Non Gamstop operators provide more freedom of choice for players, higher casino bonuses of up to 400% or more and online slots with unrestricted features, such as Autoplay, Quickspin and Bonus Buy. They may be run by independent entities with no license from a central regulator, or licensed by other jurisdictions, such as the Curacao gambling authority. Such casino sites are mostly regulated in offshore locations. The Gambling Commission is very strict, this is why Gamstop-regulated casinos have many restrictions when it comes to the games offered, the availability of certain slot features or the size of their bonuses.Ĭonversely, non Gamstop casinos are online gambling hubs wich are not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, so they operate without such restrictions. If an online casino is licensed by the UKGC it is required to participate in Gamstop. Gamstop is a self-exclusion scheme for UK-based players.
