Who We Are
We are an independent editorial team focused on reviewing offshore bookmakers. Our writers are not affiliated with any single betting operator. You get unbiased information, not sponsored recommendations.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help UK bettors who have self-excluded via GamStop find legitimate offshore alternatives. We focus on bookmakers that hold recognised licences and offer fair terms. You deserve clear, honest information before you place a single pound.
What We Review
We assess more than 50 non-GamStop bookmakers every year. Each review covers licensing, bonus fairness, withdrawal speed, customer support, and responsible gambling tools. You will always find specific details, not vague summaries.
Our Review Methodology
Licensing Checks
Every bookmaker we review must hold a valid licence from a recognised authority. We check for Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), Curacao eGaming, and Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission credentials. Unlicensed operators are excluded from our listings entirely.
Bonus Fairness
We read the full terms of every welcome offer before writing a single word. We flag wagering requirements above 35x as unfair to you. We also check for game restrictions, time limits, and maximum withdrawal caps on bonus funds.
Withdrawal Speed
We record actual processing times, not the figures quoted in marketing copy. A bookmaker that claims 24-hour withdrawals but takes five days is flagged clearly. You need accurate timelines to manage your funds properly.
Customer Support
We test live chat, email, and telephone support on each platform we review. Response times and the quality of answers are both recorded. A bookmaker with slow or unhelpful support receives a lower overall score from us.
Responsible Gambling Tools
Offshore bookmakers are not connected to GamStop, but many still offer their own responsible gambling tools. We check for deposit limits, session timers, self-exclusion options, and reality checks on every site. A bookmaker with no such tools is rated lower, regardless of its other qualities.
Our Editorial Independence
We do not accept payment from bookmakers in exchange for positive reviews. Our revenue comes from clearly labelled affiliate links, which never influence our scores. You can trust that every rating reflects our honest assessment.
Responsible Gambling Disclaimer
This website does not encourage you to bypass GamStop or to ignore your self-exclusion decision. GamStop exists to protect people, and we respect that purpose fully. If you are struggling with gambling, please seek support before using any offshore bookmaker.
