About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos exists to help UK players make sense of a part of the online gambling market that mainstream comparison sites tend to avoid: casinos not on GamStop. We look at what these sites offer, how they operate, and what a player should check before signing up — without moralising about the decision to use them.

Why we cover casinos not on GamStop

GamStop is the UK's national self-exclusion scheme, letting players block themselves from GamStop-registered gambling sites for a set period. Plenty of operators outside the scheme continue to serve UK players, typically holding licences from jurisdictions such as Curaçao rather than the UK Gambling Commission. Interest in these sites has grown steadily, and readers deserve clear, current information rather than guesswork or recycled marketing copy. That's the gap Non Gamstop Casinos fills.

We don't tell readers whether they should or shouldn't use a site outside GamStop — that's a personal decision. What we do is set out the practical differences, so anyone researching the topic can weigh them up with accurate facts.

How we research and rank the sites we list

Our rankings are built from research into each operator's public terms, licensing information, payment options, game libraries and welcome offers. We compare sites against one another on the same criteria every time, rather than judging each in isolation:

• Licensing jurisdiction and how the operator describes its regulatory standing
• Range of payment methods available to UK players, including any e-wallets or crypto options
• Depth of the games library — slots, table games and live-dealer options
• Clarity and fairness of welcome offers, including wagering conditions
• General usability, from account setup through to how withdrawals are described

Commercial relationships never decide position in our rankings. Some operators we feature do pay a referral fee when a reader signs up through our site, and we disclose that plainly — but the research and scoring behind each listing is done independently of any commercial arrangement.

What we look at when reviewing a brand

Take our current top-rated listings as an example of the range covered. Betmica leads our table with a Welcome Offer of 570% up to £5,700 plus 270 free spins — a package size that stands out even by the standards of sites not on GamStop, though offers this large typically carry higher wagering requirements that we'd expect any player to read in full before opting in. Kikibet follows closely with a 350% match up to £5,555 and 300 free spins, a slightly more conservative structure that may suit players who prefer lower deposit thresholds. Betninja rounds out our top three with a flat £1,000 bonus and 100 free spins, a simpler offer that's easier to compare against UK-licensed alternatives but comes with a smaller headline number than the sites above it.

Every write-up on this site includes at least one limitation alongside the positives, because no operator — however highly rated — suits every reader equally.

What sits behind the reviews

Beyond individual write-ups, our main comparison page covers the wider picture: how deposits and withdrawals work at these sites, the difference between slots, table games and live-dealer rooms, the sports betting and other adjacent products many of these operators also run, and the legal position for UK players using sites outside the GamStop network. That detail lives on our Non GamStop Casinos guide rather than being repeated here.

If self-exclusion or gambling harm is a live concern for you or someone close to you, our Responsible Gambling page sets out where to find independent support.

A straightforward approach

We keep our listings updated as offers, licensing details and site availability change, and we review new entrants to the market as they appear. Our full terms for using this site are set out on our Terms and Conditions page. If you've spotted something out of date, or you have a question about how we reached a particular rating, we'd rather hear about it than leave it uncorrected — get in touch via our Contact Us page.

Gambling should always be treated as entertainment, not income, and this site is intended for UK readers aged 18 and over.
