About Us

Games Not on GamStop is an independent editorial guide built for UK players navigating the offshore online gambling landscape. We research, verify and publish detailed information about casino games, licensing jurisdictions, bonus structures, payment methods and responsible gambling practices at sites operating outside the UK Gambling Commission’s framework.

What We Do

Our primary goal is to close the information gap that exists for players considering non-GamStop casinos. The UK’s regulated gambling market is well-documented by the Gambling Commission and licensed operators. The offshore space is not. Players who step outside GamStop’s perimeter encounter a wide range of operators holding licences from jurisdictions such as Curacao, Malta and Gibraltar, each with different regulatory standards, bonus practices and player protections. We provide the factual groundwork that allows players to assess these differences for themselves.

Our content covers game categories available at non-GamStop sites, including slots, live dealer tables, crash games and more. We explain how RTP configurations, wagering requirements and withdrawal terms work in practice. We compare licensing frameworks so readers can understand what each jurisdiction does and does not guarantee. And we publish practical safety checks that any player can run before committing funds to an unfamiliar operator.

Editorial Independence

This website is funded in part through affiliate partnerships with online casino operators. When a visitor clicks certain links on our pages and registers or deposits at the linked site, we may receive a referral commission. This is a standard commercial model in the iGaming publishing space and it is how we fund our research and content production.

Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial assessments. We do not accept payment to alter factual information, misrepresent licensing status, inflate RTP figures or suppress negative findings about any operator. The information published on this site is researched independently and presented as accurately as we can manage. Where data sources are available, we link to them directly. Where we identify a risk, we state it plainly.

Our Approach to Responsible Gambling

We take responsible gambling seriously and treat it as a core editorial obligation, not an afterthought buried in small print. Our pillar guide includes a dedicated responsible gambling section, and we integrate safety-related context throughout every topic we cover, from bonus terms to payment methods to game selection.

We recognise that some readers arrive at this site because they have self-excluded through GamStop and are looking for alternatives. For players in that position due to genuine gambling harm, we consistently advise against using non-GamStop casinos as a workaround. We link to support organisations including GamCare, BeGambleAware and Gambling Therapy, and we encourage readers to use these free, confidential services.

For players who are not in that category and who wish to explore offshore options with a clear understanding of the trade-offs involved, we aim to provide the most thorough and honest briefing available.

Content Standards

All factual claims published on this website are checked against primary sources wherever possible. These include official regulatory registers such as the Curacao Gaming Authority and the Malta Gaming Authority, game provider documentation for RTP and mechanic specifications, operator terms and conditions pages, and reporting from established iGaming industry publications.

We update our content regularly to reflect changes in the regulatory landscape, operator terms and market conditions. When statistics or regulatory details change, we revise the relevant pages and note the update date. We do not publish outdated information knowingly.

Our guides are written in plain English. We avoid jargon where possible and define technical terms where they are necessary. We aim for a tone that is informative and direct without being promotional. The goal is always to help readers make informed decisions, not to steer them toward a particular outcome.
