About Us

Non Gamstop Casinos exists for one reason: UK players who have self-excluded through GAMSTOP still want a straightforward, honest place to find out what's out there. We're not here to tell anyone what to do with their own money — we're here to make sure that if someone chooses to play at a casino outside the GAMSTOP scheme, they do it with clear information rather than guesswork.

Who We Are and What We Do

We're an independent research and comparison team covering non GamStop casinos UK, the operators that run them, and the practical details players actually need — payment options, bonus terms, game libraries and how these sites differ from UK Gambling Commission-licensed brands. We don't operate a casino, hold player funds, or process bets ourselves. Our job is to gather what's publicly available about each operator, compare it consistently, and present it in a way that's easy to scan on a phone at 11pm.

Why This Site Exists

GAMSTOP is a self-exclusion scheme for GB-licensed operators, and it's genuinely useful for players who want to lock themselves out of the licensed market. But it isn't the only part of the online gambling world, and plenty of readers land here already knowing that — they're looking for casinos not on GAMSTOP, often licensed in jurisdictions like Curaçao, and they want to know how those sites actually operate before they sign up anywhere. We built this site to answer that question directly rather than pretend the demand doesn't exist.

How We Rate and Rank

Every brand featured on phyconet.org.uk goes through the same checklist before it earns a position on our list. We look at:

• Licensing and operator background — where the site is registered and what that licence typically covers for players
• Welcome offers and ongoing promotions — reading the full wagering terms, not just the headline percentage or free spin count
• Payment methods — the deposit and withdrawal routes on offer, including crypto and card options where supported, and any fees or limits attached
• Game selection — the balance of slots, table games and live dealer titles, and which software studios supply them
• Site usability and support — how easy the platform is to navigate on mobile and how contactable support actually is

We update rankings as new information comes in and as new casinos not on GamStop launch, so a brand's position can move. Commission arrangements never buy a higher spot — an operator with no affiliate relationship with us would be scored the same way as one that pays us to advertise.

Our Independence and How We're Funded

Non Gamstop Casinos earns revenue through affiliate commissions. If a reader clicks through from this site and signs up with an operator, we may be paid for that referral. This funding model does not change how we score or order brands — a casino cannot pay to move up our list, and we will note a limitation or weak point on a top-rated brand just as readily as on one further down. Our value to readers depends on staying credible, and a list padded with mediocre operators for a bigger cheque wouldn't do that.

What We Won't Tell You

We don't tell readers whether to gamble, how much to spend, or that any outcome is likely. We don't claim to have deposited, played or withdrawn at every brand we list — our reviews are built from research and verification of publicly available terms, licensing details and operator reputation, not first-hand play. Where information isn't published or confirmed, we say so rather than filling the gap with a guess.

We also don't pretend self-exclusion through GAMSTOP and playing at a site outside it are the same thing, or attempt to talk anyone out of a decision that's theirs to make. If self-exclusion is something you're reconsidering, our Responsible Gambling page has practical tools and support contacts worth reading alongside anything else on this site.

Who This Site Is For

This site is written for adults aged 18 and over in Great Britain who are already aware of non GamStop casinos and want a comparison point rather than a sales pitch. If you're weighing up welcome bonuses, wondering which payment methods actually clear quickly, or trying to work out how a Curaçao-licensed operator differs from a UKGC one, that's the ground we cover.
