These measures are scheduled to take effect between late 2025 and early 2026.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>From murky small print to measurable standards<\/strong><\/h2><p>A few years ago, confusion and complaints grew around &ldquo;free bet&rdquo; and &ldquo;bonus&rdquo; promotions that concealed restrictive terms deep in fine print. A 2018 joint investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) required major betting brands to end unfair terms that restricted customer withdrawals and obscured bonus conditions.<br><br>Simultaneously, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) reinforced advertising rules, mandating that operators and affiliates clearly display minimum odds, expiry dates, and deposit limits.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Across Europe and beyond, this movement toward transparency is spreading.
