually mean?

It means the operator credits 150 free rounds on a named slot to a player’s account without taking a deposit first. The spin value is fixed by the operator, usually 10p or 20p per spin, and the winnings are paid as bonus funds subject to a wagering requirement — capped at 10x since 19 December 2025 — and usually a maximum cashout ceiling. No deposit is taken at the point the spins are credited, but a deposit is required if the player wants to withdraw winnings after the wagering clears.

Are there wagering requirements on winnings from 150 free spins?

Yes. The Gambling Commission capped wagering requirements on UK casino bonuses at 10x the bonus amount from 19 December 2025, and free-spin winnings count as a bonus. So if the 150 free spins produce £15 in bonus funds, the player must turn over £150 in wagers — at the slot’s stake, capped at £2 for 18-24-year-olds and £5 for 25 and over — before any withdrawal is permitted. The exact multiple and the exact stake appear in the bonus terms.

Is there a maximum win cap on 150 no-deposit free spins?

Usually. The maximum cashout cap is an operator-level term, not a Commission rule, and most no-deposit spin offers carry a ceiling — typically £50, £100, or in some cases higher — on what can ever be withdrawn from bonus winnings. The cap sits in the bonus terms, and a player should read it before claiming. The cap does not apply once the player has moved past the bonus into a cash balance funded by their own deposits.

Does GAMSTOP self-exclusion cover a 150 free spins offer?

Yes. GAMSTOP is mandatory for every GB-licensed online operator and covers every product the operator offers — slots, table games, sports, free spins. A player registered with GAMSTOP cannot open an account at any GB-licensed operator for the period of the registration — six months, one year or five years — and cannot claim any promotion that operator runs. The registration cannot be cancelled early, and trying to claim from a different name or address is a breach of the self-exclusion agreement.

How long do 150 no-deposit free spins stay valid once credited?

It depends on the operator. A typical expiry window is 7 days from the moment the spins are credited, with 30 days being generous and anything shorter than 72 hours being hostile. The free-spin expiry and the bonus-fund expiry — once the spins complete and the winnings are credited — are usually separate windows, and both appear in the bonus terms. Unused spins and uncleared bonus funds are forfeited at the expiry.

Must a casino be licensed by the Gambling Commission to offer 150 free spins with no deposit to UK players?

Yes. Any operator taking customers in Great Britain needs a Commission licence, regardless of where it is based. The Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014 closed the previous route by which an overseas-licensed operator could target UK customers from Malta, Gibraltar or Curaçao without a Commission licence. An offer of 150 free spins from an unlicensed site is not a better deal; it is a different product, sold without the regulatory protections a UK player would otherwise have.
