About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos is an independent research site for UK players looking at gambling sites not on Gamstop. We're not an operator, we don't take bets, and we have no say in who signs up where. What we do is look closely at casinos and betting sites that sit outside the UK's self-exclusion scheme, so readers can see how they compare before deciding anything for themselves.

Who We Are and What We Do

Our team pulls together publicly available information on international operators — licensing, game libraries, payment options, bonus terms and site history — and turns it into plain-language comparisons. We built Non Gamstop Casinos because most of what's written about non Gamstop casinos online is either thin marketing copy or blanket warnings with no detail behind them. We try to sit between the two: factual, specific, and honest about the trade-offs.

Why This Site Exists

GAMSTOP is a free UK self-exclusion tool that blocks a person from accessing gambling accounts with GAMSTOP-registered operators for a period they choose. Some players who've self-excluded still want to gamble and look for sites operating under licences outside the UK Gambling Commission's remit — typically regulated in jurisdictions such as Curaçao. These sites are legal for operators to run and for adults to use; they simply sit outside the UK's own exclusion register, which only applies to operators who've registered with it. We don't tell readers whether they should or shouldn't use these sites — that's a personal decision — but we do think anyone considering it deserves accurate information rather than guesswork.

How We Rate and Rank the Sites We Cover

Every operator listed on Non Gamstop Casinos is assessed against the same set of criteria, applied consistently:

• Licensing and operator background — we check which jurisdiction issues the site's licence and how long the brand has been trading
• Game range — slots, table games, live dealer studios and any niche formats like crash games or virtuals
• Payment options — the deposit and withdrawal methods on offer, and any processing times or limits attached to them
• Bonus terms — not just the headline percentage, but wagering requirements, maximum cashout caps and game restrictions
• Support and site usability — how easy the platform is to navigate and how contactable the operator is

Ratings are editorial judgements based on this research, not customer review scores, and no operator can pay to move up the list. Commission from affiliate links pays for the site — it doesn't decide the order operators appear in. Where a brand falls short on terms, transparency or track record, we say so, including for sites near the top of our tables.

What "Non Gamstop" Actually Covers

Readers sometimes assume these platforms are a single narrow category, but the offering is broader than that. Most of the sites we review combine several product types under one account:

• Casino games — slots from various studios, blackjack, roulette and baccarat tables, and live-dealer rooms streamed from studios
• Sports and betting markets — many operators listed also run a sportsbook alongside the casino, covering football, tennis, esports and similar markets, which is why you'll see them described as betting sites not on Gamstop as well as casinos
• Poker and specialist formats — a smaller number of operators focus on poker rooms or crypto-based games rather than a general casino floor

Payment methods vary by operator but commonly include debit cards, e-wallets, Paysafe vouchers and cryptocurrency, each with its own processing times, minimums and, in some cases, withdrawal fees — we cover the specifics for each site individually rather than assuming they're identical across the board.

What We Won't Do

We won't invent licensing status, claim a bonus is risk-free, or present a rating as if it were a verified player review. We also won't tell anyone that gambling on sites outside GAMSTOP is illegal, because it isn't — these are legitimate international operators, and using one is a matter of personal choice, not law-breaking. What we do insist on is that readers go in with accurate expectations: eligibility rules, deposit requirements and bonus terms sit next to every offer we mention, not buried in small print elsewhere.

Our full site terms are set out on the Terms and Conditions page, and if you've spotted something that needs correcting or want to ask about our process, the Contact Us page is the place to reach us.

A Site Built for Adults Making Their Own Decisions

Everything on Non Gamstop Casinos is intended for readers aged 18 and over. We assume our audience is capable of weighing information and making their own call — our job is to make sure that information is accurate, current as of our last review, and free of the exaggerated claims that clutter a lot of gambling content online.
