Frequently Asked Questions

Is online casino play legal in Ireland?

Yes. Irish players may play at licensed online casinos, and the sector is being brought under the Gambling Regulation Act with the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland taking over oversight. Operators listed here hold licences from recognised regulators.

How do you decide the order of the list?

By the criteria set out on our About Us page: licensing, withdrawal speed, realistic bonus terms, payment options, game range and support. Rankings are reviewed as offers change, so the order is not fixed.

Does an operator pay to be ranked first?

No. We earn commission when a player signs up through our links, which is set out in our Disclosure, but payment does not buy a position. Operators that stop meeting our standards are removed regardless of what they pay.

Do I get a worse deal by using your links?

No. The offer is the same as going direct, and sometimes better where we have negotiated an exclusive. You never pay extra.

What should I check before accepting a bonus?

Four things decide whether a bonus is worth taking: the wagering multiple, which games count towards it and at what percentage, the maximum you can withdraw from it, and the expiry window. A large headline bonus at 50x wagering is usually worth less than a smaller one at 25x.

How long do withdrawals take?

It varies by operator and method. E-wallets are typically fastest, card withdrawals take longer, and bank transfers longest. First withdrawals also require identity verification, which adds time. Completing that check early avoids a delay when you actually want to cash out.

Why do I have to verify my identity?

Licensed operators are legally required to confirm your identity and age. It is a sign the operator is following the rules, not a stalling tactic.

Where can I get help with problem gambling?

Free, confidential support is available in Ireland at GamblingCare.ie. Set a budget before you play, never chase losses, and use the deposit limits and self-exclusion tools every licensed operator provides.
