About Us
Non Gamstop Casinos is an independent research and comparison site covering casinos not on Gamstop. We look at operators licensed outside the UK's self-exclusion scheme and set out, in plain terms, what each one offers, what it costs to play, and what to check before signing up. We don't run a casino ourselves, and we don't take deposits — our job is to help you compare sites, not to gamble on our own account.
Why we built this site
Anyone who has been through Gamstop knows how limited the information out there can be once you start looking beyond UK-licensed operators. Search results are full of affiliate pages repeating the same headline bonus figures without explaining the terms attached, the payment realities, or how these sites differ from the ones regulated by the Gambling Commission. We wanted a resource that treats readers as adults capable of making their own decisions, and that means giving the full picture rather than just the marketing line.
We are not here to tell anyone whether they should or shouldn't play at a casino outside Gamstop — that choice belongs to the individual. What we can do is make sure the choice, if made, is an informed one.
Commercial disclosure
Non Gamstop Casinos may earn a commission when a reader clicks through to an operator and signs up. This is how independent comparison sites are usually funded, and it does not buy or influence a brand's position on our pages. An operator paying for placement is not part of how we rank anything — our ratings reflect research against the criteria below, nothing else.
How we assess and rank operators
Every brand featured on Non Gamstop Casinos, including those in our current top ten such as Betmica, Kikibet and Betninja, is assessed against the same set of factors:
- Licensing and operator background — where the site is licensed, and what that licence does and doesn't cover for a GB-based player
- Welcome offers and ongoing promotions — the headline figure alongside the wagering requirements, time limits and any game restrictions that come with it
- Game selection — the breadth of slots, table games and live-dealer options, and the software studios behind them
- Payment methods — what's available to GB players, typical processing times, and any limits or fees we can identify
- Site usability and support — how easy the platform is to navigate and how accessible customer service appears to be
We update our research periodically as offers and terms change, and we note when a listing has been refreshed. Commission arrangements never move a brand up or down this list — a lower-ranked site can pay the same rate as a top-ranked one.
A closer look at how the top sites compare
Rather than repeat the offer panel above, here's what actually separates the brands we've researched most closely.
| Operator | Editorial rating | What stands out | Worth checking before you join |
|---|---|---|---|
| Betmica | 10.0 | Currently our top-rated listing, with one of the largest headline welcome packages we've reviewed on the site | A bonus of this size will carry meaningful wagering requirements — read the full terms before opting in |
| Kikibet | 9.8 | A large percentage match paired with a substantial free spins allocation | Free spins are frequently capped in value per spin, which affects real winnings |
| Betninja | 9.8 | A flat cash bonus plus spins, which is simpler to calculate than a percentage-match offer | Flat bonuses can still carry high wagering multiples, so the simplicity is only in the headline figure |
| WinnerIsland | 9.8 | A euro-denominated welcome bonus, worth converting to GBP terms before comparing to sterling offers | Currency conversion may affect the real value of the bonus for GB players |

What "not on Gamstop" actually means
Gamstop is a UK self-exclusion scheme that blocks a person from accessing sites licensed by the Gambling Commission. Casinos not on Gamstop are typically licensed in other jurisdictions, such as Curaçao, and so operate outside that particular scheme. This is a factual distinction about licensing and scope, not a judgement on the legitimacy of any individual operator — standards vary considerably from one licence to another, which is exactly why we set out licensing information alongside every review rather than assuming it away.
We do not offer legal advice, and readers should form their own view on what's appropriate for their circumstances. What we will say plainly is that self-exclusion exists as a support tool, and anyone who has used it did so for a reason worth respecting. If gambling is causing difficulty, our Responsible Gambling page has information on where to find support, independent of anything covered elsewhere on this site.
What we don't do
- We don't guarantee outcomes, winnings, or that any bonus will suit every player
- We don't claim to have tested withdrawal speeds or support response times as verified fact — where we describe these, it's based on research and publicly available information, not first-hand deposits and play
- We don't accept payment in exchange for a better rating
- We don't list operators outside the ones we've actually researched
This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. Nothing here should be read as an inducement to gamble beyond what a reader has already decided for themselves.
