Play Beyond GamStop

Bigger bonuses. Faster payouts. On your terms.

GamStop is the UK's national self-exclusion scheme. Every casino licensed by the UK Gambling Commission must connect to it. Non-GamStop casinos are licensed abroad — in Curaçao, Anjouan and similar jurisdictions — and are not connected to the scheme, which is why they can still accept UK players, including those who have self-excluded.

They are legal for UK adults to use, but they are not protected by the UKGC: no UK dispute resolution, optional rather than mandatory deposit limits, and the credit-card ban does not apply. We only list operators with a verifiable offshore licence and a record of paying players — and we set out the risks on every page.

Self-excluded for a reason? If you joined GamStop because gambling was causing harm, please consider whether using a non-GamStop site is right for you. Free, confidential help: GamCare & BeGambleAware.org.

FAQ
Are non-GamStop casinos legal in the UK?

Yes. It is not illegal for a UK adult to play at a casino licensed offshore. The operator does not hold a UK Gambling Commission licence, so it is not breaking UK law by serving you, and you are not breaking the law by playing. You simply lose UKGC consumer protections such as dispute resolution and mandatory deposit limits.

Can I use a non-GamStop casino if I've self-excluded?

Technically yes — these sites are not connected to GamStop, so self-exclusion does not block them. But GamStop exists to protect you. If you self-excluded because gambling was harming you, we strongly encourage you to speak to GamCare (0808 8020 133) before playing.

Why don't you list bet365, William Hill or Sky Bet?

Those are UK Gambling Commission–licensed operators connected to GamStop. This site focuses specifically on the offshore / non-GamStop niche, so we only list operators licensed outside the UK.

Are my deposits safe at offshore casinos?

Reputable offshore casinos licensed in Curaçao or Anjouan are generally safe to deposit at, but there is no UK protection if something goes wrong. We only list operators with a verifiable licence and a record of paying out, and we flag any concerns in each review.

Can I pay by credit card?

UK-licensed sites have banned credit-card gambling since 14 April 2020. Offshore sites are not bound by that rule and some accept credit cards, but we recommend never gambling with borrowed money. Use a debit card, e-wallet or crypto instead.

Do offshore casinos require ID verification (KYC)?

Many ask for less ID upfront than UK sites, and some crypto casinos let you play with no KYC at all. However, almost all will request ID before a large withdrawal, so be prepared to verify your identity eventually.
