What Do We Do

We Analyse Online Casinos & Sportsbooks

We analyse online casinos and sportsbooks every day for hours. From bonuses to user experience, we look under every stone for each brand to help you make informed choices. Each casino and sportsbook is researched for at least 6 hours before they can pass our criteria.

missing alt

We Create User-Friendly & Independent Listings

After analyzing hundreds of operators that have passed our rating criteria, we give them scores and add them to our independent listings, like the best online casinos and best sports betting sites. We know that gamblers seek specific categories, so we divide each operator into the 56 most searched categories and present them in our main menu for easy navigation.

We Equip Our Visitors With Gambling Knowledge

Online gambling is a sensitive topic, and there is a lot of misinformation out there especially targeting uneducated gamblers. To prevent Irish gamblers from getting scammed and running into surprises, we've created the Irishluck Learning Hub to compile all guides & resources into one place, presented to our visitors at no cost.

How Do We Do It

We take pride in being independent, and that means adhering to strict processes while we do each aspect of our job to stay unbiased. A huge part of those standardized processes are called rating guidelines & editorial principles.

missing alt

Our Rating Guidelines

Rating Guidelines are a set of criteria that we expect every casino & sportsbook to pass before they can be listed on our website. These criteria include safety & security checks, games & software variety, bonus quality & amount, payment method variety, customer support availability, and much more.

responsible gambling pledge irishluck online casinos ireland

At Irishluck.ie, we take responsible gambling seriously to protect the mental & physical health of Irish players who play at online casinos & bookies through us. That's why we have created The Irishluck Responsible Gambling Center to educate players on this critical topic. We never list operators that don't support responsible gambling for their players, and we try to teach our visitors how to be aware of such practices.

We Only List Licensed Providers

We always make sure that we are only promoting licensed operators. For now, the Irish market is not regulated when it comes to online casinos. For bookmakers, though, we make sure to only inform you about the ones who hold a license in Ireland. We aim to be 100% compliant, so we make sure to do thorough checks and stay up to date with gambling legislation.

You can check out how to feature your casino on our website if you're a provider.
