Terms and Conditions | Non Gamstop Casinos

These terms set out the rules for using Non Gamstop Casinos at maiatheband.com: what this site is, what it is not, how our rankings of Curaçao casinos not on GamStop are produced, and where responsibility sits between us, you and the operators we write about. Reading them takes a few minutes and will save you from the two most common misunderstandings about comparison sites — that we run the casinos, and that the headline bonus you see here is the offer you will actually receive.

By browsing, using our comparison tables or following a link to an operator, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please stop using the site. Last reviewed 23 September 2026.

Who we are and what this site does

Non Gamstop Casinos is an independent publisher of research-based reviews and guides about online casinos that do not participate in the GamStop self-exclusion scheme. We are not a gambling operator. We do not hold player funds, accept deposits, take bets, issue bonuses, run promotions, process withdrawals or verify identity documents. Every one of those functions belongs to the casino you register with, under its own terms and its own licence.

That distinction matters because it decides who you complain to. If a withdrawal stalls, a bonus is voided or a document is rejected, the counterparty is the operator, not us. We can point you at complaint routes and explain how the process usually works — see the detail further down — but we have no authority over an operator's decisions about your account.

Commercial disclosure: how we are paid

We earn money through affiliate arrangements. When you follow a link from maiatheband.com to a casino and go on to open an account, the operator may pay us a commission. You pay nothing extra, and the offer you see is not altered by our involvement.

Commission does not buy a position in our lists, a higher editorial rating or the removal of criticism. Our ratings are editorial judgements made by our own team, not customer-review scores and not operator-supplied marks. Where an operator has a real weakness, we say so — including the brand sitting at the top of the table. Anything you read about our assessment method applies equally to partners and non-partners.

We also accept that our commercial model creates an obvious incentive, which is why we publish our reasoning rather than just a number. If you think a listing reads as an advert rather than an assessment, tell us through the contact page.

Age, eligibility and legal standing

This site is intended for adults aged 18 or over. Nothing here is directed at anyone under 18, and we ask under-18s not to use it.

Gambling in Great Britain is regulated by the Gambling Commission, which licenses operators serving British customers and requires those licensees to participate in GAMSTOP. Casinos covered on this site typically hold overseas licences instead — most commonly from Curaçao — and are not licensed by the Gambling Commission. Accepting registrations from British customers is not the same thing as being authorised to serve them. A Curaçao licence brings a different, generally lighter set of consumer protections: no Gambling Commission complaints route, no UK dispute-resolution service, and no obligation to honour a GAMSTOP registration.

Practical consequences you accept when you use these sites:

A GAMSTOP exclusion made in Great Britain will not block registration at a non-GamStop operator. If you are in an active exclusion period, the responsible course is to leave that exclusion intact.
Northern Ireland has its own gambling legislation and sits outside the Gambling Commission's licensing regime for remote gambling in the same way Great Britain does not — check your own position rather than assuming British guidance applies unchanged.
Your legal position, tax position and payment provider's willingness to process transactions are yours to establish. We publish information, not legal advice.
Terms, licences and ownership change. We date our findings and re-check them, but the operator's own pages are the authority at the moment you sign up.

If gambling has stopped being entertainment, our responsible gambling guidance covers deposit and loss limits, self-exclusion, blocking software and free confidential support from GamCare, whose National Gambling Helpline is available on 0808 8020 133.

Accuracy of listings, offers and ratings

We research operators from publicly available sources: licence registers, published terms and conditions, ownership disclosures, payment pages and game lobbies. We do not claim to have deposited, played or withdrawn at the casinos we cover, and you should treat any advertised processing speed as a claim by the operator rather than a measured result.

Bonus figures shown on this page and across the site are headline advertised amounts, reproduced as the operator states them. They are the maximum theoretically available, not what a typical player receives. Every one of them carries conditions — a qualifying minimum deposit, wagering requirements, a maximum bet while a bonus is active, an expiry date and often a cap on what you can withdraw from bonus winnings. Those conditions are set by the operator and can be changed or withdrawn without notice to us.

