About Us
Bookmakers Not On Gamstop was built for one reason: UK bettors who have self-excluded through GamStop still deserve clear, honest information if they choose to bet with operators licensed outside the UK. We are not a bookmaker and we don't take bets ourselves. We're an independent research and comparison site that looks at bookmakers not on GamStop and lays out what each one actually offers, in plain English.
Why this site exists
GamStop is a self-exclusion scheme that blocks accounts at UK Gambling Commission licensed betting sites. It's a useful tool for many people, but it doesn't extend beyond the UK's own regulatory perimeter. Plenty of bettors look for alternatives once they've excluded, whether that's because their circumstances have changed, they've completed a period of self-reflection, or they simply prefer the different markets, odds and bonus structures that operators outside the GamStop network tend to offer. Our job is to make that search easier and safer by giving straight answers about the sites we cover.
What we actually do
We research bookmakers that sit outside GamStop's reach — sites typically licensed in jurisdictions such as Curaçao or elsewhere offshore — and assess them against a consistent set of criteria before anything appears on the site. Nobody pays us to move up the list. Here's what goes into every review:
- Licensing and legitimacy — we check what licence each operator holds and what that licence actually covers, so readers know the regulatory position before signing up
- Welcome offers and ongoing promotions — we read the full terms behind headline bonus percentages, including minimum deposits, wagering conditions and time limits, not just the number in the offer box
- Sports markets and coverage — how deep the football, horse racing and wider sports coverage runs, and whether in-play and specialist markets are actually there
- Betting features — cash out, bet builder, live streaming and live betting tools, where they're available
- Odds and pricing — how competitive the pricing is across popular markets
- Payment methods — the deposit and withdrawal options on offer, typical processing times, and any fees or limits attached to them, always with GBP transactions in mind for UK readers
- Customer support — whether help is easy to reach and useful when you need it
Sites like our reviewed non GamStop casino operators often run sportsbook and casino products side by side, so we look at the full picture rather than judging a brand on sports betting alone.
How we rate and rank
Every operator on this site carries an editorial rating built from the criteria above. Higher-ranked sites have generally shown stronger all-round offerings — clearer bonus terms, wider market coverage, more useful betting tools or steadier payment processing — rather than any single standout feature. Commission from an operator, where it exists, never buys a better position on our tables. If a site has a weak point, whether that's restrictive bonus terms, a narrower sports selection, or slower withdrawals, we say so rather than glossing over it.
| Operator | Headline offer | Editorial rating |
|---|---|---|
| Tenobet | Sports package: 300% up to €3,000 | 10.0 |
| smash | 250% up to €5,000 | 9.7 |
| WinnerIsland | Up to 55% on Acca with Multiboost | 9.6 |
| CoinPoker | Claim 150% up to $2,000 | 9.6 |
| Gambiva | 300% up to €3,500 | 9.6 |
| Gamble Gorilla | Welcome Sports Bonus 100% up to £100 with £20 deposit | 9.3 |
| BetBluff | Welcome Sports Offer 100% up to £150 Bonus | 9.3 |
| Rolletto | 150% up to €1,500 + 200 Free Bet | 9.3 |
| 7abet | Welcome Bonus of 300% Up To £200 | 9.1 |
| Spartaza | 500% up to £5,000 + 500FS + 300,000 Chips | 8.9 |
Every welcome offer above carries its own qualifying conditions — minimum deposit, wagering requirements, eligible markets and a claim deadline — which we set out in full on each operator's individual review rather than in this summary table.
Why some bettors look beyond GamStop
We don't take a negative view of offshore-licensed operators, and we won't pretend there's anything untoward about choosing to bet with one. Readers tell us they look at non GamStop bookies for a range of ordinary reasons: broader horse racing and football coverage, different bonus structures, alternative payment options, or simply because they've reflected on their own circumstances and want a fresh account. Whatever the reason, our role is to make sure the information used to make that choice is accurate and current.
Our commercial position
Bookmakers Not On Gamstop may earn a commission when a reader signs up with an operator through a link on this site. That relationship never determines how a site is scored or where it sits in our tables — ratings are set against our review criteria first, and commercial arrangements follow afterwards. We'll always flag a genuine drawback where we find one, whether that operator pays us or not.
Betting responsibly, wherever you play
Self-exclusion tools exist because gambling can become a problem for some people, and that doesn't stop being true just because a site sits outside GamStop's network. We'd rather every reader made an informed choice than a rushed one. Our Responsible Gambling page sets out support options and practical steps for keeping betting under control, and it's worth a look whether you're new to betting or returning after a break. All betting on this site is intended for adults aged 18 and over.
