About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos was built for one straightforward reason: people who've self-excluded through GamStop still want clear, honest information about the alternative sites operating outside that scheme. We're not a betting site ourselves — we're an independent research and comparison resource that looks at casinos not on GamStop, tells you what's on offer, and flags what to watch out for before you sign up anywhere.

Why We Cover Non GamStop Casinos

GamStop is a UK self-exclusion scheme that lets players lock themselves out of GamStop-registered betting sites for a set period. It's a useful tool for a lot of people, but it only covers operators licensed specifically under that scheme. A large number of legitimate international casinos sit outside it entirely, typically licensed in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, and many UK players actively look for them — whether that's for a broader range of games, bigger welcome packages, or simply more choice than a handful of UKGC-regulated sites can offer. Our job is to make that search easier and safer, not to talk anyone into or out of playing.

What We Actually Do

Every brand featured on pg99.co.uk goes through the same research process before it earns a place in our rankings:

• We check licensing details, ownership information and how long the operator has been active
• We review the games library, software providers and whether live-dealer tables are included
• We look at payment methods available to UK players, including deposit and withdrawal speeds and limits
• We read the bonus terms in full — wagering requirements, maximum cashout caps, game weighting and expiry dates
• We assess site usability, mobile compatibility and how customer support responds to real queries

None of this involves us placing bets or depositing funds ourselves. We research, verify and cross-reference publicly available information, operator terms and regulatory records rather than testing gameplay directly.

How Rankings Are Decided

Positions on pg99.co.uk reflect our editorial assessment of licensing, game range, payment reliability, bonus fairness and overall reputation. Some operators we list pay us a commission if a reader signs up through our site — this is standard for comparison sites and helps keep pg99.co.uk free to use. It does not influence where a brand sits in our rankings. A casino offering us better commercial terms does not move up the list; a casino offering nothing at all can still outrank it if the research supports that position.

Take our current top listings as an example. Betmica and Kikibet sit at the top of the table with large headline welcome offers and strong editorial ratings, but every offer we publish comes with its own wagering requirements, minimum deposits and time limits — we list those conditions next to the offer itself rather than burying them in small print elsewhere. Brands further down the list, such as Rivo or Daytonaspin, may suit different players better depending on whether cashback structures or specific slot providers matter more to you than headline bonus size.

What We Won't Tell You

We won't tell you that playing at a casino not on GamStop is against the law — it isn't, and self-exclusion through GamStop is a voluntary scheme rather than a legal restriction. We also won't pretend every operator suits every reader. Non GamStop casinos generally sit outside UK Gambling Commission oversight, which means the consumer protections that come with a UKGC licence — such as mandatory affordability checks or access to UK dispute resolution schemes — typically don't apply in the same way. That's a genuine trade-off, and part of our role is to explain it plainly rather than gloss over it.

If you're weighing that decision up, our guide to non GamStop casinos in the UK covers licensing, game selection and how these sites compare to GamStop-registered operators in more depth. For readers who are concerned about their gambling habits, our responsible gambling page sets out support options and how self-exclusion tools actually work.

A Note on Independence

We update our reviews as operators change their terms, launch new promotions, or exit the market. The date shown at the top of this page reflects when it was last reviewed. If something looks out of date or you've spotted an error in one of our write-ups, we'd genuinely like to know — accuracy matters more to us than any single listing.
