Betting Sites Not on GamStop: About Us

Who We Are

We are an independent editorial team focused on reviewing offshore bookmakers. Our work is not funded by, or affiliated with, any single betting operator. You get unbiased assessments based on research, not commercial relationships.

Our Mission

Our mission is straightforward: help UK adults who have self-excluded via GamStop find legitimate offshore alternatives. We focus on operators that hold recognised licences and offer fair terms. You deserve accurate information, not marketing copy.

What We Review and Why

We assess more than 50 non-GamStop bookmakers every year across consistent criteria. Each review covers licensing, bonus fairness, withdrawal speed, customer support, and responsible gambling tools. You can compare operators on the same terms, without guesswork.

Our Review Methodology

Licensing Verification

Licensing is the first filter every bookmaker must pass before we publish a review. We only cover sites holding active licences from the Malta Gaming Authority, Curacao eGaming, or the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission. You can verify each licence number independently on the relevant regulator’s website.

Bonus Fairness Assessment

Bonus terms are assessed against a clear set of benchmarks. We flag wagering requirements above 40x, restricted game weightings, and short expiry windows. You will always see the key conditions summarised in plain language.

Withdrawal Speed Testing

Withdrawal speed is tested using real accounts where possible, or verified via documented user reports. We note the stated processing times and compare them against actual outcomes. A bookmaker that advertises 24-hour withdrawals but consistently takes five days is flagged accordingly.

Customer Support Evaluation

Customer support is rated on availability, response time, and the quality of answers provided. We test live chat, email, and where available, telephone support. A site offering only email with a 72-hour response window receives a lower support score.

Responsible Gambling Tools

Responsible gambling tools offered by the operator itself are reviewed separately from GamStop membership. We check for deposit limits, session timers, self-exclusion options, and links to support organisations. You should be able to set limits regardless of which platform you use.

Our Editorial Standards

Every review is updated at least once per year, or sooner if licence status or terms change. We do not accept payment for positive coverage or higher rankings. Our ratings reflect the evidence we find, not the size of an operator’s marketing budget.

Responsible Gambling Disclaimer

This website does not encourage you to bypass GamStop or to override a self-exclusion decision you have made. GamStop exists to support people who need a break from betting, and that decision deserves respect. If you are struggling with gambling, please seek support before using any betting site.

You are responsible for your own betting decisions. We provide information; we do not provide advice on whether you should bet at all. If you have self-excluded and are considering offshore sites, please reflect carefully before proceeding.
