Guides for Players New to Non GamStop Casinos
If you have arrived here without much prior knowledge of how casinos outside the UK scheme operate, this is the section to start with. Each guide takes a single subject and works through it from the beginning, defining the terminology as it comes up rather than assuming you already recognise it.
We have put the payment guides at the top of the list on purpose. Deposits and withdrawals are where a recently opened operator behaves least like the sites most British players are used to, and where a misunderstanding tends to be expensive rather than merely annoying.
All Guides
A plain explanation of why new operators ask for cryptocurrency, what you actually have to do, and how it affects getting paid.
What operators mean by "instant", why your first payout is usually slower, and what to expect from each payment method.
What the UK self-exclusion scheme is, how registering works, and why it has no effect on operators licensed elsewhere.
Wagering, weighting, stake caps and withdrawal limits explained in plain language, with a worked example.
What a licence from outside the UK actually gives you, how regulators differ, and how to check a number for yourself.
Two questions that get confused: whether it is legal for you, and whether a given operator is safe. They have different answers.
Nothing in this section recommends a particular operator. These pages explain how the market works so that the entries in our launch record make sense when you read them, and each of those entries carries its own testing label.
