About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos was built for one specific reader: someone who has self-excluded through GamStop but still wants clear, honest information about the casinos operating outside that scheme. We don't run the casinos we cover, and we don't pretend they're something they're not. What we do is research them, compare them on the things that actually matter to a UK player, and lay out the findings plainly.

Why this site exists

GamStop is a self-exclusion tool for sites holding a UK Gambling Commission licence. It doesn't extend to operators licensed elsewhere, and a growing number of players search for those alternatives — whether they've completed a self-exclusion period, want a wider range of games and bonuses, or simply prefer a different type of operator. Our job is to make that search safer and more informed, not to tell anyone whether they should or shouldn't play. That decision sits with the individual, and anyone still working through a gambling problem should treat our responsible gambling guidance as the starting point, not this page.

How we assess and rank casinos

Every operator listed on lettingfees.co.uk is looked at against the same set of criteria before it earns a place in our tables. We don't accept payment to move a brand up the list — commission from an operator, where it exists, never decides position. Here's what we actually weigh up:

• Licensing and operational history — most sites in this space hold a Curaçao licence rather than a UK one; we check how long an operator has been trading and whether it has a track record we can point to
• Game range and software providers — the breadth of slots, table games and live dealer titles, and whether recognisable studios are behind them
• Bonus terms — the headline percentage and cap matter less than the wagering requirements, maximum bet rules and game restrictions attached to them
• Payment options — the methods available to UK players, and the deposit and withdrawal timeframes and limits that come with each
• Customer support — whether help is genuinely reachable and how quickly queries get resolved
• Site usability — how the casino performs on mobile, and how straightforward registration and verification actually are

Our current top-rated picks include Betmica, Kikibet and Betninja, alongside other reviewed brands such as WinnerIsland, Zombillion, Smash Casino, Nightluck, CoinPoker, Rivo and Daytonaspin. Full breakdowns of each, including welcome offers and the conditions attached to them, sit on our main casino comparison page.

What we won't do

We won't tell you that playing at a casino outside GamStop is illegal, because it isn't — GamStop is a voluntary UK exclusion scheme, not a law, and operators licensed in other jurisdictions are entitled to accept UK customers. What we will always do is flag the practical differences: less UK-specific consumer protection, dispute resolution routes that run through the licensing jurisdiction rather than the UK Gambling Commission, and bonus terms that can be more demanding than those on GamStop-registered sites. Readers should weigh those factors themselves, and our responsible gambling page covers self-exclusion tools that work independently of GamStop, should anyone want to step back again.

Where the positives come in

We're not here to talk anyone out of a choice they're entitled to make. Casinos not on GamStop often run larger and more varied welcome packages, faster account approval, a wider spread of payment methods including crypto in some cases, and game libraries that aren't restricted by UK-specific rules. Our reviews highlight these genuinely where they apply, alongside the limitations, so readers get a realistic picture rather than a one-sided one.

Keeping the site current

New operators appear in this market regularly, and terms change without much notice. We revisit our listings and rewrite sections when an offer, a licence detail, or a payment option no longer matches what's live on a casino's own site. If you spot something that looks out of date, or you've had an experience with a listed operator that doesn't match our write-up, we'd genuinely like to hear it — it's how the comparisons stay accurate. You can reach us through our contact page, and our full terms and conditions set out how the site itself operates.

Who this site is for

This isn't a general online casino guide — plenty of those exist already. lettingfees.co.uk is aimed specifically at UK players who already know what GamStop is and are looking at what sits outside it: which brands are active, what their offers actually cost in terms of wagering and terms, and how they compare to the UK-licensed sites most readers have used before. If that's not your situation, our content probably isn't the most useful thing you'll find, and that's fine — we'd rather be useful to the right reader than broad for everyone.

All content on this site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. Gambling carries risk, and nothing here should be read as financial or legal advice.
