Terms and Conditions

These terms explain how downtheline.org.uk works, what our ratings do and don't mean, and what you agree to by using this site. By browsing Non Gamstop Casinos, you accept the terms set out below. If you don't agree with them, please don't continue to use the site.

What this site is and is not

Non Gamstop Casinos is an independent information and comparison resource covering betting sites not on GamStop and casinos not on GamStop. We publish reviews, comparisons and guides based on publicly available information about operators, their licensing, game ranges and promotional offers.

We do not operate a casino or betting site. We do not accept wagers, process deposits or withdrawals, or hold any player funds. Every transaction a reader makes happens directly between them and the operator they choose, under that operator's own terms. If you're new to this space, our page on non GamStop casinos compared is a good starting point before you read further.

Eligibility and local law

This site is intended for adults aged 18 or over. Nothing here should be read as encouragement to gamble, and nothing here overrides your own legal obligations in Great Britain or wherever you access the site from. Gambling laws and licensing regimes vary by jurisdiction, and it remains the reader's responsibility to check that using a particular site is permitted where they live before signing up or depositing.

Sites not on GamStop are typically licensed outside the UK, often in jurisdictions such as Curaçao, and operate outside the UK Gambling Commission's remit. That doesn't make them off-limits to UK adults, but it does mean the consumer protections attached to a UKGC licence — including GamStop itself — don't apply. We cover this distinction in more depth on our comparison page, and readers who have self-excluded should weigh it carefully before deciding how to proceed.

How we rate and rank operators

Our editorial ratings reflect research into each operator's game selection, payment options, promotional terms, licensing information and general usability. Ratings are not customer reviews, and they are not based on any wagering, deposits or withdrawals carried out by our team — we have not placed bets or played games ourselves at the sites we cover. Our assessments are drawn from information published by operators and from third-party licensing and regulatory sources.

Commercial relationships with operators, where they exist, do not buy placement or improve a rating. Where an operator appears higher in our comparisons, it reflects our editorial assessment, not the size of any commission arrangement.

Commercial disclosure

Non Gamstop Casinos may earn a commission when a reader clicks through to an operator and opens an account. This comes at no extra cost to the reader and has no bearing on the terms an operator offers. We disclose this openly because it's relevant to how the site sustains itself, and because transparency matters more to us than pretending the site has no commercial interest at all.

Bonuses, offers and headline figures

Welcome offers such as those shown on this site — for example, packages advertised in GBP, EUR or USD across the brands we list — are set and honoured entirely by the operator, not by us. Figures like deposit percentages, free spin counts and maximum bonus values are subject to change without notice, and each offer carries wagering requirements, time limits, minimum deposits and game restrictions that we cannot reproduce in full here. Always read the operator's own terms before opting in to any promotion.

We make reasonable efforts to keep offer details current, but operators can amend or withdraw promotions at any time. If a figure on this site no longer matches what an operator displays at checkout, the operator's current terms take precedence.

Accuracy and limitation of liability

We take reasonable care to keep content accurate as of the fact-check date shown on each page, but online gambling operators change their licensing, game libraries, payment methods and promotions frequently. We cannot guarantee that every detail remains current at the moment you read it, and we accept no liability for losses arising from a reader's decision to use, deposit at, or withdraw from any operator listed on this site.

Use of any operator's site is entirely at the reader's own risk and subject to that operator's own terms and conditions, which we do not control and cannot enforce.

Responsible gambling and self-exclusion

We take no position discouraging adults from choosing where to gamble, but we do encourage every reader to think carefully about their own gambling habits and to set limits that work for them. Readers who have previously self-excluded through GamStop, or who are considering doing so at a non-GamStop operator, can find practical guidance on our Responsible Gambling page, including how self-exclusion tools work at sites outside the GamStop scheme.

Intellectual property and permitted use

The text, comparisons, ratings and design on downtheline.org.uk belong to Non Gamstop Casinos unless otherwise credited. You may read, share and link to our pages, but you may not reproduce, republish or scrape our content for commercial use without permission.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes to our editorial process, the operators we cover, or legal requirements. The date shown at the top of this page indicates when it was last updated. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms.
