What’s changed?
The UK Government introduced new maximum stake limits for online slot games. These limits now apply across all UK-licensed gambling sites, not just MrQ.
- £5 max stake per spin/game cycle for all players; effective from 9 April 2025
- £2 max stake per spin/game cycle for players aged 18–24; effective from 21 May 2025
- £5 max stake for players aged 25+
Why did this change happen?
The update is part of the UK Government’s safer gambling plan. It's designed to help players stay in control, reduce risk, and protect younger adults from gambling harm.
**In short: more fun, less faff, and safer play all round.**💙
Does this apply to all games?
Nope. The new limits only affect online slot games. Games like Live Casino, Bingo, and Roulette aren’t included in this change.
What does this mean for me?
If you play slots, your maximum stake is now automatically set based on your age. There’s nothing you need to do, the limits are already built into the games.
As always, MrQ’s here to make sure play stays safe, simple, and fun. You can explore more tools and advice in our Safer Gambling hub
