WELCOME TO NONSTOPCASINOS.COM!

Our nonstop casino evaluation process

Our staff assesses, reviews and ranks all nonstop online casinos accessible to UK gamblers. Each member contributes their expertise, which results in nuanced and balanced assessments and ratings that reflect the true experience you’ll have as a player.

To help simplify the process and ensure transparency in how we rank a nonstop casino site, let’s take a look at our seven main evaluation criteria:

• Game providers
• Number and variety of games
• Bonuses and promotions
• License, security and data protection
• Payment methods and payout times
• Rules and bonus requirements
• Customer support options

Game providers

Obviously, you’re here to play casino games. That’s first and foremost. If the right ones aren’t available to you, what’s the point in even signing up?!

So, what do we look for?

On the developer side, we want to know if the casino carries reputable titles from well-known game providers like Microgaming, NetEnt, Pragmatic Play and Playtech. These providers are renowned for their high-quality games with excellent graphics, audio effects and smooth gameplay.

You’ll also find new indie developers that have a unique take on popular game genres or innovative new titles. It’s great to see smaller game providers get a chance to shine, and it gives you more options to try new things as a player.

The best nonstop casinos will even offer platform-specific games they’ve developed themselves. These are usually very high-quality, and their gameplay (and possibly even the whole concept) is exclusive to the casino in question.

Number and variety of games

Beyond that, we also assess the overall variety of games. This is what ensures you have a dynamic gaming experience.

• Table games like blackjack, roulette, baccarat and poker
• Live dealer versions of these games
• Slots
• Dice games
• Bingo and scratch cards
• Lotteries and raffles
• Online sports betting
• Mini-games and jackpots
• Platform-specific game options

If a casino carries all of the above, it’s already off to a good start.

We’re also looking for quantity. For a high-performing modern online casino, 500+ games is the absolute minimum. The more games there are, the better the review.

And we’re not just looking for casinos offering lots of one type of game. Some try to oversell their diversity with claims like “1,000+ games” when, in reality, they have 900 slots and limited diversity out of those remaining.

We examine the full game lobby meticulously. We test filtering options, search specific games, and, of course, load up and play various titles.

This is particularly valuable to you in the case of live dealer games, which you can’t play for free. You’d have no idea how many live tables there are, what the dealers are like, or what games are even available without us to provide all of it. 

Bonuses and promotions

Bonuses and promotions are extremely important because they help you maximise your bankroll.

There are several kinds of bonuses you might find:

• Welcome packages: For newcomers, these include deposit match bonuses, free spins and/or cashback.
• No-deposit bonuses: You verify your account and start playing with a small amount, so you can test the casino without putting up your own money just yet.
• Reload bonuses: Existing players can top up their accounts with extra funds when they make new deposits.
• Cashback schemes: The casino will refund a percentage of your losses on a daily or weekly basis.
• VIP programs: Loyal players get additional perks, such as special gifts or dedicated account managers, the more they play. Higher tiers get increasingly better payouts and gifts.
• Specific game offers: Certain nonstop casinos reward you for playing a specific game — e.g., by offering double loyalty points on Starburst slot games.

Each casino review analyses the fine print behind each offer. Wagering requirements determine at what point you can withdraw the bonus amount (though you get to use it freely beforehand).

For example, a wagering requirement of 30x would mean you’d need to bet 30 times the bonus amount before withdrawal; if that were £100, you’d have to wager £3,000.

You also have to consider:

• Bonus amounts
• Time constraints
• Game limitations
• Deposit requirements
• Betting and earnings limits

We report this information in each review, so you can go beyond the value of the bonus offer. You need to know these terms to make full sense of which offers are actually good and which ones leave you with next to no chance of winning anything.

License, security and data protection

Since we exclusively work with nonstop casinos, many of which are not regulated by the UKGC, protections are especially concerning for our players. They need to know what licensing and security infrastructure exists to protect their investment, data, and winnings, since they know the UK government isn’t backing them up.

As a major part of our evaluation process, we carefully examine which licenses the casino holds and which agencies regulate its operations. We also look into the level of encryption each nonstop casino uses, as well as additional security measures they have in place to protect players’ personal and financial information (e.g., two-factor authentication).

• Personal data protection
• Secure transactions
• Guaranteed payouts
• Fair games, every time

Those are our main focal points when it comes to this criterion.

Payment methods and payout times

Payouts are the single biggest deciding factor when choosing a new casino; if players can’t easily and reliably get their money out of the system, then what’s the point in even trying to win in the first place?!

If this is an issue on a platform, we make it blatantly clear in the review. Casinos that make banking unreliable and difficult for players will never get a positive review from our team. 

What else are we looking for?

• A diverse range of payment methods. For most modern casinos this will include bank cards, e-wallets, and cryptocurrency options.
• High deposit and withdrawal limits. Nobody wants to be limited in terms of how much cash they can add or withdraw from their account. There are limitations set by the payment providers themselves, but we won’t accept casinos that excessively limit you.
• Fast withdrawal processing. 72 hours or less is our benchmark, but casinos earn a better rating if they can process them in under 48.
• Transaction fees. The lower, the better, of course. This partially depends on the platform you’re paying with, but also on the casino’s policies. Those charging high fees for deposits or withdrawals without good reason get marked down.
• KYC requirements. In the UK, there’s no such thing as a no-KYC casino. But there are some that are notoriously slow at processing the information, or making it unnecessarily intensive. Those get marked down too.

Rules and bonus requirements

When an online casino makes its rules and requirements vague, hard to find or filled with jargon, players get “caught out” by an obscure rule and can even lose bonus cash by misinterpreting its conditions. 

This is common with welcome bonuses, where a massive number will be advertised, but the wagering requirements are such that players would need to spend tens of thousands in order to claim even a portion of it.

We give huge credit to casinos with the most transparency and fairest rules. While having less transparent terms isn’t inherently negative, it does weaken a casino compared to more open competitors. 

That said, transparency isn’t the only thing we look out for. We care equally about the rules themselves. Whether they’re hard to decipher or not, player-first casinos will always make sure the requirements are reasonable.

Our team combs through every line of the T&Cs to highlight the key points of every casino, and the ones with the most favourable terms for you, the player, are the ones we rank the highest. 

Customer support options

There are a lot of moving parts in an online casino and things do occasionally break. When that happens, players need customer support to quickly jump in and provide a solution. This is especially true when it comes to money and payouts.

We examine every single support option on offer, such as live chat, email and phone support. We also consider response times, availability (24/7 or not), language options and the helpfulness/friendliness of the support staff.

We also evaluate the depth of knowledge readily available on the site, and the knowledgeability of the support staff.

The nonstop casino registration process

To begin with, pick the site you like the most from our vetted toplist. Then, head to their website and click “join”, “sign up” or something similar.

The process of opening an account with a nonstop casino varies from one platform to the next, but will generally follow these steps:

1. Provide your personal information — your name, date of birth and address
2. Create a unique username and password
3. Choose your preferred currency
4. Enter your welcome bonus code (if applicable)
5. Agree to the terms and conditions, including age verification
6. Confirm your email address or phone number (if required)
7. Set up two-factor authentication (if applicable)
8. Make an initial deposit if you plan on playing for real money
9. Start playing!

Be aware that most casinos require you to verify your identity by providing additional documents, such as photo ID, either at signup or before you can make any withdrawals.
