Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you open an account through one, the operator may pay CasinoCraic. The payment depends on your action; the size of any deposit or loss is irrelevant. This page explains exactly how that relationship works and how it is kept away from the editorial judgements you read.

We publish this because you should know when money can shape what appears. The rules on this page apply to every commercial listing and every review. If you want to know who runs the site, start on the about us page.

What an affiliate link is

When you click an affiliate link, the operator records that you arrived from CasinoCraic. If you then register, the operator may pay us a referral fee. The fee is paid by the operator, and it never comes out of your deposit or your winnings. Your account terms stay the same and you do not pay a surcharge.

No reader pays more because a link is an affiliate link. We do not quote current promotions anywhere on the site, so no page presents an offer as editorial fact.

What the money does not buy

Affiliate payments can fund the site. They do not reach the parts of the work that produce scores and written judgements.

• A score. Our transparency ratings follow the public registers alone.
• A position. The comparison table is a paid placement and is labelled as such.
• The removal of a criticism. If a register check raises a problem, the text says so.
• The exclusion of an operator we are not paid by. Unpaid operators can still appear in editorial coverage.

That separation is also written into our editorial guidelines.

Where the comparison table comes from

The comparison table on commercial pages is a commercial placement. It is supplied and ordered separately from the editorial scoring. The table’s order sits apart from the editorial transparency score, and the two should be read separately.

Our transparency score is editorial and follows a fixed rubric. It is built from the public registers and dated. We did not deposit, withdraw or count a lobby, so the score says nothing about payout speed or game choice.

The site labels the table so you can see that split without searching for it.

Why we disclose

Affiliate relationships can shape what gets shown on the internet. Disclosure lets you weigh that when you look at a table or a link. We state it plainly so you do not have to guess.

The Irish context strengthens the case. The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland expects licensees to advertise honestly and not mislead. Irish consumer protection law also has a general duty not to mislead. We apply the same standard to our own pages.

A few fixed facts matter on this page.

• Age limit 18 and over for all gambling.
• Credit cards Banned for gambling in Ireland since 5 February 2026.
• Irish gaming licences None issued; the GRAI register held none on 6 October 2026.
• Helpline National Gambling Helpline 1800 936 725, free and confidential, 24 hours.

What this means for you

The practical steps are the same for every page on this site. Open the operator’s footer and find the company behind the casino. Check that company in the public register at grai.ie. If the casino runs on an overseas licence, read the terms before you sign up.

Treat any ranking as a starting point. The editorial score is a transparency rating from public registers, separate from any play-quality judgement. You can see the full commercial table on the online casinos page, and you can read safer-play guidance on the responsible gambling page.
