Who We Are
We are an independent editorial team focused on reviewing offshore bookmakers not connected to GamStop. Our writers have covered UK betting markets for over a decade. We are not affiliated with any single bookmaker or operator group.
Our Mission
We help UK adults who have self-excluded via GamStop find legitimate offshore alternatives. We present factual, balanced information so you can make informed decisions. We do not pressure you toward any particular site.
What We Review
We assess over 50 non-GamStop bookmakers every year across multiple criteria. Each review follows the same structured methodology, applied consistently. You get comparable data, not cherry-picked highlights.
Our Review Methodology
Licensing Verification
Every bookmaker we review must hold a verifiable licence from a recognised authority. We check for MGA (Malta Gaming Authority), Curacao eGaming, and Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission credentials. If a licence cannot be confirmed, the site is excluded from our index.
Bonus Fairness
We read the full terms of every welcome offer before publishing. We flag wagering requirements above 35x as unfair to you. We also note time limits, game restrictions, and maximum withdrawal caps tied to bonuses.
Withdrawal Speed
We record actual processing times reported by verified users and our own testing. E-wallet withdrawals should clear within 24 hours at a reputable site. We note any bookmaker that routinely delays payouts beyond 5 business days.
Customer Support Quality
We contact each bookmaker’s support team via live chat and email before publishing. We measure response times and assess the accuracy of answers given. Sites with no live chat or response times over 24 hours are rated lower.
Responsible Gambling Tools
We check whether each non-GamStop site offers its own deposit limits, session timers, and self-exclusion options. These tools matter even when a bookmaker sits outside the GamStop network. Sites lacking basic responsible gambling features receive a clear warning in our reviews.
Our Editorial Standards
We update every review at least once per quarter to reflect current terms. We do not accept payment to alter ratings or suppress negative findings. If a bookmaker’s licence lapses, we remove or flag the listing within 48 hours.
Responsible Gambling Disclaimer
This website does not encourage you to bypass GamStop or break your self-exclusion commitment. GamStop exists to protect you, and we respect that purpose fully. If you are struggling with gambling, please seek support before using any offshore site.
