Terms and Conditions | Non Gamstop Casinos

These terms set out the rules for using Non Gamstop Casinos at augustinefriends.co.uk, what our reviews and rankings of gambling sites not on GamStop are and are not, and what you are responsible for when you follow a link from this site to an operator. Reading them takes a few minutes and will save you from the two most common misunderstandings: that a ranking is an endorsement, and that an advertised bonus is the same as the bonus you will actually receive. Last reviewed 26 September 2026.

By browsing, searching or clicking any outbound link on this site, you accept the terms below. If you do not accept them, please stop using the site.

Who may use this site

This site is intended for adults aged 18 or over who are legally permitted to gamble where they live. We write primarily for readers in Great Britain, but we do not verify the age, location or self-exclusion status of anyone who visits. That check is yours to make, and the operator's.

You must be 18 or over. Content here is not directed at under-18s.
If you are registered with GAMSTOP, that registration blocks accounts at operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission for the exclusion period you chose — six months, one year or five years. It does not technically block accounts at offshore sites. Choosing to open one during an active exclusion works against the reason you signed up. Our responsible gambling page explains blocking software, deposit limits and where to get free support.
You are responsible for knowing whether gambling is lawful in your own jurisdiction, and for any tax position that applies to you.
Do not use this site if you are excluding yourself from gambling, are in financial difficulty, or are using gambling to recover losses. Gambling is not income and cannot solve a money problem.

How we make money, and what that does not buy

Non Gamstop Casinos is a free-to-read site funded by affiliate commission. When you click through to an operator and open an account, we may be paid by that operator. You pay nothing extra, and no commission arrangement is disclosed to you as a price.

Commercial relationships do not decide position. Our rankings are set editorially, on published terms, licence information, payment options, game range, withdrawal conditions and support quality as we can verify them. A brand that pays more does not move up; a brand that pays nothing can still be listed. Where a page recommends a paid or commissioned option, this disclosure applies to it. If we cannot verify a claim, we say so rather than repeating operator advertising as fact.

Editorial ratings on this site — the scores you see beside each brand — are our own assessment. They are not customer review scores, not audited safety certifications, and not a prediction of your experience.

What our reviews are, and their limits

Everything here is research and comparison. We read terms and conditions, check licence registers and payment pages, and compare what operators publish. We have not deposited, wagered or withdrawn at these sites, and we make no claim to have tested payout speeds. Advertised withdrawal times are advertised times.

Information changes. Bonus percentages, wagering multiples, minimum deposits, country restrictions and accepted payment methods can change without notice. The operator's own terms at the moment you register always override anything written here.
No guarantee of safety or outcome. We will never describe an operator as completely safe, and we cannot guarantee that a withdrawal will be paid, a bonus honoured, or a dispute resolved in your favour.
No advice. Nothing on this site is legal, financial or tax advice.
Errors. If you find something inaccurate or out of date, tell us through the contact page and we will check it.

Bonus terms: what you must read before you accept

Every offer shown on this site is the operator's headline figure. The material conditions sit in the operator's bonus terms, and they are where the real value is decided. Check these before you opt in:

Wagering requirement. A 40x requirement on a £100 bonus means £4,000 of qualifying bets before a withdrawal. Confirm whether it applies to the bonus alone or deposit plus bonus — the latter doubles the work.
Game contribution. Slots usually count 100%. Roulette, blackjack and baccarat often count 10% or less, and live dealer tables are sometimes excluded entirely.
Maximum bonus bet. A cap of around £5 per spin or hand is common. Exceed it once and the bonus and winnings can be voided.
Expiry. Bonus funds and free spins usually expire in days, not months. Unused spins vanish at the deadline.
Cashout limit. Many welcome packages cap what you can withdraw from bonus winnings — a multiple of the bonus, or a flat figure. This matters more than the headline percentage.
Minimum deposit and currency. Some packages are quoted in euros or dollars. If your account is not in GBP, conversion applies on the way in and the way out.

