Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about online gambling in Ireland, bonuses, payments, and law.
Look for casinos licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), or Gibraltar Regulatory Authority. All casinos on our list are independently verified and hold at least one of these licences. Check for SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, and clear terms before registering.
Laws vary by country. In the UK and many EU countries, online gambling is legal when using licensed operators. Always check your local regulations. We only list licensed casinos.
Focus on licensing, withdrawal speed, game selection, customer support responsiveness, bonus terms (especially wagering requirements), and responsible gambling tools. Our reviews cover all of these areas using a standardised methodology with real-money testing.
A wagering requirement means you must bet your bonus a certain number of times before withdrawing winnings. For example, a EUR100 bonus with a 30x requirement means you must wager EUR3,000 before cashing out. We always display the wagering requirement clearly on every listing.
A deposit bonus matches a percentage of your deposit (e.g., 100% up to EUR200). Free spins are credited to play on specific slots, with winnings subject to wagering. Many welcome packages combine both. Always read the full terms.
Yes. There is nothing stopping you from registering at multiple licensed casinos and claiming their welcome bonuses. However, make sure you understand the terms at each casino and only play within your means.
Most licensed casinos accept Visa and Mastercard debit cards, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Trustly, and Paysafecard. Cryptocurrency is available at a growing number of operators. We list accepted methods in every review.
E-wallets (PayPal, Skrill, Neteller) typically process within 24 hours. Debit cards take 1-3 business days. Bank transfers can take 3-5 business days. KYC verification must be complete before a first withdrawal.
Most licensed casinos do not charge deposit fees. Some charge small withdrawal fees depending on the method. Always check the casino's banking page. Third-party processors may also apply their own fees.
Every legitimate casino displays its licence number in the footer. You can verify the licence on the regulator's public register. If a casino refuses to provide licence information, do not register.
Licensed operators must offer deposit limits, session time limits, loss limits, reality checks, and self-exclusion. GamStop is the self-exclusion scheme for UKGC-licensed sites. Players can also self-exclude via individual operators.
GamStop is a free UK self-exclusion scheme. Once registered, you are excluded from all UKGC-licensed operators for your chosen period.
In the UK, gambling winnings are generally not subject to income tax for recreational players. Rules vary by country; check your local tax authority.
The legal minimum age is 18 years. Licensed operators must implement age verification during registration. Anyone under 18 will have their account closed and funds returned.
