The Gastropig guide reviews non-Gamstop gambling sites for UK players — casinos and bookmakers licensed offshore that accept people who have self-excluded via GamStop. It's a corner of the market with a wide gap between the sites that pay out and the ones that don't, and most of the pages ranking for it are thin or anonymous. We try to be the opposite: named writers, real testing, and figures you can check.
What we do differently
- We test with real money. Every site is funded, played and withdrawn from before it's ranked. Payout times come from our own cash-outs.
- We show the real cost of a bonus. Wagering is explained in plain pounds, not hidden behind a big percentage.
- We keep the warnings in. Low safety scores, withdrawal complaints and unverifiable offers are surfaced, not buried.
- We're honest about what these sites are. They're licensed abroad, not by the UK Gambling Commission, and you give up UKGC protection when you use one. We say so on every page.
Who writes it
Reviews are written and fact-checked by named people, not a content mill — meet the team on our authors page, and read exactly how we test on our review methodology page.
Gamble responsibly
We only cover gambling for adults who choose to do it. If you self-excluded through GamStop to stop, please keep that exclusion — see our responsible gambling page for free, confidential help.