The listed operators and what each write-up means

Below is context for the brands we rank highest. Inclusion means we consider the offer worth comparing, not that we vouch for the operator.

Betmica — top-ranked, and the largest headline package

Betmica sits first because its welcome offer — 570% up to £5,700 plus 270 free spins — is quoted in pounds, which removes the currency conversion question for British readers, and because it pairs a very large match with a substantial spin allocation rather than a token one. The offer is tiered across deposits in most structures of this size, so the full £5,700 is a ceiling, not a first-deposit figure. Limitation: a match of this scale almost always carries a high wagering multiple and a maximum bonus bet cap, and the larger the bonus the longer the playthrough takes before anything becomes withdrawable. Read the playthrough and cashout cap before the percentage.

Kikibet — a large match with a spin package attached

Kikibet offers 350% up to £5,555 and 300 free spins. The lower match percentage against a similar ceiling implies larger qualifying deposits to reach the top tier, which suits a reader who was going to deposit meaningfully anyway and suits nobody depositing the minimum. The 300-spin allocation is among the larger ones listed here. Limitation: free spin packages are frequently drip-fed over several days on named slots, with their own separate wagering on winnings, so the headline count overstates what is available on day one.

Betninja — the modest, more readable offer

Betninja advertises £1,000 and 100 free spins to all new players. It is on this page precisely because it is the smallest headline figure in the top group: a £1,000 cap with 100 spins is far easier to clear than a five-figure package, and the sterling denomination keeps the arithmetic simple. Limitation: the "all new players" framing still depends on eligibility rules, minimum qualifying deposit and excluded payment methods, and a smaller bonus can still carry a restrictive cashout limit. Verify the minimum deposit before assuming the full amount is reachable.

WinnerIsland — euro-denominated, worth the conversion check

WinnerIsland's welcome bonus runs up to €1,000 with 100 free spins. It earns a place for a balanced structure at a sensible ceiling. Limitation: the euro denomination is the point to watch. If the account is held in euros, every deposit and withdrawal may attract a conversion spread from your card issuer or e-wallet as well as any operator margin, and the sterling value of the cap moves with the exchange rate.

Money: what it costs you and how you get paid

Using augustinefriends.co.uk costs nothing. Everything financial happens at the operator, under their terms, not ours. In general terms for readers in Great Britain:

Deposits. Debit cards are widely accepted; credit cards are prohibited for gambling in Great Britain at licensed operators and many offshore sites decline them too. Bank transfers, e-wallets, prepaid vouchers and cryptocurrency appear at various sites. PayPal is uncommon outside the UK-licensed market — verify availability on the cashier page rather than assuming.
Fees and conversion. Operators may or may not charge a deposit or withdrawal fee. Your bank or card issuer may apply its own charge or a non-sterling transaction fee where the account is held in euros or dollars.
Withdrawals. E-wallets and crypto are typically quicker than card or bank transfer, but processing time depends on the operator's review queue and on verification being complete. Weekly or monthly withdrawal ceilings are common and are often lower than the advertised bonus cap.
Verification. Expect KYC — photo ID, proof of address, proof of payment method — and, for larger balances, source-of-funds checks. Documents requested at withdrawal rather than at signup is normal practice, though it delays payment.

We are not party to your account, cannot chase a payment, and cannot intervene in a withdrawal dispute. Raise it with the operator's complaints procedure first, then with whatever alternative dispute resolution body their licence requires.

What you will find at the sites we list

The brands on this page are predominantly casino-led. The catalogue typically breaks down into slots, including progressive jackpot titles; table games such as blackjack, roulette and baccarat; live dealer rooms streamed with human croupiers; and, at some sites, poker. CoinPoker is the clear outlier in this group, built around poker rather than reels. Return to player and volatility are published per game by the studio, not by us — check the game's information panel, because the same title can be deployed at different RTP settings. Mobile play is browser-based at most of these operators rather than requiring a download.

