The headline number is £1, but the page that follows is not really about that pound. It is about the second one — the wagering requirement that sits on top of any bonus a casino hands out in return for a £1 deposit, the cashout rule that decides whether a £1 spin can ever become a real withdrawal, and the regulator that has to be in place before any of those numbers matter. The 10x wagering cap that came in on 19 December 2025 is the single biggest change to that arithmetic in years, and it is the reason a comparison written before that date already reads stale.

This page compares ten Gambling Commission licensees side by side, then walks through what a £1 deposit actually does when it lands — the legal frame, the safer-gambling rules that still apply, and the way money moves on and off the site. The angle is cost to the reader, because a £1 deposit casino is the segment where the gap between the marketing word and the arithmetic is widest.

The ten licensed UK casinos compared

The table below pulls only what is on the Gambling Commission’s public register. Every brand is listed there as an active domain of the named licence holder; that is the test of whether a UK-facing site may legally take a pound from you, and it is the only claim this page makes about any of these operators. A brand can carry a £1 minimum deposit without that fact being in any register — the register records licence status, not the deposit button — so the “subject support” column is left blank rather than guessed at.

What the table cannot show is the deposit button. The register does not store it. A reader who needs to know whether a specific site takes £1 has to check the cashier at that site, and that check is the only one that counts. What the register does give, and what matters more for a £1 player, is the licence number — the string a complaint is filed against, the string the Commission pulls if a brand stops paying out.

A few of the licence holders above look unfamiliar because the operator and the licensee are not always the same company. Coral’s licence sits with LC International Limited, which also holds the licences for Ladbrokes and Gala Bingo; the domain “coral.co.uk” is just one of several sites that run on that one permission. Treating it as an independent operator is the most common factual error in this corner of the market, and the register is what proves it wrong.

What a £1 minimum deposit casino actually is

A “£1 minimum deposit casino” is a site whose cashier lets a new or returning customer fund an account with one pound sterling. That floor — £1 — is the lowest the licensed UK market routinely offers. Most mainstream UK casinos sit at £5 or £10. The £1 tier lives at the smaller end: a few of the larger brands have lowered their floor in recent years; some smaller operators led with £1 as a headline; and a long tail of white-label sites use the figure to pull in traffic without it being the brand’s main selling point.

The first thing to clear up is what the £1 is for. It is a deposit, not a stake. A £1 deposit lands in the account as £1 of real money, available to play, and it carries no promise of being matched or multiplied. Any offer that doubles, triples or otherwise adds to that pound — a “200% match”, free spins, a “£10 bonus for £1 deposited” — is a separate item governed by its own rules, and those rules are where the real cost of a £1-deposit casino lives.

The second thing is the regulatory frame, which does not bend for a low deposit. A £1 minimum deposit casino that takes UK customers must, like every other UK-facing online casino, hold a remote operating licence from the Gambling Commission. The licence is what makes the site legal to play at from Great Britain; without it, the same deposit button is an offence under section 33 of the Gambling Act 2005 on the operator’s side, even though no penalty is aimed at the player. A £1 deposit is not a back door into a softer regulator.

The third thing is that a £1 deposit carries the full weight of the player-protection regime. GAMSTOP enrolment runs at the licence level, not the deposit level: if a player has self-excluded for five years, the £1 site is not allowed to take the pound. The same identity checks — name, address, date of birth — apply before the first deposit or any play, as they have since 7 May 2019. The site cannot be lighter-touch on verification just because the deposit is light.

The fourth is that the £1 is the only thing that is light. A £1 deposit, played through at ordinary slot stakes, lasts the time it takes to spin a few reels. The cashout rule that decides whether a player can withdraw any of it is the same rule a £500 deposit faces: meet the wagering requirement on the bonus (if any), do not breach the max-bet rule while it is being cleared, then ask for the withdrawal. The arithmetic is identical. The pounds just move slower.

The legality and the limits that change what £1 means

The legal frame for online gambling in Great Britain is the Gambling Act 2005, with the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014 closing the offshore-route loophole. A casino that takes a UK customer needs a Gambling Commission licence wherever it is itself based — a Curaçao, Maltese or Gibraltar registration on its own does not authorise it. The Commission’s public register is the only place that confirms whether a brand holds that licence; the register is searchable online and can be downloaded in full, which is why a comparison of UK-facing sites is built out of register rows rather than marketing pages.

