What is Bonus Buy Ban?

A bonus buy ban is a regulatory prohibition on selling direct entry to a slot's bonus round. The United Kingdom, the Netherlands and several other regulated markets have imposed one. The reasoning is about pace rather than odds. Buying the feature does not worsen the published return, but it removes the wait that would otherwise sit between decisions and multiplies the stake per decision by sixty or a hundred. Regulators treated that compression of time and money as a structural risk rather than a preference. The practical effect for players is that the same game behaves differently by market. A title listed here with a feature buy will not offer one on a UK licence, and a review that mentions the option without naming the jurisdiction is describing only part of the picture.
