Note K11 Revision 1 Terms read 16 October 2026
Non Gamstop paysafe casinos: one way in, another way out
A denomination goes on in whole rungs and comes off through somebody else’s cashier. Want £12.00 in play and the smallest purchase is £20.00, so £8.00 is stranded at the till. The obligation then takes £4.80, and the £7.20 that survives meets a floor it cannot clear. One rung in, nothing out.
The rung at the till £20.00 Charged on the way down £4.80 Stranded all told £20.00
What a face of this size is worth
Every destination on this rack is bought advertising. The site takes a fee if a reader goes on to register, and no figure printed below moves because of it.

Open the offer at Crown Jewelz, opens in a new tabThe two figures in the second and third registers are this site's own arithmetic and nothing an operator has published: the face as printed, less the share a spin gives back at 96 per cent return to player, less what playing the wagering through costs at the same return, and then less whatever a published ceiling, a charge on the way out or a floor on the smallest withdrawal takes off what survives that. The residue is what is left of the face when all of it is accounted for. It describes the offer, not one reader's afternoon. Where the conditions price above the face the strip prints nothing coming off rather than a negative sum, and where a figure the sum needs is unpublished it prints the condition in the operator's words instead.
A face paid as spins has no unit of its own, so one is supplied. Where an operator publishes what a spin of its own is worth, that figure stands in the first register's own line and is labelled as theirs. Where it does not, this site's own 10p a spin stands there and says so, and every figure below moves in proportion: at half the price, half the money. The share of the face that does come off is also given as pence in the pound, which is the figure that compares a large face against a small one.
Money goes onto a prepaid voucher in fixed denominations, so a smallest deposit published in pounds is rounded up to the first rung of the ladder this site works in, £10, £20, £25, £50, £75 and £100, and the strip prints what that rounding strands. That is the reader's own money and it is never netted into a residue. A smallest deposit published in euros is printed as the operator publishes it, because the ladder here is a sterling one and rounding a euro sum to it would be an invented figure.
Three words stand in the amount column where no figure can. Noted is a published condition that takes value away without leaving the sum a figure to take. Unpriced is a condition whose figure nobody has published, or a credit that is not a sum until a deposit of your own sets it. Own money is money of yours, which is never part of a residue.
Not one of the operators printed above holds a Great Britain licence, so the duties that licence carries do not reach them. All online gambling companies licensed in Great Britain must be part of Gamstop Online, and a reader who has shut themselves out through the scheme is therefore not shut out here. The ceiling of ten times the bonus funds on a wagering requirement, in force since 19 January 2026 under Social Responsibility Code 5.1.1, is a condition of that licence and binds the companies that hold one. On an unlicensed site the Gambling Commission describes consumers as facing unfair gaming practices, financial loss and a lack of recourse if things go wrong, and it names blocked payouts and withdrawal limits set so high they are unattainable among what it has seen. Nobody under 18 may hold an account at any of them.
Every term printed on a strip is the operator's own, and each strip carries the day it was read. The oldest of those readings is 16 October 2026. What binds a reader is the operator's own full terms, and not a line printed here.
1
An instrument with three properties
This site is named after a prepaid instrument because the instrument explains the market better than any adjective can. Three properties belong to it and all three show up as money.
| The property | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| A face value | A figure printed before anything is taken off |
| A spend-down | An obligation, a weighting, a clock, a charge |
| A residue | Whatever was never going to come off at all |
| A single direction | Value goes on in rungs and leaves by a cashier |
The fourth row is the one this page is about, and it is the property nobody advertises. A denomination moves one way. It is bought in a fixed amount, it goes on to an account, and it comes off through whatever exit the cashier operates, under whatever floor that cashier writes. Going in and coming out are not the same journey, and only the first one has a published price.
So take a reader who wants £12.00 in play. The ladder held throughout this site runs in six rungs, with a tenner at the bottom and a hundred at the top. Twelve is not a rung. The smallest purchase covering it is £20.00, which strands £8.00 on the instrument before a reel has turned.
A press costs 10p here and a game returns 96 per cent. Both are figures this site states as assumptions rather than measurements of anybody’s software, and they hold across every page here, which lets offers be set against each other on a single scale.
