How We Rank Non GamStop Casinos
Our board leads with what it costs to get started and how much play a bonus demands. This page explains where the order and the figures come from.
Where the list comes from
We start from our lineup of offshore casinos that accept players from Great Britain. Any operator without a published welcome bonus is removed, because a row with nothing to show is not useful to a reader. What remains is ordered by the lineup position.
That order reflects two things: the strength of the welcome terms and our commercial arrangements with the operators. We say this plainly because the order is not the result of independent testing, and we would rather you knew that than assumed it.
What each row shows
- Minimum deposit: the smallest payment that triggers the welcome offer.
- Wagering: the multiplier the operator applies to the bonus. Where a casino publishes two figures that disagree, we show the higher one and explain why on the page.
- Welcome offer: the headline package as the operator states it, including how many deposits it is spread across.
- One extra: the most useful ongoing perk, such as cashback, a reload or no-deposit spins.
How we judge a bonus
We care about how much play a bonus needs, not how large it looks. A smaller match at a light multiplier usually leaves a player with withdrawable money sooner than a huge match at a heavy one, so the reviews weigh wagering, maximum bet, expiry and maximum conversion clauses ahead of the headline figure.
What we leave out
We publish no ratings, scores or stars, and no payout times we have not measured. A number with nothing behind it would be decoration. We also do not claim that commission plays no part in the order, because on a lineup-ordered board that would not be true.
How often figures are checked
Figures are checked against the operators' current offers each time the page is updated, and the date beside the author's name on the homepage shows when that last happened. If you see something different on a casino's own site, the operator's terms are the ones that apply, and we would like to hear about it through the contact page.
