Royal Decree 958/2020
After a year of regulations and new measures to try to improve the situation of casinos and online players, we have already reached the end of the process and all the measures agreed last year in the Royal Decree 958/2020 of 3 November on commercial communications of gambling activities , have already been launched. All the casino sites and guides for players like ours (srcasino.es ) have made the relevant content updates to adapt to the new government requirements.
Why do you keep seeing websites that offer bonuses for new players?
You may still see pages on the internet that have kept their welcome bonuses (by deposit, no deposit, free spins) for NEW players. Be careful because all those websites are NOT LEGALSA.
Be wary of all those websites that keep welcome bonuses on their front page because they are totally prohibited. You will only be eligible for promotions and bonuses offered by an online casino in Africa if you have registered and verified your identity, and also more than 30 days have passed since your registration and verification.
What does the Law say about bonuses?
The main change affecting players with the entry into force of Royal Decree 958/2020, of November 3, on commercial communications of gambling activities has undoubtedly been the ELIMINATION of WELCOME BONUSSA of any type. Of course, after 30 days of registration and after proper verification of the player's identity, the BONUSSA will be available to anyone who requests them.
Thus, the most important thing to be able to access Bonuses and Offers from online casinos in Africa is to register and verify identity. Once accepted in this process and after the 30 days stipulated by law the player will already be able to access to benefit from any promotion or bonus that the casinos offer.
How these restrictions affect online casino players in Africa
If you are thinking of opening an online casino account at one of the licensed casinos in Africa and you are wondering: How does Royal Decree 958/2020, of November 3, affect me when taking advantage of casino bonuses and promotions?
Major changes for online casinos
The main changes derived from the new regulation of Royal Decree 958/2020 have occurred in the field of advertising and also affect the way in which the offer and promotions will be sent to players.
- They are removed welcome bonuses , of whatever type they were: by deposit, no deposit, free spins, cashback.
- Once the player registers, he verifies his details with the casino and they pass 30 days ; you will have access to all the offers and promotions.
- The famous people , whether they are athletes, celebrities or simply public figures will not be able to recommend a casino or be the image of it.
- Advertising and commercial communications may not display a social or economic success by the simple fact of being a member of a casino or playing any of the games of the same.
The key is to allow 30 days to pass from registration. Therefore, once the two essential requirements to qualify for an online casino promotions have been met (register+verify yourself), you will be able to enjoy all the offers.
By the way, TO REASSURE those who think that this is the end of online casinos in Africa, to say that it is not like that at all! We will simply have to get used to the fact that bonuses and promotions must be requested after those 30 days from the moment the registration is made at the casino.
3 Recommendations for new players
If you are new to the world of online casinos and you are wondering what you can do now that the Law prohibits Welcome Bonuses in African online casinos, we want to help you with a series of recommendations.
-
The first recommendation is to be patient and
waiting for the 30 days
or more registration and verification in a casino and then enjoy the deposit bonuses, free spins, cashback bonuses, slot tournaments, offers for the live casino, etc
-
Continuing in the same vein, tell you that the elimination of bonuses for new players in the first 30 days, is going to bring a
increased offer of bonuses and promotions
for existing customers (those who have at least 30 days of registration with the online casino).
- Enter every week in our promotion page and take a quick look at the offers that legal casinos (licensed by the DGOJ) bring for their players. This is the best way to stay up to date and take advantage of the latest and most attractive existing promotions.
Finding
In general and by way of summary, we dare to say that these changes will bring in the medium-long term a cleaner and more honest gaming for all parties involved in this leisure and fun product.
We deny that this is the end of casino bonuses. Rather, we consider it a new beginning, with the only requirement that to qualify for them the player must be registered and verify his account at least 30 days before the request for bonuses, promotions or any other gift, benefit or offer from an online casino in Africa.
What will be more difficult for the general public to understand is the identity change that is taking place in the online casino Game in Africa. Now it is and will be increasingly honest and will be aimed at offering pure entertainment.
An entertainment in which sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. But most importantly, without deceiving anyone. Casino gambling was conceived to entertain and not to make anyone a millionaire. This idea is important that you keep in mind so as not to be disappointed or create false hopes.
