Terms and Conditions | Non Gamstop Casinos

These terms and conditions set out the rules for using oftimeandthecity.com, what our reviews and top lists are (and are not), and where responsibility sits between us, the casino operators we write about, and you as a reader. By browsing the site you accept them. Last reviewed 23 September 2026.

In short: Non Gamstop Casinos is an independent information site for adults in Great Britain and the wider UK researching casinos that operate outside the GAMSTOP self-exclusion scheme. We publish research, not advice. We are not a gambling operator, we hold no gambling licence, and we cannot open, fund, verify or close an account on your behalf.

Who may use this site

You must be 18 or over. Nothing here is directed at under-18s.
You are responsible for checking whether online gambling is lawful where you are, and whether a given operator accepts customers from your country.
If you are registered with GAMSTOP, that registration blocks accounts with operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission for the exclusion period you chose — six months, one year or five years. Casinos licensed overseas sit outside that scheme's technical reach. We publish information about them; we do not encourage anyone to work around a self-exclusion they put in place for their own protection. If that describes you, please read our responsible gambling page before going further.
Do not use the site if you are currently using gambling blocking software, bank-level gambling blocks or a deposit limit as part of a break from gambling.

Commercial disclosure: how we are paid

Some links to casinos on this site are commercial. If you follow one, register and deposit, the publisher may receive a commission from the operator. That payment comes from the operator's marketing budget and does not change the price, bonus or terms you receive.

Commission does not buy a position. Payment status is not one of the factors used to order our top lists, and we keep operators in the lists even where no commercial arrangement exists. Editorial ratings — the scores shown on the offer cards — are our own assessment, not customer-review averages and not supplied by the brands.

What our rankings and ratings mean

Our ranked lists reflect desk research: published licence details, terms and conditions pages, cashier pages, game lobbies, help-centre documentation and public complaint records. We do not claim to have deposited, wagered or withdrawn at any operator we cover. Where we state a processing time or a bonus size, it is what the operator advertises, unless we say otherwise.

Ratings are editorial and comparative. A 9.7 is not a safety certificate. No casino can be described as completely safe, and we never guarantee that a withdrawal will be paid or a dispute resolved in your favour.

Offer terms are the operator's, not ours

Every bonus mentioned on this site is governed by the operator's own terms at the moment you claim it. Those terms change without notice to us. Always read the promotion page before depositing. The figures below are the headline offers as advertised; the conditions that decide whether a bonus is worth claiming are wagering requirements, game contribution, maximum bonus bets, expiry and cashout caps, and they are set by each operator.

Casino	Rank	Advertised welcome offer	Editorial rating
Betmica	1	570% up to £5,700 + 270 free spins	10.0
Kikibet	2	350% up to £5,555 + 300 free spins	9.9
Betninja	3	£1,000 bonus + 100 free spins for new players	9.9
WinnerIsland	4	Up to €1,000 + 100 free spins	9.8
Zombillion	5	250% up to £4,000 + 200 free spins	9.7
Smash Casino	6	600% up to €10,000 slots package	9.7
Nightluck	7	805%, €6,400 + 280 free spins	9.7
CoinPoker	8	150% up to $2,000	9.7
Rivo	9	1000% up to €10,000 + 25% cashback	9.6
Daytonaspin	10	255% up to £4,500 + 255 free spins	9.6

Betmica — top of our list, and the terms that qualify it

Betmica leads because its welcome structure is unusually transparent for a non GamStop casino: the percentage, the cap and the spin count are all stated up front rather than hidden behind a tiered ladder. That matters on a page about terms, because a stated cap is a term you can actually check. The advertised 570% up to £5,700 plus 270 free spins is a deposit-matched offer — you must fund the account with your own money to trigger it, it is not free credit, and the full £5,700 is only reachable at the top deposit tier.

Limitation: a match that large carries a proportionally large playthrough obligation, and headline packages of this type are commonly split across several deposits with separate expiry clocks. Read the maximum bonus bet clause before you spin — breaching it is the most common reason a bonus balance is voided.

Kikibet — sterling-friendly headline, mixed-currency detail

Kikibet is included because its advertised offer is quoted in pounds, which reduces the currency conversion guesswork British readers face elsewhere. Its 350% up to £5,555 with 300 free spins is a lower multiplier than the site leader, which usually means a shorter route to converting bonus funds — though only the operator's stated wagering figure confirms that.

Limitation: a GBP-denominated bonus does not guarantee a GBP account or GBP-denominated payment processing. Verify the cashier currency before depositing, or your bank may apply a conversion charge on the way in and out.

Betninja — a flat cash bonus rather than a percentage

Betninja earns its place for a different reason: the offer is expressed as a fixed £1,000 ceiling plus 100 free spins for all new players, which is simpler to evaluate than a four-figure percentage. Fixed-ceiling offers tend to suit smaller deposits, because you are not chasing a match you would never fund.

Limitation: "all new players" still means new, verified and eligible players — one account per person, household and device, and free spins usually restricted to named slots with their own win caps. A smaller headline also means less cushion if the wagering requirement is high.

WinnerIsland and Zombillion — the euro question

WinnerIsland's up to €1,000 plus 100 free spins is quoted in euros, so the sterling value you receive depends on the exchange rate applied at deposit. Zombillion's 250% up to £4,000 with 200 free spins is quoted in pounds. Neither is automatically better; the point for a terms page is that a euro-denominated cap is a moving target in GBP, and conversion costs are yours, not the operator's. The same reasoning applies to Smash Casino and Nightluck's euro packages, Rivo's euro-denominated cashback offer and CoinPoker's dollar figure.

