Implementation extension for new deposit limit requirements

26 May 2026

Operators have been granted more time to prepare for new deposit limit requirements.

In October 2025 the first phase of improvements to tools that help consumers to manage their gambling were introduced in the Remote Technical Standards (RTS) with the second phase due to be introduced on 30 June 2026.

Following stakeholder feedback, the Commission has extended the implementation period of the second phase to the end of September 2026 to allow for further operator technical development time.

From 30 September 2026 operators must:

  • offer gross deposit limits to customers, and in some cases re-introduce gross deposit limits to the options available to customers
  • name gross deposit limits as “deposit limits” - only this type of limit can be called a “deposit limit”
  • offer gross deposit limits with at least equal prominence as other types of financial limit.

We have also updated our consultation response document to clarify that to ensure consistency across the industry, from 30 September 2026 only gross deposit limits must be offered over fixed time frames. Rolling and fixed time frames can be used for other limit types.

In preparation for implementation operators are asked to refer to the Remote Gambling and Software Technical Standards: Consultation Response and linked annex for the RTS 12 in full effective from 30 September 2026.

All operators are advised that an annex initially published alongside the supplementary consultation response on 7 October 2025 contained small errors and was temporarily removed from our website. Any downloaded or offline versions of the Annex saved prior to 22 May 2026 should be disregarded.
