We read the terms behind every casino offer shown to players in Ireland and turn them into two numbers:
- Playthrough € — the total you must stake before bonus money, or winnings from spins, can be withdrawn.
- Win Ceiling € — the most you can ever cash out from the offer, whatever you win.
- Read the Irish terms As a visitor in Ireland sees them, in the Irish version of the site.
- Keep a dated screenshot The page text and a screenshot, with the date we captured them.
- Turn the terms into euros Playthrough € and Win Ceiling €, by the formula below.
- Re-check on a schedule A row past its re-check date is marked overdue, never quietly re-dated.
What we do not do
We do not open accounts, deposit, accept free play from operators or test payouts. Nothing on this site is "tested". The method is the part you can check: every number links to the terms it comes from and shows the date we captured them.
Where each number comes from
Every row carries its source, the date we captured it and an evidence level:
- B-op The Irish terms and limits confirmed in writing by the operator's affiliate manager.
- B The operator's published terms, offer or payments page in its Irish version, with a dated screenshot kept.
- C A secondary source, or a version of the terms seen outside Ireland. Level C rows are shown for context but never counted as a genuine offer.
If an operator does not publish a limit, the table says "not published". For a player that is a fact too. When the missing figure is the value of a spin, the offer has no euro value and no Playthrough €, and the row shows a dash where the figure would be — we don't guess one.
Where we read the terms
Casinos show different offers, and sometimes different terms, depending on the country you visit from. We read them through an Irish internet connection, so we see what a visitor in Ireland sees, in the Irish version of the site where there is one, and keep the page text and a screenshot with the date. A row whose terms we could only see in another country's version stays at level C and is never counted as a genuine offer for Ireland.
The formula
Playthrough € is what you receive multiplied by the wagering. Spins are valued at their face value: the number of spins times the value of each spin that the terms set. When the wagering applies to deposit plus bonus, the deposit counts too:
- bonus or spin winnings × wagering;
- (deposit + bonus) × wagering, when the terms say so.
No wagering means a Playthrough of €0. A Win Ceiling can still apply.
The sum is worked through for every offer a €10 deposit unlocks on the 10 euro deposit page, and for the spins marketed as free on the no deposit bonus page.
No wagering casino offers
An offer counts as no wagering when nothing has to be bet again before its winnings can be withdrawn, so its Playthrough € is zero. We still show its Win Ceiling, because a casino can drop the wagering and keep a cap on what you take out. An offer that needs a deposit is not free, even with no wagering. The current list is on the no-deposit page, under keep what you win: no-wagering offers.
Rules the rows can't hold
Some of what decides an offer does not fit in a number column: a withdrawal cap tied to your first deposit, a single bet that counts as "irregular play" well below the published maximum, a week to claim a bonus and two months to use it. We quote those clauses word for word, with the date we read them, on each casino's page and on the pages where they bite.
How often we re-check
No-deposit offers every 14 days; a row older than 21 days is marked for re-check. Welcome offers every month (45 days at most); payment minimums every quarter (100 days at most). Every change is logged with its date.
The word "free"
We only call an offer free when you do not have to risk any of your own money. Spins you get for a deposit are never described as free here.
How we choose casinos
We list only casinos we have a partner link with, and the "Visit" button on each is that link; we may earn a commission. A casino without a link is left out until it has one, so the tables do not cover every casino that takes players from Ireland. A partner link never changes a number or the order of a table.
Found a number that is out of date? Write to editorial@irishcasinolens.com. We check it against the operator's terms, correct the row, and the change log on the casino's page shows the old value, the new one and the date.
Why we count in euros, not ×
A wagering requirement written as "35×" asks you to do the sum yourself. Most people get it wrong. In a randomised trial run by the Behavioural Insights Team in December 2023, 4,012 adults in the UK who gamble were shown a slot advert with a bonus and a wagering requirement in the small print. Seven in ten could not work out how much they would need to bet; when the requirement applied to the deposit plus the bonus, almost nine in ten could not. Most of those who got it wrong underestimated the amount (BIT, April 2024).
The researchers' answer was to stop leaning on the multiplier: they proposed dropping the term "wagering requirements" and making operators describe, in plain words, what has to be bet before a withdrawal. The regulator for Great Britain explains its own rules the same way — as the total a player must stake — and from 19 January 2026 it capped wagering on bonuses there at ten times (Gambling Commission).
No such cap applies to the casino offers shown to players in Ireland, so we do the sum ourselves. Playthrough € is that sum: the multiplier turned into euros, next to the Win Ceiling that decides how much of it you can ever keep.
