About Us

Casinos Not On Gamstop is an independent research site for adults in the UK who want to understand casinos that operate outside the GAMSTOP scheme. We explain how these sites work, what their offers really involve, and what protections you give up or keep when you use them. We do not tell you what to do. We aim to give you the facts to decide for yourself.

Commercial disclosure: we may earn commission if you join a casino through a link on this site. Commission does not buy a place in our rankings, and it does not change what we say about a casino's drawbacks.

What this site is for

Most people arrive here asking one of three things: what is a non GamStop casino, whether it is legal for me to use one, and which sites are worth a closer look. Our pages cover each of these, along with the practical detail around them:

• Bonuses: welcome offers, deposit bonuses, free spins, cashback, wagering requirements and cashout caps
• Money: minimum deposits, GBP accounts, debit cards, bank transfers, e-wallets, cryptocurrency, fees and currency conversion
• Withdrawals: processing times, limits, identity checks and source-of-funds checks
• Games: slots, progressive jackpots, live dealer games, blackjack, roulette, baccarat and software providers
• Sports betting: pre-match and in-play markets, esports, accumulators, bet builders and cash-out
• Player protection: self-exclusion, deposit and loss limits, complaints procedures and support services

Our main guide, Non GamStop Casinos and Online Casinos for UK Readers, is the best place to start if you want the full comparison.

What "not on GAMSTOP" means, and why it matters

GAMSTOP is the national self-exclusion service for Great Britain. Casinos licensed by the UK Gambling Commission must check it, and if you have registered, they must block you. Casinos not on GAMSTOP are usually licensed overseas, in places such as Curaçao, and are not bound by that requirement.

Two points are often confused. A casino accepting British customers is not the same as being authorised by the UK Gambling Commission to serve them. And Great Britain is not the whole UK, because Northern Ireland has its own regulatory arrangements. We try to keep those distinctions clear throughout.

The trade-offs are real. Overseas-licensed casinos may offer larger bonuses and different payment options. But you usually lose access to the UK regulator's complaints route, the GAMSTOP block, and some of the standards UK-licensed sites must meet. If you have registered with GAMSTOP because gambling was causing you harm, these sites are not a workaround, and we would encourage you to read our responsible gambling page instead.

How we research and rank casinos

We review and verify. We have not claimed to deposit, play or withdraw at any casino, and we do not present advertised figures as tested results. Our work draws on each casino's published terms, licensing statements, payment pages, game lists and support information, checked against what we can confirm independently. Our latest fact-check was on 29 September 2026.

We consider:

1. Licensing and ownership: which licence is claimed, who appears to operate the site, and how clearly this is stated
2. Bonus terms: wagering requirements, game contribution, maximum bet limits, expiry dates and cashout caps
3. Payments: whether GBP accounts, debit cards, e-wallets or crypto are listed, plus stated fees and limits
4. Withdrawals: published processing times, limits and verification rules
5. Games and betting: range of slots, live dealer and table games, and any sportsbook
6. Support and complaints: contact channels and how disputes are handled
7. Safer gambling tools: limits, self-exclusion and links to help

We separate three kinds of information: what we could confirm, what the casino advertises, and what remains unresolved. Where we cannot verify something, we say so. Editorial ratings on this site are our own scores. They are not customer review scores.

The casinos we feature

Our ranked list is supplied by the publisher and currently features Betmica, Kikibet, Betninja, WinnerIsland, Zombillion, Smash Casino, Nightluck, CoinPoker, Rivo and Daytonaspin. Betmica holds the top editorial rating of 10.0 on the list.

Treat every headline bonus as advertising until you have read its terms. Several are quoted in euros or dollars, and a few are large percentage matches. The size of a bonus says little about how easy it is to turn into withdrawable cash. Wagering requirements, capped winnings and expiry dates matter far more. Check whether the casino offers a GBP account, or you may pay currency conversion fees on every deposit and withdrawal.

No casino is completely safe, and we cannot guarantee that any withdrawal will be paid. Each one has limits, and you should read its terms before depositing. Our terms and conditions explain how you may use this site.

Who we write for

Our readers are adults aged 18 or over, mostly in the UK, with very different levels of gambling knowledge. We explain terms like wagering requirements and source-of-funds checks without assuming you know them. We use British English, pounds sterling for examples, and decimal odds when we discuss betting.

Independence and what we will not do

• We do not sell ranking positions
• We do not promise winnings or present gambling as income or a fix for money problems
• We do not name rival publishers or copy casino marketing wording
• We correct errors when we find them

Gambling should be a paid-for form of entertainment, not a way of making money. If it stops feeling that way, GamCare offers free, confidential support, and tools such as deposit limits, self-exclusion and gambling blocking software can help.