On 18 September 2026, that register listed 139 businesses holding an active remote casino operating licence. The same register’s domain list records 1065 active and 361 white-label domain entries, where a white-label domain is a site that trades under another company’s licence — the same permission used by a different brand. The licence number itself has the form six digits-R-six digits-three digits; the leading six digits repeat the licence holder’s account number and the “R” marks a remote, i.e. online, licence.

A £1 deposit does not change any of the player-facing limits, but it does sit beside several that govern the game rather than the cashier:

• Stake per game cycle. Online slots carry a maximum stake of £5 per spin for players aged 25 and over (from 9 April 2025) and £2 per spin for players aged 18 to 24 (from 21 May 2025). A £1 deposit cannot buy a £20 spin anywhere; the limit is on the operator, not on the deposit.
• Spin speed. A slot spin may not complete faster than 2.5 seconds, and auto-play is banned outright. The pace at which a £1 deposit disappears is therefore mechanical, not the player’s choice.
• First-deposit financial-limit prompt. Before the first deposit — and that includes a £1 first deposit — the operator must prompt the customer to set a financial limit. From 31 October 2025, the prompt is mandatory; the deposit does not go through until the customer engages with it.
• Financial vulnerability check. At £150 in net deposits over a rolling 30 days, the operator must run a vulnerability check using public data only (from 28 February 2025). A £1 deposit will not trigger it; a £150 deposit will, and a low-stake habit does not exempt a player from the wider assessment the Commission has signalled.

There is no state-set deposit or loss ceiling. The Commission has not imposed one, and the closest thing is the £150 vulnerability-check trigger, which is a soft intervention, not a hard cap. A player who wants a hard ceiling sets it on the operator’s site; without one, there is no statutory line.

Credit cards have been banned for gambling since 14 April 2020, including credit-card funds routed through an e-wallet. A £1 deposit therefore has to come from a debit card, a bank account, or an e-wallet funded from a non-credit source. The Commission estimated, at the time of the ban, that around 800,000 UK consumers had used credit cards to gamble in 2018, and that 22% of online gamblers who used credit cards to gamble were classed as problem gamblers — the figure the policy cites as the reason it removed the route.

Safer gambling at the £1 end of the market

The safer-gambling framework in Great Britain is layered, and a £1 minimum deposit casino sits inside every layer. None of it switches off because the deposit is small.

GAMSTOP is the national online self-exclusion scheme. It has been a mandatory condition of every remote operating licence since 31 March 2020. A player who registers for self-exclusion chooses a period of six months, one year or five years, and the registration cannot be cancelled early. Every Gambling Commission licensee — including every brand in the table above — is required to check GAMSTOP before letting a new account deposit or play. A player who has self-excluded cannot open a £1-deposit account any more than a £500 one; the £1 is not a back door around GAMSTOP, and any operator that treated it as one would lose its licence.

Time-out and self-exclusion on the operator’s own platform are separate. A time-out is short — 24 hours up to six weeks — and a self-exclusion on the operator’s site runs six months or longer. Both sit on top of GAMSTOP rather than instead of it; the operator-level exclusion is what stops the player returning to that one brand, the GAMSTOP registration is what stops the player returning to any licensed brand.

Reality checks are the on-session reminders. They are a Commission-mandated feature, and a £1 deposit still gets one, because the rules apply per session rather than per stake. The pace of the reminder is set by the operator within Commission guidance.

Deposit limits are player-set, not state-set. A £1 minimum deposit is the floor the cashier accepts; a personal deposit limit is the ceiling the player sets for themselves. The first-deposit prompt from 31 October 2025 is what brings the limit into the conversation: the operator has to ask before the deposit goes through, and the player can set a daily, weekly or monthly ceiling. The Commission does not impose a default, but the absence of one is itself a policy choice — operators that have not set their own default for new accounts are leaning on the customer to do it.

The National Gambling Helpline, run by GamCare, and the information and self-help tools offered by GambleAware, are the off-platform routes. A £1 player who wants help does not have to play their way to it; both services are free, confidential and reachable before a deposit is made.

