About Us

Sites Not On Gamstop is an independent research site for UK adults who want to understand casinos operating outside GamStop before they consider one. We explain bonuses, payments, withdrawals, games and the protections that are, and aren't, in place. The site is edited by Liam Littlewood.

This page tells you who we are, how we work, how the site is funded and where our limits lie. If you only read one thing: we compare and explain, we don't tell anyone to gamble, and nothing here is a guarantee of safety, winnings or withdrawals.

Commercial disclosure: how the site earns money

We may earn a commission if you follow a link to an operator and later sign up or deposit. That is how the site is funded. Commission does not buy position: the publisher supplies the casino selections and top lists, and our written assessments of terms, payments and limitations are not adjusted for payment. Read our Terms and Conditions for the formal position.

What we set out to do

• Explain non GamStop casinos in plain English, without assuming you know licensing or wagering jargon.
• Show the conditions that sit behind headline bonuses.
• Cover payments, withdrawal limits and identity checks before they become a surprise.
• Point readers to support and self-exclusion tools throughout.

Why non GamStop casinos need extra care

GamStop is the national self-exclusion scheme for licensed gambling in Great Britain. Operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission must take part. A casino that is not on GamStop is generally licensed elsewhere, often under an overseas licence such as Curaçao, and is not bound by UK Gambling Commission rules.

That has practical consequences. Accepting British customers is not the same as being authorised to serve them under British law. UK-style protections, complaint routes and dispute rights may be weaker or absent. If you have registered with GamStop, signing up elsewhere undermines a decision you made to protect yourself. Our Responsible Gambling page covers exclusion, deposit and loss limits, blocking software and GamCare support.

How we research and rate casinos

We have not tested casinos with our own money, and we don't claim to. Our work is desk research: reading published terms, checking what an operator states about its licence, payments and games, and comparing that across brands. Where we can't confirm something, we say so.

We separate three kinds of information:

1. Confirmed: details we have verified against the operator's own published terms or a regulator's register.
2. Advertised: claims the casino makes, such as bonus sizes or speeds, which we present as claims and not as results.
3. Unresolved: anything we couldn't verify, including whether a payment method works for UK accounts.

Our factors include:

• Bonus terms: wagering requirements, game contribution, maximum bet, expiry and cashout caps.
• Payments: GBP accounts, card, bank transfer, e-wallet and crypto availability, fees and currency conversion.
• Withdrawals: stated limits, processing times and verification requirements.
• Games and betting: slots, live dealer, table games and sportsbook coverage.
• Licensing and ownership: what the operator discloses.
• Support and complaints: how problems can be raised.

Our factual checks were last reviewed on 29 September 2026. Terms change often, so always read the current terms on the operator's site.

What our ratings mean

The scores you see on the top list are editorial ratings. They are not customer review scores and not a measure of safety or payout certainty. A high rating means the operator scored well on our criteria on the information available. It does not mean you will win, or be paid quickly.

The casinos we currently feature

Our top list currently features Betmica, Kikibet, Betninja, WinnerIsland, Zombillion, Smash Casino, Nightluck, CoinPoker, Rivo and Daytonaspin. Some advertise offers in pounds, others in euros or dollars, which raises currency conversion costs for a GBP account. Big headline percentages usually come with high wagering, so compare the conditions, not just the number. Our main guide, Non GamStop Casinos – Best Online Casinos UK, sets them side by side.

What we will not do

• Describe any casino as completely safe.
• Promise withdrawals or winnings.
• Present gambling as income or a way out of money worries.
• Target anyone under 18. You must be 18 or over.

Limits of this site

We are not a regulator, a law firm or a financial adviser. Offers change, operators alter terms, and our research can lag behind. If you spot an error, tell us via Contact Us and we will review it.

If gambling stops feeling like fun

Free, confidential support is available in Britain through GamCare and the National Gambling Helpline. GamStop lets you self-exclude from licensed operators for a chosen period. Set deposit and loss limits, and consider blocking software if you need extra barriers. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
