Welcome to Onlinecasino.ie where we report on a daily basis what is going on in the world of online casino entertainment and other online gaming. We publish pieces about all manner of things which we think might be of interest to the Irish gambling public including such things as new casino games, financial news, legislation and responsible and safe gambling. Log in every day and see what is going on and join us with comments and reactions. In recent years it seems that a new online casino opens every day, there are certainly more than is healthy at the moment so how do you know where to go to have fun and remain safe? That is where we come in by doing our best to keep you in touch Before a new online casino goes live they seek contact with websites who are willing to promote them and go into partnership with them. Those websites are called affiliates, a term you will often come across in the travel world. It is similar to an agency arrangement but a bit more exclusive.

Online versus high street shops

by admin on February 8, 2010, 8:35

We have always advocated having more than one account for online casinos as there are different games going on at each and your luck can easily change when switching from one casino to another but it is also true for sports betting as a recent letter confirmed. The letter was from a gentleman who went to a bookmakers shop every week to place his bets on football as well as other sports but recently during the bad weather when getting out was difficult converted to online gambling through this site. In his own words he was horrified to find out that the odds on his football coupon at the shop were less than he could get online and on one accumulator bet the difference was in the order of 20% and even the online sites could have substantial differences.

Deal or No Deal at Ladbrokes

by admin on February 7, 2010, 8:38

Deal or No Deal, the ever popular TV game has been going for several years and continues to grab the imagination of many people but now you too can take part by logging onto Ladbrokes and you will find it under the “games” banner. The game is very similar to the TV version except there are 26 boxes instead of 22 and the maximum prize depends upon your initial stake.  To play the game first select your stake and then select your box. Having done this you can also place side bets as to what you think your box will contain. [click to continue…]

It is 6 Nations time again for Rubgy Union fans

February 4, 2010, 7 53

The 6 nations Rugby starts again on Saturday February 6th with a couple of interesting ties to get the tournament going. Ireland host Italy at Croke Park which should be nothing more than a warm up match for the home side, certainly it has little value from a betting perspective with Ireland being 1/50. England [...]

In Play betting can be good for the punter.

February 3, 2010, 7 35

One of the big advantages of online gambling is that placing your bets is more or less instant and several online bookmakers have woken up to this fact and are now offering “In Play” betting opportunities.

There are two kinds of websites in existence; those that promote absolutely any online casino that asks and those that take online gaming seriously and have a number of criteria which an online casino must fulfil before any partnership can be formed. Our site belongs in the second category. We have a number of criteria that will determine whether a casino will be part of our homepage or not. The financial aspect of which is a very minor role. If you link through us to a casino online we derive an income (paid by the casino, not by you) which allows us to keep our site up to date with the latest news , actions and tips and we can also get involved in any conflict with the casino that you are unable to resolve. This last item is luckily very infrequent but that is partly due to the parameters that we set before we do business with a casino online.

We are in regular contact with our partners about their offerings; for example is there a free casino option where players can try out free casino games and familiarize themselves with the game rules. Nearly every casino online offers free casino play but some take it more seriously than others. The free casino play should emulate the real play as closely as possible and the free casino games should only offer the same chance of winning as in real play. We look at how easy it is to deposit cash and more importantly how easy it is to get your winnings out and how long it takes. If it is more than 48 hours we are unlikely to do business. We look at the total offering of casino games as well as the graphics but also how well the casino games are explained and whether there is a teaching page. We look for an option of flash or instant casinos where there is no download required which some prefer. All in all we try to give you the best experience possible and you can help us by clicking through and registering with your favourite casino online.
