Responsible Gambling

Gambling can be addictive. Always gamble only with money you can afford to lose. Set a budget before you play and stop when it is spent. Never chase losses and never gamble when upset, stressed or under the influence of alcohol. If gambling stops being fun, stop immediately and seek help.

All casinos listed on this site offer responsible gambling tools you should activate before playing:

• Deposit limits — Daily, weekly and monthly caps on how much you can deposit
• Loss limits — Cap your net losses over a defined period
• Session time limits — Auto-logout after a set duration
• Reality checks — Pop-up notifications showing elapsed time and net win/loss
• Self-exclusion — Temporary (24 hours to 6 months) or permanent account closure
• Cooling-off periods — Short breaks from play

Activating deposit limits before your first deposit is strongly recommended.

Seek help if you recognise any of these warning signs:

• Gambling with money needed for bills, rent or food
• Chasing losses — continuing to play to win back what you have lost
• Lying to family or friends about gambling activity
• Neglecting work, school or family responsibilities because of gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, depressed or irritable when not gambling
• Increasing the size of bets to get the same excitement

The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) is being established under the Gambling Regulation Act 2024 to license and regulate operators targeting Irish customers, set advertising standards, and provide player protections. Until fully operational, Irish players using offshore casinos are advised to verify licences independently on the issuing authority's public registry.

You must be 18 or over to gamble in Ireland. If you are concerned about a young person gambling, contact the National Gambling Helpline on Freephone 1800 936 725.
