Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions explain the rules for using no-tar-sands.org, operated as Sites Not On Gamstop. By reading or using the site you agree to them. If you disagree with any part, please stop using the site. The page is written in plain English so you can see what we do, what we don't do, and what remains your responsibility.
What this site is, and what it is not
Sites Not On Gamstop is an independent information and comparison site. We publish research-based guides and reviews about casinos that operate outside the GamStop scheme, covering bonuses, wagering requirements, payments, withdrawals, games and sports betting.
- We are not a casino, bookmaker or payment provider.
- We do not take deposits, hold funds, or process bets or withdrawals.
- We do not provide financial, legal or gambling advice.
- Any account you open is a contract between you and the operator, not us.
Who may use the site
You must be aged 18 or over to use this site. Our content is written mainly for readers in the United Kingdom. Gambling law differs between countries, and rules for Great Britain are not identical to those elsewhere in the UK. You are responsible for checking that gambling is lawful where you live and that an operator is permitted to accept you as a customer.
Please note that a casino accepting British customers is not the same as being authorised by the UK Gambling Commission to serve them. Sites not covered by GamStop generally sit outside the British licensing and self-exclusion framework, which means some UK protections may not apply. Read our responsible gambling page before you decide whether these sites are right for you.
Commercial relationships and how we rank
Some links on this site are commercial. If you follow a link and sign up with an operator, we may earn a commission. That does not change your price. Commission does not buy position: rankings and editorial ratings reflect our assessment of factors such as bonus terms, payment options, game range and clarity of conditions, not payment. Editorial ratings are our own opinion. They are not customer-review scores and not a guarantee of your experience.
Our approach is set out on the About Us page. Our current selection appears on our main guide to non GamStop casinos.
Accuracy of information
We research and verify information from operator websites, published terms and official sources, and we date time-sensitive findings. Even so:
- Bonuses, wagering requirements, limits, fees and payment methods change often and may differ by country or account type.
- Offers displayed on our pages are the operators' own advertising. Read the full terms on the operator's site before you deposit.
- Where we could not confirm something, we say so. Treat unconfirmed points as open questions.
- We do not claim to have deposited, played or withdrawn at any casino as part of our reviews.
The operator's terms always take priority over anything we say about them. If you spot an error, please tell us through the contact page.
Your responsibilities
- Confirm you are of legal age and legally allowed to gamble where you are.
- Read the operator's terms, including wagering requirements, maximum bet rules, expiry dates, cashout limits and verification checks.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Gambling is not a source of income or a way to solve money problems.
- Use tools available to you, such as deposit limits, self-exclusion or gambling blocking software, if gambling stops being enjoyable. Support is available from GamCare.
- Keep your own records of payments, messages and account activity.
No guarantees and limits of liability
No casino is completely safe, and we cannot guarantee that any operator will pay withdrawals, honour a bonus or resolve a dispute in your favour. We provide the site as is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses, delays, account closures or disputes arising from your dealings with third-party operators, or from relying on our content. Nothing here removes rights you have under law that cannot be excluded, including for fraud or negligence causing death or personal injury.
Third-party sites and links
Our pages link to operators and other organisations. We do not control their content, privacy practices or services and are not responsible for them. A link is not an endorsement of every feature or a promise about their behaviour.
Our content and acceptable use
The text, layout and original material on this site belong to us or are used with permission. You may read it and share links for personal use. Do not copy, republish or scrape substantial parts without written permission, and do not use the site in a way that harms it or other users. Operator names and logos belong to their owners.
Privacy and cookies
We may use cookies or similar technologies to run the site and understand how it is used. If you contact us, we will use your details only to reply and handle your request.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the site or the rules change. The updated date at the top of the page shows the latest revision. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised terms.
Governing law and questions
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and disputes fall to the courts there, unless mandatory consumer law in your home nation says otherwise. For questions about these terms, or to report an error or complaint about our content, use the contact page.