Faces of this sort are advertised where no British licence applies. Part 6 asks of each missing duty what it holds down and what it is worth, which beats a warning. The duties: an obligation with a ceiling; a reel cycle with a lid on the stake; a published minimum pace; a check preceding play; an exit immune from capping; a complaint on a clock; and a place on the register of national exclusions.
Nothing on this page says which way of paying arrives at which cashier, and the omission is deliberate rather than careless. A gambling block put up by a bank is a protection, so is blocking software on a handset, and so is a registration with the national scheme. This note puts a figure on each of those and goes no further.
2
Every rung, and what each strands
Rounding to a rung is the only cost in this market that can be calculated before anything else is known. It needs no terms, no obligation and no cashier: only an intention and a ladder.
| Wanted in play | Bought | Stranded at the till | As a share of the intention |
|---|---|---|---|
| £3.00 | A tenner | £7.00 | 233.3 per cent |
| £8.00 | A tenner | £2.00 | 25 per cent |
| £12.00 | Twenty pounds | £8.00 | 66.7 per cent |
| £22.00 | Twenty-five pounds | £3.00 | 13.6 per cent |
| £35.00 | Fifty pounds, or two rungs below it | £15.00, or £5.00 | 42.9, or 14.3 per cent |
| £55.00 | Seventy-five pounds | £20.00 | 36.4 per cent |
| £80.00 | A hundred pounds | £20.00 | 25 per cent |
| £95.00 | A hundred pounds | £5.00 | 5.3 per cent |
Two readings come out of that column of shares. The first: the surcharge is largest where the intention is smallest, so the rung penalises exactly the reader trying to keep a sum small. The second: combining rungs can beat a single larger one, which is why the £35.00 row carries two answers and why the better of them is worth knowing.
A £12.00 intention strands £8.00 at the till, which is 66.7 per cent of what the reader wanted in play
One honest qualification. A stranded rung is not confiscated. It stays as value, usable later at the same cashier or held as an unspent balance. What it cannot do is return the way it came, which is the single-direction property from part 1, and that is why the exit in part 4 is priced separately rather than netted off here.
3
Twelve pounds through six obligations
Suppose the £12.00 arrives as credit with an obligation attached. Three steps. Staking equals obligation times credit. Of that staking, four pence in the pound is the charge to expect, circuit after circuit. What stands is credit minus charge, with nothing as its floor.
| Turnovers written | Charge expected | Staking wanted | Presses at 10p | Left standing | Never coming off |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| None | £0.00 | No staking at all | None | £12.00 | £0.00 |
| Five | £2.40 | £60.00 | 600 | £9.60 | £2.40 |
| Ten | £4.80 | £120.00 | 1,200 | £7.20 | £4.80 |
| Twenty | £9.60 | £240.00 | 2,400 | £2.40 | £9.60 |
| Twenty-five | £12.00 | £300.00 | 3,000 | £0.00 | £12.00 |
| Forty | £19.20 | £480.00 | 4,800 | £0.00 | £12.00 |
Twenty-five is not a convention anybody chose. Twenty-five four-pence charges fit inside a pound, which puts expected survival at nothing there and under nothing beyond. One ceiling exists anywhere in this market and it reads ten, set by limb 3(a) in the incentives provision, in force since 19 January 2026 and binding every licence save the technical and software sorts.
Ten turnovers hold 60p of each pound; twenty-five hold none; forty leave each pound 60p down
Sixty turnovers is the practice that ceiling answered, on the regulator’s own figure. Here that is £720.00 of staking, £28.80 of charge, and an outcome £16.80 the wrong side of the credit.
Two gaps get recorded instead of filled. The subject of that ceiling is bonus funds, so a free press whose winnings land that way has the ten applied, while whether a free press is bonus funds in itself goes unpublished. Nor is it published whether the ceiling covers an obligation calculated on deposit and bonus together.
Weighting lifts the staking and leaves the written figure where it is. One contribution rate turns up in the sources opened for this note: 30 pence in each pound, which a consultation respondent gave. Ten turnovers on £12.00 want £120.00 contributed. The staking that buys at that rate runs to £400.00, an effective 33.33 turnovers, by which point nothing is surviving.
