About Us

Casinos Not On Gamstop is an independent research site for adults in the UK who want to understand non GamStop casinos before they sign up to one. We focus on slots, bonus terms, payments, withdrawals and the protections that are, and are not, in place. This page explains who we are, how we work and what our limits are.

Commercial disclosure: the publisher may earn commission if you join an operator through a link on this site. Commission does not decide rankings or ratings. Where an offer is shown, the conditions that qualify it should be read on the operator's own terms before you commit any money.

What this site is for

Many readers arrive knowing only that a casino is "not on GamStop". Fewer know what that means in practice. GAMSTOP is the national self-exclusion scheme for licensed gambling in Great Britain. Casinos outside that scheme usually hold licences from other jurisdictions, and they are not regulated by the UK Gambling Commission.

That difference matters. It can affect complaint routes, dispute options, affordability checks and the tools you can rely on. Our job is to set out those trade-offs plainly so you can decide with your eyes open. We do not tell anyone they should gamble.

What we cover

• Slots: how casino slots differ in volatility, return to player (RTP) and bonus contribution, plus progressive jackpots and software providers.
• Bonuses: welcome bonuses, deposit bonuses, free spins, no-deposit offers, cashback and loyalty rewards, with wagering requirements, maximum bet rules, expiry dates and cashout limits.
• Payments: minimum deposits, GBP accounts, debit cards, bank transfers, e-wallets, PayPal availability, cryptocurrency, fees and currency conversion.
• Withdrawals: processing times, limits, KYC and identity checks, source-of-funds requests and how disputes are handled.
• Other games and betting: live dealer tables, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, mobile play, and sportsbooks including esports, accumulators, bet builders and cash-out.
• Safer gambling: deposit and loss limits, self-exclusion and blocking software. Our Responsible Gambling page has the detail.

How we research and rate operators

We have not staked money or claimed to have tested withdrawals, and we do not present our work as hands-on play testing. Our reviews are based on desk research: reading each operator's published terms, checking the licence details it states, and comparing what its advertising says with what its conditions say.

We look at these factors:

1. Licensing and ownership information the operator publishes, and whether it can be verified with the issuing body.
2. Bonus conditions: wagering, game contribution, maximum bet, expiry and cashout caps.
3. Range of slots and other games, and named software providers.
4. Payment options for British customers, fees and stated limits.
5. Stated withdrawal rules and verification requirements.
6. Customer support channels and the complaints procedure.
7. Safer gambling tools offered on the site.

Our ratings are editorial scores. They are not customer-review scores and they are not a guarantee of experience. We date time-sensitive findings, and this page was last fact-checked on 29 September 2026.

Confirmed facts, advertising and open questions

We try to keep three things apart:

• Confirmed: information we can check against a regulator, a licence register or the operator's written terms.
• Advertised: headline offers and claims, such as processing speeds. These are the operator's own statements, not tested results.
• Unresolved: anything we cannot confirm. We say so rather than guess.

Our independence

The publisher supplies the casino selections and top lists. Operators cannot buy a higher position, and commission does not affect rankings or ratings. We do not accept payment to change a rating, and we cover drawbacks for every operator, including those at the top.

The operators you will see

The ranked list on our main page currently features Betmica, Kikibet, Betninja, WinnerIsland, Zombillion, Smash Casino, Nightluck, CoinPoker, Rivo and Daytonaspin. Their headline welcome offers appear in the cards, and several are quoted in euros or dollars rather than pounds. That is worth noting: it can mean currency conversion, and you should check whether a GBP account is available.

Big percentages and large caps rarely tell the full story. A generous headline can come with high wagering requirements, short expiry windows or a low limit on withdrawing bonus winnings. Read the terms, and see our full comparison of non GamStop casinos for a closer look at each operator.

What to keep in mind before you play

• You must be 18 or over.
• Non GamStop casinos are not covered by GAMSTOP, so a GAMSTOP registration will not block them. If you excluded yourself to take a break, think hard about whether these sites are right for you.
• Accepting British customers is not the same as being authorised by the UK Gambling Commission to serve them. Check who licenses the operator and how to complain.
• No casino is completely safe, and withdrawals and winnings are never guaranteed. Gambling is not income and it is not a way to solve money problems.
• Set deposit and loss limits, and only stake what you can afford to lose.

If gambling is causing you harm, GamCare offers free, confidential support on 0808 8020 133, and you can also use blocking software to restrict gambling sites on your devices.
