Bonrush Casino review: promoted in the UK, licensed nowhere here

Bonrush Casino is an offshore online casino that does not appear on the GB register and holds no Gambling Commission licence, so it cannot lawfully offer gambling to customers in Great Britain. This Bonrush Casino review looks at why the brand is still so visible to British readers: it is promoted through a large number of third-party pages and look-alike UK domains, most of which say it runs under a Curacao licence.

A licence claim that comes from other people's pages

The Curacao licence is described by review pages, not shown by the casino. The address bonrush.com redirects elsewhere and displays no licence holder, number or regulator. A casino that wants to show it is licensed puts that information in its footer; when the only source is an affiliate page, a reader has nothing firm to check.

The Commission's files of 2 November 2026 show no business, trading name or domain for Bonrush in any form.

How the law treats a site serving Great Britain without a licence

Section 33 of the Gambling Act 2005 makes it an offence to provide facilities for gambling without the right licence, and section 36 applies that to remote gambling used in Great Britain even when the company and its equipment are abroad. The Commission enforces this against operators and the people who promote them:

• since April 2024 it reports 3,140 cease-and-desist and disruption notices to illegal operators, advertisers and affiliates;
• it refers sites to domain registrars, hosts and payment providers;
• it asks search engines to delist illegal pages, covering Google, Bing and Yahoo.

Look-alike UK pages that keep promoting an unlicensed casino risk the advertising offence in section 330 of the same Act.

What the missing licence costs a player

None of the British protections reach Bonrush. There is no GAMSTOP link, no £5 slot stake limit, no 10x bonus wagering cap and no approved ADR provider. The Commission warns that unlicensed sites often skip age checks, may hold back payouts and can expose personal data to fraud.

Sister sites and the no deposit bonus

Two questions come up most: Bonrush sister sites and a Bonrush no deposit bonus. The bonus is not covered, as offers from unlicensed brands are left out. As for sister sites, the GB register groups brands by licence holder account, and Bonrush has none, so no sister brands can be traced through it. Our sister sites section explains how that link works for licensed brands.
