Who We Are
This site is run by an independent editorial team based in the UK. We are not affiliated with any bookmaker, payment provider, or gambling group. Our only interest is giving you accurate, unbiased information.
We review more than 50 non-GamStop bookmakers every year. Each review is written by a researcher who has tested the site with a real account. No review is published without a full licensing check.
Our Mission
Our mission is straightforward: to help UK bettors who have self-excluded via GamStop find legitimate offshore alternatives. We focus on sites that hold recognised licences and offer fair terms. We do not promote any single bookmaker above others.
You deserve clear facts, not marketing copy. Every page on this site is written to inform, not to sell. We flag red flags just as readily as we highlight strengths.
How We Review Non-GamStop Bookmakers
Every review follows the same five-step methodology. This keeps our assessments consistent and comparable across all sites. Below is exactly what we check.
Licensing Verification
Licensing is the first filter we apply to every non-GamStop bookmaker. We only cover sites licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), the Curacao Gaming Control Board, or the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission. A site without one of these licences does not appear on this platform.
Bonus Fairness Assessment
Bonus terms are examined in full before any score is assigned. We look at wagering requirements, minimum odds restrictions, and withdrawal caps. A welcome offer with a 40x wagering requirement is rated lower than one with a 20x requirement, for example.
Withdrawal Speed Testing
Withdrawal speed is tested using real accounts during the review process. We record the time from request to funds received, across at least two payment methods. Sites that process e-wallet withdrawals within 24 hours score higher than those taking 5 or more days.
Customer Support Quality
Customer support is contacted via live chat and email during each review. We measure response time and the accuracy of answers given. A support team that resolves a query in under 3 minutes scores better than one that takes 48 hours.
Responsible Gambling Tools
Responsible gambling tools are assessed even on sites outside the UKGC framework. We check for deposit limits, session timers, self-exclusion options, and reality checks. Sites that offer all four tools receive a higher overall rating than those offering only one.
Our Editorial Independence
This site earns revenue through affiliate referral links. However, affiliate relationships do not influence our ratings or written assessments. A bookmaker that pays a higher commission does not receive a better review score.
Our scoring rubric is applied identically to every site we assess. You can read the full scoring criteria on our methodology page. No bookmaker can pay to alter a published review.
