About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos is an independent research and comparison site built for one specific reader: someone in the UK looking for a gambling site that operates outside the GamStop self-exclusion scheme. We don't own or operate any casino. Our job is to look at what's available, work out what's worth your time, and lay it out plainly so you can make your own call.

Why this site exists

GamStop is the UK's national self-exclusion service, and once someone signs up it blocks them from every casino, sportsbook and bingo site holding a UK Gambling Commission licence — usually for a minimum of six months, up to five years or an indefinite period. For plenty of players that's exactly the break they needed. For others, GamStop was a decision made in the moment, and they now want to gamble again on a site that isn't tied to the scheme. That's the gap this site addresses. We don't tell readers whether they should or shouldn't play — we simply put together clear, honest information on the operators available so anyone who's chosen this route can do it with their eyes open.

How we research and rank casinos

Every operator that appears on join-krav-maga-training.co.uk is checked against the same core criteria before it's ranked. Commission from any operator we link to never buys a better position, a higher rating, or a place on the page — the order reflects our own assessment, not a paid placement.

• Licensing and operator background: most sites not on GamStop hold licences from jurisdictions such as Curaçao rather than the UK Gambling Commission. We look at what's actually stated on the operator's own site and treat unverified claims with caution.
• Game range and software providers: the breadth of slots, table games and live-dealer options, and whether recognisable studios are behind them.
• Payment options: what deposit and withdrawal methods are offered, including cards, e-wallets and crypto where relevant, and how quickly withdrawals are processed.
• Bonus terms: the headline welcome offer is only half the story, so we look at wagering requirements, maximum bet limits and expiry windows attached to it.
• Site usability and support: how easy the site is to navigate on mobile, and whether customer support is actually reachable.

This is desk-based research, not live testing — we don't deposit, play or withdraw on any site. Every figure and offer we quote is taken directly from the operator and checked as of the date shown at the top of each page, because welcome offers and terms change frequently.

What "casinos not on GamStop" actually means

These are gambling sites that simply don't participate in the GamStop scheme, usually because they're licensed and based outside the UK. That means a GamStop self-exclusion doesn't stop someone signing up with one. It doesn't mean the site is unregulated altogether — most hold a licence from their home jurisdiction, with its own rules on player funds, dispute resolution and fair-game testing, though these protections are generally lighter than what a UK Gambling Commission licence requires. Our full breakdown of how these operators compare to non GamStop casinos in the UK covers this in more depth, including current sites we've reviewed.

The upside readers ask us about

We get asked fairly often why anyone would look beyond GamStop-registered sites, so it's worth being direct about the practical reasons:

• Bigger welcome packages: operators outside the UK market often compete harder on sign-up offers, match percentages and free spin counts than UK-licensed sites typically do.
• Wider payment choice: many accept crypto and a broader range of e-wallets alongside cards.
• No GamStop lock-out: for players who've decided GamStop no longer suits their situation, these sites offer an alternative route back to play.
• Fresh operators regularly launch: new brands enter this space often, which usually means newer software, sharper design and more competitive terms to attract early players.

What we don't do

We don't rate a casino purely on the size of its welcome bonus, and we don't publish a site simply because it pays a referral fee. We also flag, wherever it's relevant, that self-exclusion tools exist for a reason and that support resources remain available regardless of where someone chooses to play — our responsible gambling page covers the tools and helplines available in the UK, including how self-exclusion works if a reader ever wants to step back again.

Staying accountable

Offers, licensing details and terms in this industry shift regularly, so we revisit our reviews and rankings on a rolling basis rather than treating them as fixed. If you spot something out of date, or you've had a direct experience with an operator we've covered, we want to hear about it — it's how our reviews stay useful rather than stale. You can reach us through our contact page, and our full terms and conditions set out how the site itself operates.

A word on who this site is for

This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over in the UK who are already considering gambling sites operating outside GamStop. Nothing here is advice to gamble, and nothing here suggests these sites are risk-free simply because they sit outside a self-exclusion scheme. Our aim is narrower: give readers accurate, current information so that whatever they decide, it's an informed decision rather than a guess.