The advertised offers we currently list

Casino	Advertised welcome offer	Editorial rating	Currency shown
Betmica	570% up to £5,700 + 270 free spins	10.0	GBP
Kikibet	350% up to £5,555 + 300 free spins	9.9	GBP
Betninja	£1,000 bonus + 100 free spins for new players	9.9	GBP
WinnerIsland	Up to €1,000 + 100 free spins	9.9	EUR
Zombillion	250% up to £4,000 + 200 free spins	9.9	GBP

Rivo	1000% up to €10,000 + 25% cashback	9.7	EUR
Daytonaspin	255% up to £4,500 + 255 free spins	9.6	GBP

Ratings are our own editorial scores on a ten-point scale. They compress several judgements — terms clarity, payment practicality for British customers, game range and support — into one figure, and a 9.9 is not meaningfully better than a 9.8. Use the write-ups, not the decimals.

How the listed offers are qualified: three worked examples

These three sit at the top of our list, and each is included for a different reason. Each also carries a limitation you should weigh before registering.

Betmica — the largest advertised percentage in sterling

Betmica leads our table because its welcome offer is quoted directly in pounds, which removes the conversion guesswork that affects most Curaçao-licensed sites, and because its published terms are laid out in a readable way rather than buried. The advertised 570% up to £5,700 plus 270 free spins is a multi-deposit package: to approach the ceiling you would need to commit roughly £1,000 of your own money across the qualifying deposits, and the spins are typically released in daily tranches on named slots rather than all at once. The limitation is scale — a bonus that large almost always arrives with a proportionally large wagering requirement and a cashout cap, so the realistic value is a fraction of the headline. Read the maximum-bet rule before your first spin; breaching it is the most common reason bonus winnings are voided.

Kikibet — free-spin volume with a sterling ceiling

Kikibet earns its place on spin volume: 300 free spins alongside 350% up to £5,555, again quoted in pounds. For players whose interest is slots rather than table games, the spin count does more work than a percentage match, because spins carry their own (usually lower) wagering and a fixed stake value. The drawback is that free-spin winnings at most Curaçao operators are converted to bonus funds first and capped on withdrawal, so a strong run on the spins does not translate into a large cash balance. Check the per-spin value and the winnings cap before treating this as the better-value offer.

Betninja — a flat, legible offer rather than a percentage

Betninja is here because its £1,000 bonus and 100 free spins for all new players is the simplest offer in the list to understand. A stated cash ceiling with no headline multiplier makes the arithmetic straightforward, which suits anyone depositing modest amounts who wants to know what they are agreeing to. The trade-off is reach: the maximum is well below the larger packages, and a smaller spin count gives less room to explore a lobby. It is the conservative choice, not the biggest one.

Money: what participation costs and how you can pay

Using maiatheband.com costs you nothing. Everything below concerns the operators, and none of it is guaranteed by us — availability of any method for British customers must be confirmed on the casino's own cashier page before you deposit.

Minimum deposits — typically in the £10 to £20 range at Curaçao sites, but a bonus often carries a higher qualifying minimum than the site's general floor. Depositing below the qualifying amount usually forfeits the offer entirely, with no way to reinstate it.
Debit cards — Visa and Mastercard debit are the most familiar route. Credit cards are prohibited for gambling in Great Britain and most overseas operators also decline them. Card issuers sometimes block gambling transactions to unlicensed merchants; a declined payment is a bank decision, not an operator fault.
Bank transfers — widely accepted for larger amounts, slower on both legs, and the method most likely to trigger extra checks.
E-wallets — Skrill and Neteller appear frequently. PayPal is generally not available at casinos outside the Gambling Commission's remit, so do not plan around it. Note that many operators exclude e-wallet deposits from bonus eligibility.
Prepaid vouchers — Paysafecard-style options appear at some sites for deposits only; you will need a different method to be paid out.
Cryptocurrency — common at Curaçao operators and central to some of them. Fast, but the value of your balance moves with the market and conversion in and out adds cost.
Currency conversion — several offers above are denominated in euros or dollars. If the account is not held in GBP, your bank or the operator applies a conversion spread on every deposit and every withdrawal, and the sterling value of a quoted bonus ceiling will shift.
Fees — deposits are often free; withdrawals may carry a flat fee, a percentage, or a fee after a set number of monthly cashouts. This is disclosed in operator terms, not always on the cashier screen.
Withdrawal timing and limits — crypto is usually the quickest, e-wallets next, cards and bank transfer slowest. Nearly all sites impose daily, weekly or monthly withdrawal ceilings, which matter enormously if you win a large amount from a progressive jackpot. Pending or reversal periods, where a withdrawal can be cancelled back into your balance, are worth switching off where the option exists.
KYC and source of funds — expect to provide photo ID, proof of address and proof of payment ownership before a first withdrawal. Larger or irregular sums can trigger source-of-funds checks requiring payslips or bank statements. These are normal anti-money-laundering steps, but at overseas operators the standards and turnaround times vary, and delays here are the single most frequent cause of withdrawal disputes.