The section this sits inside — the one on “£1 minimum deposit casino not on GAMSTOP” — exists because the search is real. A site that does not enforce GAMSTOP is, by definition, not a UK licensee. It may run on an offshore licence that is valid in its home jurisdiction and useless in Great Britain; the deposit is technically possible, the protections are not. The section on legality, above, sets out what a player loses on that path: no Commission complaints route, no approved ADR, no recourse to the regulator when a withdrawal stalls.

Payments and payout speed at £1

The payment side of a £1 deposit casino is the most counter-intuitive part. The deposit is fast — almost any method the cashier accepts will land a pound within seconds — but the withdrawal is where the clock matters, and the clock is set by the method, not by the deposit size.

Debit cards. The most common route in and out. Deposits arrive instantly. Withdrawals typically take one to three working days after the operator has approved the request, because the card network and the issuing bank sit between the operator and the player’s account. A £1 withdrawal is processed through the same pipeline as a £500 one; the size does not move the queue.

Bank transfer. Within the UK, most bank transfers move through the Faster Payments Service, launched in 2008 and operated by Pay.UK. The service runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Most payments arrive instantly or within a couple of minutes, and the longest delays stretch to two hours. The Faster Payments scheme sets a £1,000,000 per-transaction limit, but the bank’s own daily limit on the customer’s account is usually the binding constraint and is well below that figure. A £1 withdrawal is small enough that the bank limit will not bite.

E-wallets. PayPal, Skrill, Neteller and similar services sit between the player’s bank and the casino. Deposits are instant. Withdrawals, once approved by the operator, are typically credited to the wallet within hours rather than days, and from there to the player’s bank on the wallet’s own timeline. The catch is that credit-card-funded e-wallet deposits are blocked — the credit-card ban covers that route — so the e-wallet has to be funded from a debit source.

Apple Pay. Apple Pay is developed and operated by Apple Inc., launched on 20 October 2014 and supporting UK-issued payment cards from 14 July 2015. Card data is protected through tokenisation: the actual card number is replaced with a device-specific tokenised Device Primary Account Number, and a dynamic security code is generated for each transaction. In-store payments use near-field communication (NFC) to communicate wirelessly with contactless payment terminals; online, Apple Pay sits between the debit card and the casino in the same way an e-wallet does. Deposits are instant, withdrawals are processed back to the card on the card’s own timeline. Apple’s own rules require a supported card from a participating issuer, and Apple Pay is not available in every market — a UK player on a UK-issued Visa debit from a participating bank is the typical configuration.

AstroPay. AstroPay was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in Uruguay; it operates as a global digital wallet offering online payments, virtual and physical debit cards, and peer-to-peer transfers. Its UK entity, Larstal Limited, is an electronic money institution authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority under the Electronic Money Regulations 2011; the Isle of Man entity, AstroPay Global (IOM) Limited, is licensed by the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority for money transmission. A £1 deposit is within AstroPay’s typical minimum; the operator decides whether its cashier accepts the brand.

The general rule on payout speed: the operator’s internal approval queue comes first, then the payment-rail timeline. A clean account — verified, no bonus conditions open, no source-of-funds review pending — usually sees withdrawals approved within 24 hours and the funds arrive on the same day via Faster Payments or an e-wallet, or on the next working day via debit card. An account that triggers a source-of-funds check, has an unconverted bonus, or has not finished identity verification will see the withdrawal paused regardless of the deposit size. The £1 is innocent of all of this; the account is what gets checked.

What the 10x wagering cap changes about a £1 deposit bonus

Since 19 December 2025, wagering requirements on casino bonuses have been capped at 10x. Mixed-product bonuses — the “bet on football, get 50 casino spins” structure — are banned. The cap is on the operator, not on the deposit: the size of the deposit does not change the cap, but it does change what the cap means.

A £10 bonus with a 10x wagering requirement asks the player to turn over £100 in qualifying bets before any winnings become withdrawable. A £50 bonus at the same cap asks for £500. The deposit underneath does not enter the calculation; only the bonus does. A player who deposits £1 and accepts a £10 bonus has £11 in the account, of which £10 has a £100 turnover target. A player who deposits £1 and accepts no bonus has £1 in the account and no turnover target at all.

The honest reading is this: a bonus turns a £1 deposit into a multi-hour task with a real chance of failure. The bonus funds themselves are not withdrawable until the wagering requirement is met, and any winnings generated by the bonus funds typically carry the same condition. A “100% match up to £10” on a £1 deposit is £2 of bonus funds, requiring £20 of qualifying turnover; a “100% match up to £200” on a £1 deposit is £1 of bonus funds, requiring £10 of qualifying turnover. Either way, the bonus adds a step that the deposit alone does not.

