How We Rate

What we rate and why

We rate online casinos using a clear, rule-based framework. Our aim is to help you compare options without hype. You get straightforward, practical information about safety, value, and play experience.

Our review process

Our team researches the market, tests sites, and gathers data from trusted sources. We combine hands-on checks with verified information to produce a transparent score and rating that we publish.

User experience and brand reputation

User feedback matters. We consider past experiences and how brands respond to players. We invite you to share your own experiences to help others understand the overall view.

Pricing and promotions

We note the quality of offers, wagering terms, and the overall value you get. Where possible we show the real cost of playing and what terms you may need to meet.

Features and accessibility

We look at game variety, software quality, mobile compatibility, live dealer options, withdrawal speed, and accessibility features that matter to players in Ireland.

Security, licensing and compliance

Licensing status and regulatory safeguards are part of our rating. We verify the licensing authority and ensure basic protections for players. We also reference our Responsible Gaming page for broader context, and we align with GRAI guidelines where appropriate.

Advertising and independence

We may earn advertising fees from some brands we review. This does not affect our independence or the ratings we publish. Our methodology and sources remain the basis for rankings. See our Terms of Use for details.

How to use our ratings

Use the comparison tools to filter by country, game type, payments, and bonus offers. Check the criteria behind each rating and read the terms before you take up an offer.
