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.
What a disastrous start to Cheltenham for the punters: 13 races run and only two favourites have come in and both of those for Ruby Walsh; only the bookmakers are happy; even their share prices rose yesterday, so what is going on? In the thirteen races we have had eleven different jockeys with winners; only B.J. Geraghty and Ruby Walsh have had two each. The winning odds have been exceptional, 12/1, 6/1, 33/1, 9/1, 25/1, 14/1, 7/1, 10/1, 10/1, 14/1, 40/1 and finally Ruby Walsh who has ridden two favourites to victory at 6/4 and 4/1 but look at Geraghty’s winners, 10/1 and 14/1. This seems to tell us that the arguably top jockeys Walsh, McCoy and Geraghty know more about picking winners than the bookmakers as they have 5 out of the 13 winners between them.

Happy St Patricks Day to all our readers and we have a story to make you laugh or maybe cry. Gambling laws or at least the enforcement of them seemed a little over the top in Idaho recently when an old folks home was raided by police to break up their Texas hold’em poker game which they had been holding on a weekly basis for around 5 years. Putting in only $20 each with the chip leaders sharing the spoils and even donating some of the winnings to the home, the old folk at Twin Falls Home had no idea they were breaking any laws however the police had a different view.

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.
