About Us

Sites Not On Gamstop is an independent research site for adults in the UK who want to understand casinos that are not part of GamStop before they sign up. We explain how these sites work, what their bonuses really require, and where the risks sit. This page sets out who we are, how we work and what we can and cannot promise.

Facts on this page were last checked on 29 September 2026.

Why this site exists

Many readers arrive knowing little about licensing, wagering requirements or withdrawal checks. Casino marketing rarely helps. Headline offers are prominent, while the conditions that decide their value sit further down the page.

Our aim is to put those conditions next to the offer, so you can judge for yourself. We cover:

• casino features, games and software providers
• bonuses, free spins, cashback and wagering rules
• payments, withdrawal limits and identity checks
• sports betting and esports betting on the same sites
• complaints routes and the protections you do and do not have

Our main guide to non GamStop casinos is the best place to start.

What "not on GamStop" means, in plain terms

GamStop is the national self-exclusion scheme for online gambling licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, which regulates gambling in Great Britain. Sites outside that licensing system usually do not check the GamStop register, so a GamStop registration will not block you from them.

That has consequences. An overseas licence, such as one issued in Curaçao, is a different regime from a UK Gambling Commission licence. A casino accepting British customers is not the same as being authorised by the Commission to serve them. Protections such as UK-style dispute routes, mandatory affordability checks and the linked exclusion tools may not apply. We say so where it matters.

If you have registered with GamStop because gambling was causing you harm, we would not want this site to be a way around that decision. Please read our responsible gambling page, and consider contacting GamCare, which offers free, confidential support.

How we research and rate casinos

We should be clear about method. We review operators' published terms, licensing statements, payment pages, game lists and support information, and we check them against what the casino advertises. We do not claim to have deposited, played or withdrawn money at any casino, and we do not present advertised speeds as tested results.

Each casino is looked at against the same points:

1. Licensing and ownership: what the casino says about its licence and operator, and whether we can verify it.
2. Bonus terms: wagering requirements, game contribution, maximum bet limits, expiry dates and cashout caps.
3. Payments: availability of GBP accounts, debit cards, bank transfer, e-wallets and crypto, plus fees and currency conversion.
4. Withdrawals: stated limits, processing times, and identity or source-of-funds checks.
5. Games and betting: slots, live dealer tables and sportsbook coverage.
6. Support and complaints: contact routes and how disputes are handled.
7. Player protection: deposit and loss limits, self-exclusion and cooling-off tools.

Where information is casino advertising rather than something we could confirm, we label it that way. Where a question is unresolved, we say that too.

What our ratings are

The scores next to each casino are editorial ratings. They reflect our own assessment of the published information. They are not customer review scores, and they are not a guarantee of how any account will be treated. A high rating does not make a casino completely safe.

The casinos we currently feature

Our top list currently includes Betmica, Kikibet, Betninja, WinnerIsland, Zombillion, Smash Casino, Nightluck, CoinPoker, Rivo and Daytonaspin. The selections are supplied to us by the publisher, and we then assess and rank them on the criteria above.

Some points about the group as a whole:

• Welcome offers vary widely in currency as well as size. Some are shown in pounds, others in euros or dollars, so check whether a GBP account is available or whether currency conversion fees will apply.
• Large headline percentages usually come with wagering requirements, maximum bet rules and cashout caps. A bigger number is not automatically better value.
• Availability of features such as PayPal, cards or crypto differs by casino and can change, so confirm on the casino's own cashier before depositing.

How we are funded

We may earn a commission if you follow a link to a casino and sign up. That is how the site pays for its research. Commission does not buy position: it does not decide rankings, ratings or what we say about a casino's drawbacks. Every casino we cover has limitations, and we state them.

What we ask of you

• You must be 18 or over.
• Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Gambling is not a source of income or a fix for money problems.
• Read the bonus terms and the licensing information before you deposit.
• Use deposit limits and take breaks. If gambling is a concern, use blocking software and speak to GamCare.

Our full terms and conditions explain how you may use this site.

Corrections and questions

Terms change, and we can get things wrong. If you spot an out-of-date detail or want to raise a concern, use our contact page. We will review it and update the relevant guide where the information can be verified.
