About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos is an independent research site focused on one corner of the UK gambling market: casinos licensed outside GamStop's remit, most of them holding a Curaçao licence. We exist because plenty of players who have self-excluded through GamStop still want clear, honest information about the sites operating beyond that scheme — not a sales pitch, and not a lecture.

We don't operate a casino ourselves and we don't process bets or deposits. What we do is research operators, compare what they actually offer, and rank them against each other on criteria that matter to someone deciding where to play.

Why This Site Exists

GamStop is a UK self-exclusion scheme that covers operators licensed by the Gambling Commission. Casinos holding a Curaçao licence sit outside that system, which is why they continue to accept UK customers who have registered with GamStop. That's a fact about how licensing jurisdictions work, not a loophole we're encouraging anyone to exploit — our job is simply to explain the landscape as it stands and let readers make their own call.

For players who want to understand what's out there, we bring together mini reviews, side-by-side comparisons and practical guidance on bonuses, payments and games, all in one place, so the research doesn't have to start from scratch every time.

How We Rate and Rank

Every operator on Non Gamstop Casinos is assessed against the same set of factors before it earns a position on our lists. Commission arrangements with operators never buy a higher spot — a site with no affiliate deal at all would be scored on identical terms.

• Licensing and operational history — we check what licence is held and how long the operator has been active
• Welcome offer and terms — we read the small print, not just the headline percentage, including wagering conditions and time limits
• Game range — slots, table games and live dealer options, and the studios behind them
• Payment methods — what's available for deposits and withdrawals, and how the timings and limits compare
• Site usability and support — how straightforward the sign-up and account process is, and how support is reached

A Look at Where Our Top-Rated Sites Stand

To show how this plays out in practice, here's a snapshot of three of the higher-ranked operators we cover:

Betmica currently tops our list; it's a newer name in this space but scored well across our licensing, game range and payment checks. That said, a headline match this large will always carry wagering requirements and game restrictions worth reading in full before depositing — we'd flag that for any offer of this size, not just this one. Kikibet and Betninja follow closely, each with broadly similar welcome packages but different game libraries and payment options, which is why we keep separate write-ups rather than treating them as interchangeable. For the full set of reviews, comparisons and current rankings, our guide to non GamStop casinos in the UK is the place to look.

What "Non GamStop" Actually Covers

Alongside casino games, most of the operators we track also run sportsbooks, meaning readers researching betting sites not on GamStop will typically find markets on football, tennis, horse racing and esports sitting alongside the slots and tables. We note this adjacent offering in our reviews where it's relevant, since it's often part of the same account and cashier.

Being Upfront About Commission

Non Gamstop Casinos may earn a commission if you sign up with an operator through a link on this site. That arrangement doesn't shape our ratings — an operator's position is set by the same review process regardless of whether a commercial relationship exists. If a site has a limitation, we say so, including for whichever operator sits at the top of our list at any given time.

Responsible Research, Not Encouragement

We're aware that a meaningful share of our readers have self-excluded because gambling caused them real problems, and this site does not exist to talk anyone out of a break they've chosen to take. If you're weighing that decision, our Responsible Gambling page has practical information on tools and support options that sit alongside, not instead of, GamStop.

Questions About How We Work

If something on this site looks out of date, or you want to ask about our review process directly, our Contact Us page is the quickest route. Our Terms and Conditions set out how the site itself operates. Nothing here is intended for under-18s, and every operator we list should be treated as an 18+ product only.
