About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos was built for one specific reader: someone who has self-excluded through GamStop but still wants clear, honest information about casinos operating outside that scheme. We don't gatekeep or lecture — we research, compare and explain, so visitors can make an informed choice about where they play.

Who we are and what we do

We're an independent comparison resource covering casinos not on GamStop, the majority of which are licensed out of Curaçao. Our job is to look past the marketing on each operator's homepage and dig into the detail that actually affects a player: licensing, game libraries, payment options, bonus terms and how each site handles UK customers day to day. We publish our findings on our main non GamStop casinos guide, and this page exists to explain how that work gets done.

Why this site exists

GamStop is a self-exclusion scheme covering UK-licensed gambling sites, and it's a genuinely useful tool for players who want to step away from operators regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. It isn't, however, the only part of the online gambling market. Casinos licensed in jurisdictions such as Curaçao sit outside GamStop's reach, and plenty of UK players search for them — whether because they've had a poor experience with a UK-licensed site, want access to different game providers and bigger bonus structures, or simply prefer a different style of platform. We built this site to give those searches somewhere sensible to land, rather than a page of unchecked affiliate links.

How we research and rank the casinos we list

Every operator that appears on Non Gamstop Casinos goes through the same review process before it's ranked. We don't accept payment in exchange for a higher position, and commercial relationships with any brand never decide where it sits in our tables. What does decide it:

• Licensing and operator background — where the casino is licensed, how long it's operated, and whether ownership and terms are transparent.
• Game selection and software providers — the depth of slots, table games and live-dealer titles, and whether the providers behind them are recognisable names.
• Payment methods — the deposit and withdrawal options on offer, including card payments, e-wallets and crypto where supported, plus stated processing times and any fees.
• Bonus terms — headline welcome offers are checked against wagering requirements, maximum bet limits, game restrictions and expiry windows, not just the top-line percentage.
• Player support and site usability — how easy it is to find help, verify an account, and navigate the site on mobile and desktop.

This is why brands such as Betmica, Kikibet, Betninja, WinnerIsland and Zombillion sit at the top of our current rankings — they scored consistently well across these criteria, not just on the size of their bonus. That said, every entry has trade-offs. A generous welcome package is rarely free of strings, and we say so in each review rather than leaving readers to find out at withdrawal time.

What we won't tell you to do

We don't tell readers to sign up, and we don't tell them not to. Playing at a casino outside GamStop is a personal decision, and it isn't something this site frames as right or wrong. What we do insist on is that readers go in with accurate information: know which regulator covers the site you're using, understand that GamStop-registered self-exclusion doesn't extend to these operators, and read the bonus terms before you rely on them. If you're weighing up whether self-exclusion is the right tool for you, our responsible gambling page covers the support options available.

Keeping the information current

Non GamStop casinos open, close, rebrand and change their terms more often than UK-licensed operators. We revisit our rankings and reviews on a rolling basis to reflect new entrants, updated bonus terms and any changes in licensing status, rather than publishing once and leaving the page static.

Get in touch

If you spot something out of date, disagree with a ranking, or have a question about how we work, our contact page has the details you need. We read every message and use reader feedback to keep our reviews accurate. For the terms governing use of this site, see our terms and conditions.

A note on commercial relationships

Some of the casinos listed on Non Gamstop Casinos pay us a commission if a reader signs up through our links. This never influences how a brand is rated or ranked — our scoring criteria are applied the same way to every operator we review, paid relationship or not. All gambling carries risk, and offers referenced on this site are for players aged 18 and over.
