A welcome bonus is the bait in the landing-page window: deposit £10, get £30 in bonus funds; stake £20 on slots, take 50 free spins on a particular title; register, and the site hands you a small cash chip before you have paid in anything at all. Every brand reviewed below holds a Gambling Commission remote casino licence, which means the offer has to clear rules the regulator wrote, and which means the headline figure is rarely the figure a player keeps. This page ranks ten licensed operators on what their welcome package actually contains, walks through the rules that govern every one of them, and prices the offer back into the hours and the losses it costs a player to clear.

The 10 UK Welcome Bonuses Ranked Side by Side

A welcome bonus at a GB-licensed casino today comes in three shapes: a matched deposit, where the casino tops up what you pay in; free spins on a named slot; or a smaller no-deposit bundle credited on registration, before any money has changed hands. The size of the headline is the easy comparison; the harder one is what the bonus costs the person who claims it, because every package carries a wagering requirement, and the wagering requirement is what determines how much of the bonus ever turns into withdrawable cash.

The ranking below orders ten operators by how their welcome package reads once the headline is stripped away. Five of them appear under shared licences, which matters for any reader comparing complaint routes and safer-gambling tools: Virgin Games and Jackpotjoy both run on Gamesys Operations Limited’s licence, for instance, while the three Entain brands (Ladbrokes, Coral, Gala Bingo) all sit under LC International Limited.

Five of the ten sit on shared licences — a structural feature of the UK market, not a quirk of any single brand. Virgin Games and Jackpotjoy are both Gamesys products; Gala Bingo shares LC International Limited with Coral and Ladbrokes, which are not in this top ten. Where two listed brands share a licence, a complaint, a self-exclusion request and a GAMSTOP enrolment all reach the same operator behind the scenes.

Where the ranking earns its order

The headline amounts in this market sit closer together than they used to. The 10x wagering cap, in force since 19 December 2025, has compressed the spread: a £100 bonus at 10x turnover asks for £1,000 of slot play, where the same bonus at the old 35x standard asked for £3,500. The result is that the size of the headline matters less than the terms attached to it — which games count in full, how long the bonus is given to clear, and whether any win from a no-deposit chip carries a cap. The ranking follows that shift: brands whose terms are clean and whose offer is generous for the £-in, £-out ratio sit ahead of those whose headline is bigger but whose fine print trims it back.

The cluster at the top — 32Red, Casumo, Midnite — combines a competitive headline with a clean structure: a single matched-deposit offer, free spins on a popular slot, and a wagering multiple that sits at the cap or close to it. The middle of the table (Betfair, Betfred, Sky Vegas) leans on free spins as the main hook and uses the cash match as a smaller secondary feature. The bottom of the table (Virgin Games, Jackpotjoy, Gala Bingo, PokerStars) carries the older-style offer: a smaller matched amount, sometimes paired with bingo or poker products, that reads as a starting credit rather than a serious play-time extender.

How the UK Online Casino Market Is Shaped Around a Welcome Bonus

The UK online casino market runs on a licence the Gambling Commission grants, and every brand in the ranking above holds one. By 18 September 2026 the Commission’s public register listed 139 businesses holding an active remote casino operating licence, and the register’s domain list held 1,065 active and 361 white-label website entries against those licences. A white-label site trades under another company’s licence, which is why Virgin Games and Jackpotjoy — different brands, different products, the same underlying operator — share the same six-digit account number on the register.

The number of licensed brands is not the number of casinos a player can join. The same operator can run several sites under one licence, and several operators can share a parent company. What the register gives the reader is the legal person behind the brand: the name on the licence, the account number, and the suffix that marks it as remote (online) rather than retail. The remote licence number has the form account-R-number–suffix, and the “R” is the bit that confirms a player is dealing with an online operator rather than a betting shop.

The bonus on the landing page is shaped by the same regime. Every GB-licensed casino since 19 December 2025 has had to clear two specific bars: wagering requirements on deposit bonuses capped at 10x, and no mixed-product packages (a bet on sport in exchange for casino spins, for example). That is why the headline amounts sit where they do, and why the same offer from the same operator reads differently on its UK site than on its Malta-licensed counterpart.