Time comes out of the same column. At 10p a press, £120.00 of staking is 1,200 presses and £480.00 is 4,800. A licensed reel holds 2.5 seconds at the minimum from one game cycle to the earliest start of the following one, so those occupy 3,000 and 12,000 seconds: 50 minutes at the ceiling, 3 hours 20 minutes at forty turnovers.
4
The exit is a different route
Here is the asymmetry this page exists to price. Value went on in a rung. It does not come off in a rung. It comes off through a cashier’s exit, and that exit has its own minimum, which nothing on the instrument side controls.
Take the survivor at the ceiling: £7.20. Where the minimum payout sits on a bottom rung, the floor is £10.00, leaving £7.20 standing £2.80 beneath it. Nothing crosses. The whole survivor is stranded, and the figure stranding it is smaller than the sum being held.
| Where the money is | What happened to it | Residue so far |
|---|---|---|
| At the till | A £20.00 rung covers a £12.00 intention | £8.00 |
| On the account | Twelve pounds credited, eight left behind | £8.00 |
| Through the obligation | Ten turnovers charge four pounds eighty | £12.80 |
| At the cashier | Seven pounds twenty meets a ten pound floor | £20.00 |
| Carrying on | A charge of four pence a pound, sign unaltered | £20.00 |
The whole rung is residue, and nothing in that sequence needed to go wrong. No forfeiture, no weighting, no missed clock, and an obligation at the lightest figure a British licence would permit.
Carrying on cannot close a £2.80 gap. Four pence is the expected charge on a pound of staking, since the game hands back 96 per cent of it, so £7.20 round once costs 29p and ten circuits cost £2.88, which is more than the gap. Variance is the only thing that crosses, and the price it charges is four pence per pound.
£7.20 held £2.80 below a floor, with ten circuits costing £2.88 to chase £2.80
Buying another rung cannot close it either. The smallest is £10.00, so covering a £2.80 shortfall costs more than three times the shortfall and leaves £7.20 of fresh surplus, which is the same figure the page started the paragraph with.
Four British rules hold an exit open where a licence applies. Each is a separate bar rather than an argument, so they go in a table.
| What a licensee may not do | How far it reaches |
|---|---|
| Offer to cancel a withdrawal | Not once the request has gone in |
| Put requested funds back in reach | Not for depositing them again |
| Cap a deposit balance | Prohibited, by the code on withdrawal limits |
| Ask for documents at the end | Not where the asking could have come sooner |
The third row has an arithmetic worth printing. Barred wording, in the example the regulator gives, permits a daily £50.00 alongside a weekly £500.00. Multiply the weekly figure by 52 and £26,000.00 appears, every penny of it money a player already owns. A win cap attached to a bonus is a different box, which that rule leaves alone, so the two cannot be merged.
5
A residue with no rule over it
Now the question the instrument raises and the market does not answer. A residue is a sum of money sitting somewhere, and somebody’s terms decide what becomes of it. Where no British licence applies, the terms are the only thing deciding.
One published case shows what the British regulator does about a term of that shape, and it belongs here as fields rather than as a story.
| The field | What the published record holds |
|---|---|
| Date of decision | 3 July 2025 |
| Amount | £170,000 |
| Who held the licence | Taichi Tech Limited, which trades as Fafabet |
| Where the wording lived | Bonus rules covering new casino promotions |
| What it kept back | A discretion over accounts and over winnings |
| The condition breached | Fair and open licensing |
| Said of such terms | Transparency lacking, unfair outcomes possible |
| Also ordered | An independent third party’s audit |
| What did not happen | No term was struck down |
The last row governs how a page may write about this. A penalty is on the record; nothing this network read declares a clause of that shape void, so void is not a word used here. The shape is all that can be stated: a discretion of that kind has drawn a fine of that size on that date.
Two further protections wrap a residue where a British licence applies, and the terms are what both of them act on. Unfairness in the statutory sense is barred, transparency in that same sense is required, and the terms have to be reachable without difficulty. A material change has to reach the customer before it bites, and the same two tests run on the change. Then the duty behind any incentive at all: terms that are clear, transparent and fair, made easy to reach by whoever the offer went to. None of that sits in the offshore rulebook read for this note.
