About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos exists for one straightforward reason: to give UK players clear, honest information about casinos operating outside the GamStop self-exclusion scheme. We don't run the casinos we write about, and we're not paid to rank any brand above another. What follows is an explanation of who we are, how we work, and what standards shape every page on this site.

What we do here

We compare and review casinos not on Gamstop, betting sites not on Gamstop, and the slots and games available through them. Most of our readers have self-excluded through GamStop at some point and are looking for gambling options that sit outside that specific UK scheme — international sites licensed elsewhere, such as Curaçao, that GamStop's blocking software doesn't reach. Our job is to lay out what's actually on offer: welcome bonuses, payment methods, game libraries, and the practical differences between operators, so readers can make an informed choice rather than guessing from marketing pages.

How we assess and rank casinos

Every casino featured on this site is reviewed against the same core set of criteria before it earns a position or a rating:

• Licensing and operating jurisdiction, and what that means in practical terms for a UK player
• The clarity and fairness of welcome offers, including wagering requirements and any caps or exclusions attached to them
• Range of games — slots, table games, live dealer options — and the software providers behind them
• Payment methods available to UK customers, along with deposit and withdrawal timeframes
• Site usability, customer support responsiveness, and general account experience

Ratings are our own editorial judgement based on this research. They are not customer review scores, and no casino has paid to appear higher in our rankings — commercial relationships, where they exist, do not influence position. For a full breakdown of the operators we currently rate most highly, see our list of non GamStop casinos in the UK.

Why we cover this space honestly

There's nothing unlawful about a UK adult choosing to play at a casino licensed and regulated outside the GamStop framework — GamStop is a voluntary self-exclusion tool tied to UK Gambling Commission licensees, not a blanket restriction on all gambling. Sites not on GamStop typically hold licences from other regulators, most commonly Curaçao, and operate under different rules around bonuses, verification and consumer protection than UKGC-licensed sites. We explain those differences plainly so readers understand what they're opting into, rather than assuming the two markets work identically.

At the same time, we recognise that some of our readers have self-excluded specifically because they wanted a break from gambling, and this site takes that seriously. We don't dress up bonuses as risk-free, we don't inflate the safety of any operator, and we point readers who need it toward genuine support. Our responsible gambling page covers how self-exclusion works, including how to add restrictions at non-GamStop operators if that's what a reader wants.

What we won't do

We don't invent bonus terms, licensing claims or payment options that aren't confirmed by the operator. We don't publish customer testimonials as if they were our own testing, because we haven't deposited or played at these sites ourselves — our reviews are built from publicly available terms, licensing information and operator disclosures, not hands-on gameplay. If a detail changes or a term looks unclear, we'd rather flag the uncertainty than guess.

A quick note on the offers you'll see

Bonus figures such as Betmica's welcome offer or Kikibet's free spins package are exactly what the operator has published to us at the time of writing — figures like 570% up to £5,700 or 350% up to £5,555 always come with wagering requirements, game restrictions, and time limits set by the casino itself. We list the headline number, but the small print sits with the operator, and we'd always recommend reading their full terms before signing up. Nothing on this site should be read as a guarantee of winnings, value or outcome.