Sportsbooks running alongside the casino

Several operators in this market run a sportsbook on the same account and, usually, a shared wallet with the casino. That matters for bonuses: casino wagering and sports wagering are normally kept separate, and a casino bonus balance generally cannot be staked on football. Sportsbook features to compare are pre-match and in-play markets, esports coverage, accumulators, bet builders and cash-out. Sports free bets carry their own conditions — most commonly a minimum qualifying odds requirement around 1.50 to 2.00 in decimal terms, and stake-not-returned settlement, so a £10 free bet at 2.00 returns £10, not £20. Our main comparison of non GamStop casinos covers which brands pair a sportsbook with the casino.

Licensing, regulation and what protection you actually have

This is the part readers most often get wrong. Accepting British customers is not the same as being authorised to serve them.

The UK Gambling Commission licenses operators for Great Britain — England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland has its own separate gambling legislation, so "UK-wide" is rarely accurate.
Sites not on GAMSTOP hold overseas licences instead, commonly from Curaçao or another non-British regulator. Those regimes have their own standards, and they differ from the Commission's on complaint handling, dispute resolution and mandatory affordability checks.
Consequences that follow: no GAMSTOP linkage, no UK deposit limit framework, and no recourse to a Commission-approved ADR scheme. Your protection is whatever the overseas licence provides.
Ownership matters. Several brands often sit under one company, sharing terms, payment processors and support teams. A problem at one can indicate how the group operates.
Any trademarks or brand names mentioned belong to their owners. We use them for identification and comparison only, and we have no partnership beyond the affiliate relationships disclosed above.

Your conduct on this site, and our liability

The content on augustinefriends.co.uk — text, structure, comparisons and ratings — is ours and may not be republished or scraped for commercial use without written permission. Quoting a short passage with a credit and link is fine. You agree not to attempt to disrupt the site, misrepresent your age, or use our material to promote gambling to under-18s.

We link to third-party operators and to support organisations. We are not responsible for the content, terms or conduct of any external site. To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for losses arising from gambling at an operator you found through this site. Your decision to register, deposit and stake is yours alone.

We may update these terms as the site and the market change. The revision date at the top of this page tells you when they were last reviewed. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised version. These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Common questions about these terms

Does a high editorial rating mean an operator is safe?

No. It means the offer and published terms compared well against the others we reviewed on the date shown. No operator is completely safe, and a rating is not a guarantee of payment or fair treatment.

Can you help me if a casino refuses my withdrawal?

We cannot act on your behalf or contact an operator about your account. Use the operator's formal complaints procedure, keep written records and screenshots, and then escalate to the dispute body named in their licensing terms. You can still tell us what happened via the contact form — it informs future reviews.

Is the bonus I see here the bonus I will get?

Treat it as the maximum advertised figure. Actual value depends on your deposit size, qualifying method, wagering multiple, game contribution, bet cap, expiry and cashout limit. Always open the operator's bonus terms before opting in.

I'm registered with GAMSTOP. Do these terms allow me to use the listed sites?

Our terms do not police that, but registering with GAMSTOP was a decision to stop, and offshore registration undermines it. Free, confidential help is available from GamCare on 0808 8020 133, 24 hours a day. Blocking software on your devices is a practical additional step.

Who writes and checks this site?

Editorial content is produced and reviewed by our team, with this page last checked by Richard Booth on 26 September 2026. More about our approach and how we assess operators is on the about page.

If something here needs fixing

Terms pages are rarely read closely, which is exactly why errors persist in them. If a clause here is unclear, or if an operator's offer no longer matches what we have published, send us the detail and we will verify it against the operator's current terms and correct the page. Before you register anywhere, read the bonus terms in full and set your deposit limit first — that order round is the one decision most readers say they wish they had made earlier.
