About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos was built for one specific reader: someone who has self-excluded through GamStop but wants clear, honest information about betting sites operating outside that scheme. We're not here to talk anyone into gambling. We're here so that if you're already looking, you have something more useful than a random search result.

Why this site exists

GamStop is the UK's self-exclusion scheme for operators licensed by the Gambling Commission. It blocks you from signing up to those specific sites, but it has no reach over betting and casino platforms licensed elsewhere, typically in Curaçao or other offshore jurisdictions. These sites are legal for GB adults to access and are not bound by GamStop's exclusion list. We built primarydancepartnership.co.uk to track, compare and explain them, because the information available elsewhere is often thin, outdated or written by people who've never looked past the homepage.

We think the honest starting point is this: some readers who've self-excluded are managing that decision carefully and simply want a break from a specific operator or a cooling-off period, while others want to explore what's out there. We don't judge either position. Our job is to describe the market accurately.

How we research and rank the sites we cover

Every operator we list is checked against a consistent set of criteria before it earns a place in our tables:

• Licensing and jurisdiction — where the operator holds its licence and what that means for player protections
• Welcome offers and wagering conditions — the headline bonus alongside the deposit requirements, wagering multiples and expiry terms attached to it
• Payment methods — the deposit and withdrawal options available to GB players, and any fees or processing delays
• Game range — the breadth of slots, table games, live-dealer options and sports betting markets on offer
• Site usability and support — how easy the platform is to navigate and whether customer support is responsive

We update our research regularly as offers, terms and operator lineups change — new non-GamStop casinos appear often, and older ones sometimes change ownership or terms without much notice. Where we recommend paid or partner platforms, primarydancepartnership.co.uk may earn a commission if you sign up through a link on this site. That commercial relationship never decides where an operator sits in our rankings — position is based on the criteria above, not on payment.

A brief word on the operators we cover

Our rankings currently include operators such as Betmica, Kikibet, Betninja, WinnerIsland, Zombillion and others further down the list, each reviewed against the same criteria. Betmica sits at the top of our current table with a large headline welcome package, but as with every offer on this site, that figure comes with wagering requirements and terms that matter more than the size of the number — we set those out in detail on our main comparison page rather than repeating them here. No operator on our list is beyond criticism, and we say so where it's relevant: strong bonus terms don't always mean strong long-term value, and a wide game catalogue doesn't guarantee fast withdrawals.

What "not on GamStop" actually means for you

It's worth being precise about this, because a lot of sites blur it. GamStop only covers operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. Sites licensed in other jurisdictions are legally allowed to accept UK customers and are not part of the scheme, so self-exclusion through GamStop doesn't stop you registering with them. That's a legal fact, not encouragement — we never suggest it's wrong or improper for readers to explore this part of the market, and we won't pretend otherwise. Equally, we won't dress it up as risk-free. Consumer protections, dispute resolution and licensing standards vary between jurisdictions, and it's up to each reader to weigh that up.

If you've self-excluded and are reconsidering that decision, or want support around gambling more generally, our responsible gambling page has resources worth reading before you sign up anywhere.

What we don't do

• We don't invent bonus terms, licensing claims or payment details — everything we publish is checked against what the operator states
• We don't claim to have deposited, played or withdrawn from every site we list; our reviews are based on research and verification, not simulated play
• We don't rank operators by commission — paid partnerships never override our assessment criteria
• We don't tell readers what decision to make about their own gambling
