Terms and Conditions | Non Gamstop Casinos

These terms set out how you may use Non Gamstop Casinos at pugin.com, what our reviews and rankings of new casinos not on GamStop actually claim, and where responsibility sits between us, you and the operators we write about. They apply every time you read a page, follow a link or use one of our comparison tables. If you disagree with any part of them, the sensible course is to stop using the site.

Last reviewed: 23 September 2026. Editorial responsibility for this page sits with Anthony Fairclough.

Who may use this site

pugin.com is written for adults aged 18 or over who are legally permitted to gamble where they live. Nothing here is aimed at under-18s, and we do not knowingly publish content for them.

Age. You confirm you are 18 or older when you use the site or follow any link to an operator.
Location. Our editorial perspective is British, using pounds sterling and UK conventions. Online gambling law differs by country, and in some places it is restricted or prohibited. Checking your own jurisdiction is your responsibility, not ours.
Self-exclusion. If you are registered with GAMSTOP, that scheme covers operators licensed by the Great Britain Gambling Commission. It does not reach offshore sites. If you signed up to GAMSTOP because gambling was causing you harm, this site is not for you — please read our responsible gambling guidance instead.
Blocking software. If you use gambling blocking software or bank-level gambling blocks, do not attempt to circumvent them to reach the operators listed here.

Information only — we are not a gambling operator

Non Gamstop Casinos is a publisher. We do not accept deposits, hold funds, run games, take bets, pay winnings or operate a customer account of any kind. Every transaction you make happens directly with the casino or sportsbook you choose, under that operator's own terms, not ours.

That distinction matters when something goes wrong. If a withdrawal is delayed, a bonus is voided or an account is closed, the contract is between you and the operator. We can explain how complaints procedures usually work and what escalation routes an offshore licence may offer, but we have no authority to release funds, reverse a decision or compel any operator to act.

How commercial relationships work here

We should be plain about this before you read any ranking. Non Gamstop Casinos earns commission when a reader follows a link to an operator and registers or deposits. That is how the site pays for itself, and it applies to most of the casinos listed on our pages.

Commission does not buy a position. Our order and editorial scores are set by the research process described below, and a brand paying a higher rate does not move up because of it. What commercial arrangements do affect is coverage: we cannot list every casino in existence, so the pool we assess skews towards operators with affiliate programmes. Treat our lists as a researched selection, not a complete census of the market.

Editorial ratings on this site — including the 10.0 shown for Betmica and the 9.9 shown for Kikibet, Betninja, WinnerIsland, Zombillion and Smash Casino — are our own scores. They are not customer review averages, not independent audit results, and not a prediction of how any individual will be treated.

What our reviews of new casinos not on GamStop claim, and what they do not

Our assessments are desk research. We read published terms, check licensing statements, compare advertised payment options and record what operators say about withdrawal handling and game libraries. We do not deposit money, place bets or run test withdrawals, and no page on this site should be read as a report of first-hand play.

What we do claim	What we never claim
We researched the operator's published terms and licensing statements on a stated date	That any casino is completely safe or risk-free
The headline offer was advertised as shown when we checked	That a bonus will still be available, or unchanged, when you arrive
Advertised withdrawal timings and payment methods, described as advertised	That a withdrawal will be paid, or paid within any stated window
Our own editorial score, with its reasoning	That the score reflects verified player outcomes or customer surveys

Terms change without notice. An operator can revise wagering requirements, cut maximum bonus bets, restrict a country or withdraw an offer entirely between our last check and your visit. Always read the promotion terms on the operator's own site before you deposit. Where our page and the operator's page disagree, the operator's page governs your account.

Bonus terms you agree to check yourself

The welcome offers shown on our comparison pages are advertised headline figures. Every one of them carries conditions, and those conditions are set by the operator, not by us. Before accepting any promotion, read its terms for the following, because they decide whether the offer is worth anything to you:

Wagering requirements. The multiple of bonus (or bonus plus deposit) you must stake before a withdrawal is possible. A 570% match up to £5,700 at Betmica, a 350% match up to £5,555 with 300 free spins at Kikibet, or a 1000% slots package up to €10,000 with 25% cashback at Rivo all look very different once the playthrough multiple is applied.
Game contribution. Slots commonly count fully towards wagering; blackjack, roulette, baccarat and live dealer tables often count at a reduced rate or not at all.
Maximum bonus bet. A per-spin or per-hand cap while bonus funds are active. Breaching it is one of the most common reasons a balance is voided.
Expiry dates. Bonus funds and free spins — such as the 100 free spins advertised by Betninja and WinnerIsland, or the 200 with Zombillion's package — usually expire within days.
Cashout limits. Winnings from a no-deposit bonus or free spins are frequently capped at a fixed amount regardless of what you win.
Currency. Several packages are advertised in euros or dollars — Smash Casino's 600% up to €10,000, Nightluck's €6,400 plus 280 free spins, WinnerIsland's €1,000, CoinPoker's 150% up to $2,000. If your account is not held in GBP, conversion applies on deposits, withdrawals and the value of the offer itself.
Minimum qualifying deposit and odds. Casino offers set a minimum deposit; sports free bets normally set minimum decimal odds, often around 1.50 to 2.00.