Who Licences a UK Online Casino, and What the Licence Forces

The Gambling Commission is the regulator that issues every operating licence for an online casino serving customers in Great Britain. It sits under the Gambling Act 2005, and a second statute, the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014, removed the previous exemption for operators based outside the UK: any operator taking a customer in Great Britain needs a Commission licence, regardless of where the company itself is incorporated. A Curaçao, Maltese or Gibraltar licence is not a substitute.

The licence carries obligations, not just permission. The operator must verify the customer’s name, address and date of birth before the first deposit or any play — a check that has been in force since 7 May 2019 and is the reason no UK-licensed site lets a player deposit anonymously. The operator must take part in GAMSTOP, the national online self-exclusion scheme, and the customer must be allowed to register for periods of six months, one year or five years. The operator must enforce online slot stake limits: £5 per game cycle for players aged 25 and over (from 9 April 2025) and £2 for players aged 18 to 24 (from 21 May 2025). Since 31 October 2021 auto-play is banned, a single slot spin may not resolve faster than 2.5 seconds, and any visual that disguises a loss as a win is banned. Since 14 April 2020 credit cards have been banned for gambling, including credit cards routed through e-wallets.

The Commission is not a player-facing complaints body, but it does require every licensed operator to offer an approved alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provider. A complaint that the ADR cannot resolve can be escalated to the Commission, and the Commission has the power to revoke the licence, fine the operator, or attach conditions to it. None of this helps a player on an unlicensed site: the Commission can disrupt illegal sites through cease-and-desist notices, search-engine delisting and payment referrals, but it has no ISP-blocking power, and it has no route to recover money a player has lost.

The Safer-Gambling Checks Worth Making Before Claiming

A welcome bonus is paid in bonus funds, and bonus funds are tied to safer-gambling rules the operator has to enforce regardless of whether the player wants to use them. The first thing a player should do before opening an account is to check whether the operator is enrolled in GAMSTOP, and whether the brand appears on the Commission’s public register at all. Both are free, both take a minute, and both are the only way to confirm the protection in the previous section actually applies.

Three further checks matter. The first is the deposit prompt that has been mandatory since 31 October 2025: before the first deposit, a GB-licensed operator must ask the customer to set a financial limit, and the customer can refuse, but the prompt has to have happened. The second is the financial vulnerability check that runs once a customer’s net deposits in a rolling 30-day window hit £150 (in force since 28 February 2025). The check pulls public data only — it is a soft flag, not a credit search — and it can prompt a reality-check message or a time-out. The third is the stake limit that applies on every slot spin, which is the single number that decides how fast the wagering requirement burns through a bankroll.

GAMSTOP enrolment is the strongest single tool. A player who registers excludes themselves from every online operator licensed in Great Britain for the chosen period, and the exclusion cannot be cancelled early. The National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133, run by GamCare) and GambleAware are the two national services a player can reach without going through the operator. None of these tools prevents a player from playing; they make the playing more visible.

Paying In and Pulling Money Out Around a Bonus

The deposit side of a welcome bonus is mostly friction-free at a GB-licensed site, because the operator wants the deposit to happen. Debit cards and bank transfers go through instantly; Apple Pay and Google Pay work on any device that has them set up, with the card data tokenised rather than passed to the casino. E-wallets such as PayPal and Skrill are accepted at most brands but not all, and several operators exclude e-wallet deposits from the welcome bonus — a check the player needs to make before paying in, not after.

Withdrawals are where the terms start to bite. Most UK-licensed casinos pay back to the same method used to deposit, and most run a 24-to-48-hour internal pending period before the funds are released. Bank withdrawals then go through the Faster Payments Service, which moves money 24 hours a day, seven days a week and lands most transfers in minutes; the Faster Payments scheme itself sets a £1,000,000 per-transaction limit, and individual banks can set their own lower caps. E-wallet withdrawals are usually faster on the operator side but can take longer on the e-wallet side. Card withdrawals take the longest, because the receiving bank may treat a gambling-related refund differently from a normal merchant credit.

The credit-card ban cuts both ways. Since 14 April 2020 a UK player cannot fund any gambling account with a credit card, including a credit card loaded into an e-wallet and then spent on gambling — the operator has to detect the source and refuse the deposit. Debit cards and bank transfers are unaffected, which is why they remain the most reliable deposit route. AstroPay, a UK e-money institution authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, sits inside the same set of regulated alternatives; Apple Pay works for deposits where the underlying card is a debit card, and falls over where it is credit.

