Ireland edition

Compare the games in euro — and the licence category separately.

This Irish edition puts RTP, volatility, bonus features and euro stake examples side by side without treating every gambling product as one licence. Ireland's new regulator is opening the regime in phases, so the correct check is the operator, the product and the current application stage.

GRAI licensing is being opened in phases

GRAI opened remote and in-person betting licence applications on 9 February 2026, with other licence types following the regulator's phased timetable. An application or notice of intent is not an approval for every casino product, so check the current category before any real-money play.
