About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos is an independent site built for one specific reader: someone who has self-excluded through GAMSTOP but wants clear, honest information about the casinos operating outside that scheme. We don't tell you what to do — we tell you what's out there, how it works, and what to check before you sign up anywhere.

What we actually do here

We research and compare casinos not on GAMSTOP — sites licensed outside the UK, often in Curaçao or other offshore jurisdictions, that fall outside the scope of the UK's self-exclusion register. We look at their licensing, banking options, game libraries, welcome offers and the small print attached to each one, then put that information side by side so you can make your own comparison rather than take a brand's word for it.

This isn't a listing that accepts every casino that asks to be included. We work down a shortlist of brands, note what's genuinely different about each, and update the pages as terms and offers change.

How we rate and rank the sites we cover

Every casino on underwaterimages.co.uk gets the same review process. We look at the same set of factors for each brand:

• Licensing and where the operator is based
• Payment methods available to UK players, including deposit and withdrawal speed
• The size and structure of the game library — slots, table games and live dealer options
• The clarity of welcome offers, including wagering requirements and expiry terms
• General usability: site navigation, mobile experience and customer support

Editorial ratings reflect this research, not customer reviews or user submissions. Commercial relationships exist — we may earn a commission if you sign up through a link on this site — but that has no bearing on where a brand sits in our rankings. A casino with a lower payout to us can still outrank one that pays more, if it simply does more for the reader on the factors above.

Why we cover casinos outside GAMSTOP at all

GAMSTOP is a UK self-exclusion scheme that covers operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. It does not extend to casinos licensed elsewhere, which is why sites not on GAMSTOP continue to operate and attract UK visitors. We're not here to encourage anyone to use them instead of taking a break from gambling — we're here because plenty of people search for this information regardless, and we'd rather they find something accurate than a page built purely to sell an offer.

Where it's relevant, we also point readers toward our page on responsible gambling for tools and support beyond GAMSTOP itself, because self-exclusion is only one part of managing play sensibly.

What you'll find across the site

Our main comparison of non GAMSTOP casinos is the best starting point if you want the current shortlist, ranked and reviewed with the criteria above. From there, individual brand write-ups cover things like Betmica, Kikibet, Betninja, WinnerIsland, Zombillion, Smash Casino, Nightluck, CoinPoker, Rivo and Daytonaspin — each assessed on its own licensing, banking setup and game range rather than a generic template.

We also cover related topics such as how bonuses at these sites actually work, what payment methods UK players tend to have access to, and the difference between offshore-licensed casinos and UKGC-regulated ones — all things worth understanding before you decide anything.

Standards we hold ourselves to

We don't test brands by depositing or withdrawing money ourselves; we verify claims through publicly available licensing information, terms and conditions, and operator disclosures, and we update pages when something changes. If a welcome offer, wagering term or game count on a casino's own site changes, our reviews should reflect that at the next update rather than carry outdated figures indefinitely.

We're also honest about limitations. Every casino we cover has both strengths and drawbacks, and we say so in each write-up rather than presenting any single brand as flawless.

Get in touch

If you've spotted something out of date, have a question about a review, or want to flag an issue with a casino we cover, our contact page has the details for reaching us. We read every message, even if we can't always reply immediately.

Gambling on any site, GAMSTOP-registered or not, should only ever involve money you can afford to lose, and is intended for adults aged 18 and over.
