About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos is an independent comparison site built for UK players who are looking for Curacao-licensed casinos that operate outside the GamStop self-exclusion scheme. This page explains who runs the site, how we decide what appears on it, and what we expect from every casino we list.

Who We Are

We are a small editorial team with a background in online gambling research and consumer comparison. We do not own, operate or have any financial stake in any of the casinos featured here. Our role is to research, verify and present the options available to UK adults so that readers can make an informed choice — not to push any single brand.

The site is published at discovershropshire.org.uk. If you have a question about our work or want to flag an inaccuracy, you can reach us through our contact page.

What This Site Covers

Every casino listed on Non Gamstop Casinos holds a licence from the Curaçao gaming authority. These sites accept UK players and are not registered with the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), which means they sit outside the GamStop network. That is the defining characteristic of every operator we cover — it is not a coincidence, it is the selection criterion.

We cover welcome bonuses, ongoing promotions, game libraries, payment options and the terms attached to each. Where a site also offers sports betting or other products alongside its casino, we note that too. A full breakdown of how the top-rated options compare is on our main Non Gamstop Casinos UK page.

How We Research and Rank

Every casino on our list is reviewed against a consistent set of criteria. We do not test accounts personally — our process is desk-based research and verification against publicly available terms, licensing databases and player-reported information. Commission arrangements do not determine ranking position; a casino that pays higher commission does not rank higher because of it.

The factors we weigh are:

• Licensing and legal standing — we verify that the operator holds a current Curaçao licence before it appears anywhere on the site.
• Bonus value and fairness — headline figures are checked against wagering requirements, time limits and eligible games. A large number next to a punishing wagering requirement is noted as such.
• Game range and software quality — we look at the spread of slots, table games and live-dealer options, and which software studios supply them.
• Payment methods and withdrawal speed — we check which methods are accepted for UK players, minimum and maximum limits, and any fees applied.
• Customer support — availability, channels and languages supported.
• Mobile experience — whether the site functions well on a smartphone browser without a dedicated app.

Each casino receives an editorial rating out of 10. That score reflects the balance of the criteria above and is not a customer review score. It is set by our editorial team and updated when material changes occur at the operator.

The Casinos We Currently Recommend

Our ranked list is kept under regular review. Below is a brief account of how we arrived at the three highest-placed options and what distinguishes each of them.

Betmica — Rated 9.9

Betmica sits at the top of our list because it combines one of the largest welcome packages we have seen at a Curacao casino — 570% up to £5,700 plus 270 Free Spins — with a broad game library and clear, accessible bonus terms. The GBP denomination of the welcome offer makes it directly relevant to UK players without any currency conversion. The sheer scale of the percentage bonus is a genuine draw, though players should read the attached wagering conditions carefully before committing a large deposit. As with any outsized bonus, the playthrough obligation rises in proportion to the headline figure.

Rivo — Rated 9.8

Rivo earns its second-place position through an unusually structured welcome package: a 1,000% match up to €10,000 on slots, plus 25% cashback. The cashback element is what makes it stand apart from a straightforward match bonus — it provides a partial safety net during the early stages of play, which is a meaningful difference in practice. The high maximum means it suits players who intend to deposit more than a token amount. The limitation worth noting is that the headline bonus is denominated in euros, so UK players will see a GBP equivalent applied at the prevailing exchange rate.

Kikibet — Rated 9.8

Kikibet shares the 9.8 editorial rating with Rivo but reaches it through different strengths. Its welcome offer of 350% up to £5,555 plus 300 Free Spins is sterling-denominated, which removes currency uncertainty for UK depositors. The 300 free spins allocation is among the highest on our list, making it particularly suited to players whose primary interest is slots. The trade-off is a lower maximum than some competitors, and players focused on table games may find the bonus structure less compelling since free spins are typically restricted to specific slot titles.

Smash Casino, WinnerIsland, Zombillion and Others

The remaining casinos on our list — including Smash Casino (rated 9.9), WinnerIsland (9.6), Zombillion (9.5), Gambiva (9.3), Betninja (9.7), Nightluck (9.1) and Daytonaspin (9.1) — are each reviewed in full on our main comparison page, where you can compare their bonuses, game ranges and terms side by side.

Licensing and Legal Position for UK Players

All sites on this list are licensed by the Curaçao gaming authority, not the UK Gambling Commission. Playing at a Curaçao-licensed site as a UK adult is not a criminal offence. The UKGC does not licence these operators, which means the consumer protections that apply at UKGC-regulated sites — such as mandatory membership of the GamStop scheme, dispute resolution through IBAS, and UKGC complaints processes — do not automatically apply here.

Readers should be aware of that distinction. It does not make these sites unsafe, but it does mean the protective framework is different and in some respects narrower. We only list operators with a current Curaçao licence, and we do not list sites that we cannot verify are actively licensed.

You must be 18 or over to use any site listed here. That requirement is absolute and is set by the operators themselves as a condition of their Curaçao licence.

Our Position on Responsible Gambling

This site exists to help people make informed comparisons. It does not encourage anyone to gamble beyond their means or to treat casino play as a source of income. If gambling is causing you difficulty — financially, personally or otherwise — please visit our responsible gambling page for information on where to get help, including how to self-exclude from non-GamStop sites.

Commercial Relationships

Some of the casinos featured on this site have commercial arrangements with Non Gamstop Casinos, meaning we may earn a commission if a reader signs up through one of our links. That income helps us maintain and update the site. It does not influence where a casino is ranked or whether it appears at all — our criteria for inclusion are editorial, not commercial. We list limitations alongside every recommendation, including for the highest-rated options.