What is on offer at the sites we list

We describe categories, not catalogues, and we do not publish game counts we cannot verify. Broadly, the operators above cover:

Slots — the bulk of every lobby, and the games most bonuses are restricted to. Two things decide the experience: return to player (RTP), the long-run theoretical payback percentage, and volatility, which describes whether wins come small and often or rare and large. High-volatility slots burn through a bonus balance faster in both directions.
Progressive jackpots — pooled prizes that grow until won. Check the withdrawal limits above: a monthly cap can mean a jackpot is paid in instalments.
Table games — blackjack, roulette and baccarat in digital form. These usually contribute 10% or less towards wagering requirements, and some bonuses exclude them completely.
Live dealer rooms — real croupiers streamed in real time, with the same table games plus game-show formats. Rarely eligible for bonus wagering.
Software providers — the studios supplying those games determine quality and fairness testing more than the casino brand does. A lobby of recognisable providers is a reasonable signal; a lobby of unfamiliar ones warrants a closer look.
Mobile play — nearly all of these sites run in a mobile browser rather than through an app. Test the cashier and the support widget on your phone before committing.

Our comparison of Curaçao sites for UK players goes into the game and payment detail per operator.

The sportsbook running alongside

Several operators in our list pair the casino with a sportsbook, usually on a shared wallet — one balance, but separate bonus terms. The distinction matters because a casino bonus and a sports free bet are not interchangeable, and wagering a casino bonus on football will normally contribute nothing.

Typical sportsbook features include pre-match and in-play betting, accumulators, bet builders, cash-out and esports markets. Free bets almost always carry minimum qualifying odds — often around 1.80 in decimal terms — meaning a short-priced selection will not count towards releasing the offer, and the stake is not returned with the winnings. Cash-out values are set by the operator and can be suspended without warning. Treat the sportsbook side as a separate product with its own terms, not an extension of the casino promotion.

Your responsibilities when using this site

Confirm you are 18 or over and that gambling is lawful where you are.
Read the operator's full terms before depositing, particularly wagering requirements, game contributions, maximum bonus bets, expiry dates and cashout caps.
Hold one account per person per operator. Duplicate accounts are the standard ground for confiscating balances.
Deposit only funds that are genuinely yours and that you can afford to lose. Gambling is not income and will not fix a financial problem.
Do not use this site to circumvent an active GAMSTOP exclusion or any self-exclusion you have set.
Do not copy, scrape or republish our content commercially without permission.

Limits of our liability

We publish information in good faith and correct errors when we find them, but we make no warranty that every figure is current at the moment you read it, and we cannot describe any casino as completely safe. We do not guarantee withdrawals, winnings, bonus eligibility or account approval, and no content here should be read as a prediction of outcome. To the extent the law allows, Non Gamstop Casinos is not liable for losses arising from your dealings with a third-party operator, from reliance on information that an operator has since changed, or from content on sites we link to.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, and nothing here removes any right you hold against an operator under its own terms or licence conditions.

Complaints, changes and getting in touch

Complaints about a casino go to the casino first, in writing, through its published complaints procedure — keep the ticket reference and the timestamps. Curaçao-licensed operators generally offer an escalation route to their licensing body, though it is slower and less consumer-weighted than the Gambling Commission route British players may expect. Where the site provides no workable procedure, that is itself worth knowing about, and we will record it.

Complaints about our content — an out-of-date bonus figure, a listing you think is unfair, a factual error — should come to us. We will correct anything we get wrong and date the correction.

We may update these terms as the site, the offers or the regulatory picture change. The revision date at the top reflects the last review. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised version. You can read more about our editorial approach on the about page.
