About Us
Non Gamstop Casinos is an independent research and comparison site about casinos not on GamStop, written for adults in the UK. We explain how these sites work, what their offers really involve, and what you give up by choosing one. This page covers who we are, how we assess casinos, how we are funded and what we can and cannot promise.
What we do and who we write for
Our readers are aged 18 or over and mostly live in the UK. Some know gambling well. Others are just starting to compare sites. We don't assume you already understand licensing, wagering requirements or withdrawal rules, and we try to explain each without talking down to you.
The site covers:
- casino features, including slots, progressive jackpots, live dealer games, blackjack, roulette and baccarat;
- bonuses, from welcome bonuses and free spins to cashback and loyalty rewards;
- payments, including debit cards, bank transfers, e-wallets and cryptocurrency, plus fees, currency conversion and withdrawal limits;
- sports betting and esports betting, with odds explained in decimal format;
- protections such as complaints procedures, self-exclusion and deposit and loss limits.

Why a non GamStop casino is a different choice
GAMSTOP is the free national self-exclusion scheme for online gambling in Great Britain. Casinos licensed by the UK Gambling Commission must take part in it. A non GamStop casino is not part of that scheme. Most operate under an overseas gambling licence, and some of those are issued in Curaçao.
That has practical consequences. If you have registered with GAMSTOP, these sites will not necessarily know, so the exclusion will not protect you there. Complaints routes, dispute handling and player protections can also differ from those of a UK-licensed operator. Be careful with one point: a casino accepting British customers is not the same as being authorised by the UK Gambling Commission to serve them. We say clearly which is which wherever we can.
We don't present these sites as safer or better than UK-licensed ones. They suit some readers' preferences and carry extra risk. If you excluded yourself for a reason, please read our responsible gambling guidance before going any further.
How we research and rank casinos
We have not tested these casinos with our own money, and we make no claim to have deposited, played or withdrawn. Our rankings come from desk research and review of what each operator publishes, checked against the information we can verify. Our fact-check date is 29 September 2026.
The factors we look at include:
- Bonus terms: wagering requirements, game contribution, maximum bet limits, expiry dates and cashout caps.
- Payments: minimum deposits, GBP account availability, payment fees, currency conversion and withdrawal limits.
- Licensing and ownership information the operator discloses.
- Game range and software providers, plus the sportsbook where there is one.
- Customer support, the complaints procedure and responsible gambling tools.
- Identity verification, source-of-funds checks and how withdrawal disputes are handled.
Each casino carries an editorial rating. It is our own score, not an average of customer reviews. The publisher supplies our casino selections and top lists, and we assess them against the factors above.
What we mark as confirmed, advertised or unknown
We separate three kinds of information:
| Type | What it means |
|---|---|
| Confirmed | Something we could check in an official source, such as a regulator register or the operator's published terms. |
| Advertised | A claim from the casino's own marketing, such as a headline bonus or a stated payout speed. We treat it as a claim, not a result. |
| Unresolved | A point we could not verify. We say so rather than guess. |
Bonuses and terms change often, so always read the current terms on the casino's own site before you deposit. Where we give a date, it is the date we last checked.
How we are paid
Non Gamstop Casinos may earn a commission if you register or deposit through links on our pages. Commission does not decide rankings or buy position. That money keeps the site running, and we still list each option's weaknesses. Bonus headlines you see are the operators' advertised offers, and most carry wagering and other conditions.
Where the top casinos on our list stand out
These short notes reflect the advertised offers and our editorial ratings. They are not results from our own play.
Betmica
Ranked first, with an editorial rating of 10.0 and an advertised welcome offer of 570% up to £5,700 plus 270 free spins. Large offers like this usually carry higher wagering, so check the requirement, the maximum bet while wagering and the expiry date. Our limitation: a big headline figure tells you little until you have read those terms.
Kikibet
Rated 9.8, with an advertised 350% up to 5,555 £ and 300 free spins. It stands out for the free spin count. Limitation: the offer is shown in a slightly different currency format, so confirm your account can be held in GBP and whether currency conversion applies.
Betninja
Rated 9.8, advertising a £1,000 bonus and 100 free spins to all new players. It appeals to readers who like a clear pound-denominated figure. Limitation: "all new players" does not mean no conditions, so check the eligibility rules and any deposit requirement.
Other casinos on our list include WinnerIsland, Zombillion, Smash Casino, Nightluck, CoinPoker, Rivo and Daytonaspin. Several advertise offers in euros or dollars, so exchange rates and fees may affect what a UK player receives.
Our limits and what we won't say
- We never call a casino completely safe.
- We never guarantee withdrawals or winnings.
- We never treat gambling as income or a way out of money problems.
- We are not a regulator and cannot resolve disputes for you.
If you need support
Gambling should be entertainment, and you should only stake money you can afford to lose. Tools such as deposit and loss limits, self-exclusion and gambling blocking software can help. GamCare offers free, confidential support through its helpline and online chat. Our responsible gambling page has more detail.
