About Us

Betting Not On Gamstop (picaspets.co.uk) is an independent research site for adults in Great Britain and the wider UK who want to understand betting sites not on GamStop before they decide anything. We compare features, bonus terms, payments and protections, and we try to say plainly what is confirmed, what is bookmaker advertising and what remains unclear.

We do not claim these sites are risk-free. Most of what we write is about the trade-offs: what you gain, what you give up and what to check first.

What this site covers

Our focus is new and lesser-known online bookmakers that operate outside the GamStop scheme. Our guides and reviews explain:

• how sports betting sites work, including fractional odds such as 5/2 or 11/4, and common bet types like singles, accumulators, each-way and bet builders
• bonuses and their conditions, from welcome offers and free bets to cashback, odds boosts and loyalty rewards
• payments in pounds sterling, including cards, e-wallets, bank transfers and crypto where a site offers them
• sports markets such as football, horse racing, tennis, golf, darts, snooker, cricket, boxing and esports
• mobile betting, in-play betting, early cash-out and customer support

Casino-style products are covered separately in our non GamStop casinos guide.

What GamStop is, and why we explain it

GamStop is the free national self-exclusion service for gambling in Great Britain. Sites licensed by the UK Gambling Commission must take part. A bookmaker "not on GamStop" is generally licensed elsewhere, under an overseas gambling licence, and is not bound by the UK scheme.

This matters. Accepting British customers is not the same as being authorised by the UK Gambling Commission to serve them. Overseas licences differ in strictness, and the usual UK protections, including GamStop exclusion, may not apply. If you have excluded yourself, these sites are not a workaround we encourage. Please read our responsible gambling page first.

How we research and rank bookmakers

We have not placed bets, deposited money or withdrawn funds with these operators, and we do not say we have. Our work is desk research: reading the bookmaker's published terms, checking the licence details it states, comparing offers and payment pages, and noting where information is missing. Findings were last fact-checked on 1 October 2026, and offers can change without notice.

When we assess a bookmaker, we look at:

1. Licensing: which licence is stated and whether it can be verified with the issuing authority
2. Bonus terms: wagering requirements, minimum qualifying odds, expiry dates, maximum bet and cashout limits
3. Payments: GBP account availability, deposit methods, fees, currency conversion and withdrawal limits
4. Verification: identity and source-of-funds checks, and how withdrawal disputes are handled
5. Markets and tools: sports range, in-play, cash-out, mobile experience and deposit or loss limits
6. Support and complaints: contact options and the published complaints route

The scores shown beside each brand are our editorial ratings. They are not customer-review scores.

The bookmakers we list

Our current top list includes Tenobet, Trixino, Betninja, CoinPoker, smash, BetBluff, Emberbet, Rolletto, 7abet and Spartaza. Tenobet currently ranks first with an editorial rating of 10.0, followed by Trixino at 9.9 and Betninja at 9.7.

Many headline offers are advertised in euros or dollars, such as Tenobet's 300% sports package up to €3,000. Only some, like BetBluff's 100% up to £150 and 7abet's 300% up to £200, are in sterling. If your account is in pounds, you may face currency conversion costs, so check this before depositing.

Advertised percentages are not guaranteed value. Wagering requirements, expiry dates and cashout caps often decide whether a bonus is worth taking. Each offer's own terms are the only reliable source.

How we are funded

We may earn a commission if you sign up with a bookmaker through our links. That does not buy a higher position: commercial relationships do not decide rankings, and no operator can pay to change a rating. Commission does mean we have a financial interest, so weigh our comments with that in mind and read the terms yourself.

What we will never do

• call a betting site completely safe
• promise winnings or guarantee withdrawals
• present gambling as a way to earn income or fix money problems
• invent test results, payout times or customer scores

Support if gambling is causing harm

You must be 18 or over to bet. Tools such as deposit and loss limits, self-exclusion and gambling blocking software can help. GamCare offers free, confidential support on the National Gambling Helpline, 0808 8020 133, and GAMSTOP can be used to exclude yourself from UK-licensed sites. If betting feels out of control, stopping is a sound choice.

Corrections and contact

If you spot an out-of-date offer or an error, tell us through the contact page. You can also read our terms and conditions for how the site may be used.