The cost is not the wagering multiple. It is what the wagering multiple is applied to. A 10x cap on a small bonus is short work; a 10x cap on a large bonus is a long grind. The arithmetic the page runs, in the calculation section below, uses a sample bonus and shows the band of hours the player is signing up for.

PokerStars

PokerStars runs on Stars Interactive Limited’s licence, account 39108, with the remote casino operating licence 039108-R-319334-026; the PokerStars domain is listed on the Commission’s register as an active entry. The brand is best known for poker, and the casino product sits alongside it on the same licence. As a £1 deposit casino, the site is not in this comparison’s register of facts: the Commission’s domain list records licence status, not the cashier floor. The wider point — that PokerStars is a UK-licensed site, GAMSTOP-enrolled, identity-checked, and subject to the same stake, spin-speed and bonus-cap rules as every other brand in this table — is what carries over.

The reader who lands here from a poker-led search and wants the casino product gets a £1 deposit entry point without leaving the regulated frame. The reader who wants a casino-led product with poker on the side is the reverse case: the casino floor is functional rather than headline, and the £1 deposit is one of several payment tiers rather than the lead.

Betfred

Betfred’s licence sits with Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited, account 39544, under the remote casino operating licence 039544-R-319290-010; the Betfred site is listed as an active domain. The brand is one of the larger UK bookmakers, and the casino product runs alongside the sportsbook on the same licence. A reader who has used the shop or the sportsbook and wants the casino on the same account gets a known operator on the other side of the £1 deposit.

The fact that the licence holder is Gibraltar-based is not, on its own, a problem. The Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014 brought operators based anywhere into the UK regime as long as they hold a Commission licence, and Betfred’s register entry confirms it does. The reader who is comparing on jurisdictional safety lands on the same answer as for any UK-licensed brand: the licence number, not the company’s address, is the test.

Betfair

Betfair’s licence is held by PPB Games Limited, account 39411, under 039411-R-319335-010; the Betfair site is listed as an active domain. The brand’s exchange-led history shows up in a product mix that runs sportsbook, exchange and casino side by side. The casino floor is one product line among several, and the £1 deposit enters the same cashier that takes the sportsbook stake.

A reader who already has a Betfair exchange account gets the casino on the same licence and the same verification. A reader who is new to the brand and arrives via the casino search gets the casino product without the sportsbook, but on the same regulatory spine. The Commission’s domain entry is the single piece of evidence this page needs about the brand’s right to take a UK deposit.

bet365

bet365 runs on Hillside (UK Gaming) ENC’s licence, account 55149, under the remote casino operating licence 055149-R-331499-004; the bet365 site is listed on the Commission’s register as an active domain. The brand is one of the larger UK-facing operators by customer count. The casino floor is a major product line alongside the sportsbook, and the £1 deposit enters the standard cashier.

The licence number is the relevant fact for a £1 player. The fact that the licence holder is the UK Gaming entity rather than the wider Hillside group is technical, but it does mean that the Commission’s complaints route runs to a UK-regulated entity rather than to a parent in another jurisdiction. For most readers the relevant comparison is to any other UK-licensed brand, and bet365 sits on the same side of that line.

Unibet

Unibet’s licence is held by Platinum Gaming Limited, account 45322, under 045322-R-324275-019; unibet.co.uk is listed as an active domain. The brand runs casino, sportsbook and poker on the same licence. The £1 deposit enters the standard cashier on the UK domain.

Unibet’s wider group, the Kindred Group, operates several brands across Europe. In Great Britain, only the UK domain and the UK licence matter; the other jurisdictions are separate. A reader looking at Unibet on its UK licence gets the same protections as any other brand in the table.

Coral

Coral’s licence is held by LC International Limited, account 54743, under 054743-R-330863-014; coral.co.uk is listed as an active domain. The licence holder is the same company that holds Ladbrokes and Gala Bingo’s licences — three brands on one permission. The Commission’s domain list is what records each brand as a separate entry against the same account.

A £1 player on Coral is on the same licence as a Ladbrokes player and a Gala Bingo player. That is not, by itself, a problem; the licence is in good standing. It does mean that complaints or Commission actions against the licence affect all three brands, and a player who has self-excluded on one of the three has, for the period of that exclusion, restricted themselves on the others too if the operator’s system links them.

