About Us

Sites Not On Gamstop is an independent, research-based guide to casinos that operate outside GAMSTOP, written for adults in the UK. This page explains what we do, how we choose and rank sites, how we earn money, and where the limits of our knowledge lie.

Our aim is simple: help you understand the offers, restrictions and protections involved before you decide anything. We do not tell you to gamble, and we do not present gambling as income or a fix for money worries.

Who this site is for

Our readers are adults aged 18 or over, mostly in the UK, who are comparing online casinos and want plain answers. Some know the terminology already. Many do not, so we explain wagering requirements, licensing and withdrawal checks rather than assuming you have met them before.

If you have registered with GAMSTOP because you want a break from gambling, please read our responsible gambling guidance first. GAMSTOP is a free tool run for Great Britain, and choosing to bypass it carries real risk.

What we cover

• Casino features and games: slots, progressive jackpots, live dealer tables, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, software providers, RTP and volatility.
• Bonuses: welcome, deposit, free spin, no-deposit and cashback offers, loyalty rewards, and the conditions attached to each.
• Money: GBP accounts, debit cards, bank transfers, e-wallets, PayPal availability, cryptocurrency, fees, currency conversion and withdrawal limits.
• Sports betting: pre-match and in-play markets, esports, accumulators, bet builders, cash-out and free bet terms, with decimal odds used in examples.
• Protections: licensing, KYC checks, complaints routes, self-exclusion and deposit and loss limits.

Our main ranking is on non GamStop casinos in the UK, where each site is reviewed in detail.

How sites are assessed

We have not claimed to deposit, play or withdraw at any casino. Our reviews rest on desk research: reading each operator's published terms, licensing statements, payment and bonus pages, and comparing them side by side. We aim to separate three things:

1. Confirmed information we could check against a primary source, such as a regulator's public register or the casino's own terms.
2. Casino advertising, such as headline bonus figures and speed claims, which we report as claims and not as tested results.
3. Unresolved questions, where terms are unclear or we could not verify something. We say so.

The factors we weigh include bonus conditions (wagering, game contribution, maximum bet, expiry, cashout caps), payment options and stated limits, verification requirements, game range, support access, complaints routes and the licensing information given. Our editorial ratings are our own scores. They are not customer-review scores. Information is checked as of 29 September 2026, and offers change, so confirm terms on the casino's site before acting.

How we make money, and what that does not change

Sites Not On Gamstop may earn a commission when you follow a link to a casino and sign up. That is how the site is funded. Commission does not buy position: rankings and ratings are not sold, and a casino paying more does not rank higher. The publisher supplies the casino selections and top lists we review, and we write our assessments independently of any payment.

Every casino we discuss has drawbacks, including those at the top. Typical ones are large bonuses with demanding wagering, restrictive withdrawal limits, or verification that can delay payouts.

Understanding the regulatory position

Casinos that serve Great Britain lawfully need a licence from the UK Gambling Commission, and that licence requires participation in GAMSTOP. Sites not on GAMSTOP generally hold overseas gambling licences, for example from Curaçao. Accepting British players is not the same as being authorised to serve them, and an overseas licence does not give you UK Gambling Commission protections or access to UK-style dispute routes.

Regulation in Great Britain differs from that in Northern Ireland, so we try to be precise about scope. We do not claim any casino is completely safe, and we cannot guarantee withdrawals or winnings.

Ways to keep control

Set deposit and loss limits, use the casino's self-exclusion tools, and consider gambling blocking software if you want extra barriers. GamCare offers free, confidential support on 0808 8020 133. Our responsible gambling page has more detail.

Questions, corrections and complaints

If you spot an error, an outdated bonus or a broken link, tell us through our contact page. Note that we are a review site, not a casino, so we cannot resolve account disputes, but we can point you towards the right complaints route. Our terms and conditions set out how you may use this site.
