About Us

Casino Not On Gamstop is a research-led guide for adults in the UK who want to understand non GamStop casinos before they decide anything. We explain bonuses, wagering requirements, payments, withdrawals, games and the protections that are or are not in place. Our aim is to help you read the small print, not to push you towards a sign-up.

This page explains what we publish, how the top list is built, how we treat commission, and where our knowledge stops. Facts on this page were last checked on 29 September 2026.

What we publish and who it is for

Our readers are adults aged 18 and over, mostly in the UK, with very different levels of gambling knowledge. Some have played online for years. Others are simply trying to work out what "not on GamStop" means. We try to explain terms as they come up without assuming prior knowledge.

Our coverage includes:

• Casino reviews and comparisons, with a focus on Curaçao-licensed sites.
• Bonus guides: welcome bonuses, deposit bonuses, free spins, no-deposit offers, cashback and loyalty rewards.
• Payment explainers: debit cards, bank transfers, e-wallets, PayPal availability, cryptocurrency, fees and currency conversion.
• Game guides: slots, progressive jackpots, live dealer games, blackjack, roulette and baccarat.
• Sports betting basics, using decimal odds, including accumulators, bet builders and cash-out.
• Safer gambling information, including self-exclusion, deposit and loss limits, and support services.

Our main comparison is on our list of non GamStop casinos.

What "not on GamStop" actually means

GamStop is the national self-exclusion scheme for online gambling in Great Britain. Casinos licensed by the UK Gambling Commission must take part in it. A casino not on GamStop is usually licensed elsewhere, often in Curaçao, and is not part of that scheme.

Three points matter for anyone reading our reviews:

• A site that accepts British customers is not the same as a site authorised by the UK Gambling Commission to serve them.
• Overseas licences differ in what they require. Complaint routes, player-fund protection and dispute handling are generally not the same as under a UK licence, and you may have fewer options if something goes wrong.
• If you have registered with GamStop, that exclusion is there for a reason. Using a site outside the scheme cancels out that protection. Please read our responsible gambling page before going further.

We do not describe any casino as completely safe, and we never guarantee withdrawals or winnings.

How we research and rate casinos

We have no testing evidence to offer. We have not deposited, played or withdrawn at these sites, and we do not claim otherwise. Our ratings come from desk research and document review, including:

1. Licensing and ownership information as published by the casino and, where possible, checked against the licensing body's own records.
2. The published bonus terms: wagering requirements, game contribution, maximum bet limits, expiry dates and cashout caps.
3. Payment pages: minimum deposits, GBP account availability, fees, currency conversion and stated withdrawal processing times and limits.
4. Game range, software providers, and published RTP and volatility information where available.
5. Sportsbook features and whether the casino and sportsbook share a wallet.
6. Customer support channels, complaints procedures, and verification (KYC and source-of-funds) rules.

We separate three kinds of information: what is confirmed by an official or verifiable source, what is simply casino advertising, and what we could not resolve. Where something is unclear, we say so. Withdrawal speeds and bonus terms are the sort of details that change without notice, so please check the casino's current terms before you act.

How the top list works

The publisher supplies the casino selections and their order. Editorial ratings on the list are our own assessments, not customer review scores. At the moment the list includes Betmica, Kikibet, Betninja, WinnerIsland, Zombillion, Smash Casino, Nightluck, CoinPoker, Rivo and Daytonaspin.

The headline offers you see on the cards are the casinos' own advertising. Big percentages sound generous, but they usually come with wagering requirements, game restrictions and caps. Some offers are stated in euros or dollars, so if you hold a GBP account you should check how conversion and fees are handled. A large bonus is not automatically a good one.

Commission and independence

We may earn a commission if you sign up to a casino through a link on this site. That is how we fund the work. Commission does not buy position: a casino cannot pay to rank higher, and it does not get to edit our write-ups. We also include drawbacks for every casino we recommend, including the one at the top.

You are never obliged to use our links, and reading our guides costs nothing.

What we do not do

• We do not present gambling as a source of income or a way to fix money problems.
• We do not promise outcomes or claim any casino is risk-free.
• We do not name competing publishers or lift wording from casinos.
• We do not give legal or financial advice.

Support if gambling is a problem

If gambling is causing harm, help is available. GamCare runs the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 and offers online chat. You can register with GamStop, use deposit and loss limits, or install gambling blocking software. For more, see our responsible gambling guide.

Corrections and contact

If you spot an out-of-date term or an error, tell us through the contact page and we will review it. Our own terms and conditions explain how you may use this site.
