Affiliate Disclosure & Editorial Integrity Policy

At IrelandCasino.ie, our primary goal is to provide Irish players with accurate, safe, and up-to-date information about online casinos. To do this effectively while keeping our platform 100% free for users, we must be completely transparent about how our business operates and how we protect our editorial independence.

1. Affiliate Disclosure: How We Fund Our Site

IrelandCasino.ie is a for-profit business that operates on an affiliate marketing model. This means we partner with the online casinos and gambling operators featured on our site.

• What this means for you: When you click on a link from our website to a casino and register or make a deposit, we may earn a commission from that operator.
• Zero cost to the user: This referral commission is paid entirely by the casino operator. It does not affect the bonuses you receive, the odds of the games you play, or any fees associated with your account. In many cases, using our links grants you access to exclusive promotions that are better than standard market offers.
• Regulated partners only: We only enter into commercial agreements with operators that hold legitimate gambling licenses (such as those from the Malta Gaming Authority, the UK Gambling Commission, or the Irish Revenue Commissioners) and adhere to strict regulatory standards.

2. Editorial Integrity: The “Firewall” Between Content and Commerce

While we have financial relationships with casino operators, our commercial partnerships do not dictate our editorial content. We maintain a strict “firewall” between our partnership team and our content/review team.

Our editorial integrity is governed by the following strict rules:

• No Pay-for-Play Ratings: A casino cannot buy a higher rating or a better review. Advertising fees only secure placement on our site; they do not buy our opinion.
• Honest Appraisals: If an operator has an excellent game library but restrictive withdrawal limits or poor customer service, our reviews will highlight both the positive and negative aspects clearly.
• The Right to Demote or Delist: If a previously recommended casino changes its terms to be predatory, loses its license, or consistently fails to pay players on time, we will lower its rating, place it on our blacklist, or remove it from our site entirely regardless of any existing commercial agreements.

3. Our Review Methodology: How We Evaluate Casinos

To ensure our recommendations are objective and trustworthy, our experts evaluate every casino against a standardized set of criteria before publishing a review:

• Security & Licensing: We verify that the casino uses active SSL encryption and holds a valid license from a recognized regulatory body. If a site is unlicensed, it is not reviewed.
• Fairness of Terms (T&Cs): We read the fine print. We penalize casinos that hide predatory wagering requirements, restrictive maximum win caps, or unfair account inactivity fees.
• Banking & Payout Speeds: We test deposit and withdrawal methods specifically available to players in Ireland, ranking sites higher for fast, fee-free payouts and reliable banking options.
• Customer Support: We interact with the casino’s support team anonymously to test their response times, helpfulness, and availability (e.g., 24/7 Live Chat).
• Game Variety & Software: We assess the quality of the game lobby, ensuring it features provably fair games from reputable software providers.

4. Your Feedback Matters

Our editorial team works diligently to keep all information up to date, but the iGaming industry moves quickly. If you experience an issue with a casino we recommend, or if you find a discrepancy between our review and the casino’s current terms, please contact us. Your real-world experiences help us hold operators accountable and keep our community safe.
