Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions explain how you may use Betting Not On Gamstop (hgmmechanical.co.uk), what we publish, and where our responsibility starts and stops. By using the site you agree to them. If you disagree with any part, please stop using the site.

Last fact-check of this page: 1 October 2026.

Who we are and what this site does

Betting Not On Gamstop is an independent information site. We publish research-based reviews and guides about betting sites that are not part of GAMSTOP, including features, odds, bonuses, wagering requirements, payments, withdrawals and mobile betting. We are not a bookmaker, we do not take bets, and we do not hold anyone's money. You can read more on our About Us page.

Who may use this site

• You must be 18 or over. Gambling by under-18s is illegal in the UK.
• You are responsible for checking that online gambling is lawful where you live and that you are allowed to open an account with any operator.
• If you have registered with GAMSTOP, or are in a self-exclusion period, please think carefully before looking for sites outside that scheme. Our Responsible Gambling page lists support options.

Regulation and your protections

In Great Britain, operators serving customers must hold a licence from the UK Gambling Commission, and licensed operators must take part in GAMSTOP. Sites not on GAMSTOP generally operate under overseas licences instead. A site accepting British customers is not the same as being authorised by the UK Gambling Commission to serve them.

This usually means fewer protections: GAMSTOP exclusion will not apply, complaints may have to go through the operator or its overseas regulator, and UK dispute routes may not be available. Nothing on this site describes any operator as completely safe, and we cannot guarantee withdrawals, winnings or how an operator will treat you.

Commercial disclosure

We may earn commission if you follow a link and sign up with an operator. Commission does not buy position: rankings reflect our editorial assessment of factors such as offer terms, payment options, markets, and clarity of conditions. Editorial ratings are our own opinions, not customer-review scores.

Offers, bonuses and the information we show

Offers shown on this site, such as welcome bonuses, free bets or free spins, are the operators' own advertising. They change often and may be withdrawn or altered without notice.

• Always read the operator's own terms before depositing. Check wagering requirements, minimum deposits, minimum qualifying odds, bonus expiry dates, maximum bonus bets and cashout limits.
• Some offers are stated in euros or dollars. Currency conversion and payment fees may apply to a GBP account.
• Bonus conditions can mean you must stake your own money. We do not describe an offer as free if you must deposit to claim it.
• Payment methods, including PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Revolut, Paysafecard, pay by phone and cryptocurrency, may not be available to UK customers. Verify this with the operator.

How we research, and the limits of that research

Our reviews are based on desk research of operator websites, published terms and public information. We do not claim to have deposited, bet or withdrawn funds. Where information is unconfirmed, advertising only or may have changed, we aim to say so. Time-sensitive details are dated by the fact-check date shown on a page.

No betting advice and no guarantees

• Betting tips and odds examples are for general information only. They are not financial advice and do not predict results.
• Gambling is not a way to earn income or solve money problems. Never stake money you cannot afford to lose.
• Withdrawals may be delayed by identity checks (KYC) and source-of-funds checks. Check an operator's limits and dispute procedure before you play.

Our liability

We aim to keep the site accurate, but we give no warranty that it is complete or current. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses arising from your use of the site, your dealings with any operator, or reliance on our content. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including your statutory consumer rights.

Third-party sites and links

We link to operators and support organisations. We do not control their content, terms or privacy practices, and a link is not an endorsement of every feature. Any contract you make is with that operator, not with us.

Our content and acceptable use

The text and layout of this site belong to us or our licensors. You may quote short extracts with a credit, but you may not copy the site wholesale, scrape it, or use it in a way that harms its operation.

Help if gambling is a problem

• GamCare – free, confidential support through the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.
• GAMSTOP – free self-exclusion across licensed British operators.
• Deposit and loss limits, self-exclusion and gambling blocking software can all help. See our Responsible Gambling guide.

Changes to these terms and how to reach us

We may update these terms as the site or the law changes. The updated date at the top of the page shows the latest revision, and continued use means you accept the current version. Questions can be sent through our Contact Us page.
