About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos is an independent research site for UK players looking at casinos not on Gamstop. We don't operate a casino, take deposits or accept bets — our job is to look at operators outside the Gamstop self-exclusion scheme, work out what they actually offer, and lay it out plainly so readers can weigh up their own options.

Why This Site Exists

Gamstop is the UK's national self-exclusion scheme, and it covers operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. Some players, for a range of personal reasons, look beyond that pool of sites — often toward casinos licensed in jurisdictions such as Curaçao. That's a real and growing corner of the market, and it's one that gets little honest, detailed coverage. We built this site to fill that gap: clear write-ups, straight comparisons and no pretending the sector doesn't exist.

We're not here to tell anyone whether they should or shouldn't play. We're here to make sure that if someone is going to look at a site not on Gamstop, they do it with as much information as possible — on the offer, the games, the payment options and the standing of the operator.

What We Actually Look At

Every brand that appears on Non Gamstop Casinos is assessed against the same set of criteria, whether it's a long-established name or one of the newer non Gamstop casinos launching this year. We don't test with real accounts or real money, and we don't claim to. Instead, our reviews are built from publicly available information — licensing details, published terms, game catalogues and payment pages — checked and cross-referenced before anything is published.

• Licensing and regulation — where the operator is licensed, and what that licence does and doesn't guarantee for a UK player
• Bonus terms — not just the headline percentage, but wagering requirements, maximum cashout limits, game restrictions and expiry windows
• Game range — the spread across slots, table games and live-dealer studios, and which software providers are behind them
• Payment methods — what a GBP player can realistically use to deposit and withdraw, and any limits or fees attached
• Site reliability — how the operator communicates terms, how its support functions appear to work, and whether information is consistent across the site

That process is what produces the editorial ratings you see next to each brand — figures like the 10.0 currently held by Betmica or the 9.9 for Kikibet and Betninja. These are our own scores, based on the criteria above, not customer reviews and not a reflection of how much any operator pays us.

A Look at How Some of These Brands Compare

To show the kind of thing our reviews cover, here's a short look at three of the operators currently listed on the site.

Betmica

Betmica sits at the top of our current list, largely on the strength of its welcome offer — 570% up to £5,700 plus 270 free spins. That's an unusually large headline figure even by non Gamstop standards, and it's the kind of offer that needs its wagering requirements and maximum bet rules read in full before signing up, since bonuses this large typically carry stricter conditions than smaller ones. A genuine limitation: a bonus this size will not suit a player looking for a simple, low-commitment welcome deal.

Kikibet

Kikibet's offer — 350% up to £5,555 with 300 free spins — trades some of Betmica's headline size for a slightly more moderate match percentage, which in practice can mean more manageable wagering terms. It's a solid pick for players who want a large spins package alongside their deposit match. The limitation here is the same as with any high-spin offer: the value of free spins depends heavily on the game they're tied to and its contribution to wagering.

Betninja

Betninja takes a flat-bonus approach — £1,000 plus 100 free spins for all new players — rather than a percentage match. That structure is easier to understand at a glance, which is worth something if you'd rather not calculate a match percentage before deciding. The trade-off is that a flat £1,000 offer will go proportionally further for smaller depositors than larger ones, so it isn't necessarily the biggest offer in cash terms for every player.

How We Rate and Rank

Position on this site is decided by our editorial scoring across licensing, bonus terms, game range, payments and general site conduct — never by how much commission a brand pays us. Non Gamstop Casinos earns revenue through affiliate links: if you sign up with an operator via this site, we may receive a payment. That relationship never buys a higher rating or a better position in our tables, and we say so plainly rather than burying it in small print.

What We Won't Do

We don't tell readers that using a casino outside Gamstop is against the law, because it isn't — Gamstop is a voluntary self-exclusion scheme, not a legal restriction, and choosing to play at a site outside it is a personal decision. What we will always do is set out the practical differences between non Gamstop casinos and UKGC-licensed sites so that decision is an informed one, including where consumer protections differ.

We also don't invent detail. If a fact about an operator — a fee, a limit, a licence number — isn't published or verifiable, we say so rather than guess. And we point readers who want support around their gambling toward our Responsible Gambling page rather than assuming everyone visiting this site needs it.