Casumo

Casumo runs on Recro Limited’s licence, account 61549, under 061549-R-336718-002; the Casumo site is listed as an active domain. The brand’s casino product is its lead; sportsbook and other verticals sit behind it. The £1 deposit enters the standard cashier.

Casumo’s licence holder is a UK-registered company, which is the structural fact a reader comparing on jurisdictional safety may want. The licence number is the test of standing; the address of the licence holder is secondary information that becomes relevant only if the licence status changes.

888casino

888casino’s licence is held by 888 UK Limited, account 39028, under 039028-R-319297-014; 888casino is listed as an active domain. The brand is one of the longer-established casino-led names in the UK market, and the licence holder is a UK company within the wider 888 group.

The £1 deposit on 888casino enters the standard cashier. A reader comparing on tenure or group structure gets a longer-running brand than most, but the relevant fact for the £1 segment is the licence status, which the register confirms as active.

kwiff

kwiff runs on Eaton Gate Gaming Limited’s licence, account 44448, under 044448-R-323408-017; the kwiff site is listed as an active domain. Eaton Gate Gaming operates the brand, which is a newer entry in the UK market. The £1 deposit enters the standard cashier.

The brand’s novelty is not, on its own, a reason to prefer or avoid it. The Commission’s register is the test of licence status, and the licence is active. A reader who wants a longer-tenured operator has the rest of the table for that; a reader who wants a smaller, casino-led brand on the same regulatory spine gets kwiff on the same line.

Midnite

Midnite runs on Dribble Media Limited’s licence, account 42647, under 042647-R-321653-022; the Midnite site is listed as an active domain. Dribble Media manages the site, which offers both casino and sportsbook products. The £1 deposit enters the standard cashier.

Midnite sits at the same regulatory line as every other brand in the table. The Commission’s register entry is the relevant fact; the brand’s tenure, like kwiff’s, is a secondary point that does not move the licence standing.

How long it takes to clear a £1-deposit bonus under the 10x cap

The arithmetic below uses a sample £20 bonus — a common welcome-bonus size in the post-19 December 2025 UK market — and the £0.10-per-spin stake that is a typical low-end online slot bet. The wagering requirement under the cap is 10x the bonus, which is £200 of qualifying turnover. At £0.10 per spin, that is 2,000 spins. At 2.5 seconds per spin — the slowest legal pace — that is 5,000 seconds, or about 1 hour 23 minutes.

The band the page reports, then, is roughly 80 minutes to two and a half hours for a £20 bonus cleared at minimum legal pace, on a low-stake slot, assuming every spin counts towards the requirement and no max-bet rule is breached. A higher-stake slot cuts the time; a slower slot cuts nothing, because 2.5 seconds is the legal floor. A larger bonus lengthens the time linearly: a £50 bonus at the same 10x cap requires £500 of turnover, or 5,000 spins, or close to three and a half hours at the slowest legal pace. A smaller bonus shortens it: a £10 bonus requires £100 of turnover, or 1,000 spins, or about 42 minutes.

Two assumptions are doing the work. The first is that only the bonus amount is wagered, not the deposit. If the bonus funds and the deposit are treated as a single pool, the turnover target rises. The second is that no single spin breaches the operator’s max-bet rule while the bonus is active; breaching it forfeits the bonus and any associated winnings on most UK sites. Either assumption shifts the picture, and a player who wants the picture for a specific bonus has to read that bonus’s own terms.

The result is an estimate, not a forecast. The number of spins is mechanical, given the stake and the turnover target; the time is mechanical, given the spin interval. What is not mechanical is whether the player wins or loses along the way — the bonus funds themselves are not withdrawable until the turnover is met, but the winnings from those funds typically are, once the requirement is cleared.

What a £1 player actually keeps

The arithmetic on the deposit side is harder than the arithmetic on the bonus side, because what a £1 player keeps depends on the game and on luck. A £1 deposit on a £0.10 slot is ten spins at minimum stake, or fewer than two minutes of play at the slowest legal pace. A £1 deposit on a £2 stake — the 18-24 stake cap — is half a spin, and the second spin cannot happen because there is no money for it.

