About Us

Casinos Not On Gamstop is an independent research site for adults in the UK who want to understand casinos that operate outside the GamStop scheme. We explain how these sites work, what their bonuses really require, how payments and withdrawals behave, and what protections you give up or keep. This page sets out who we are, how we work and what you should and should not expect from us.

What this site does, and what it does not

Our reviews and guides cover the practical questions readers ask before signing up to a site that is not part of GamStop, the UK's national self-exclusion service. We look at welcome bonuses, wagering requirements, game contribution, maximum bet rules, expiry dates and cashout caps. We also cover payments, identity checks, games, sports betting and customer support.

We do not run a casino, take bets or handle your money. We are not a regulator, and we cannot resolve disputes between you and an operator. Our role is to help you read the terms before you commit.

Commercial disclosure

Casinos Not On Gamstop may earn a commission if you register with or deposit at a casino through our links. That is how the site is funded. Commission does not buy position: rankings are editorial and are not sold. A higher position is not a promise of a better experience for you personally.

How we assess casinos

We have not played, deposited or withdrawn at the casinos we list, and we do not claim to. Our assessments come from reviewing each operator's published terms, advertised offers and licensing statements, and from checking what they say against what we can verify. We separate three things wherever possible:

• Confirmed information – details we could check against a regulator's register or the operator's published terms.
• Casino advertising – claims about speed, generosity or support that come from the operator and are not independently confirmed.
• Open questions – points we could not verify, which we say plainly rather than guess.

Our editorial ratings are our own scores. They are not customer-review scores and should not be read as such. Time-sensitive details were last checked on 29 September 2026, and bonus terms can change without notice, so always read the current terms on the casino's own site.

What we look at in each review

• Bonus structure: welcome bonuses, deposit bonuses, free spins, cashback and loyalty rewards, with wagering, expiry, maximum bet and cashout limits alongside.
• Payments: minimum deposits, GBP accounts, debit cards, bank transfers, e-wallets, PayPal availability, cryptocurrency, fees and currency conversion.
• Withdrawals: processing times, limits, identity verification and source-of-funds checks.
• Games: slots, progressive jackpots, live dealer tables, blackjack, roulette and baccarat, software providers, RTP and volatility.
• Sports betting: pre-match and in-play markets, esports, accumulators, bet builders, cash-out and qualifying odds.
• Support and complaints: contact routes, complaints procedures and safer gambling tools.

The casinos we currently feature

Our publisher supplies the casino selection and top list, which we then research and rate. The sites currently featured, in order, are Betmica, Kikibet, Betninja, WinnerIsland, Zombillion, Smash Casino, Nightluck, CoinPoker, Rivo and Daytonaspin. Their headline offers, ratings and buttons appear in the ranked cards, so we do not repeat them here. Read the full terms of any offer before depositing, because welcome packages of this size normally carry wagering requirements, time limits and caps on winnings.

Some of these operators advertise in euros or dollars rather than pounds. If you deposit in GBP, your bank or the casino may convert the amount and charge for it, so check for currency conversion fees first. For our full reviews, see our list of non GamStop casinos for UK readers.

Legal standing: what UK readers should know

Under the Gambling Act 2005, operators serving customers in Great Britain need a licence from the UK Gambling Commission. Almost all of them must join GamStop. A casino that is not on GamStop generally holds an overseas licence instead, such as one from Curaçao, and is not covered by UK Gambling Commission rules or its complaints routes. Accepting British players is not the same as being authorised to serve them, and you should not assume otherwise.

In practice, this means fewer guaranteed protections. Dispute options are usually limited to the casino's own complaints process and the licensing body it names. We aim to tell you which licence an operator states and to flag when we cannot confirm it. You must be 18 or over to gamble, and every reputable operator will ask you to verify your identity.

A note on GamStop and self-exclusion

If you registered with GamStop, you did so for a reason. Using a site outside the scheme can undermine that decision. If gambling is causing you harm, or you are gambling to recover losses, please do not use our content as encouragement. Gambling should never be treated as income or a fix for money problems, and no casino is completely safe or able to guarantee winnings or withdrawals.

Read our responsible gambling page for deposit and loss limits, self-exclusion, blocking software and support. GamCare offers free, confidential help through the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.

Contacting us and corrections
