From what I've heard, they require you to accept a certain amount of shifts of certain types (like weekday afternoon shifts, or weekend night shifts which are the busiest) and they have a very excessive mandatory "equipment deposit charge".

It also looks like they're implementing a new scheduling system in a week, which will prevent there being too many riders active in an area, but that means they'll decide which riders get the first pick of the time slots they want.

As with any "sharing economy" company, expect to be "employed" on capricious and arbitrary terms. Go to some Deliveroo rider-specific web forums and you can understand a bit better.