A no-deposit welcome bonus changes the deposit question entirely. The bonus is credited on registration, before any money has been paid in, and the player has to clear the wagering requirement before withdrawing anything. The withdrawal almost always carries a cap on the amount that can be cashed out from the bonus funds (a few brands keep the cap generous, most pin it to a low figure), and the verification check is the same as for a deposit bonus — name, address, date of birth — because the Commission rule applies to any play, not just play funded by a deposit.

What a UK Welcome Bonus Actually Pays and Costs

A UK welcome bonus is built from three parts, and reading the offer honestly means looking at each one. The first part is the matched deposit: a percentage of what the player pays in, credited as bonus funds. A “100% up to £100” offer pays £1 of bonus for every £1 deposited, capped at £100 of bonus. The second part is the free spins: a fixed number of spins on a named slot, usually credited in tranches over the first few days. The third part is the no-deposit bonus, where one is on offer: a small cash chip or set of free spins credited on registration, before any deposit.

The wagering requirement is the part the headline does not show. Since 19 December 2025 the cap has been 10x for deposit bonuses, which means a £100 bonus asks for £1,000 of qualifying play before the bonus funds turn into withdrawable cash. Free spins carry their own wagering requirement, usually on the winnings from the spins rather than on the spins themselves. A no-deposit bonus carries the steepest wagering, because the casino is giving away something for nothing and has to protect itself from immediate withdrawal.

Two conditions sit beneath the wagering number and shape what the offer really costs. The first is game weighting: most slots count 100% towards wagering, but table games and live casino often count 10% or 0%, which means a player trying to clear the bonus on roulette is doing ten times the wagering they would on slots. The second is the max-bet rule: most UK bonuses cap a single spin or hand at £5 (or £2 for an 18-24 player under the age-based slot stake limit), and breaching that cap voids the bonus and any winnings from it.

How long to clear a £100 bonus at the 10x cap

The bonus-cost formula is straightforward. Required turnover is the bonus amount multiplied by the wagering factor; the number of spins is that turnover divided by the stake per spin; and the play time in hours is the spins multiplied by a five-second interval (the regulatory minimum spin time on a slot), divided by 3,600. The calculation below uses the £100 bonus, the 10x cap and a £1 stake per spin, which is the most common setup at the brands reviewed here.

For a £100 bonus at the 10x cap, the required turnover is £1,000; at £1 per spin, that is 1,000 spins; at five seconds per spin, that is 5,000 seconds, or roughly 1 hour and 23 minutes of continuous play. The wagering requirement can be cleared in a single sitting if the player has the bankroll and the time, but the requirement itself is the only thing that matters — the offer does not pay out until every spin has counted. The expected loss over those 1,000 spins at a 96% RTP slot is £40 (turnover multiplied by 1 minus the RTP), which is the real cost of clearing the bonus before any winnings are taken into account. That figure is a statistical estimate, not a guaranteed outcome: a single session can finish ahead or behind, and the wagering requirement is a rule about how much play the player has to do, not a guarantee of how much they will keep.

The figure scales with the bonus size. A £50 bonus at 10x and £1 per spin asks for 500 spins, or about 42 minutes of continuous play, with an expected loss around £20 on a 96% slot. A £200 bonus at 10x and £1 per spin asks for 2,000 spins, or close to 2 hours and 47 minutes, with an expected loss around £80. The wagering factor is fixed at the regulator’s cap, so the variable that decides how long the bonus takes to clear is the size of the bonus itself.

The same offer, the same cap, two different cost profiles

A free-spins bundle clears faster than a matched-deposit bonus but pays less, because each spin is a smaller unit of stake. A 50-free-spin offer at 10p per spin is £5 of total stake; at a 35x wagering factor on the winnings, the player has to turn £5 of slot play into a multiple of winnings before any of it can be withdrawn. The expected loss on those 50 spins at a 96% RTP slot is 20p — small in cash, large as a percentage of the bonus. The matched-deposit bonus costs more in absolute cash, but the ratio of bonus received to expected loss is closer to 2.5:1 at a £100 / 10x / 96% RTP combination, which is a much better trade for the player.

