Updates to RTS effective 17 January 2025

We consulted in 2023 on changes to the remote gambling and software technical standards (RTS).

The following sections contain new or updated requirements that came into effect on 17 January 2025.

  • features which speed up the time for a result to be shown or can give the illusion of control such as ‘turbo’ or ‘slam stops’ (RTS 14E)
  • autoplay (RTS 8A)
  • celebrations of returns less than or equal to stake (RTS 14F)
  • operator-led functionality which facilitates playing multiple simultaneous products (RTS 14C)
  • display of transactions - net spend and net time information (RTS 2E and RTS 13C)
  • a minimum spin speed for casino games of 5 seconds (excluding peer-to-peer poker) (RTS 14G)
  • security requirements.

We have updated the supporting testing strategy to incorporate any new standards and changes made to the numbering of existing requirements as a result of this consultation.

The new provisions are contained in the updated RTS.
