BonusFinder UK Survey: Public Trust in Online Gambling & Bonus Offers in 2025
As conversations around gambling regulation and responsible gaming gain momentum in the UK, new research from BonusFinder reveals a complex public sentiment toward the online gambling landscape.
The nationwide survey, which was conducted in May 2025 and included 1,000 respondents, reveals that while the majority of Brits engage with online gambling platforms occasionally, concerns around transparency, trust and bonus terms remain prominent.
Usage patterns
Respondents were asked a series of questions on how they use online gambling platforms, the types of gambling they participate in the most, and if they claim the bonuses offered to them.
Overall, the usage of the platforms across the UK might not be as high as some expect, with 65% claiming they ârarelyâ use gambling sites and 19% saying they only use the platforms âoccasionallyâ.
UK attitudes towards online gambling & bonuses in 2025 have become more lenient in comparison to previous years. The study found that younger Brits, those in the 18-24 bracket, were the least likely to use gambling platforms at 5%, whilst being the most likely to only use the sites ârarelyâ.
Of those asked, within that age bracket, 76% claimed they use gambling sites less than once a month. Meanwhile, 34-55 year olds are most likely to use sites multiple times a week, with 9% claiming so.
Self-employed Brits are the most likely to be using gambling platforms multiple times a week at 12%, this was followed by those who are unemployed at 11%.
Unsurprisingly, sports betting is the most common form of online gambling in the UK with 42% of respondents claiming that this is the type of gambling they participate in most often.
It was also the most popular form of betting across most of the age ranges, except for the two oldest brackets (55-64, 64+) whose most popular choice was âotherâ, which can include the likes of lottery and horse racing.
Bonus awareness & understanding
Around three in five (59%) Brits have claimed a welcome bonus or promotional offer from online gambling sites. However, even more respondents (63%) say that they rarely use casino betting bonuses outside of these welcome bonuses.
Only 3% of the respondents said they use bonuses almost every time they gamble, whilst 26% use them âoccasionallyâ. Those who do use bonuses said they most frequently find them directly on the gambling site, with 64% saying so.
This was followed by finding them through social media or website ads (26%) and bonus comparison sites (13%).
Understanding of online casino terms (such as âwagering requirementsâ, âcashable vs.
non-cashableâ) is quite clear amongst Brits, with 17% saying their understanding is âvery clearâ whilst 42% say their understanding is âsomewhat clearâ.
Only 16% claimed they donât understand the terminology at all. Additionally, 56% of Brits claim that theyâve been surprised by the conditions attached to some bonuses.
Confidence in regulation & industry fairness
Not just in the UK, but globally, the casino and gambling industry is often viewed with controversy, prompting a regulatory focus. However, there is no shortage of systems in place in the UK to ensure that these platforms are properly regulated.
On the other hand, despite this, the results show that Brits (understandably) still have their doubts about the systems in place. Overall, only 9% are âvery confidentâ that gambling sites are properly regulated, whilst 43% said they werenât confident at all.
Older Brits (45-55 year olds) had the most confidence in sites being properly regulated, with 55% saying theyâre confident; however, 65% of the eldest bracket (65+) said they had no confidence at all.
Many Brits also have doubts that the UK Gambling Commission are doing enough to protect customers. Only 19% said they thought that they do enough, 28% werenât sure and 53% say they donât protect customers at all.
However, the most surprising statistic in this section of the survey is that over two-thirds of the respondents (67%) said they donât know how to check if a gambling site is licensed in the UK.
Unfortunately, Brits also have doubts when it comes to bonus comparison and affiliate sites sharing fair and unbiased information. In the survey, 54% of Brits claimed they felt like they couldnât trust them, whilst 31% say they werenât sure if they could or not.
The primary concerns around gambling and casino sites amongst Brits were;
- Addiction and gambling harm (32%)
- Misleading bonus terms (21%)
- Underage access (17%)
- Data privacy (14%)
- Unlicensed operators (13%)
UK perceptions & marketing
Almost half (45%) of Brits have a negative perception of online gambling sites, and 46% say that their view is âneutralâ.
Despite earlier questions showing that the younger generation was the least likely to be using the sites on a regular basis, they were the most likely to have a positive view of the sites. Of the 25-34 year olds, 10% said they had a positive perception, this was also the same for the 35-44 age group.
Despite 42% of Brits saying that they feel that bonuses are advertised fairly only
âsometimesâ, 31% believe they arenât all. Meanwhile 71% said they believe that bonus
promotions should be more strictly regulated.
When asked what would be their biggest confidence booster in regards to their use of online gambling and casino sites, the respondents said:
- Clearer terms and conditions (22%)
- Stronger licensing (15%)
- UK-based customer support (15%)
- Verified customer reviews (13%)
- Faster payouts (12%)
- Emphasis on responsible gambling tools (12%)
- Publicly verified RTP (return to player percentages) (11%)

1spin4win presents a new Samurai tale in the Japanese saga with Way of Honor Hold and Win
1spin4win, a classic online slot provider, unfolds the Japanese novel with Way of Honor Hold and Win â the third chapter of the series, revealing the Samurai part of the story.
The new title has been selected for exclusive pre-release by partner casinos, including Irwin, Gizbo, Jet, Izzi, and Fresh. This follows the pattern set by the two earlier entries in the series â Tigerâs Steps Hold and Win, the top-performing April release by bet sum, and Gentle Fox Hold and Win. This indicates that the collectionâs blend of well-balanced gameplay and captivating storytelling continues to resonate with the audience.
Being the third installment of the saga, Way of Honor Hold and Win advances the narrative by giving voice to yet-unheard characters â honorable samurai Mizuiro and Midoriiro. Devoted warriors, they pledged unwavering loyalty to the shogun and the powerful Masahide family. Their moral compass is the Way of Honor â a sacred samurai code that guides them to defend the rulerâs right to maintain peace and the balance of power. Every day, at the crack of dawn, the samurai rise to protect the shogunâs castle and ancient scrolls that hold the secrets of longevity.
Olga Bogdanova, the Art Director at 1spin4win, shared, âWay of Honor Hold and Win is a worthy continuation of our Japanese slot series, united by a shared storyline. By crafting a rich and detailed samurai-themed narrative, we aimed to offer players more than just standard reel-spinning. Instead, we invite them to become active participants in the story, who can take sides, make decisions, and influence the course of events. We hope they enjoy the gameâs immersive atmosphere and generous winning opportunities.â
However, the meticulously crafted plot is only one of the things the latest Japanese slot can boast. It remains faithful to 1spin4winâs key hallmarks â well-balanced math, transparent mechanics, and minimalist design. Way of Honor Hold and Win is a medium-volatility game featuring 243 paylines, a 97.1% RTP, and a x1,300 max multiplier.
The main attraction of the new title is the Hold and Win round, popular with players for the thrill of anticipation and the chance to win big. Triggered by three or more gold Coins on the 5Ă3 layout, the Bonus game offers three starting respins and two Jackpots â the x100 Minipot Coin or the x1,000 Megapot.
