This site exists to give you clear, factual information about offshore bookmakers. We focus specifically on betting sites not on GamStop. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions, not to push you toward any single operator.
Our Mission
We help UK adults who have self-excluded via GamStop find legitimate offshore alternatives. Every bookmaker we cover holds a recognised licence from a credible authority. We present facts, not sales pitches.
You deserve honest information about where you can bet legally outside the UKGC framework. We do not receive commissions that influence our ratings. Our editorial independence is non-negotiable.
Who We Are
Our team includes experienced betting analysts and compliance researchers based in the UK. We have no ownership stake in any bookmaker we review. You get assessments written by people who understand the industry from the inside.
We review more than 50 non-GamStop bookmakers every year. Each review is updated when terms, licences, or withdrawal policies change. You will always find current, accurate data on this site.
How We Review Non-GamStop Bookmakers
Our review process follows a strict, repeatable methodology. We apply the same criteria to every site we assess. Nothing is skipped to favour a particular operator.
Licensing Check
A valid licence is the first thing we verify before publishing any review. We accept licences from the Malta Gaming Authority, the Curacao eGaming authority, and the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission. If a site cannot show a current licence, it does not appear on our pages.
Bonus Fairness
We read every line of bonus terms before scoring a promotion. We flag wagering requirements above 35x as unfair to you. We also check maximum bet limits and game contribution percentages.
Withdrawal Speed
We test or verify reported withdrawal times for each bookmaker we cover. A site that takes longer than five business days for standard e-wallet payouts receives a lower score. We note minimum and maximum withdrawal limits in every review.
Customer Support
We contact support teams directly to test response times and accuracy. We check whether live chat, email, and telephone options are available. A bookmaker that takes over 24 hours to respond via email is flagged accordingly.
Responsible Gambling Tools
We assess what tools each offshore site offers independently of GamStop. These include deposit limits, session timers, self-exclusion options, and reality checks. A site with fewer than three of these tools receives a reduced responsible gambling score.
Our Rating Scale
- 5 out of 5: Fully licensed, fast withdrawals under 24 hours, wagering under 30x, full responsible gambling suite.
- 4 out of 5: Licensed, withdrawals within 48 hours, wagering between 30x and 40x, most responsible gambling tools present.
- 3 out of 5: Licensed, withdrawals within five days, wagering up to 50x, basic responsible gambling tools only.
- 2 out of 5: Licence present but minor compliance concerns, slow withdrawals, limited player protections.
- 1 out of 5: Significant red flags in terms, support, or licensing. We publish these reviews as warnings.
What We Do Not Do
We do not list unlicensed bookmakers under any circumstances. We do not accept payment to improve a bookmaker’s rating. You will not find hidden affiliate arrangements influencing our content.
