About Us

Who We Are

Casinos Not On Gamstop is an independent comparison site built for UK players who are registered with Gamstop and are looking for information about casino options that sit outside that scheme. We research, review and rank offshore casino brands so that readers can make informed decisions — without having to wade through sites that bury the important details in small print.

We are based in Great Britain and write exclusively for a GB audience. All prices and deposit amounts on this site are quoted in GBP unless an operator sets its own base currency, in which case we say so clearly.

We are editorially independent. The casinos listed on this site may pay a commission if a reader follows a link and registers, but that commercial relationship has no bearing on how we score or order operators. Our rankings are determined by the criteria set out below, and every recommendation carries an honest assessment of limitations alongside its strengths.

What We Cover and Why

Every site we review operates under a licence issued outside the UK Gambling Commission's jurisdiction — typically from regulators such as those in Curaçao, Malta or Gibraltar. That means they are not enrolled in Gamstop and are therefore accessible to players who have self-excluded through that scheme. It also means they carry a different set of consumer protections than a UKGC-licensed casino would. We explain those differences plainly on our main casino listings page so readers understand exactly what they are signing up to.

We do not review UKGC-licensed casinos on this site — there are many excellent resources for those. Our focus is narrow and deliberate: offshore operators that are legitimately licensed in their own jurisdiction, that accept UK players, and that meet a baseline standard of fairness and security that we can verify through available public information.

We also maintain a responsible gambling page with practical guidance for anyone who wants to set their own limits or re-engage with Gamstop at any point. That page is always linked from our navigation, because we believe access to that information should never be buried.

How We Research and Rate Operators

Every casino on this site has been reviewed through a consistent research process. We do not claim to have deposited or played at every site ourselves — we are a research and comparison operation, not a testing lab. What we do is verify, through publicly available information and direct review of each site, the following factors:

• Licensing and regulation — is the operator holding a current licence from a recognised offshore authority, and is that licence verifiable on the regulator's own public register?
• Bonus terms — we read the full terms attached to every welcome offer we list, including wagering requirements, game restrictions, maximum bet rules and expiry windows. We place the material conditions beside each offer rather than in a distant footnote.
• Payment methods — which deposit and withdrawal routes are available to UK players, what fees apply, and what withdrawal timescales are stated by the operator.
• Game library — the range of slots, table games and live-dealer titles on offer, and which software providers supply them.
• KYC and verification policy — whether the site operates with reduced or no KYC requirements, which is a specific concern for many of our readers. We note clearly what each operator's stated policy is.
• Customer support — availability, contact channels and stated response times.
• Site security — SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools and self-exclusion options offered by the operator itself.

Each operator is scored out of 10 across these factors and assigned an editorial rating. Scores are not customer review averages — they are editorial assessments based on the research described above. Commission does not buy a higher position.

The Sites We Currently Recommend

Our rated shortlist reflects the operators we consider to offer the strongest combination of licensing, game range, bonus transparency and payment flexibility for UK players at the time of our last review. The table below summarises how our top-rated sites currently compare on the criteria that matter most to readers of this site.

Full reviews of each operator, including their bonus conditions in detail, can be found on our Non Gamstop Casinos UK listings page.

What We Do Not Do

• We do not list unlicensed operators. Every site we recommend holds a current licence from an offshore regulatory authority.
• We do not invent ratings, counts or specifications. If we cannot verify a figure, we say so or write around it.
• We do not claim that gambling at any of these sites is risk-free, or that any offer is likely to result in profit.
• We do not allow commercial relationships to determine editorial scores. Operators cannot purchase a top ranking.
• All content on this site is intended for readers aged 18 and over. 18+

Keeping Our Reviews Current

Casino offers, terms and licensing arrangements change. We review our listings on a rolling basis and update individual pages when material information changes — new bonus terms, a change in licensing status, or a significant shift in a site's offering. The date shown at the top of each page reflects when that page was last checked, not when the operator launched.

If you notice information that appears to be out of date, we want to know. Use the contact page to send us a note and we will investigate promptly.

Our Editorial Standards

Casinos Not On Gamstop follows a straightforward editorial principle: every reader who lands on this site deserves accurate, honest information presented without hype. That means:

1. Limitations and drawbacks are included in every write-up, including for our highest-rated operators.
2. Bonus conditions — wagering requirements, eligible games, time limits and maximum withdrawal caps — are stated beside the offer they qualify, not in a footnote three pages away.
3. We distinguish between what an operator advertises and what we can independently verify.
4. We are transparent about the fact that we earn commission from some of the operators we list. That disclosure appears on pages where commercial recommendations are made.