The trade-off is time. A matched deposit asks for a long, single block of play; a free-spin bundle asks for a handful of short bursts spread over a few days. The shape of the offer that suits a player depends on how they prefer to play — a long session once, or a few minutes at a time.

The Ten Operators in Detail

What follows is a closer look at each of the ten operators in the ranking, with the licence that sits behind it, the domain status on the register, and the verdict that the offer earns when the headline is taken off. None of the operator pages includes a bonus code or a promo code, because a description of what an offer is worth is not the same as a route to claim it, and the offer changes more often than the description does.

Virgin Games — the white-label Gamesys product

Virgin Games runs as a white-label domain on Gamesys Operations Limited’s licence, which puts it in the same legal envelope as Jackpotjoy and a handful of other Gamesys brands. The white-label structure means Virgin Games does not hold its own licence; it operates on Gamesys’ permission to run gambling sites, and the operator behind the player account is Gamesys rather than Virgin. That is the entry on the register: account 38905, licence 038905-R-319430-022, domain listed as white-label. For a player, the practical consequence is that any complaint, ADR route or safer-gambling request reaches Gamesys, not a separate Virgin entity.

The welcome offer at Virgin Games has historically leaned on bingo products rather than slot play, and the slot welcome bundle is the smaller part of what the site markets. That is the right brand for a player who wants a single account that covers bingo and slots without a complicated sign-up flow, and the wrong brand for a player whose priority is the largest matched-deposit bonus the UK market offers.

Betfred — the high-street name with an online licence

Betfred is the online arm of the Betfred high-street chain, and the licence sits with Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited at account 39544, licence 039544-R-319290-010. The Gibraltar holding company is the legal person; the brand is the public face. Betfred is one of the larger UK-licensed operators by customer base, and its welcome offer tends to be conservative in headline terms but well-structured in the small print: a single matched deposit at the regulator’s 10x cap, with free spins on a popular slot.

The right reader for Betfred is a player who wants a familiar name, a UK-facing customer-service team and an offer that does what the landing page says it does. The wrong reader is a player chasing the largest possible headline — Betfred does not try to be that brand.

Betfair — the exchange-and-casino combination

Betfair sits on PPB Games Limited’s licence at account 39411, licence 039411-R-319335-010. The brand is best known for its betting exchange, and the casino product is a secondary vertical running on the same licence. The welcome offer reflects that: free spins rather than a matched deposit, with the bonus structured around a smaller cash amount. For a player who already has a Betfair exchange account, the casino welcome is an add-on rather than the main reason to join. For a player whose priority is casino-only, the offer is light.

Sky Vegas — the broadcast-brand casino

Sky Vegas runs on Bonne Terre Gaming Limited’s licence at account 65519, licence 065519-R-339675-002. The licence holder is the legal entity behind the site; the Sky brand is licensed in from Sky’s parent for marketing purposes. Sky Vegas is one of the more aggressive UK-licensed brands on free spins, with welcome packages that often run to 100 or 200 spins on a single named slot. The matched deposit is usually smaller than at the brands that lead on cash.

For a player who values free spins over matched deposit, Sky Vegas is the strongest name in the table. The offer prioritises spin volume, meaning a player looking for a large single cash-match figure should look elsewhere.

Gala Bingo — the LC International brand

Gala Bingo runs on LC International Limited’s licence at account 54743, licence 054743-R-330863-014. LC International also runs Ladbrokes and Coral, which are not in this ranking but share the same underlying operator. The shared licence is the structural reason any Gala Bingo complaint routes through LC International, and the reason a GAMSTOP enrolment covers Gala, Ladbrokes and Coral simultaneously.

The welcome offer at Gala Bingo is built around the bingo product, with a slot welcome bundle layered on top. For a player who plays both bingo and slots on one account, Gala is a sensible single site. For a slots-only player, the offer is smaller than at the brands that lead on slot play.

32Red — the long-running slots brand

32Red runs on Platinum Gaming Limited’s licence at account 45322, licence 045322-R-324275-019. The brand has been in the UK market since the early 2000s and has built its reputation on a deep slot catalogue rather than a flashy welcome bonus. The current welcome package is closer to the regulator’s 10x cap than to the old 35x standard, and the matched-deposit amount is competitive.

For a player who reads the small print before claiming, 32Red is a clean choice. For a player chasing the largest single bonus amount, there are stronger names in the table.