6
What a denomination cannot buy
Ask of each duty what it holds down and what it is worth, and the licence answers in pence rather than in principle. Every row below is a thing British licence holders have to do. Not one appears in the offshore policy this note read. And every row prices out against the £12.00 in play here.
| The duty | What does it hold down? | What is it worth here? |
|---|---|---|
| Ten turnovers at most | Whatever multiple a cashier would write | £14.40 of swing, ten against forty |
| A single product type per offer | Casino terms bolted to betting terms | One obligation to clear, never two |
| £5.00 on a reel cycle | How quickly a credit can be committed | 1,200 presses, not twenty-four |
| A floor of 2.5 seconds | The speed at which staking leaves | 50 minutes at the ceiling |
| Turbo barred, autoplay barred | Whether each press remains a decision | 4,800 decisions at forty turnovers |
| A check before play | Who the account actually belongs to | Nothing credited before it is done |
| An exit nobody may cap | What comes back out of a balance | No yearly lid of £26,000 imposed |
Row one carries the most money, so here is its arithmetic in one line. Ten turnovers leave £7.20 standing and forty overshoot by £7.20, which puts £14.40 between the two outcomes on a credit of twelve pounds. A term decides which end a reader meets, and out here nobody has to print the term at all.
And a line in the other direction, which keeps the table honest. Usual residence decides the duty rather than the register an operator sits on, so a cashier off the register taking a British player’s money is inside British gaming duty regardless. The rate for remote gaming: 40 per cent, from April 2026. Forty turnovers on this credit produce £19.20 of expected margin and £7.68 of duty on it. Tax advice is not given anywhere on this page.
7
A till receipt carries no name
A prepaid instrument carries a denomination and no name, while the scheme works on accounts, so the two never meet: nothing a reader buys at a till is covered by a registration. That is a statement about mechanism rather than about intent, and it is the reason this page has to be written with care.
| The thing | What it operates on | What lies outside it |
|---|---|---|
| A denomination | A sum of value, and nothing else | Any question of who holds it |
| The national scheme | Every account at a participating operator | Services anybody else runs |
| Blocking software | Whatever sites and apps a device can open | Devices where nobody installed it |
| A bank’s gambling block | A payment on its way out of an account | Spending that goes by another route |
Rows two, three and four are protections somebody has chosen for themselves. Describing a way past any of them would work against the person who put it there, so none is described, and the arithmetic in parts 2 to 4 stands in its place.
The scheme’s details, spelled as the scheme spells them, since this network has got them wrong in the past.
| The entry | What it says |
|---|---|
| The spelling | Gamstop, with a lower case s |
| The full name | Gamstop Online, taken up in November 2025 |
| Who established it | The Remote Gambling Association, June 2017 |
| What makes joining compulsory | A condition of the British licence, March 2020 |
| Screening of accounts | The whole base, daily at least, from April 2020 |
| Betting shops | A sister service, which joined in July 2023 |
| Ending one early | Not available; the terms use capitals |
| Doing nothing at the end | It runs on, as much as seven years more |
| The terms, last revised | 20 May 2026 |
Two rows settle the phrase this page is searched with. Joining goes with the licence, so a cashier holding none is outside with nothing decided. And the scheme marks out its own boundary: participating operators are covered, and keeping a person clear of services run by anybody else lies outside what it can manage. Call that the limit of the protection rather than a weakness in it.
The scale is published and worth one line of arithmetic. On 16 July 2026 the figure stood at 614,738 registrations. The five-year term was taken by over half of them, which is more than 307,000 people, and under-25 registrations climbed 26 per cent on the year to reach close to a third of the whole.
One notice, issued 20 January 2025, records sites with no licence frequently going after people already holding a registration. So a page about a till receipt has to say plainly what it withholds. No domains. No phrasing to search for. No way past a block. Nothing on which rail arrives where. The figures above are the argument, and the argument is that one rung in produces nothing out.
