ℹ️ About Us

About NotOnGamCare.uk

We are an independent UK editorial team dedicated to helping players make informed decisions about gambling sites outside the GamCare network — with no paid placements, no sponsored rankings, and no undisclosed affiliations.

Our Mission

NotOnGamCare.uk exists to fill a genuine information gap in the UK gambling market. Many players — for reasons of personal choice, or because they have completed a GamStop exclusion period — seek information about offshore casino and betting sites that sit outside the GamCare-affiliated network. Until now, most available content on this topic was either produced by sites with undisclosed paid rankings, or lacked the depth and accuracy players deserve.

Our mission is simple: provide accurate, independently tested, clearly disclosed information so that adults can make their own informed choices about where they play online.

Who We Are

Our wider editorial team includes former customer support professionals, regulated gambling compliance consultants, and experienced UK sports bettors. All contributors are required to disclose any financial relationship with operators and are prohibited from accepting payment in exchange for favourable rankings.

Our Review Methodology

Every site featured on NotOnGamCare.uk is reviewed using a consistent, real-money testing framework. Here is exactly what we do before any operator appears in our guides:

  1. Licence verification — We independently verify the operator's licence on the Malta Gaming Authority register, Curaçao eGaming database, or Gibraltar Regulatory Authority portal.
  2. Real-money deposit — We create an account and deposit a minimum of £50 using common UK payment methods (Visa, Mastercard, or e-wallet).
  3. Bonus claim and wagering — Where applicable, we claim the welcome offer and record the real wagering experience, including any restrictions or unexpected terms.
  4. Withdrawal test — We request a withdrawal and document the exact processing time from submission to receipt.
  5. Customer support — We contact live chat and email support with a legitimate query and rate responsiveness, knowledge, and tone.
  6. Game selection audit — We audit the breadth of the game library, software providers represented, and mobile compatibility.
  7. Responsible gambling tools — We verify the presence and functionality of deposit limits, session controls, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion.

Sites are scored across these categories and ranked accordingly. Rankings are updated a minimum of twice per year, or immediately if a significant operator change is identified.

Editorial Independence & Disclosure

NotOnGamCare.uk operates on an affiliate revenue model. When a reader clicks a link to an operator site and registers an account, we may receive a commission from that operator. This is the standard model for independent review and comparison sites in the UK.

This commercial relationship never affects our rankings or review content. We apply the same methodology regardless of whether an operator has an affiliate arrangement with us. Operators cannot pay for inclusion, pay to improve their ranking, or pay to suppress negative findings. Our rankings reflect our genuine testing results.

Where a site has an affiliate arrangement with us, the relevant "Play" button will carry a rel="nofollow sponsored" attribute in the HTML source. We never present paid content as editorial content without clear labelling.

Responsible Gambling Commitment

We take our responsibility to promote safer gambling seriously. Every page on this site includes prominent responsible gambling information and links to free support services. We do not market to under-18s, do not use language that glamorises gambling losses, and do not feature operators that lack self-exclusion or deposit limit tools.

If gambling is negatively affecting your life or the life of someone you know, please contact the GamCare National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 (free, 24/7). You can also visit gamcare.org.uk or begambleaware.org.
