GamStop is the UK self exclusion scheme that connects to every casino licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. Players who self exclude through GamStop cannot open or use accounts at any UKGC licensed casino during their exclusion period. That is exactly what GamStop is designed for, a single switch that turns off access to every UK regulated gambling site at once.
A non GamStop casino is simply a casino that is licensed by a regulator outside the UK and therefore does not connect to the GamStop scheme. 50 Crowns is one such site, licensed for international play and accepting UK players who choose to play outside the GamStop framework. That is a legitimate choice, but it is not the right choice for everyone, and the rest of this page is built to help you decide whether it is the right choice for you.
Who non GamStop casinos suit
Non GamStop casinos suit players who travel, who hold accounts in multiple jurisdictions or who simply prefer the wider game catalogues and bonus structures that international sites tend to offer. They are not the right choice for players who are using GamStop because they need a hard limit on their gambling. If GamStop is helping you manage a difficult relationship with gambling, please respect that and stay within the scheme. The Get Help page on this site has links to GamCare, BeGambleAware and the National Gambling Helpline if you need support.
What 50 Crowns offers UK players
50 Crowns offers a wide game catalogue, English language support twenty four hours a day, GBP and EUR wallets, full card and e-wallet payment options and a strong responsible gambling toolkit built into the account area. Deposit limits, loss limits, session limits, reality checks and a self exclusion option all sit one tap away inside your profile. The site uses bank grade encryption, holds player funds separately from operating funds and audits every game through an independent test lab.
Picking a non GamStop casino
If you are evaluating non GamStop options, the four things to look for are a recognised gaming licence, English language support during the hours you play, GBP payment options and audited games. A site that ticks all four boxes is a serious operator. A site that misses any of them is one to walk away from. The community forums and review sites can give you a sense of how a site actually treats players, particularly around withdrawals, which is where the bad operators tend to show themselves.
What is a non GamStop casino?
A non GamStop casino is an online casino that is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and therefore does not connect to the GamStop self exclusion scheme. These sites are licensed by other regulators, most commonly the Malta Gaming Authority, Curacao eGaming or one of the other recognised international regulators. UK players are free to use non GamStop casinos, but they should only do so if they are not using GamStop to manage their gambling.
Is 50 Crowns a non GamStop casino?
Yes. 50 Crowns operates under an international gaming licence and accepts UK players outside of the GamStop scheme. The site supports GBP and EUR wallets, English language support twenty four hours a day and a full responsible gambling toolkit including deposit limits, session limits, reality checks and self exclusion. UK players who prefer to play inside the GamStop framework should instead use a casino licensed by the UK Gambling Commission.
What protections do I have at a non GamStop casino?
You have the protections that the local regulator requires the casino to provide. At 50 Crowns that includes audited fair games, encryption of your personal and payment data, segregated player funds, dispute resolution through the licensing authority and a full set of responsible gambling tools inside your account. You do not have the UK Gambling Commission's complaints process or the GamStop scheme, which is the trade off of choosing to play outside of UK regulation.
Can I use my UK bank card at a non GamStop casino?
UK Visa and Mastercard payments are accepted at 50 Crowns, though some UK banks block transactions to non UK licensed gambling sites by policy. If your card is rejected, the live chat team can talk you through alternative payment methods, including e-wallets like MiFinity and Jeton and the crypto rail covering Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. Crypto deposits and withdrawals are usually the fastest option for UK players who prefer not to use a card.
