About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos was built for one specific reader: someone in GB who has self-excluded through GAMSTOP but still wants to gamble legally at sites operating outside that scheme. We focus tightly on Curaçao-licensed casinos not on GamStop, because that's the part of the market GAMSTOP itself doesn't touch, and it's the part most comparison sites gloss over or misrepresent.

What GAMSTOP Actually Covers — And What It Doesn't

GAMSTOP is a free UK self-exclusion scheme that blocks access to operators licensed by the Gambling Commission. It does not extend to operators licensed elsewhere, including the many casinos that hold a Curaçao licence. That's a fact of how the scheme is structured, not a loophole we've invented. Casinos not on GamStop operate under a different regulator, with different rules on registration, bonuses and player protections, and we think GB readers deserve clear, accurate information about what that means in practice — rather than being left to work it out from an operator's own marketing.

Our Approach to Ranking

We don't accept payment for placement, and commission never decides where a brand sits on our lists. Every entry on nonewcoal.org.uk is assessed against the same criteria, applied consistently across every site we cover:

• Licensing and operator background — confirming a valid Curaçao licence is in place and the operator is a recognised, ongoing business
• Bonus terms in full — not just the headline percentage, but wagering requirements, maximum withdrawal caps, game contribution rates and expiry windows
• Game range — the depth and mix of slots, table games and live-dealer studios, and which software providers are behind them
• Payment options — the deposit and withdrawal methods on offer, processing times, limits and any fees GB players should expect
• Site usability and support — how easy the platform is to navigate, and whether help is genuinely reachable when something goes wrong

Brands like Betmica, Kikibet and Betninja sit at the top of our current rankings because they score consistently well across these points — strong game libraries, workable payment coverage and bonus terms that are at least legible, even if none of them are without a catch. A high headline offer, such as a large percentage match or a big free-spin count, always comes with wagering conditions attached, and we flag those conditions rather than let the number speak for itself.

Why We Cover This Market at All

We take no position on whether any individual reader should or shouldn't gamble — that's a personal decision, and self-exclusion is one tool among several for managing it. What we do think is that GB adults who choose to play at casinos not on GamStop should be able to find honest, specific information: which brands are active, what their bonuses actually cost in wagering terms, which payment methods they support, and what a Curaçao licence does and doesn't guarantee compared with a UK Gambling Commission one. There are genuine positives some readers find in this part of the market too — larger and more frequent welcome offers, fewer deposit restrictions, a wider spread of slot providers, and sign-up processes that are typically quicker than UKGC-licensed sites. We report those alongside the trade-offs, not instead of them.

What We Don't Do

We're not an operator, we don't process deposits or bets, and we've never claimed to. We also don't tell readers that using a non-GamStop site is illegal or that they shouldn't — it isn't, and that's not our call to make. What we won't do is dress up a bonus as risk-free, invent a licence status, or hide wagering terms in small print you'd have to dig for. If you've self-excluded and are reconsidering that decision, our Responsible Gambling page has practical information worth reading first.

How the Site Is Funded

Non Gamstop Casinos earns commission when a reader clicks through to a listed casino and signs up. That relationship never buys a higher rating or a better position on our tables — the two are kept deliberately separate. Full detail on how we use the site and what we're liable for is set out in our Terms and Conditions.

Keeping Pace With a Moving Market

New Curaçao-licensed casinos launch regularly, and existing ones change their bonus terms, payment providers or game catalogues without much notice. We revisit our listings and rankings on an ongoing basis rather than treating them as fixed, and our fuller comparison — including deeper mini-reviews and a broader ranking table — lives on our Non Gamstop Casinos UK page if you want the complete picture beyond this overview.

Questions About Our Process

If something on the site looks out of date, unclear, or you think we've missed a relevant detail about a listed operator, the Contact Us page is the right place to raise it. We're a small, independent operation, and reader feedback is one of the main ways our reviews stay accurate.

Gambling should always be treated as entertainment, not income, and none of the offers listed on this site are risk-free. All bonuses carry wagering requirements and terms that vary by operator. This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over.
