Terms and Conditions

These terms explain how Non Gamstop Casinos works, what you can expect from the information on this site, and what responsibilities sit with you as a reader. By continuing to use publicsectorforums.co.uk, you accept the terms set out below. If anything here is unclear, you're welcome to get in touch via our Contact Us page before you rely on the content.

What this site is and isn't

publicsectorforums.co.uk is an independent information and comparison resource covering gambling sites not on GamStop, including casinos not on GamStop, slots not on GamStop, and betting sites not on GamStop. We publish reviews, rankings, guides and comparisons to help readers understand this corner of the market. We are not a gambling operator, we do not accept wagers, hold customer funds, or process bets ourselves. Every brand named on this site is a third-party operator, and any account you open, deposit you make, or bet you place is a contract between you and that operator alone — not between you and Non Gamstop Casinos.

How our rankings and reviews work

The brands featured on this site, including those such as Betmica, Kikibet, Betninja, WinnerIsland and others listed in our comparisons, are assessed against a consistent set of factors: licensing information as published by the operator, the range of games and betting markets on offer, payment methods, the clarity and fairness of bonus terms, and general usability. Editorial ratings shown on this site reflect our own research and judgement — they are not customer-review scores, and they are not a guarantee of any particular outcome if you play. Commercial partnerships do not decide where an operator sits in our rankings; a brand can pay to be listed and still receive an honest, critical write-up. For a fuller breakdown of our methodology and a side-by-side look at the market, see our Non GamStop Casinos: The Top Sites Rated and Compared page.

Commercial disclosure

Non Gamstop Casinos may earn commission when readers click through to, or sign up with, some of the operators featured on this site. This does not cost you anything extra, and it does not influence how we rank or describe an operator. Where an offer carries wagering requirements, minimum deposits, time limits or country restrictions, we try to note those conditions alongside the offer itself — but you should always confirm the current terms directly with the operator before you deposit, since bonus terms can change without notice on their end.

Accuracy of information

We take reasonable care to keep prices, bonus terms, game libraries, payment options and other details current as of {{ page.updated_at }}, but operators change their terms frequently, and we cannot guarantee that every detail on this site is accurate at the exact moment you read it. Before registering with any operator or accepting any offer, check the operator's own terms and conditions, as these will always take precedence over anything described here. We are not liable for losses arising from reliance on outdated or inaccurate information, or from decisions you make to gamble with any third party.

Eligibility and your responsibilities

This site, and the operators featured on it, are intended for adults aged 18 and over. Gambling laws and self-exclusion arrangements vary by jurisdiction, and it is your responsibility to check that using a given operator is permitted where you live and consistent with your own circumstances before you sign up. GamStop is the UK's national self-exclusion scheme for operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission; the operators listed on this site typically hold licences from other jurisdictions and are not connected to GamStop's database, which is why some readers use them after registering with GamStop. We publish this information neutrally, without suggesting that using a non-GamStop operator is against the law or that anyone should avoid doing so. If you have self-excluded because you were concerned about your gambling, please read our Responsible Gambling page before you consider any further gambling activity, as it sets out tools and support options worth knowing about first.

Payments, deposits and withdrawals

Any money you deposit, wager or withdraw is handled entirely by the third-party operator you choose, using whichever payment methods that operator supports — commonly cards, e-wallets, bank transfers, and in some cases cryptocurrency. Fees, processing times, minimum and maximum limits, and any verification checks are set by the operator, not by Non Gamstop Casinos, and can vary considerably between brands. We describe payment options where we've been able to verify them, but you should always confirm current limits and timeframes with the operator directly, particularly before making a first deposit or requesting a withdrawal.

Intellectual property

The text, layout, comparisons and original graphics on publicsectorforums.co.uk belong to Non Gamstop Casinos unless otherwise credited. Operator logos and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners and are used to identify the brands we review. You may link to our pages or quote short excerpts with attribution, but you may not reproduce substantial parts of this site elsewhere without permission.

Limitation of liability

Gambling carries financial risk, and outcomes at any operator are never guaranteed. Non Gamstop Casinos provides information and comparison content only; we do not control, and are not responsible for, the conduct, solvency, licensing status or customer service of any operator we feature. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site or your dealings with any third-party operator listed here.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in the operators we cover, the law, or how the site operates. The date shown at the top of this page reflects the version currently in effect. Continuing to use publicsectorforums.co.uk after an update means you accept the revised terms.
