About Us
Casinos Not On Gamstop is an independent guide to casinos not on GamStop, built for UK players who have self-excluded through GamStop but still want clear, honest information about the licensed-abroad sites operating outside that scheme. We don't run a casino ourselves, and we don't take deposits or bets. What we do is research operators, compare what they offer, and lay it out plainly so you can weigh things up yourself.
Why this site exists
GamStop is a free UK self-exclusion service that blocks a player from every site holding a UK Gambling Commission licence. It's a genuinely useful tool for a lot of people. But GamStop only covers UKGC-licensed operators — it has no reach over casinos licensed elsewhere, including the Curaçao-regulated sites that make up most of the "not on GamStop" market. That gap is exactly why searches for casinos not on GamStop, betting sites not on GamStop and similar terms keep growing, and why a site that explains the space clearly has a job to do.
We're not here to talk anyone into anything. Players who've self-excluded have their own reasons, and plenty of readers landing here are simply curious about how offshore casinos differ from UK-licensed ones, what payment methods they use, or what a Paysafe or Curaçao-licensed site actually looks like in practice. Our job is to answer those questions with facts, not persuasion.
What we actually do
- Research each operator's licensing, game library, payment options and bonus terms
- Compare sites side by side on the things that decide whether one suits you better than another
- Score and rank operators using a consistent set of criteria, explained on our non GamStop casinos UK review page
- Keep the information current as new sites launch and existing ones change their offers
We look at more than the headline welcome offer. Wagering requirements, withdrawal limits, the range of slots and live tables on offer, and how a site handles support all factor into how we write about it.
How we rate and rank
Every operator that appears in our rankings is assessed against the same checklist:
| Criterion | What we look at |
|---|---|
| Licensing | Which jurisdiction issued the licence and what player protections come with it |
| Bonus terms | Headline offer alongside wagering requirements, expiry windows and game restrictions |
| Game range | Depth of slots, table games and live-dealer rooms, and which studios supply them |
| Payments | Deposit and withdrawal methods available, processing times and any fees |
| Support | Availability of live chat or email support and how responsive it is |
Sites like Betmica, Kikibet and Betninja sit near the top of our current list because they combine a broad game catalogue with reasonably clear bonus terms and multiple payment routes — but no operator on our list is flawless, and we say so in each review rather than glossing over the caveats.
We earn commission when a reader clicks through to an operator and signs up. That relationship never decides where a site lands in our rankings — commission is not a ranking factor, and we're happy to say when a site falls short.
Where GamStop fits into all this
GamStop is worth understanding properly before deciding what to do with the information on this site. It's a UK-wide self-exclusion register that players opt into for six months, a year, or five years, blocking sign-ups at every UKGC-licensed operator for that period. It doesn't extend to casinos licensed outside the UK, which is the entire basis of the "not on GamStop" category. We explain that distinction, and how UK-licensed and non-GamStop sites compare on protections and complaint handling, in more depth on our main casino review page.
If a reader decides GamStop isn't giving them what they need, some non-GamStop operators do offer their own self-exclusion tools directly on the account settings page — closing an account, setting deposit limits, or requesting a permanent block through that operator's own support team.
What we won't do
We won't tell you gambling at a casino not on GamStop is risk-free, and we won't tell you it's something to avoid — that's a personal decision, not ours to make for you. We also won't invent licensing details, bonus terms or payout speeds that we haven't verified. If a detail isn't confirmed, we say so rather than guessing.
For anyone concerned about their gambling, or looking for support tools beyond GamStop, our Responsible Gambling page has practical information worth reading regardless of which casinos you're considering. Our Terms and Conditions set out how this site operates and what our content is and isn't responsible for.
