About Us

Betting Not On Gamstop is an independent research site for adults in Great Britain and the wider UK who want to understand betting sites not on GamStop before they sign up. This page explains what we publish, how we assess operators, how the site is funded and where our limits are.

What this site does and who it is for

We write reviews and guides on betting sites that are not part of GamStop, the UK's national self-exclusion scheme. Our focus is crypto-friendly operators, but we also cover the basics readers ask about: bonuses, wagering requirements, payments, withdrawals, sports markets and mobile betting.

Our readers range from experienced punters to people comparing bookies for the first time. We explain terms such as wagering, minimum qualifying odds and KYC checks in plain English, and we use fractional odds in examples (for instance, 5/1 means £1 staked returns £5 profit plus the £1 stake).

We are not a bookmaker, and you cannot bet or deposit through this site. We do not offer gambling advice as a way to make money. Betting is a paid leisure activity, and losses are the normal outcome for most people.

The regulatory picture we explain

The UK Gambling Commission regulates gambling for customers in Great Britain, and licensed operators must join GamStop. Sites not on GamStop generally hold overseas gambling licences instead. That matters for readers:

• An operator accepting British customers is not the same as being authorised by the UK Gambling Commission to serve them.
• Overseas licences differ in standards, and complaints routes may be weaker than those available with UK-licensed bookmakers.
• If you have registered with GamStop, using a site outside the scheme undermines the protection you chose. If that applies to you, please read our responsible gambling guidance first.

We do not state that any operator holds a particular licence unless we have verified it against the operator's own published details, and we advise readers to check this themselves.

How we research and rank operators

Our rankings come from desk research. We review operator websites, published terms and conditions, payment pages and licence statements. We have not claimed to have deposited, bet or withdrawn money with any operator, and our write-ups do not suggest otherwise. The factors we weigh are:

1. Licensing information: what the operator says it is licensed by, and whether it is clear and checkable.
2. Bonus terms: wagering requirements, maximum bonus bets, expiry dates, cashout limits and minimum qualifying odds.
3. Payments: whether GBP accounts, debit cards, e-wallets or cryptocurrency are listed, plus fees and currency conversion.
4. Withdrawals: stated processing times and limits, and the identity and source-of-funds checks described.
5. Sports coverage: football, horse racing, tennis, darts and other markets, plus live in-play betting and bet types.
6. Support and complaints: contact options and how disputes are handled.
7. Safer gambling tools: deposit and loss limits, self-exclusion and links to GamCare.

Our scores are editorial ratings. They are not customer review scores and should not be read as such. Advertised offers and speeds are the operator's claims, not our test results.

The operators we currently feature

The publisher supplies our ranked list. At the time of checking (1 October 2026), it includes Tenobet, smash, Betninja, CoinPoker, WinnerIsland, Gambiva, Gamble Gorilla, BetBluff, Rolletto and 7abet. Our editorial ratings run from 9.0 to 10.0.

A few points on how to read the list:

• Tenobet sits first on the editorial rating of 10.0. Its headline sports package is 300% up to €3,000. The limitation is plain: large percentage offers usually carry heavier wagering, so read the bonus terms before accepting.
• smash is ranked second at 9.8 with 250% up to €5,000. The offer is in euros, so British readers should check currency conversion and whether a GBP account is possible.
• Betninja offers €1,000 plus 100 free spins at 9.7. The free spins are a casino feature, so sports bettors should check how much of the package applies to betting.

Some offers are in pounds, such as Gamble Gorilla's 100% up to £100 with a £20 deposit. Others are in euros or dollars. We show the currency the operator advertises and do not convert it for you. A bonus is never free if you need to deposit to claim it.

How we make money

We may earn a commission if you sign up with an operator through a link on this site. This costs you nothing extra. Commission does not buy position, and operators cannot pay to raise a rating. The list order is based on our criteria and the data supplied. You can read more in our terms and conditions.

What we cannot tell you

Terms change often. Where we can, we date our findings, and this page was last fact-checked on 1 October 2026. Always check the current terms on the operator's own site. We cannot guarantee withdrawals, winnings or an operator's conduct, and we do not describe any betting site as completely safe.

If something on the site looks wrong or out of date, get in touch. If you also want casino games rather than sports, see our non GamStop casinos guide.

Support if gambling is causing harm

If betting is affecting your finances, mood or relationships, GamCare offers free, confidential support on 0808 8020 133. You can also use deposit and loss limits, self-exclusion, and gambling blocking software on your devices. Adults only: you must be 18 or over.
