Find Ireland's Best Online Casinos

Yes, online gambling is legal in Ireland. Irish players can legally access and play at online casinos licensed by reputable international gambling authorities. However, Irish regulation is evolving, and we recommend playing only at licensed sites that accept Irish players.

The legal gambling age in Ireland is 18 years old. All reputable online casinos require age verification and will not allow anyone under 18 to register or gamble. It is illegal for minors to participate in gambling activities.

Elite IE Casino conducts thorough, independent reviews of each casino. Our expert team evaluates licensing and regulation, game selection and software providers, bonus offers and wagering requirements, payment methods and withdrawal speeds, customer support quality, mobile compatibility, and overall user experience. We only recommend casinos that meet our strict standards for safety, fairness, and quality.

Legitimate online casinos display their license information in the footer of their website. You can verify the license by visiting the regulator's website (such as the Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission, or Curaçao eGaming) and searching for the casino operator. Always check the license before registering.

Irish players have access to various secure payment methods including Visa and Mastercard credit/debit cards, e-wallets like PayPal, Skrill, and Neteller, bank transfers, and prepaid cards like Paysafecard. Many casinos also accept payments in euros, which is convenient for Irish players. Always choose licensed casinos that use SSL encryption for secure transactions.

Withdrawal times vary by casino and payment method. E-wallets are typically fastest (24-48 hours), credit/debit cards take 3-5 business days, and bank transfers can take 5-7 business days. Reputable casinos process withdrawals promptly after completing verification checks. First withdrawals may take longer due to identity verification requirements.

Yes, self-exclusion options are available. Most licensed casinos offer self-exclusion tools allowing you to block your account for a set period. You can also register with the National Self-Exclusion Scheme or contact individual casinos directly. For complete exclusion across multiple platforms, consider using third-party blocking software like GamBan or contact Gambling Care Ireland for assistance.