Money, fees and the limits you agree to

Using this site costs nothing. Everything after that is between you and the operator. Read their payments and withdrawals terms as carefully as their bonus terms, because that is where the binding numbers sit.

Minimum deposits — set per operator and sometimes per method. A minimum deposit that is lower than the amount needed to qualify for the welcome bonus is a common trap.
Debit cards and bank transfers — availability for UK customers varies by operator and by issuing bank. Some UK banks decline gambling transactions to overseas merchants outright. Credit card gambling is prohibited for UK-licensed operators; offshore sites may accept it, but your card issuer may treat it as a cash advance.
E-wallets — Skrill, Neteller, Paysafe-type vouchers and similar are offered by some sites and not others. PayPal is rarely available at casinos outside the UK licensing regime; never assume it is there, check the cashier.
Cryptocurrency — accepted by several offshore operators. Transfers are usually fast but irreversible, and the value of your balance can move before you withdraw.
Fees and conversion — operators may charge withdrawal fees, and your bank or wallet may add a conversion margin where the account is not in sterling. Both reduce what you actually receive.
Withdrawal limits and timings — daily, weekly and monthly caps are normal, as are pending periods. Advertised processing times are marketing claims until you have been paid; we report them as advertised and do not present them as tested.
KYC and source of funds — expect to supply identity and address documents, and for larger sums, evidence of where the money came from. Verification is a condition of payment at almost every operator, and delays here are the single most frequent cause of withdrawal disputes.

What these casinos actually offer

We describe product ranges only as far as we can verify them from operators' own lobbies and documentation. We publish no catalogue counts we cannot support. Broadly, the sites on our lists cover:

Slots — the bulk of most lobbies, spanning low and high volatility titles with published RTP figures from the software providers rather than the casino.
Progressive jackpots — pooled prize games where the jackpot term, including qualifying stake, is set by the provider.
Table games — blackjack, roulette and baccarat in digital form, typically contributing far less than slots toward wagering requirements, sometimes nothing at all.
Live dealer rooms — streamed blackjack, roulette and baccarat tables, commonly excluded from bonus play entirely.
Mobile play — browser-based at most offshore sites; app availability varies.

Our ranked overview of non GamStop casinos explains how these categories differ site by site.

Sportsbooks and other product lines

Several operators on our lists run a sportsbook alongside the casino, and some, such as CoinPoker, are built around poker rather than slots. Where a sportsbook exists, treat it as a separate rulebook: pre-match and in-play markets, esports, accumulators, bet builders and cash-out each carry their own settlement rules. Sports free bets normally impose minimum qualifying odds — 1.50 or higher is typical in decimal terms — and stake is not usually returned with winnings. Where the casino and sportsbook share a single wallet, casino bonus funds may be blocked from sports betting, or sports turnover may not count toward casino wagering. Check which applies before you move money between products.

Regulation, eligibility and what it means for you

The UK Gambling Commission licenses operators serving customers in Great Britain, and participation in GAMSTOP is a condition of those licences. Northern Ireland has its own separate gambling legislation, so "UK" and "Great Britain" are not interchangeable when discussing regulatory scope. The casinos covered on this site hold overseas licences — Curaçao and comparable jurisdictions are common — and accepting British customers is not the same thing as being authorised to serve them.

The practical consequences are yours to weigh. Outside the UK regime you do not have access to UK-recognised alternative dispute resolution, the Gambling Commission cannot act on your complaint, and affordability and advertising rules that apply to UK-licensed sites do not apply. Complaints go first to the operator's own procedure and then, if their licence provides for it, to the overseas regulator. We do not adjudicate disputes and cannot compel payment.

Ownership matters too: many brands are operated by the same parent company, which means a self-exclusion or account closure at one may or may not carry across to its siblings. Where ownership is published, we say so; where it is not, we say that instead.

Content accuracy and your use of this site

Information is published in good faith and reviewed periodically. Time-sensitive details — bonus terms, payment availability, licence status — can change between our review date and your visit.
We separate confirmed information, operator advertising and open questions in our writing. If something is unresolved, we say so rather than filling the gap.
Nothing on the site is financial, legal or tax advice. Gambling is not income and is not a way to address debt or financial pressure.
Content on oftimeandthecity.com is our copyright. You may quote short extracts with attribution; wholesale republishing is not permitted.
We are not responsible for the content, security or conduct of third-party sites we link to.
To the extent the law allows, our liability for losses arising from use of this site is excluded. Gambling losses are not recoverable from us.

Support, limits and taking a break

Deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders and account self-exclusion are offered by most operators, though the tools are generally less standardised offshore than under UK licensing. Bank-level gambling blocks and third-party blocking software work independently of any operator and are worth considering if you want a hard stop. GamCare provides free, confidential support in Great Britain through the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133, open 24 hours a day. GAMSTOP registration remains available at no cost and covers UK-licensed sites for your chosen exclusion period.

Changes, and how to reach us

We may update these terms as the site, the market or the law changes; the revision date at the top of this page shows when they were last reviewed. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised version.

If something here is unclear, or you believe a detail on the site is wrong or out of date, tell us through our contact page and we will look at it. Corrections from readers are one of the more reliable ways we catch changed bonus terms. You can also read more about who writes this site and how we research it on our about page.
