About Us

Non Gamstop Bets is an independent comparison resource built specifically for UK sports bettors who are registered with Gamstop and are looking for licensed offshore alternatives. This page explains who we are, how we work, and what you can expect from every piece of content on this site.

Who We Are

We are a small editorial team with a background in sports betting, odds analysis and consumer publishing. We set up Non Gamstop Bets because we recognised a genuine gap: there was plenty of advice on mainstream UKGC-regulated bookmakers, but very little honest, structured guidance on the offshore market for punters who had self-excluded via Gamstop and wanted to continue betting responsibly at sites operating under other reputable licences.

Everything published here is researched in-house. We do not accept paid placement — a brand's position in any ranking on this site reflects our editorial assessment, not a commercial arrangement. Where we earn commission through referral links, we say so clearly before the relevant content begins.

What We Cover and Why

The focus of this site is in-play sports betting at bookmakers that are not enrolled in the Gamstop self-exclusion scheme. That means sites licensed in other jurisdictions — most commonly Malta, Gibraltar, Curaçao or the Isle of Man — that are legally accessible to UK residents under current law.

Within that focus we cover:

• In-play and live betting markets across major sports
• Pre-match sports betting, including football, horse racing and more
• Bonuses, promotions and their material conditions
• Payment methods available to UK customers in GBP
• Licensing, player protection and responsible gambling tools offered by individual sites

We also publish a separate guide covering non Gamstop casino sites for readers interested in that side of the offshore market.

How We Research and Rank Sites

Every site we recommend has been reviewed against a consistent set of criteria. We do not claim to have deposited and withdrawn at every platform ourselves — we are transparent that our process is desk-based research and verification rather than live user testing. What we do assess is:

1. Licensing and regulatory standing — we check that the operator holds a valid licence from a recognised authority outside the UK Gambling Commission.
2. In-play betting depth — the number of markets available during a match, speed of odds updates, and whether cash-out and bet-builder features are available live.
3. Sports coverage — breadth of sports and leagues, with particular attention to football and horse racing, the two markets most commonly searched by our readers.
4. Bonus terms — we read the full terms of every welcome offer and flag wagering requirements, minimum odds, time limits and game restrictions beside the headline figure.
5. Payment options in GBP — availability of debit cards, e-wallets and other methods used by UK customers, plus withdrawal times and any fees.
6. Responsible gambling tools — deposit limits, session timers, self-exclusion options and links to support organisations, even where a site is not Gamstop-enrolled.

Commission does not buy position. Where a site ranks poorly on the criteria above, it does not appear on our recommended lists regardless of any commercial relationship.

Our Editorial Standards

We follow a straightforward set of rules that govern every page on this site:

• We never invent ratings, catalogue counts, licence numbers or offer terms. If a detail is unavailable, we write around it.
• Every recommendation includes at least one genuine limitation — including the sites we rank highest.
• Material conditions (wagering requirements, minimum deposits, eligibility restrictions) are placed beside the offer they qualify, not buried in footnotes.
• We do not reproduce brand marketing copy verbatim.
• Pages are reviewed and updated regularly. The date shown at the top of each page reflects when we last verified its content.

Commercial Disclosure

Non Gamstop Bets earns revenue through affiliate commissions when readers follow links to betting sites and register. This is how the site is funded. It does not influence editorial rankings or the content of any review. We are transparent about this relationship and place a short disclosure before any commercial content on the site.

Responsible Gambling

This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We take responsible gambling seriously. If you are finding it difficult to manage your betting, please visit our responsible gambling page for information on the support organisations available to you, including GamCare, BeGambleAware and GamAnon. Tools such as deposit limits and self-exclusion are available at individual operators even where those operators are not Gamstop members — we highlight this in every review we publish.

Get in Touch

We welcome feedback from readers — whether that is a question about a review, a correction you believe we should make, or a suggestion for a site we have not yet covered. You can reach us via our contact page and we aim to respond to all substantive enquiries within a reasonable timeframe.

If you have found an inaccuracy in any of our content, please flag it specifically — we take factual corrections seriously and will update the relevant page promptly.

Terms

Use of this site is subject to our terms and conditions, which set out the basis on which we publish information and the limits of our liability as a comparison and information service. Please read them before relying on anything published here for financial or legal decisions.
