About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos is an independent research site for UK players looking at casinos not on GamStop. We're not affiliated with any operator on this list, and we don't process bets or payments ourselves. Our job is narrower: to look closely at the sites in this space, explain how they differ, and help you weigh them up before you commit any money.

This page exists to answer the question readers ask us most: who are you, and why should I trust what's on this site? Below, we cover how the site is put together, how we rank the operators we list, and where our income comes from — because transparency there matters as much as the reviews themselves.

Why We Cover This Corner of the Market

GamStop is the UK's national self-exclusion scheme, and plenty of licensed UK operators are legally required to check against it. Some players who have self-excluded still want to gamble at sites operating under different jurisdictions — typically licensed out of Curaçao or similar territories rather than the UK Gambling Commission. We take no position on that personal choice. Our role is simply to research the sites that fall into this category, lay out what they offer, and be upfront about the trade-offs compared to UKGC-licensed casinos, so readers aren't relying on marketing pages alone.

How We Rate and Rank the Sites We List

Every operator that appears on croydonartsshow.org.uk is assessed against the same set of criteria. Commission from an operator never buys a higher position — our rankings and the order offers appear in are set before any affiliate relationship affects the page. What we look at includes:

• Licensing and operating jurisdiction — where the casino is licensed and what that licence actually requires of the operator
• Game range — the spread across slots, table games and live-dealer titles, and which software studios supply them
• Payment options — the deposit and withdrawal methods on offer, including whether Paysafe or similar prepaid options are supported, and the limits or fees attached
• Bonus terms — reading past the headline percentage to the wagering requirements, time limits and any games excluded from the offer
• Site usability and support — how straightforward registration and verification are, and whether support channels are responsive

For a closer look at how individual brands compare against each other, our Non Gamstop Casinos UK guide breaks the current top-rated sites down in more depth.

A Snapshot of the Operators We Cover

The table below is drawn from the operators currently listed on this site, ranked by our editorial score.

Betmica currently tops our list on the strength of its welcome package, though as with any bonus of that size, the wagering requirements and maximum bet rules attached deserve a careful read before opting in — a genuinely large headline figure is only useful if the terms behind it are workable. Kikibet and Betninja sit close behind, each with sizeable offers but different structures around free spin allocation and qualifying deposits, which is exactly why we cover the small print rather than just the top-line number.

What "Not on GamStop" Actually Means

GamStop only covers operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. Casinos outside that scheme are typically licensed elsewhere — Curaçao is common among the sites we track — and set their own account and exclusion tools independently of the UK register. That's a material difference from a UKGC-licensed site, and it's one we flag consistently rather than glossing over. If you want to understand self-exclusion options that exist outside GamStop, or general guidance on gambling more safely, our Responsible Gambling page covers that in more detail than we can here.

How the Site Makes Money

Non Gamstop Casinos earns commission when a reader signs up with an operator through a link on this site. That's how the site stays free to use and free of subscription paywalls. It does not change how we score a casino, what we say about its weaknesses, or where it sits in our rankings. If an operator's terms are poor value or its support is slow to respond, we say so, commission or not.

What We Don't Do

We don't invent licensing status, ratings or bonus terms for any operator we haven't reviewed, and we only list, name or link to the casinos that appear in our current research. We don't claim any site is risk-free, and we don't suggest a bonus is "free" when it requires a deposit or wagering to unlock. Full terms for using this site, including how we handle content and liability, are set out in our Terms and Conditions.