A bonus is never free money. It requires your own deposit and your own risk, and describing it otherwise would be inaccurate. If a page of ours ever reads that way, tell us through the contact page and we will correct it.

Payments, deposits and withdrawals are between you and the operator

We describe payment methods as operators advertise them — debit cards, bank transfers, e-wallets, prepaid vouchers and, at some sites, cryptocurrency. Availability for British customers varies, and it changes. UK card issuers and some e-wallets, including PayPal, may decline or block transactions to offshore gambling operators regardless of what the cashier page displays.

You accept that:

We cannot guarantee that any listed payment method will work for you, in GBP, on the day you try it.
Processing times, withdrawal limits, payment fees and currency conversion charges are the operator's and your payment provider's, and we receive nothing from them.
KYC identity verification and source-of-funds checks are standard. Expect to supply identification before a first withdrawal, and expect delays if documents are incomplete.
Any dispute over a delayed or refused withdrawal must be raised with the operator, then with its licensing body or approved dispute service if the operator offers one.

Licensing, regulation and the limits of protection

The Gambling Commission licenses operators serving Great Britain; Northern Ireland has its own separate legislation, so "UK" and "Great Britain" are not interchangeable when discussing regulatory scope. Sites described as not on GamStop generally hold overseas licences — Curaçao is the most common — rather than a Commission licence.

Accepting British customers is not the same thing as being authorised to serve them. Where an operator holds no Great Britain licence, you do not have the consumer protections attached to that regime: no GAMSTOP coverage, no Commission complaints route, and no access to the Commission's approved alternative dispute resolution providers. Deposit and loss limits, self-exclusion tools and affordability checks may exist, but they are set voluntarily by the operator under its own licence conditions.

Nothing on this site is legal, financial or tax advice. We publish research to help you compare terms; the decision, and its consequences, are yours. Our fuller explanation of how these licences differ sits on the non GamStop casinos comparison page.

Beyond the casino: sportsbooks and other product lines

Most of the operators we cover run more than a casino. Several pair slots, progressive jackpots and live dealer rooms with a sportsbook offering pre-match and in-play markets, accumulators, bet builders, cash-out and esports. CoinPoker's listing reflects a poker-led product rather than a slots-led one. These lines usually share a single wallet, which has a practical consequence for bonus terms: casino wagering conditions and sportsbook free bet conditions differ, and funds moved between them may be treated differently. Where our pages discuss a sportsbook, the same disclaimers in these terms apply — we describe advertised markets and offers, we do not verify settlement or pricing.

Use of our content

Text, tables, ratings and page structure on pugin.com belong to Non Gamstop Casinos unless stated otherwise, and may not be republished or scraped for commercial use without written permission.
You may quote short extracts with clear attribution and a link to the source page.
Operator names, logos and trade marks belong to their owners and appear here for identification only. Their inclusion does not imply any partnership beyond the affiliate arrangements disclosed above.
You agree not to interfere with the site's operation, submit automated requests at volume, or post unlawful or defamatory material through any feedback channel.

Liability

We take reasonable care to keep the site accurate and date our findings, but we provide it on an "as is" basis. To the extent permitted by law, Non Gamstop Casinos is not liable for gambling losses, for bonus funds voided under operator terms, for withdrawals delayed or refused, for third-party site content or availability, or for decisions taken in reliance on information that an operator has since changed. Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Gambling harm and support

Gambling is entertainment with a cost attached. It is not income, and it is not a way out of financial difficulty. If it stops feeling like a choice, free and confidential help is available in Great Britain from GamCare and the National Gambling Helpline, and GAMSTOP offers self-exclusion from Commission-licensed sites for six months, one year or five years. Bank gambling blocks and blocking software add a further layer. Our responsible gambling page sets out these options in more detail.

Changes, governing law and contact

We may update these terms as the site, the market or the law changes, and the revised version applies from the date it is published at the top of this page. Continuing to use pugin.com after a change means you accept it. These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Questions about this page, a correction to a review, or a request about how we handle a listing can go through our contact form. Background on who writes here and how the site is funded is set out in About Us. We read everything, including complaints about our own coverage.
