Most write-ups of Nolimit City's Tanked list the same specification. Few explain what happens to that specification at a casino licensed in Great Britain. This article gives Tanked's RTP, maximum win and UK stake limit, and shows which parts of the game a British player can actually use.
The game in brief
Tanked was released on 3 December 2024, after an early-access window from 26 November. Four animal warlords fight on a grid that starts at 6×6 and can grow to 9×9. There are no paylines. Under Nolimit City's xLoot system, a moving character earns a payout when it collects symbols of its own colour. Wilds can be collected by any character.
Nolimit City's published figures:
| Specification | Provider figure |
|---|---|
| RTP | 96.04% |
| Volatility | Extreme |
| Hit frequency | 20.17% |
| Maximum payout | 25,000× bet |
| Max-win probability | 1 in 30 million |
| Free spins frequency | 1 in 249 |
| Bet range | €0.20–€100 |
The base game has a lot of moving parts:
- Multipliers from x2 to x1000 can be picked up by any character. They are additive and apply to that character's wins.
- Barrel Bombs and xBombs expand the grid. The xBomb also removes paying symbols and raises the overall multiplier.
- Tank Boosters (Rocket, Grenade, Power Drill and Airstrike) clear enemies.
- xNudge Wilds drop down the reels to build multipliers.
- xSplit divides paying symbols and doubles their value.
Three Bonus symbols award five Carnage Spins, which carry over multipliers and kill counts from the base game. Four award Carnage Royale: seven spins on a full 9×9 grid with a boosted starting multiplier. Mayhem Spins start when all characters lose their three lives in the same explosion. They play on the maximum grid with a large starting multiplier, and every character has one life.
The xGOD symbol triggers God Mode, which can pay the full 25,000× at once.
Which RTP figure is right
The correct published figure is 96.04%, because that is the number on Nolimit City's own game page. Some review pages also list lower RTP settings. The provider's page does not confirm those settings, so treat them as unverified.
A review cannot tell you which version a particular casino runs. The Gambling Commission's technical standards (RTS 3) require each casino's game information to show the RTP percentage or the likelihood of winning. Check the help or rules screen of the game you are actually playing.
Nolimit City offers a free-play demo. Its page does not say the demo uses the same RTP as any real-money version.
How Great Britain's rules change Tanked
Tanked can lawfully be offered online in Great Britain. A remote casino operating licence from the Gambling Commission allows casino games to be offered through websites, apps and other online services. Once it is offered, these rules decide what the player sees.
Stake cap: £5, or £2 if you are 18 to 24
Tanked meets the legal definition of an online slot. The Gambling Act 2005 (Operating Licence Conditions) (Amendment) Regulations 2025 therefore limit the total stake per game cycle:
- £5 for players aged 25 and over, in force since 9 April 2025.
- £2 for players aged 18 to 24, in force since 21 May 2025.
The cap applies to every game that meets the definition, whatever the provider or casino calls it. The provider's €100 maximum is not available in Britain. Don't convert it into a sterling figure, because some review pages quote £100 and that is not a stake any British player can place. In Britain, the top of Tanked's stake range is £5 or £2, depending on your age.
Feature buys count as stake
Nolimit City lists three paid options:
- xBet at 3× the base bet, which makes bonus modes more likely.
- Four random Tank Boosters at 40× the bet.
- A chance at BYOB! by landing a MAX WIN symbol, at 5,000× the bet.
The Gambling Commission's guidance defines a stake as any amount paid or risked in connection with the game. A feature buy's price is therefore part of that cycle's stake, not an allowance on top of it.
If the base bet plus the buy price would take a cycle over £5, or over £2 for an 18 to 24-year-old, the buy cannot be offered. Some review pages describe different buy options and prices. The figures above come from the provider.
No autoplay
RTS 8A requires the player to commit to each game cycle individually. This has applied to online slots since 31 October 2021. Some review pages mention autoplay of up to 1,000 spins, but no British player has that option. Every Tanked spin needs its own action.
No turbo or slam stop
RTS 14E bans turbo, quick spin, slam stops and any feature that speeds up a result or gives an illusion of control. Tanked's turbo mode is therefore switched off in Britain.
Once a result is shown, you may skip the remaining animations. Skipping does not let you start the next cycle any sooner.
At least 2.5 seconds per spin
Under RTS 14, at least 2.5 seconds must pass from the start of one slot cycle to the start of the next. This is a fixed minimum. A long chain of collections and explosions can run longer, but no spin can run shorter.
No celebrating a loss
RTS 14F bars win-style sounds or animations for any return equal to or below the stake. Tanked often produces small collections, and many of them return less than the bet. In Britain those cycles cannot be dressed up as wins, so a celebration only follows a genuine profit on the cycle.
Limits and self-exclusion
With extreme volatility and a 1-in-30-million top prize, Tanked is best played with a budget set in advance.
Licensed casinos must let you set financial limits from registration. They must also prompt you to set one when you register or first deposit. From 30 September 2026, the technical standards (RTS 12) require gross deposit limits covering 24 hours, seven days and one month. These are limits you choose, not a fixed amount set by the regulator.
GAMSTOP lets you self-exclude from every online operator licensed in Great Britain with a single request. Licensed businesses must take part, and a registered person is blocked from their websites and apps for the period they choose.
