About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos was built for one reason: to give UK players who are looking outside the GamStop scheme a straightforward, honest place to compare their options. We're not a casino, we don't take bets, and we don't tell anyone what to do with their money. What we do is research the market, rank what we find against consistent criteria, and lay it out plainly so you can make your own informed choice.

Why we cover casinos not on GamStop

GamStop is the UK's self-exclusion scheme, linked to operators licensed by the Gambling Commission. It's a genuinely useful tool for players who want to step back for a set period. But it only covers UKGC-licensed sites — it has no reach over operators licensed elsewhere, such as Curaçao. That's the gap this site sits in: a growing number of readers search for slots, table games and betting markets outside that scheme, whether because they hold accounts elsewhere, want access to different game studios and bonus structures, or simply prefer a wider international market. We report on that market as it exists, without moralising about the choice to use it.

How we research and rank the sites we list

Every operator that appears in our rankings has been reviewed against the same set of practical factors, and no brand pays to move up the list — commission from an operator, where it exists, never decides position.

• Licensing and operator background — where the site is registered and how transparent it is about ownership and terms
• Game range and software providers — the breadth of slots, table games and live-dealer options, and whether the studios behind them are recognisable
• Bonus terms — headline offers are checked against wagering requirements, maximum cashout limits and game contribution rules, not just the advertised percentage
• Payment methods — deposit and withdrawal options relevant to UK players, along with any fees or processing delays we can identify
• Site usability and support — how easy the platform is to navigate on desktop and mobile, and whether help is genuinely reachable

Sites such as Betmica, Kikibet and Betninja sit near the top of our current list because they score consistently well across these points, not because of a single standout feature. That said, every operator has trade-offs, and we flag them rather than glossing over them.

What our editorial process does and doesn't involve

We research each operator's public terms, licensing information, game library and payment documentation, and we cross-check bonus terms against the small print rather than the marketing copy. We do not deposit funds, place wagers or withdraw winnings as part of this process — our reviews are based on documented research and verification, not first-hand play. Where information is unclear or an operator's terms change, we update the listing rather than leave outdated claims in place.

A note on responsible choices

Using a site outside GamStop doesn't remove the value of thinking carefully about how much time and money you commit to gambling. Self-exclusion tools exist because they help some players, and stepping outside one scheme doesn't mean those habits stop mattering. If you want to understand self-exclusion options that apply more broadly, or set your own limits regardless of which sites you use, our Responsible Gambling page covers that in more detail.

Where to find the rest of our research

This page explains who we are and how we work; it isn't the place for rankings or terms. For the current list of reviewed operators, comparison tables and detail on bonuses, payment methods and games, see our main guide to non GamStop casinos in the UK. Our full terms of use for this site are set out on the Terms and Conditions page, and if you have a question we haven't answered here, our Contact Us page has the details.

If you've spotted outdated information, want to suggest an operator for review, or just have a question about how we work, we'd rather hear about it than leave the page wrong. Reach out through our contact page and we'll get back to you.
