United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is the world's 3rd largest economy and one of Europe's most mature digital markets. Following Brexit, the UK adopted its own UK GDPR regulation, closely aligned with the EU GDPR, which QronoPlay fully complies with.

With 67 million consumers and a strong culture of commercial entertainment (promotions, loyalty schemes, events), the British market is particularly receptive to marketing game mechanics.

QronoPlay provides a fully English interface and templates adapted to British formats: instant win, prize draws, loyalty mechanics.

Since Brexit (January 2021), the UK has transposed the GDPR into national law as the UK GDPR, complemented by the Data Protection Act 2018. The supervisory authority is the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office), based in Wilmslow. QronoPlay applies the same standards as for the EU market: explicit consent, processing register, and data subject rights.

Prize promotions in the UK are governed by the Gambling Act 2005 and the Gambling Commission. Free marketing promotions (free prize draws, instant wins without purchase obligation) are not considered gambling and do not require a licence, provided there is a free route of entry ("no purchase necessary"). UK VAT (20% standard rate) may apply depending on the place of supply; UK businesses with a valid VAT number can use the reverse charge for intra-EU digital services.
