About Us
Sites Not On Gamstop (consoleob.com) is an independent research and comparison site for adults in the UK who want to understand casinos that operate outside the GamStop scheme. We explain how these sites work, what their offers really involve and where the risks sit, so you can decide with clear information rather than headline banners.
This page sets out what we publish, how we assess casinos, how the site is funded and what we cannot tell you. Information was last checked on 29 September 2026.
How the site is funded
We may earn a commission if you follow a link to a casino and later sign up or deposit. That is how the site pays for its research. Commission does not buy position: the order of the top list reflects our editorial assessment, and a casino cannot pay to be ranked higher or to have a weakness left out.
The casino selections and top lists are supplied to us by the publisher. We then review them against the criteria below and write about them, including their drawbacks. If a fact cannot be verified, we say so instead of filling the gap.
What we cover and why
Many readers arrive knowing little about licensing, wagering requirements or withdrawal rules. We assume no prior knowledge and try not to talk down to anyone. Our guides cover:
- Regulation: GAMSTOP, the UK Gambling Commission, overseas gambling licences and casino ownership.
- Bonuses: welcome and deposit bonuses, free spins, no-deposit offers, cashback and loyalty rewards, plus the conditions that shape their value.
- Money: GBP accounts, debit cards, bank transfers, e-wallets, PayPal availability, cryptocurrency, fees, currency conversion and withdrawal limits.
- Games: slots, progressive jackpots, live dealer tables, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, software providers, RTP and volatility.
- Sports betting: pre-match and in-play markets, esports, accumulators, bet builders, cash-out and free bet terms.
- Protection: support, complaints procedures, self-exclusion, deposit and loss limits, blocking software and GamCare.
Our main comparison is on our reviewed list of non GamStop casinos.
What "not on GamStop" actually means
GAMSTOP is the national self-exclusion scheme for online gambling licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), which regulates gambling in Great Britain. Casinos licensed elsewhere, often under overseas licences, are not required to join it. That is why a person who has registered with GAMSTOP can still find such sites accessible.
It is important to separate two things. A casino accepting British customers is not the same as being authorised by the UKGC to serve them. Sites outside the UKGC system generally do not offer the same route to UK-based dispute handling or the same mandatory protections. Some readers value the wider game and bonus choice; others should think carefully, especially anyone who joined GAMSTOP because gambling was causing harm. We do not encourage anyone to use these sites to get around a self-exclusion they chose. Our responsible gambling page covers limits, blocking software and support such as GamCare.
How we assess casinos
We have not claimed to have deposited, played or withdrawn at any casino. Our work is desk research: reading the published terms, licence information, payment pages and support details, and checking them against what the casino advertises. Where we can, we distinguish between:
- Confirmed information found in a casino's own terms or an official register.
- Advertising claims such as headline bonuses and speed promises, which we treat as claims, not results.
- Unresolved questions, which we flag for you to check before depositing.
The main factors are:
| Factor | What we look for |
|---|---|
| Licensing and ownership | Which licence is stated, who operates the site and whether that can be verified |
| Bonus terms | Wagering requirements, game contribution, maximum bet, expiry and cashout limits |
| Payments | GBP support, methods available to UK customers, fees, conversion and minimum deposits |
| Withdrawals | Stated limits and timings, identity and source-of-funds checks, dispute routes |
| Games and betting | Range of slots, live tables and sportsbook, software providers |
| Player protection | Deposit and loss limits, self-exclusion tools, complaints process, support access |
How to read our ratings and offers
Our ratings are editorial scores. They are not customer-review scores and do not predict your experience. The lead offers on the list, such as those from Betmica, Kikibet and Betninja, are advertised by the casinos. Large percentages and high caps usually come with wagering requirements, so the headline figure says little about what you could realistically withdraw.
For example, if a bonus of £100 carried a 40x wagering requirement on the bonus amount, you would need to stake £4,000 before withdrawing bonus-related winnings, and slots, tables and live games often count differently. We cannot state the current terms of any casino as permanent, since they change. Read the full terms on the casino's own site before you deposit.
What we cannot promise
- We do not guarantee withdrawals, winnings or that any casino is completely safe.
- Gambling is entertainment, not income and not a solution to money problems.
- Availability of payment methods, PayPal, crypto or GBP accounts can vary by casino and by customer, so verify before you register.
- Terms may have changed since our last check.
