About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos was built for one specific reader: the UK player who has self-excluded through GAMSTOP but still wants to gamble, and wants to do it with sites that are properly vetted rather than picked at random from a search results page. We focus on casinos not on GAMSTOP, the free spins and welcome offers they run, and the payment and game options actually available to players in this position.

What we do here

We're not a casino, a bookmaker or a payment processor. We're an independent research and comparison site. Our job is to look at operators licensed outside the UK's GAMSTOP framework — typically under jurisdictions such as Curaçao — and assess what they offer, how their bonuses actually work once you read the small print, and how they compare against each other on the things that matter: game selection, deposit and withdrawal methods, and the real conditions attached to any free spins package.

Every operator listed on this site sits in our rankings on its own merits. We don't accept payment to move a brand up the table, and commission from any operator we link to never decides its position — that's covered in more detail below.

How we assess and rank each site

Our rankings are built from a consistent set of checks applied to every operator, including the ones featured on this page: Betmica, Kikibet, Betninja, WinnerIsland, Zombillion, Smash Casino, Nightluck, CoinPoker, Rivo and Daytonaspin. We look at:

• Licensing and operating jurisdiction — where the operator holds its licence and what that means for a UK-based player who is not covered by a GAMSTOP-linked licence.
• Bonus terms, not just headline figures — wagering requirements, maximum cashout on free spins, minimum deposits, and how long an offer stays valid.
• Game range — the mix of slots, table games and live dealer titles, and which software studios supply them.
• Payment options — what a UK player can realistically use to deposit and withdraw, and how long each method typically takes.
• Support and site usability — whether help is easy to reach and whether the site itself is straightforward to navigate on mobile and desktop.

None of this involves us placing real bets or depositing our own funds — we research publicly available terms, licensing registers and operator documentation rather than claiming hands-on testing we haven't done. Where a detail isn't published or confirmed, we say so rather than guessing.

Why we cover free spins specifically

Free spins are the offer most readers come looking for, and they're also where the fine print does the most damage if you don't check it first. A headline like "270 Free Spins" or "300 free spins" tells you nothing about the wagering multiple, the maximum win you can withdraw, or whether the spins are restricted to a handful of slot titles. Where an operator's offer is shown on this site, we set out the material conditions — deposit requirements, wagering terms, expiry — next to the offer itself rather than burying them in a separate disclaimer, so you can compare like for like before signing up.

Where GAMSTOP fits into this

GAMSTOP is the UK's national self-exclusion scheme, and it applies to operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. Casinos operating under licences issued elsewhere — the operators featured on this site among them — are not connected to that scheme, which is why players who have self-excluded can still register with them. We don't take a position on whether that's the right choice for any individual reader; that's a personal decision, and one worth making with full information about licensing, payment protections and how these sites differ from UKGC-regulated ones. For a fuller breakdown of that comparison and a look at individual operators, see our Non Gamstop Casinos UK 2026 guide.

If self-exclusion was put in place to manage gambling that was becoming a problem, it's worth knowing that GAMSTOP is only one tool. Our Responsible Gambling page covers other options, including exclusion routes that work across jurisdictions.

How we make money, and what that doesn't change

Non Gamstop Casinos earns revenue through affiliate commission when a reader clicks through to an operator and signs up. This is standard for comparison sites and it's how we fund the research. It does not buy an operator a better rating, a higher position in our tables, or a free pass on a limitation we've identified. If a site has a slow withdrawal process, a restrictive wagering term, or thin game variety, we say so regardless of any commercial relationship.

Age and eligibility

Gambling on this site's featured operators is intended for adults aged 18 and over. Age and identity verification is handled by the operators themselves as part of their own account and payment processes, and requirements can differ from one site to the next.