8
Three items with no denomination
Everything priced above comes in rungs. Three things on this page have no denomination at all, which makes them the only items here a reader cannot overpay for.
| The item | Reached by | What it costs |
|---|---|---|
| The National Gambling Helpline | 0808 8020 133, with chat or WhatsApp | Nothing, at any hour |
| That number dialled abroad | +44 8088 020 133 | Nothing |
| Blocking software | TalkBanStop, which GamCare publishes | Nothing, for a caller on that line |
GamCare runs that line, for a caller’s own gambling or for another person’s. The blocking software spells itself Gamban, lower case b. A trial lasting seven days is free on its own pages, which also name one American state in which the software is free. The British free route belongs to GamCare, whose source carries 12 April 2021 without stating a duration, so this page claims none.
One closing figure. A £20.00 rung bought for a £12.00 intention produces, in the best case this market allows, a residue of £20.00. A telephone call produces a residue of nothing, because it had no face value to begin with.
Questions
- Why does a prepaid denomination strand money?
- Because value exists only at the rungs and nowhere between them. A reader wanting £12.00 in play has to buy £20.00, so £8.00 is stranded at the till, which is 66.7 per cent of the intention. The surcharge is largest where the intention is smallest: a £3.00 intention strands £7.00, or 233.3 per cent, while a £95.00 one strands £5.00, or 5.3 per cent.
- Is the stranded part lost?
- Not confiscated, no. It stays as value, and the same cashier can take it later, or it sits as an unspent balance. What it cannot do is come back the way it went, because a denomination moves one way: on in rungs, off through a cashier’s exit under whatever floor that cashier writes. That is why part 4 prices the exit separately rather than netting it off.
- What does twelve pounds of credit survive?
- £7.20 where the obligation is held at ten turnovers, which is a British licence’s ceiling. Ten turnovers ask £120.00 of staking, and the expected charge on that is £4.80 where a game returns 96 per cent. Forty turnovers charge £19.20, finishing the credit and overshooting by £7.20. £14.40 separates the two outcomes, on a credit of twelve pounds.
- Why is the exit a different route from the entrance?
- Because the instrument has one direction. A rung buys value onto an account; getting value off happens through the cashier, under a minimum payout the cashier sets. At a floor of £10.00 a surviving £7.20 crosses nothing at all and is £2.80 short. The sum held is larger than the gap holding it, which is the oddity this page exists to point out.
- What is the total residue on one rung?
- All £20.00, with nothing going wrong. £8.00 stranded at the till, because the rung exceeds the intention. £4.80 taken by the lightest obligation a licence permits. And £7.20 surviving, then held below a £10.00 payout floor. No forfeiture, no weighting and no missed clock is needed to reach that total.
- Does carrying on ever reach the payout floor?
- It does not, and the arithmetic is unusually blunt here. The expected charge on a staked pound is four pence where the game hands back 96 per cent, so ten circuits of £7.20 cost £2.88 while the gap being chased is £2.80. Chasing costs more than the thing chased. Variance alone crosses it, at four pence on every pound given to it.
- Does a registration cover a prepaid purchase?
- No, and the reason is mechanical rather than a matter of intent. A denomination carries a sum of value and no name, while the scheme operates on accounts at participating operators. The scheme marks out its own boundary: those operators are covered, and keeping somebody clear of what anybody else runs is outside what it can manage.
- What else is a protection here?
- Three things, working in three places. Accounts at operators inside the scheme are what the national register acts on. Sites and apps on a device are what blocking software acts on. A payment leaving an account is what a bank’s block acts on. Each one is a protection somebody chose, and no way round any of them appears on this page.
- What happens to a residue when no rule covers it?
- Terms decide, and off the register the terms are the only thing deciding. One published British case gives the shape. A discretion over accounts and winnings sat inside bonus rules for new casino promotions, and £170,000 was the fine it drew, on a decision dated 3 July 2025. Taichi Tech Limited held the licence and trades as Fafabet. A penalty is on the record, and no term was struck down, so this page avoids the word void.
- What on this page has no price?
- Three items, and no number of rungs would buy them. A call GamCare answers on 0808 8020 133, with chat or WhatsApp beside it, picked up at any hour. That number dialled from abroad, which is +44 8088 020 133. And blocking software, costing nothing to a caller on that line through TalkBanStop, which GamCare publishes.
