How We Reviews Online Casinos

Sportego offers honest online casino reviews that are based on data and research. We aim to make it easy for you to find the best online casinos in Ireland.

How We Prepare Reviews

Sportego prepares a review in three steps:

1. Gathering information

2.Testing casino’s  website 

3. Professional evaluation

We collect data from over 75 websites and review 14 online casinos monthly. We compare each casino with its competitors to find what makes it special.

Key Factors in Assessing Irish Online Casinos

We look at each online casino from different angles to give our readers a clear and complete picture. Below are the important factors that we take into account when preparing our reviews.

Licensing and security

Every Irish online casino featured on Sportego holds a valid gambling license. This could be a license from Malta or Curacao Gaming Authority or the Irish Betting License issued by Revenue Commissioners for sports betting sites. We also check for security measures like data encryption, SSL certificates, and firewalls and investigate the casino’s history, ownership, and launch date. Furthermore, we carefully read the Terms and Conditions to find potential player disadvantages and pay close attention to game providers to ensure fair play.

Casino reputation based on players’ feedback

Feedback from players is vital in our casino assessments. We carefully examine reviews from Irish and global sites, highlighting both the pros and cons of online casinos, including potential scams. In other words, we consider both positive and negative feedback when ranking online casinos.

Deposits & Withdrawals

We test multiple payment methods on each casino site. Excellent online casinos typically provide various payment options, including Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Neteller, Skrill, and bank transfers. Nowadays, cryptocurrencies are gaining popularity among players, which we view as an added benefit given that the casino is licensed and operates within the law. The more payment methods an online casino offers, the better it is for players.

Other important factors in this category include the minimum deposit, cash-out limits, and withdrawal fees. The best casinos often have no fees for deposits and withdrawals, or they are very minimal. Any applicable charges should be clearly stated on the casino’s website. Additionally, we consider how quickly winnings are paid out. The faster the process, the more valuable the casino is to us. However, it’s important to note that payout speed can vary and that depends on the players’ chosen withdrawal methods.

Games & software

The games a casino offers are a crucial part of our evaluation. We want to see various Vegas-style games, including slots, classic table games, live dealers, and unique games. Casinos with famous games from companies like Bally, IGT, and NetEnt get better ratings from us. Accessibility is also important. We prefer casinos that offer mobile and instant-play options, even if they still have downloadable games.

Sportsbook 

Many top-notch online casinos also provide a sportsbook for those who enjoy sports betting. This sportsbook should include a wide range of both traditional international and local sports events, along with virtual sports and esports. Bookmakers that offer diverse markets usually rank higher in our assessments. Furthermore, as more people want to bet during games and watch live streams, we expect the top online casinos to provide live betting choices and streaming services. Another crucial point to note, betting odds can differ between bookmakers because they assess risk differently. Highly-rated online casinos on Sportego typically offer better odds for customers.

Bonuses and Promotions

We check if casinos offer the generosity they claim in their welcome bonuses. We also look at promotions for existing customers, including things like free spins, reload bonuses, cashback deals, friend referral bonuses, better odds, risk-free bets, and more. 

To avoid being misled by ad promises, make sure to carefully read the Terms and Conditions and pay attention to wagering requirements.

User-friendly design

Players usually prefer websites that care about their well-being and aim to offer a pleasant and easy experience on the casino site. The website should be user-friendly, allowing players to find information quickly without technical problems.

Mobile devices

Since many Irish gamblers use smartphones for online casinos, these sites need to work well on mobile devices. Sportego checks how everything looks on phones and tablets, making sure it’s easy to use. We also see if there are any differences between the computer and phone versions. A great betting site should have a mobile version that’s just as good as the computer one or an app that works on Android and iOS. Some casinos even have special features just in their apps.

Customer Service

We want you to get help ASAP at the casinos you choose. That is why we look for casinos that have 24/7 support, multiple ways to contact them, and agents who speak

different languages. But it’s not just about having support; it needs to be quick and useful. That’s why Sportego checks how fast your customer support replies and what they suggest to do. We also check if there’s help before you even sign up and special assistance for VIP players.
