Irish people have plenty of choice when it comes to an online casino

Online casinos are easily available in Ireland but when it comes to an actual live casino Ireland is not well served at all and by that is meant brick and mortar casinos rather than the live casino option which can be found at virtually any online casino. Many Irish people have an appetite for gambling which has been around for a long time and so it is really no surprise that since the advent of online casinos they have become more and more popular and following that more and more online casinos are becoming available. Many European countries have online casino play available but it is probably the most popular in the UK, Ireland and possibly surprising also in Scandinavia. With new online casinos popping up all the time it is important that Irish casino players keep their wits about them and make sure that the online casino they choose is at least honest. Irish casino players can try to do their own investigations about an online casino but as there is a casino portal which already exists and which investigates for them it seems to make sense simply to follow the recommendations made on that site. The site in question is simply called casinos.ie and they currently list no less than nine online casinos which players can choose. They are listed in an order of preference but that preference is of course subject to the individual whose opinion might well be different.

The important thing however is that all of the online casinos on the list are known to be correctly licensed and operated and are honest casinos. Licensing is an important issue and the license for an online casino needs to have been issued by a territory which is known to be good in the online gambling industry. Those territories include Malta, Gibraltar, Isle of Man and certain Channel Islands. It is advisable to avoid online casinos that claim to have a license issued from somewhere in South America for example. Another good sign for a good online casino is having a license issued by the UK Gambling Commission. This license is not essential for an online casino to operate anywhere in Europe which includes Ireland but it is a good sign of a well run online casino. A well as issuing the license to the online casinos the territories also draw up minimum operating standards which must be kept if the license is to be maintained. Another important factor in identifying a good online casino is to see which casino software is in use. It is a very long time ago that online casinos wrote and used their own casino software and it has now become a specialised business in its own right. There are quite a few casino software companies out there but the largest are Microgaming, NetEnt, Playtech and a reasonably new addition in Amanet. Some online casinos choose one of these to work with but others such as All Irish Casino prefer to have casino games from multiple casino software companies to give the customer an even greater choice. This is particularly useful in the area of casino slots where software providers such as Microgaming are well known for having the largest slots jackpots which regularly run into the several millions of Euro. Most casino software companies have slots jackpots so for instance NetEnt which is also used at All Irish Casino has slots with jackpots  of over a million Euro.

Amanet was mentioned as a new addition to the larger category of casino software suppliers but the holding company Amatic Industries has been in the gaming industry for many years and there is a good chance that you have played at one of their slot machines before without knowing it. This company has preciously concentrated on what we call cabinet style slots which can be found all over the place in clubs and actual casinos and many of the titles are extremely popular. It is only relatively recently that the company decided to diversify into online slots using the same titles. The greatest variety of casino slots from Amanet can be found at the online casino called CasinoCasino which is actually number 2 on the recommended list.

Apart from these two factors of licensing and casino software it is very much a matter of personal choice which of the nine to choose. There are large online casinos such as Paddy Power Casino which is a part of the larger Paddy Power group which offers all sorts of online gambling and there are specialists such as All Irish Casino which focuses on online casino play only. Then there is the question of how you are likely to be treated when you join and what sort of incentive you are likely to receive. The online casino business is as competitive as any and new customers are often treated better than existing customers but there are exceptions such as No Bonus casino and Freespins Casino. Neither of these offers a special bonus to new customers but instead prefers to have continuous offers and promotions available to all players. No Bonus Casino makes no secret of the fact that it does not offer bonuses but what it does have is the alternative of cash back if you lose. The promotion is very simple and says that if you make a deposit into your casino account on any day and play any of the casino games and are unlucky enough to lose everything in that deposit on that same day then 10% will be refunded the very next day. This promotion is available to all players on every deposit and one of the benefits is that unlike many casinos bonuses where the money goes into a bonus account which is not accessible until certain other requirements have been met, no bonus casino refunds directly into your playing account leaving you free to do with it as you wish which includes removing it from your account. Free spins Casino is similar in rewarding every player on every deposit but in this case the reward is free spins on a selection of casino slots.
