About DublinBettingGuide
Editorial team
DublinBettingGuide is run by a small, dedicated editorial team with deep roots in the Irish iGaming sector. Our Compliance & Payments Editor, Aoife Murphy, oversees all content related to online casino ireland reviews, payment methods, and regulatory updates. Aoife brings over a decade of experience in Irish gambling compliance, having previously worked with licensed operators and the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) consultation processes. She ensures every review of brands like NetBet, 24Casino, PlayOJO, BetVictor, and Novibet meets our strict editorial standards.
The wider team includes researchers, data analysts, and a fact-checker who specialise in Irish gambling law, payment systems, and player safety. We do not employ guest writers or accept sponsored content. Every piece of content on DublinBettingGuide is written by an Irish-based editor who understands the nuances of the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956 and the incoming Gambling Regulation Act 2025. Our editorial independence means we never allow operators to influence what we publish. See also about online casino ireland editorial team.
Methodology summary
Our methodology for reviewing online casino ireland sites is built on transparency and rigour. We assess each operator against five core pillars: licensing and regulation, payment options, game fairness, customer support, and responsible gambling tools. For example, when we reviewed NetBet and 24Casino, we tested their deposit and withdrawal processes using common Irish payment methods like Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. We also verified whether they accept Trustly and Skrill, as these are widely used by Irish players. See also irish casino editorial team.
We check each operator’s licence with the GRAI or, where applicable, the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). We do not recommend unlicensed sites. For responsible gambling, we look for operator-level self-exclusion tools, deposit limits, and time-out features, as Ireland does not yet have a national self-exclusion register. We also verify that operators prominently display the GamblingCare Ireland helpline (1800 936 725) and link to gamblingcare.ie. Our scoring is weighted: 30% for trust and security, 25% for payment efficiency, 20% for game variety, 15% for customer support, and 10% for responsible gambling features. Each review is updated at least every six months. See also irish casino review process.
We test all operators from an Irish player’s perspective, using EUR deposits and Irish addresses. For BetVictor and Novibet, we also evaluated their mobile apps on iOS and Android, noting that Apple Pay and Google Pay are widely supported. We do not accept free bets or bonuses in exchange for positive reviews. If an operator refuses to provide clear terms, we note that as a red flag. All data is collected between the 1st and 15th of each month, and we publish the date of last review in every article. See also Hearth and Home Casino Review.
Funding and independence
DublinBettingGuide is funded primarily through affiliate commissions. When a reader clicks a link on our site and signs up at an operator like NetBet, 24Casino, PlayOJO, BetVictor, or Novibet, we may earn a fee. This does not affect our editorial independence. We maintain a strict firewall between our commercial team and our editorial team. No operator can pay for a favourable review, a higher ranking, or inclusion in a list. Our affiliate relationships are disclosed in our terms of use and on each review page. See also Citizens Information on gambling.
We are not owned by any gambling operator, advertising network, or media conglomerate. Our sole shareholder is a private Irish holding company registered in Dublin. All revenue is reinvested into the site: paying our editorial staff, funding independent research, and covering hosting and compliance costs. We do not accept direct advertising from gambling brands, nor do we sell banner space. This structure ensures that our content remains free from commercial pressure. Our independence is audited annually by an external compliance firm, and the results are published on our transparency page.
Our editorial team has full control over what we publish. No operator has ever been allowed to preview a review before publication. If a brand disputes a finding, they may submit a formal complaint to our editorial director, but the final decision rests with Aoife Murphy. We also reserve the right to remove any operator from our recommended list if they change their terms, lose their licence, or receive multiple player complaints. We have done so twice in the past three years.
