About Us

Casinos Not On Gamstop is an independent research site for adults in the UK who want to understand non GamStop casinos before they decide anything. We explain the offers, the restrictions and the protections that come with them, so you can judge a site on its terms rather than on its advertising.

This page sets out who the site is for, what we cover, how we assess casinos, how we are paid and where the limits of our knowledge lie. Facts on the site were last reviewed on 29 September 2026.

What this site is for

Many readers arrive knowing little about how casinos outside GAMSTOP work. That is a reasonable place to start. Our aim is to give you plain explanations and clear comparisons, not sales pressure.

We cover:

• casino bonuses, including welcome bonuses, deposit bonuses, free spins, no-deposit bonuses, cashback and loyalty rewards;
• the small print: wagering requirements, game contribution, maximum bet limits, expiry dates and cashout caps;
• payments, from debit cards, bank transfers and e-wallets to cryptocurrency, plus fees, currency conversion and withdrawal times;
• games, such as slots, progressive jackpots, live dealer tables, blackjack, roulette and baccarat;
• sports betting, including esports, in-play markets, accumulators, bet builders and cash-out.

Our main guide to non GamStop casinos for UK players is the best place to see the current selection.

Our focus: Curaçao-licensed sites

Much of our research concerns casinos that operate under overseas licences, Curaçao being the most common. We do not treat a licence as a guarantee of quality. An overseas licence means the operator answers to a different regulator, with different rules and different routes for complaints, than a site licensed by the UK Gambling Commission.

It is worth being precise here. A casino that accepts British customers is not the same as one authorised to serve them under UK rules. The UK Gambling Commission regulates gambling in Great Britain, and Northern Ireland has its own arrangements. Sites outside that system are not required to join GAMSTOP, which is why they are outside its protections.

How we assess casinos

We have not bought, played or withdrawn from any casino for the purposes of this site. Our work is desk research: reading published terms, checking what operators state about licensing, ownership, payments and support, and comparing those statements against each other. We call that reviewing and verifying, not testing.

The main factors are:

1. Licensing and ownership: which licence the operator states, and how clearly the company behind the brand is identified.
2. Bonus terms: wagering requirements, game contribution, maximum bet while a bonus is active, expiry and cashout limits.
3. Payments: whether GBP accounts are offered, which methods are listed, stated fees, currency conversion and stated withdrawal limits and timings.
4. Verification: what KYC and source-of-funds checks the terms describe, and how withdrawal disputes are handled.
5. Games and betting range: slots, live dealer, table games, software providers and any sportsbook.
6. Support and complaints: contact channels and the stated complaints procedure.
7. Player protection tools: deposit and loss limits, self-exclusion and links to help such as GamCare.

What our ratings mean

The ratings shown beside each casino are editorial scores from our research. They are not customer-review scores and they do not predict your experience. A high score means a site looked stronger against our criteria on the information available. It does not mean the site is completely safe or that withdrawals are assured.

Casinos we list include Betmica, Kikibet, Betninja, WinnerIsland, Zombillion, Smash Casino, Nightluck, CoinPoker, Rivo and Daytonaspin. Headline bonuses shown on the site are operator advertising. Read the full terms on the casino's own site, because the amount advertised is rarely the amount you can withdraw without meeting conditions.

How we are paid and how we stay independent

Casinos Not On Gamstop may earn a commission if you sign up to a casino through a link on this site. Commission does not buy position: rankings and ratings are set by our criteria, and operators cannot pay to change them. Our terms and conditions explain how the site may be used.

You should still know the limitation. Because we earn from referrals, we have a commercial interest in clicks. That is why we state our method openly and give each casino's drawbacks alongside its strengths.

What we cannot tell you

• We cannot promise that any casino will pay out, or how quickly. Advertised processing times are claims, not results.
• We cannot confirm every payment method works for every UK customer. Availability changes, so check the cashier before depositing.
• Terms change. Always read the current version at the casino before you claim an offer.
• Gambling is not a way to earn money or fix financial problems. Only stake what you can afford to lose.

If gambling is causing you harm

Casinos outside GAMSTOP do not offer its protections. If you have self-excluded, or you are worried about your play, think carefully before using them. GamCare offers free, confidential support on 0808 8020 133, and GAMSTOP lets you exclude yourself from UK-licensed sites for a chosen period. Gambling blocking software can also help. Our responsible gambling guide explains deposit and loss limits, self-exclusion and where to get help.

This site is for adults aged 18 and over.
