About Us
Non Gamstop Sites exists to give UK players who have self-excluded through Gamstop an honest, independently researched guide to casino options available outside that scheme. This page explains who we are, how our work is done, and what you can expect from every review and ranking on this site.
Who We Are
We are an independent editorial team based in the UK. Our focus is narrow and deliberate: researching, verifying and comparing online casinos that operate outside the Gamstop self-exclusion register. We do not run a casino, accept investments from casino operators, or allow commercial relationships to decide which sites rank where.
Every recommendation on this site is the result of structured editorial research — checking licensing, reviewing bonus terms, confirming payment methods and testing the practical experience a player in Great Britain would have. Where a fact could not be verified, we say so rather than guess.
Why This Site Exists
Gamstop is a free self-exclusion service that allows UK players to restrict their access to gambling sites licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. It is a genuinely useful tool for many people. However, some players who have used it later decide — as is their right — to seek out licensed offshore casinos that are not part of the scheme. Those players deserve the same quality of independent guidance available to anyone else: clear comparisons, verified offers, honest limitations and straightforward explanations of how each site works.
This site fills that gap. It is not here to encourage anyone to gamble or to dismiss the value of self-exclusion tools. It is here to ensure that players who have already made their decision can make it as an informed one. 18+ only.
What We Review and How We Rank
The casinos featured on this site are ranked by an editorial score that weighs several factors in combination. No single element is decisive on its own — a generous welcome bonus means little if withdrawals are slow or terms are punishing.
| Ranking factor | What we look at |
|---|---|
| Payout speed | Advertised withdrawal processing times, available fast-payment methods, and whether limits restrict practical access to funds |
| Licensing and player protection | Which regulatory authority issued the licence, dispute resolution access, and responsible gambling tools on site |
| Bonus value and fairness | Headline offer size, wagering requirements, game weighting and time limits — conditions sit beside the offer, not in small print |
| Game range | Breadth of slots, table games, live dealer and speciality titles; quality of software providers |
| Payment methods for UK players | GBP acceptance, e-wallets, card and crypto availability, deposit and withdrawal limits |
| Customer support | Availability of live chat, email responsiveness, and quality of help documentation |
Commission does not buy position. Some of the sites on this page pay a referral fee if a reader registers via our links. That commercial relationship is disclosed on our main casino reviews page and never influences where a site appears in the rankings. A site that pays commission but scores poorly on the criteria above will rank below one that does not.

Our Editorial Standards
We hold ourselves to a clear set of rules that govern everything published on this site:
- No invented facts. If a figure, policy or feature could not be verified from a primary source, we do not publish it. We write around gaps rather than fill them with guesswork.
- No testing claims. We do not say our team deposited, played or withdrew at any casino. Our process is desk research: reviewing terms, verifying licences, confirming payment infrastructure and analysing offer conditions.
- Limitations for every recommendation. Every casino we feature has at least one clearly stated drawback. There are no flawless sites, and any review that presents one as such is not credible.
- Conditions beside offers. Wagering requirements, eligible games, time limits and minimum deposit thresholds appear alongside the offer they qualify — not buried at the bottom of a page.
- Ratings are editorial, not crowd-sourced. Our scores reflect our own structured assessment. They are never presented as player review aggregates.
- Content is reviewed regularly. Offers, terms and site features change. We check our reviews against current conditions and update them where discrepancies arise.
Responsible Gambling
We take this seriously. Non Gamstop casinos sit outside the UK Gambling Commission's self-exclusion framework, which means the standard protections that UKGC-licensed sites are required to provide — including mandatory affordability checks and Gamstop integration — may not apply in the same way. Players should understand that distinction before registering anywhere.
Reputable offshore casinos do offer their own responsible gambling tools, including deposit limits, session timers, cool-off periods and self-exclusion from the individual site. We note the presence and quality of these tools as part of our review process.
If you are concerned about your gambling habits, or those of someone you know, our responsible gambling page lists organisations that provide free, confidential support in the UK — including GamCare, BeGambleAware and the National Gambling Helpline.
