About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos was set up for one straightforward reason: British players who have registered with GAMSTOP still want clear, honest information about the wider casino market, including sites operating outside that scheme. We're not a licensing body, a regulator, or a casino ourselves. We're an independent research team that reviews and compares casinos not on GAMSTOP so that readers can make an informed choice rather than guessing which sites are worth their time.

What We Do

Our job is to look at the market of casinos not on GAMSTOP — from established international brands to new casinos not on GAMSTOP that have just launched — and turn that into something usable. We check welcome offers, game libraries, payment options and licensing details, then present them side by side so a reader can compare in minutes rather than hours. Everything on this site, including the ranked list of brands and the detailed guide on non GamStop casinos and how they compare to UK-licensed sites, comes from that same research process.

How We Rate and Rank Casinos

Every operator we feature is assessed against the same set of practical criteria before it earns a position on our list. Commission arrangements with any brand never influence where it sits — a casino paying us to feature does not move it up the rankings, and one that doesn't pay is never left out on that basis alone. The factors we weigh include:

• Licensing and operating jurisdiction — where the casino holds its licence, typically Curaçao for the sites we cover, and what that means in practice for the reader
• Game range — the breadth and quality of slots, table games and live-dealer options on offer
• Payment methods — the deposit and withdrawal options available, including whether cards, e-wallets or crypto are supported, and how long payouts typically take
• Bonus terms — the headline welcome offer alongside the wagering requirements, maximum bet limits and expiry dates attached to it
• Site usability and support — how easy the casino is to navigate on mobile and desktop, and whether customer support is responsive

We update our findings regularly, because operators change their bonus terms, add or drop payment providers, and new casinos not on GAMSTOP enter the market on an ongoing basis. A rating on this site reflects our most recent review, not a one-off snapshot from years ago.

Why We Cover Casinos Outside GAMSTOP

GAMSTOP is a self-exclusion scheme that lets UK players voluntarily block themselves from GAMSTOP-registered gambling sites for a set period. It's a genuinely useful tool for anyone who wants a break from UK-licensed operators. But it only covers sites that have signed up to it, and plenty of legitimately licensed casinos — often regulated in jurisdictions such as Curaçao — operate outside that scheme entirely. Readers who search for casinos not on GAMSTOP are usually looking for a wider choice of welcome offers, a different game selection, or simply an operator that isn't part of the GAMSTOP network. We treat that as a legitimate research question and answer it with facts, not judgement.

What Sets Our Approach Apart

A lot of casino listings online read like advertising copy lifted straight from an operator's own marketing. We do the opposite: we look for the practical details a reader actually needs before signing up, including the limitations. Every brand we cover, including our top-rated picks such as Betmica and Kikibet, is written up with genuine drawbacks alongside the positives — nothing is presented as flawless, because no casino is. Where an offer comes with a spending requirement, a time limit, or a wagering condition, we put that detail next to the offer itself rather than burying it in small print.

Where Responsible Gambling Fits In

Choosing to play at a casino not on GAMSTOP is a personal decision, and this site exists to inform that decision, not to push anyone toward it. We take player welfare seriously and set out practical tools and advice, including how to self-exclude from non-GAMSTOP sites directly with individual operators, on our Responsible Gambling page. Gambling should always be treated as entertainment, kept within a budget the player can afford, and approached with an awareness of the warning signs of harm. All gambling activity on this site is intended for readers aged 18 and over.

Our Commercial Model

Non Gamstop Casinos may earn a commission when a reader clicks through to a casino and signs up, at no extra cost to the reader. This is standard practice across comparison sites and it's how we fund the research that goes into every review. It does not buy an operator a better rating, a higher position, or a more favourable write-up — our assessment criteria are applied consistently across every brand we list.
