Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about online casinos
How do I claim a welcome bonus?
Most casinos automatically credit your bonus after your first deposit. Simply create an account, make your first deposit, and the bonus will be added to your account. Some casinos may require you to enter a bonus code during registration or deposit. Always check the specific terms for each casino, as minimum deposit requirements and bonus codes can vary.
Are online casinos safe?
Yes, online casinos are safe if they hold a valid Irish regulatory license. We only review licensed operators that use SSL encryption to protect your personal and financial data. Licensed casinos must adhere to strict regulations regarding fair play, responsible gambling, and player protection. Always verify a casino's license before creating an account.
How fast are withdrawals?
Withdrawal times vary significantly depending on the payment method and casino. E-wallets like PayPal, Skrill, and Neteller typically process within 24 hours, sometimes instantly. Credit and debit cards usually take 3-5 business days, while bank transfers can take 5-7 business days. Some casinos offer instant withdrawals for verified accounts using specific methods.
Can I play on mobile?
Yes, all reviewed casinos offer mobile-optimized websites or dedicated apps. Most games work seamlessly on smartphones and tablets, with responsive designs that adapt to different screen sizes. Some casinos offer native apps for iOS and Android, while others provide instant play through mobile browsers. The gaming experience is typically identical to desktop versions.
What is a wagering requirement?
A wagering requirement is the number of times you must bet your bonus amount before you can withdraw winnings. For example, a 35x requirement on a £100 bonus means you must wager £3,500. Different games contribute different percentages toward wagering requirements - slots typically contribute 100%, while table games may contribute less. Always read the terms carefully to understand the requirements.
Can I use multiple welcome bonuses?
No, welcome bonuses are typically only available once per player, household, and IP address. However, many casinos offer ongoing promotions and reload bonuses for existing customers. These can include weekly bonuses, cashback offers, free spins, and VIP rewards. Check each casino's promotions page for current offers available to existing players.
What payment methods are accepted?
Most Irish casinos accept credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard), e-wallets (PayPal, Skrill, Neteller), bank transfers, and increasingly, digital payment methods like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Some casinos also accept cryptocurrencies. Payment method availability varies by casino, so check each casino's banking page for specific options.
Are casino games fair?
Yes, games from licensed Irish casinos are fair. All games use Random Number Generators (RNG) that are regularly tested by independent auditing companies. Licensed casinos must display their RTP (Return to Player) percentages, and these are verified by regulatory bodies. Irish regulatory authorities require strict testing and certification of all gaming software.
What is responsible gambling?
Responsible gambling means gambling in a way that is safe, controlled, and doesn't cause harm. Licensed Irish casinos must provide tools like deposit limits, time limits, loss limits, and self-exclusion options. They also provide links to support organizations like GambleAware and GamCare. Always set limits, never chase losses, and seek help if gambling becomes a problem.
Can I play for free?
Many casinos offer demo or practice modes for slot games, allowing you to play for free without real money. However, table games and live casino typically require real money deposits. Free play is a great way to try games before wagering real money, but remember that you cannot win real money in demo mode.
