Important: IrelandRoots.com is not an online casino, gambling operator, payment processor, or financial institution. We do not offer, facilitate, or conduct any gambling activities. We do not accept deposits, process withdrawals, or hold customer funds. We do not provide financial, legal, or tax advice. All decisions to gamble are made solely by you at your own risk and discretion.
4. Affiliate Disclosure
IrelandRoots.com is an affiliate website. This means that we participate in affiliate marketing programmes with certain online casino operators. When you click on certain links on our Website (typically "Visit Casino", "Claim Bonus", or similar call-to-action buttons) and subsequently register or make a deposit at the linked casino, we may receive a commission from that casino operator.
You should be aware of the following regarding our affiliate relationships:
- No additional cost to you: Clicking an affiliate link and registering at a casino through our Website does not cost you anything extra. You receive the same bonuses, terms, and experience as if you had visited the casino directly.
- Affiliate commissions may influence placement: The order in which casinos appear on our Website, including their position in lists and comparison tables, may be influenced by commercial considerations including affiliate commission rates. However, our editorial ratings and review scores are determined independently by our review methodology and are not influenced by affiliate relationships.
- Not all links are affiliate links: Some links on our Website are standard editorial links that do not generate any commission. We include non-affiliate links to regulatory bodies, support organisations, and other informational resources.
- Editorial independence: Our affiliate relationships do not influence the substance of our reviews, our editorial ratings, or our recommendations. We will never recommend a casino that we consider unsafe, regardless of the commercial terms available. We do not accept payment for positive reviews.

6. Accuracy of Information
We make every reasonable effort to ensure that the information published on this Website is accurate, current, and complete. Our editorial team regularly reviews and updates content, and our reviews reflect real-money testing conducted by our reviewers.
However, the online gambling industry is fast-moving, and information can change rapidly. Casino bonuses, terms and conditions, payment methods, licensing status, and other details are subject to change by the operators at any time, often without prior notice. Accordingly:
- We cannot guarantee that all information on this Website is accurate, complete, or current at any given moment.
- Bonus amounts, wagering requirements, and promotional terms displayed on our Website are indicative and may differ from the terms currently offered by the casino operator. Always check the operator's website for the most up-to-date terms before registering or depositing.
- Casino ratings reflect our assessment at the time of review or most recent update. A casino's quality of service may change after our review was published.
- Regulatory information, including details about the GRAI, gambling legislation, and licensing requirements, is provided for informational purposes only and should not be treated as legal advice. Consult a qualified legal professional for advice on gambling law.
- Payment method availability and processing times may vary depending on your bank, payment provider, location, and other factors beyond our control.
We disclaim all liability for any loss or damage arising from reliance on information published on this Website. The information we provide is for general informational and educational purposes only and should not be construed as professional advice of any kind.
7. Gambling Disclaimer
This is arguably the most important section of these Terms. Gambling involves real financial risk. You should be fully aware of the following before engaging in any form of gambling:
- You can lose money. Online casino games are designed to favour the house over the long term. There is no system, strategy, or method that guarantees winning. Past results do not predict future outcomes.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never gamble with money that you need for essential expenses such as rent, bills, food, or debt repayments.
- Gambling is not a source of income. Do not treat gambling as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Gambling should be treated as a form of entertainment.
- Set limits before you play. Decide in advance how much money and time you are willing to spend, and stick to those limits. Most reputable online casinos offer deposit limit and self-exclusion tools.
- Gambling can be addictive. If you feel that gambling is no longer enjoyable, if you are chasing losses, or if gambling is causing stress or financial difficulty, please seek help immediately.
IrelandRoots.com does not encourage, promote, or facilitate problem gambling. We are committed to responsible gambling and provide links to support organisations including GamblingCare.ie, Problem Gambling Ireland, and the Samaritans (116 123). For more information, please visit our Responsible Gambling page.
We are not responsible for any financial losses incurred through gambling at any casino or gambling service linked from this Website. Your decision to gamble is entirely your own, and you bear full responsibility for the consequences of that decision.

The inclusion of a link to a third-party site does not imply our endorsement of that site or its content (except insofar as our editorial reviews expressly recommend certain casinos based on our review criteria).
When you click a link to a third-party website, you leave IrelandRoots.com and are subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of that third-party site. We strongly recommend that you read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information or making financial transactions.
