Over 18s Only

Online gambling is only permitted for persons aged 18 and over. The casinos we recommend carry out age and identity verification before processing any withdrawal. If you become aware of an underage person attempting to access these sites, please let us know at [email protected].

Warning Signs: When to Seek Help

Recognise the early indicators of problem gambling:

  • Spending more time or money on gambling than you can afford
  • Hiding gambling activity from family and friends
  • Using gambling as an escape from stress or personal problems
  • Losing control over your finances
  • Neglecting work, family or your health

If any of these ring true, reach out for professional support: 1800 936 9777 or problemgambling.ie.

Rules That Help

  • Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you can comfortably afford to spend.
  • Only play with surplus: Never use money earmarked for bills or daily living expenses.
  • Don't chase losses: Trying to win back what you've lost usually makes things worse.
  • Play with a clear head: Only gamble when you feel calm and in control.
  • Take breaks: Step away from the screen every 45–60 minutes.
  • Stay sober: Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Casino Tools

Most reputable casinos offer:

  • Deposit limits: Daily, weekly or monthly caps on how much you can deposit.
  • Session reminders: Notifications about the time and money you have spent.
  • Self-exclusion: Temporary or permanent blocks on your account access.
  • Activity review: Tools to review your playing habits and spending.
  • Reality check: Regular prompts showing how long you have been playing.