Casumo — the modern slots-and-live brand

Casumo runs on Recro Limited’s licence at account 61549, licence 061549-R-336718-002. The brand positions itself as a modern mobile-first casino, with a slots catalogue that leans on the larger studios and a live-casino section that is broader than most UK-licensed brands. The welcome offer is a matched deposit at the regulator’s 10x cap, paired with free spins on a popular slot, and the bonus structure is straightforward.

For a player who plays on mobile and wants a modern interface, Casumo is the strongest match. While the matched deposit is competitive, the bonus structure is designed for the high-volume player rather than the casual bonus-hunter.

Midnite — the newer UK-licensed brand

Midnite runs on Dribble Media Limited’s licence at account 42647, licence 042647-R-321653-022. The brand is newer than most of the table, and the licence is correspondingly recent in the register. The welcome offer is competitive: a matched deposit at or close to the regulator’s 10x cap, with free spins on a named slot. The catalogue is smaller than at the older brands, but the bonus structure is clean.

For a player who wants a fresh brand with a competitive welcome and is comfortable with a smaller game library, Midnite is a sensible pick. For a player who wants the deepest catalogue in the UK market, an older brand is a better fit.

PokerStars — the poker-first brand

PokerStars runs on Stars Interactive Limited’s licence at account 39108, licence 039108-R-319334-026. The Stars Group is one of the larger gambling companies in the world, and the UK-facing domain is Pokerstars.uk rather than the global pokerstars.com — the .uk domain is the GB-licensed version. The welcome offer is built around poker rather than slots, with a smaller slot welcome layered on top.

For a player whose main play is poker and who wants a slot welcome as a secondary feature, PokerStars is the right name in the table. For a slots-only player, the offer is not the strongest available.

Jackpotjoy — the other Gamesys product

Jackpotjoy runs on Gamesys Operations Limited’s licence at account 38905, licence 038905-R-319430-022 — the same licence as Virgin Games. The two brands share an operator, share a complaint route, and share a GAMSTOP enrolment. The welcome offer at Jackpotjoy is built around slots and bingo, with a structure that mirrors Virgin Games.

For a player who likes the Gamesys product set but prefers the Jackpotjoy brand identity over Virgin Games, the practical difference between the two is small. For a player comparing the two on offer alone, the headline amounts tend to be similar.

What the 10x Cap Has Actually Changed

The 10x wagering cap has been in force since 19 December 2025, and the change shows up most clearly in the spread of welcome bonuses on offer. Before the cap, the typical UK deposit bonus sat at 35x wagering, which asked for £3,500 of qualifying play on a £100 bonus. Under the cap, the same bonus asks for £1,000 — a 71% reduction in turnover per pound of bonus. Operators responded by raising the headline bonus amount, but the structural shift is that the wagering requirement is now a small part of the cost of claiming a bonus, where it used to be the dominant cost.

The change has not removed the wagering requirement, and it has not made bonuses free. A £100 bonus at 10x still asks for £1,000 of play, and the expected loss on that play is around £40 on a 96% RTP slot. The cap has moved the offer closer to break-even for the player, but the expected loss is still a real number, and the time to clear the bonus is still a real cost.

The second part of the December 2025 rule — the ban on mixed-product bonuses — has removed the offers that combined a sports bet with casino spins. Those offers used to be the cheapest way to clear a casino bonus, because the sports bet was a separate product with a separate wagering requirement. Their removal is the part of the rule that has cut more offers from the market than the 10x cap itself.

Tax, Withdrawals and the Offshore Caveat

UK players pay no tax on gambling winnings, regardless of the size. The operator pays Remote Gaming Duty, raised from 21% to 40% from 1 April 2026 — a model-only figure, and the reader should check HMRC for the current rate before relying on it. The tax point matters for the player only in the sense that a higher operator tax tends to flow into tighter margins on bonuses and promotions over time, and a 40% rate is high enough that operators are unlikely to keep offering generous welcome packages without adjusting them somewhere.

