About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos was built for one reason: UK players who've self-excluded through GamStop still want clear, honest information about the alternative casinos operating outside that scheme. We don't run the casinos we cover, and we don't pretend GamStop is the only route to responsible play. What we do is research, compare and rank the sites so you're not left guessing.

What we actually do

Our team looks at online casinos that sit outside the UK's self-exclusion scheme, most of them licensed in jurisdictions such as Curaçao rather than by the UK Gambling Commission. We check what each site offers, how it treats new players, which payment methods it supports, and how its terms hold up once you read past the headline bonus. The result is a ranked list, refreshed as new operators appear and older ones change their terms.

How we rate and rank

Every casino on choicecleaning.co.uk is scored against the same set of practical criteria. Commission never decides position — a casino that pays us for a placement gets no boost in the ranking, and we say so plainly wherever offers appear.

• Welcome offers and their conditions — the headline bonus figure alongside wagering requirements, spin caps, minimum deposits and expiry windows, since these determine what an offer is worth in practice.
• Game range — the mix of slots, table games and live-dealer rooms available, and whether the catalogue feels padded or genuinely varied.
• Payment options — the deposit and withdrawal methods on offer, processing times, and any fees or limits attached.
• Site reliability and support — how the casino handles account verification, customer queries and basic day-to-day usability.
• Licensing and terms — what regulatory information is published, and how transparent the small print actually is.

Our current top-rated picks — including Betmica, Kikibet and Betninja — sit at the top of the list because they scored well across most of these areas, not because any single factor carries the whole result. Every entry, top-ranked or not, carries at least one drawback worth knowing before you sign up: bonus terms that are harder to clear, a narrower payment list, or fewer live tables than a rival, for example.

Why some readers look beyond GamStop

GamStop is a free UK self-exclusion scheme that blocks access to sites licensed by the Gambling Commission. Plenty of people who've signed up still want to gamble occasionally, and casinos operating under other licensing regimes fall outside GamStop's reach. We don't tell readers whether that choice is right for them — it's a personal one — but we do think anyone making it deserves accurate information rather than guesswork, which is the gap this site tries to fill.

That said, sites not on GamStop typically carry different consumer protections than UKGC-licensed operators. Dispute resolution, deposit limits and licensing oversight can vary considerably between operators, so we flag these differences in our individual reviews rather than assuming one standard applies across the board.

What's beyond the casino floor

Many of the operators we cover also run sportsbooks and betting markets alongside their casino products, letting the same account cover football, tennis or racing markets as well as slots and table games. We treat these as a separate strand of research, since the licensing, odds and payment flow for sports betting can differ from the casino side even on the same site.

Keeping this honest

We update rankings and offer details as terms change, and we're upfront that this site earns commission when readers sign up through some of our links. That relationship never buys a better score or a higher position — the criteria above are applied the same way whether a casino pays us anything or not.

If you're weighing up whether GamStop or a non-GamStop site suits you better, our responsible gambling page covers the tools and support available either way. Our terms and conditions set out how this site itself operates, and if anything here doesn't add up, our contact page is the quickest way to reach us.
