Non Gamstop Sites is an independent comparison resource built for UK adults who are looking for online casinos and betting sites that operate outside the Gamstop self-exclusion scheme. This page explains who we are, how we research the casinos we cover, what editorial standards govern our rankings, and how you can reach us if you have a question or feedback.

Who We Are

We are a small editorial team based in the UK. Our focus is narrow and deliberate: we research, review and compare online casinos that are not registered with the Gamstop scheme, so that players who have not enrolled in Gamstop — or whose self-exclusion period has ended — can make informed choices about where to play.

We do not run any casino. We do not hold player funds, process deposits or issue bonuses. We are a publisher of independent comparison content, nothing more.

Every piece of copy on this site is written in-house. We do not publish paid reviews or sponsored rankings. Casinos that appear at the top of our lists are there because our editorial assessment placed them there — not because a commercial arrangement did.

What We Actually Do When We Review a Casino

Our research process centres on the factors that matter most to the readers who use this site. For a no-KYC casino or a site operating outside Gamstop, those factors are different from what you would weigh up on a mainstream UKGC-licensed platform. Here is what we check:

  • Licensing and regulatory standing — which jurisdiction licenses the casino, what consumer protections that licence carries, and whether the operator has a documented complaints process.
  • KYC and verification requirements — how much identity documentation, if any, the site requires before allowing play or withdrawals, and how clearly those requirements are disclosed.
  • Withdrawal speed and payment methods — the options available to UK players (in GBP or convertible currencies), realistic processing times and any fees attached.
  • Bonus terms — wagering requirements, game contribution rates, maximum withdrawal limits and time limits, reviewed alongside the headline offer rather than in place of it.
  • Game library — the breadth of slots, table games and live-dealer content, and the software providers supplying them.
  • Site and mobile experience — navigation, load times on mobile browsers, and the quality of customer support channels.
  • Responsible gambling tools — what deposit limits, session reminders and self-exclusion options the site itself provides, independent of Gamstop.

We do not claim to have deposited at every casino we cover. Our assessments are based on desk research, verification of published terms and conditions, and analysis of operator documentation. We use the word "researched" or "reviewed" to describe this work — never "tested" in a hands-on sense.

How We Rank the Casinos on This Site

Each casino receives an editorial rating on a scale up to 10. That score reflects the weighted outcome of our research across all the criteria listed above. The weighting shifts depending on what readers of this site care about most: for a no-KYC page, verification requirements carry more weight; for a bonuses page, wagering conditions carry more.

Ranking position follows editorial rating. A casino cannot buy a higher position, and declining to advertise with us does not lower one. Some of the operators we list do pay us a commission when a reader follows a link and registers an account. That commercial relationship is disclosed clearly on every page where it applies, and it does not determine where in the rankings a site appears.

We reassess our ratings regularly. If an operator's terms change materially, if we receive credible reader reports of a problem, or if a licence is suspended, we update or remove the listing. The date shown at the top of each page reflects the last time that page's content was reviewed.

A Note on Gamstop and Player Responsibility

Gamstop is a free self-exclusion service that allows UK players to restrict their access to UKGC-licensed gambling sites. Casinos listed on this site are not registered with Gamstop and are therefore not bound by its exclusion lists. That distinction is the reason this site exists — to provide clear, factual information about what is available and on what terms.

We cover responsible gambling tools on every site we review because the availability of those tools — deposit limits, cooling-off periods, self-exclusion within the platform itself — is a genuine quality signal. You can read more about that on our responsible gambling page.

All gambling content on this site is for readers aged 18 and over.

Our Editorial Independence

We do not accept payment to alter, soften or remove negative findings in a review. If a casino has a meaningful limitation — slow withdrawals, complex bonus terms, a weaker game library — that limitation appears in the review alongside everything positive. Every write-up on this site includes at least one genuine drawback, including our highest-rated picks.

We are not affiliated with the Gambling Commission, Gamstop, or any casino operator. Our only financial relationships are the affiliate commissions described above.

Get in Touch

If you have a question about one of our reviews, a factual correction to suggest, or feedback about your experience with a casino we have listed, we want to hear from you. Accurate, up-to-date information is the only thing that makes this site useful — reader input is part of how we keep it that way.

You can reach us at [email protected] or through our contact page. We aim to respond to all enquiries within two working days.