The honest read is that a £1 deposit is a sampler, not a session. The purpose is to see whether the cashier works, whether the verification has cleared, and whether the site is the one the player wants to play on. It is not a route to a payout; the wagering requirement on any bonus that comes with it is most of the deposit’s value back in qualifying turnover, and a no-bonus £1 deposit leaves the player with a £1 balance that the site’s max-cashout rule may or may not allow to be withdrawn.

A no-bonus deposit on a site with no max-cashout rule is the cleanest case: the £1 is wagered once through, any remaining balance is withdrawable, and the player’s loss is the difference between the deposit and the withdrawal. A no-bonus deposit on a site with a max-cashout rule — typically expressed as a multiple of the deposit, e.g. “max withdrawal 10x deposit” — caps the payout regardless of how far the £1 runs. That rule is the single most important thing a £1 player checks before playing, because the rule that decides whether a £1 spin can become a real withdrawal is the rule on cashout, not the rule on stake.

Where this leaves a £1 player

A £1 minimum deposit casino in the UK is, in 2026, the same kind of site as a £500 minimum deposit casino in regulatory terms — same licence class, same player-protection regime, same payment rails. The £1 figure is the cashier floor, not the regulator’s floor. The Commission’s public register is the test of whether the site is legal to play at from Great Britain, and it lists 139 active remote casino licensees on the snapshot this page is checked against.

The real cost of a £1 deposit is the bonus that comes with it, where there is one. A £1 deposit with no bonus is a £1 deposit; a £1 deposit with a bonus is a multi-hour task with a real chance of failure. The 10x wagering cap that came in on 19 December 2025 has not changed the shape of that trade, only the scale of it. A reader who came to this page for a list of brands gets ten UK licensees, all in good standing on the register. A reader who came for the £1 deposit ends up reading about the bonus, because the bonus is where the £1 goes.

Frequently asked questions about £1 minimum deposit casinos in the UK

What counts as a £1 minimum deposit at a licensed UK casino?

It is the lowest amount the cashier accepts from a new or returning player, payable by a permitted method. The £1 floor is set by the operator; the Commission’s role is to license the operator, not to set the deposit minimum. A £1 deposit carries the full set of UK player-protection rules regardless of the amount: identity verification, GAMSTOP, deposit limits, source-of-funds checks above the £150 rolling-30-day threshold.

Is a £1 minimum deposit casino safe to use?

Safety, in the UK frame, means licensed by the Gambling Commission. The Commission’s public register is searchable online and downloadable as a CSV or Excel file, and it is the only place that confirms whether a brand holds the licence it claims. A licensed £1 site is subject to GAMSTOP, mandatory financial-limit prompts, and the Commission’s complaints and ADR routes. An unlicensed £1 site is none of those, and the deposit button is the player’s only recourse.

Can I find a £1 minimum deposit casino that is not on GAMSTOP?

No, not within the UK licensed market. GAMSTOP enrolment is a mandatory condition of every remote operating licence, and the deposit button does not change that. A site that does not enforce GAMSTOP is, by definition, not a UK licensee, and the same applies to every other UK protection regime. The £1 deposit is not a way around GAMSTOP; it is the same gate as a £500 deposit, and the gate is closed for self-excluded players.

How quickly do withdrawals settle after a £1 deposit?

The deposit size does not set the withdrawal timeline. The operator’s internal approval queue sets the first leg — typically within 24 hours for a clean account — and the payment rail sets the second. Bank transfers via Faster Payments usually arrive in minutes; e-wallets typically within hours; debit cards one to three working days after approval. A £1 withdrawal is processed through the same pipeline as any other size.

Which payment methods accept a £1 minimum deposit?

Debit cards, bank transfers via Faster Payments, and most e-wallets will accept a £1 deposit where the operator’s cashier allows it. Apple Pay, AstroPay and similar services sit between the debit card or bank account and the casino; the underlying method is still a non-credit source, because credit cards have been banned for gambling since 14 April 2020. The cashier floor is the binding constraint, not the method.

Is a £1 minimum deposit casino licensed by the Gambling Commission?

It can be — the Commission’s licensing regime does not set a minimum deposit, so a licensed site may take a £1 deposit if its cashier is configured to. The licence number is on the public register, and it is the test of standing. A brand not on the register is not licensed for Great Britain, regardless of the deposit it accepts; a brand on the register is licensed, regardless of the deposit it requires.
