About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos exists for one reason: to help people in the UK who are looking at casinos not on GAMSTOP find clear, honest information before they sign up anywhere. We don't run the casinos we cover, and we don't pretend that every operator on our list is identical. This page explains who we are, how we build our comparisons, and what we do — and don't — claim to know.

Why we cover casinos not on GAMSTOP

GAMSTOP is the UK's national self-exclusion scheme, used by UKGC-licensed operators to let players block themselves from gambling on licensed British sites for a set period. Some readers who have used GAMSTOP still want accurate, factual information about the wider market — including operators licensed outside the UK, typically in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, that are not connected to the scheme. We don't tell readers what to do with that information. We simply report on what these sites offer: game libraries, bonus structures, payment options and how they compare against each other, so that anyone researching the topic has a factual reference point rather than guesswork or marketing copy.

It's worth being upfront about the positives readers often ask us about too. Casinos operating outside the GAMSTOP network can offer larger and more frequent welcome packages, a broader spread of game providers, faster account setup, and payment options — including crypto and e-wallets — that some UK-facing sites restrict. These are genuine features of the market, not claims we've invented, and we set them out plainly alongside the drawbacks.

How we build our comparisons

Every operator that appears on areyoustirrd.co.uk is assessed against the same set of practical criteria, not marketing claims. We look at:

• Licensing and jurisdiction — where the operator is licensed and what that means for the player
• Bonus terms — the headline offer alongside wagering requirements, expiry windows and any deposit conditions attached to it
• Game range — the spread across slots, table games, and live-dealer studios, and which software providers are actually present
• Payment methods — what's available for deposits and withdrawals, and how long payouts typically take
• Site usability — how straightforward registration, verification and mobile play are in practice

Our editorial ratings reflect this research and are not the same thing as verified customer reviews or star ratings left by players. We have not deposited funds, placed bets or withdrawn winnings at these sites, and we don't claim otherwise. Where we rank operators — such as Betmica, Kikibet or Betninja — the position reflects our assessment of the criteria above, not payment from the operator. Commission from any operator we link to does not influence where it sits in our rankings; a lower-paying or non-commercial listing can outrank a higher-paying one if our research says it should.

What we won't do

We won't tell readers that gambling at any particular site is safe, profitable, or a good idea for them personally. We won't claim a bonus is "free" when it carries wagering conditions or a minimum deposit — those conditions are stated next to the offer itself. And we won't present an operator as licensed or regulated in a way we can't support with fact. If we can't verify a detail, we say so rather than filling the gap with a guess.

Keeping information current

Casino offers, bonus terms and even operator line-ups change regularly. New non-GAMSTOP casinos launch, older ones adjust their welcome packages, and payment providers come and go. We review our listings periodically and update the site when we find a material change, but readers should always check the operator's own terms before signing up — offer details and wagering conditions are set by the casino, not by us.

A note on responsible play

Nothing on this site is intended to encourage anyone to gamble beyond what they're comfortable with. If you're weighing up self-exclusion, budgeting tools, or where to find support, our Responsible Gambling page covers the options available. Our main comparison page, Non GamStop Casinos 2026 - Best Online Casinos UK, is the best starting point if you want the full ranked list and detailed reviews rather than this background page.
