About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos was built for one reason: players who search for casinos not on GamStop struggle to find honest, current information. GamStop's self-exclusion scheme only covers operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, so anyone who wants to keep playing has to look at sites regulated elsewhere. We research those sites, compare them against each other, and lay out what we find in plain language, so readers can make their own informed choice.

Who We Are and What We Do

We're a small editorial team focused entirely on the non-GamStop casino space. We don't operate any of the casinos we cover, and we don't take instructions from them on what to write. Our job is to track new casinos not on GamStop as they launch, revisit existing ones as their terms change, and keep a ranked comparison that reflects what a player would actually encounter after signing up — not just what a marketing page claims.

This site sits alongside our main list of non GamStop casinos in 2026, where we keep the full rankings up to date, and our Responsible Gambling page, which we think is essential reading for anyone who has previously self-excluded.

How We Rate and Rank Casinos

Every casino on our list is assessed against the same set of practical criteria, so the comparisons are like-for-like rather than a collection of separate opinions. We look at:

• Licensing and where the operator is based, since this affects what protections apply and how disputes get handled
• The clarity and fairness of welcome offers, including wagering requirements and any caps on winnings
• The breadth of the game library — slots, table games and live-dealer options — and which studios supply them
• Payment methods available to UK players, along with withdrawal times and any fees
• How responsive and useful customer support is when we make contact

Commission from a casino appearing on this site never buys a higher position. If an operator advertises with us, that relationship sits separately from the rating itself, and it's disclosed wherever it's relevant. A brand with a strong bonus but shaky support, for example, will still score lower than one with a smaller offer but a smoother experience end to end.

A Look at the Casinos We Cover

Our current list ranges from long-established names to newer entrants, and the differences between them matter more than the headline numbers suggest.

Betmica tops our list, largely on the strength of its Welcome Offer of 570% up to £5,700 plus 270 free spins, one of the largest packages we track. A bonus this size will carry substantial wagering requirements, so it suits players who plan to spend time working through the terms rather than withdrawing quickly.

Kikibet follows closely, with a 350% match up to £5,555 and 300 free spins. It's a more balanced structure than Betmica's, though as with any match this large, the free spins typically come with their own separate wagering conditions worth checking before opting in.

Betninja rounds out our top three with a flat £1,000 bonus and 100 free spins for new players. It's simpler to understand than the percentage-based offers above it, which makes it a reasonable starting point for players who find tiered bonus structures confusing, though the flat cash amount is lower than what the top two brands offer.

Further down the list, casinos like WinnerIsland, Zombillion, Smash Casino, Nightluck, CoinPoker, Rivo and Daytonaspin each bring their own variations on welcome packages and cashback terms. We keep the full comparison, including current editorial ratings, on our main casino rankings page.

Why We Cover Casinos Not on GamStop at All

GamStop is a UK-only self-exclusion tool tied to Gambling Commission licensees. It doesn't extend to operators licensed in other jurisdictions, such as Curaçao, which is why casinos not on GamStop continue to operate legally and remain accessible to UK residents. Nothing about playing at these sites is illegal, and we don't take a position on whether someone should or shouldn't play — that's a personal decision. What we do is make sure the information available to make that decision is accurate: how these casinos differ from UKGC-licensed sites in terms of regulation, what protections do and don't carry over, and what to check before depositing anywhere.

Many of the operators we review also run sportsbooks alongside their casino products, covering football, tennis, horse racing and esports betting for players who want more than slots and table games. We treat these as a genuine adjacent option rather than an afterthought, since a number of readers arrive specifically looking for betting sites not on GamStop rather than casino games.

What We Won't Do

We won't tell you gambling without GamStop is risk-free, and we won't dress up an offer as something it isn't. Every bonus we list comes with the wagering requirements, caps or minimum deposits that apply to it, because a headline percentage means very little without that context. If you've previously self-excluded and are weighing up whether to look at non-GamStop sites, our Responsible Gambling page covers the tools and support options worth knowing about first.

Getting in Touch

If you've spotted something inaccurate, want to suggest a casino for review, or just have a question about how we work, our Contact Us page has the details. We aim to keep this site current as offers, licensing details and game libraries change, and reader feedback is one of the ways we catch what's moved. Full terms for using this site are set out on our Terms and Conditions page.
