About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos was built for one specific reader: someone who has self-excluded through GamStop but still wants a straightforward, honest source of information on casinos operating outside that scheme. We focus in particular on free spins and welcome offers, because that's usually the first thing people compare before choosing where to play.

What we do

We research and compare casinos not on GamStop, with a specific lens on the bonuses and free spins they advertise to new players. GamStop is the UK's self-exclusion scheme, used by UKGC-licensed operators to block registration for a period a customer chooses. It does not extend automatically to casinos licensed elsewhere, which is why sites outside that scheme still accept UK players and still run promotions. We don't tell readers whether they should or shouldn't use these sites — that's a personal decision — but we do try to make sure the information they're using to decide is accurate and current.

Every brand on investineden.co.uk is checked against the same set of questions: what licence sits behind the operator, what the welcome offer actually requires in terms of deposit and wagering, which payment methods are supported for UK players, and what the game selection looks like beyond the headline slots. We update listings as offers change, and we flag new non GamStop casinos as they appear rather than leaving stale pages live.

How we rate and rank

Our editorial ratings are built from a consistent checklist rather than a single factor:

• Licensing and how transparent the operator is about it
• The real value of a welcome offer once wagering requirements and caps are factored in
• Breadth of games — slots, table games and live-dealer options
• Payment methods available to UK customers, including deposit and withdrawal speed
• How straightforward the site is to use on mobile, and how responsive support appears to be

No brand pays for a higher position on this site. Commercial relationships with some operators mean we may earn a commission if a reader signs up through a link here, but that arrangement never decides where a casino sits in our rankings — the checklist above does.

Why free spins get special attention

Free spins are the offer most readers search for first, so we treat the terms attached to them as seriously as the headline number. A pack advertised as "300 free spins" or "up to £5,700" is only useful once you know the minimum deposit, the games the spins apply to, the wagering multiple, and any maximum withdrawal from bonus winnings. Where these details are supplied by an operator we set them out beside the offer itself, not buried in small print elsewhere on the page.

Our non GamStop casinos guide goes into more depth on choosing between operators, and covers payment methods, game variety and how these sites compare with UKGC-licensed alternatives.

What we won't do

We won't claim an offer is risk-free, guaranteed, or better value than it is. Gambling always carries the possibility of losing money, and no bonus changes that. We also won't pretend these sites are regulated in the same way as GamStop-participating operators — they typically hold licences from other jurisdictions, and the consumer protections attached differ from those under the UK Gambling Commission. Anyone reading this site should be over 18 and should treat every figure we publish as a starting point for their own checking, not a promise.

Responsible gambling comes first

We take the position that self-exclusion is a tool people use for good reasons, and nothing on this site is designed to undermine that decision. If you're reading this page because you're weighing up whether to gamble at a site outside GamStop, we'd encourage you to look at our Responsible Gambling page first, which covers support options and how self-exclusion works in more detail. Our aim is to give balanced, factual information — the choice of what to do with it stays with the reader.

Getting in touch

If you spot an error, have a question about a review, or want to flag a change to an operator's terms, our Contact Us page has the details. We rely partly on reader feedback to keep listings accurate, so reports of outdated offers or broken links are genuinely useful to us. Full terms for using this site are set out in our Terms and Conditions.