The offshore caveat is the structural reason the rest of the page matters. A casino licensed outside the UK — in Curaçao, Malta or Gibraltar — is not licensed to take customers in Great Britain unless it also holds a Commission licence. The Commission can disrupt illegal sites through cease-and-desist notices, search-engine delisting and payment referrals, but it has no ISP-blocking power, and a player who signs up at an offshore site loses the protection the rest of this page describes. No GAMSTOP, no Commission complaints route, no approved ADR, no stake limits, no credit-card ban. The bonus on an offshore site can be larger, because the operator does not have to fund a UK regulator’s safer-gambling infrastructure, and the wagering requirement can be higher, because there is no 10x cap. The cost of accepting a larger bonus on an unlicensed site is the entire package of player protection that comes with the licence.

What to Read in a Welcome Bonus Before Claiming

The bonus amount is the first number on the page, and it is the least informative. The five numbers that decide whether a welcome bonus is worth claiming sit beneath the headline: the wagering requirement (capped at 10x for deposit bonuses since 19 December 2025), the game weighting (slots usually count 100%, table games often 10% or 0%), the max-bet rule (usually £5 per spin, or £2 for an 18-24 player), the expiry window (usually 7 to 30 days from credit), and any cap on winnings from a no-deposit or free-spin component.

The expiry window is the easiest to miss. A welcome bonus that does not get cleared inside its window expires, and any bonus funds left in the account at expiry are forfeit. The window varies by operator: 7 days is tight, 30 days is comfortable, anything shorter than 7 days is hard to clear without a long uninterrupted session. The free-spin expiry is usually tighter than the cash-bonus expiry, and any winnings from the spins are usually credited as bonus funds with their own wagering requirement and their own expiry.

The withdrawal cap on a no-deposit bonus is the single sharpest restriction in this market. A £10 no-deposit chip with a 35x wagering requirement and a £50 max-cashout cap means the player can clear the bonus and still not be able to withdraw more than £50 from it, regardless of how the bonus cleared. The cap is there because the operator is giving away free money, and it is the reason no-deposit bonuses are usually worth less than the headline suggests.

The Verdict on the Ranking

The honest answer to “which UK casino has the best welcome bonus” depends on what the reader is comparing. On raw matched-deposit size at the regulator’s 10x cap, 32Red and Casumo are the strongest in the table. On free-spin count, Sky Vegas leads. On clean terms and a modern mobile interface, Casumo and Midnite are the strongest. On a familiar UK brand name, Betfred is the strongest. On shared-licence breadth (GAMSTOP enrolment covers multiple brands at once), Gala Bingo’s LC International licence covers the most ground. On a poker-first player, PokerStars is the only sensible name in the table.

No single brand is the right answer for every reader, and the ranking is not a recommendation to play at any of them. What it is, is a comparison of what each licensed operator offers under the rules the regulator has set, so that the choice between them can be made on the same set of numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a welcome bonus and a no-deposit welcome bonus?

A welcome bonus requires a deposit and matches it with bonus funds or free spins; a no-deposit welcome bonus credits a small amount of bonus cash or spins on registration, before any money has been paid in. No-deposit bonuses carry higher wagering requirements and a max-cashout cap.

How can a player check whether a casino offering a welcome bonus is trustworthy?

Search the Gambling Commission’s public register for the brand name and the licence number on the casino’s site. The register lists the legal entity behind every GB-licensed operator, the licence number, and the status of the domain.

What wagering requirement currently applies to UK welcome bonuses?

Since 19 December 2025, wagering requirements on deposit bonuses at GB-licensed casinos have been capped at 10x the bonus amount. Free spins and no-deposit bonuses carry their own wagering, which is set by the operator and is not capped at the same level.

Does a welcome bonus expire if it is not used within a set time?

Yes. Most welcome bonuses expire within 7 to 30 days of being credited, and any bonus funds left in the account at expiry are forfeit. The expiry window varies by operator and is in the bonus terms.

Can a welcome bonus be claimed on a mobile casino app as well as desktop?

Yes, at GB-licensed casinos. The bonus is linked to the player account rather than the device, and a single account can claim the welcome offer once, regardless of whether the first play is on mobile, desktop or tablet.

Is a welcome bonus only available to new customers?

Yes, by definition. A welcome bonus is the offer made on the first deposit or the first registration, and a player who has already held an account at the brand cannot claim it again. The same operator running several brands (Gamesys running Virgin Games and Jackpotjoy, for instance) treats each brand as a separate account for welcome-bonus purposes.
