How We Review Bitcoin Casinos for Players in Ireland
By Eoin Fahy · Updated 7 October 2026
The order of work for each BitcoinSpins review is always the same. First, we read the terms of the casino. Next, we open the cashier of the casino from an Irish connection and look up the licence on the regulator's website. Finally, we post what we see in both Bitcoin and euro. We explain each of these in this article as well as indicate where the method stops.
- 10casinos reviewed
- 7licences a regulator's own page confirms
- 3regulators: Curaçao, Anjouan, Tobique
- 2currencies for every figure: BTC and euro
The four things a review checks first
- Open to IrelandThe casino's own terms must not list Ireland as a restricted country. Each review quotes the clause.
- Bitcoin costsDeposit and withdrawal minimums, fees and payout caps, in BTC and in euro.
- A licence you can checkA licence counts when the regulator's own website confirms it. Each review names the company and the number.
- Rules and toolsDeposit wagering, ID checks, idle fees, and whether limits and self-exclusion work for crypto.
A casino that fails the first check is not reviewed at all. The other three checks give the bulk of the score.
Where the facts in a review come from
| Fact | Where it is read | What the review shows |
|---|---|---|
| Restricted countries | The casino's terms | The clause number |
| Minimums, fees and limits | The cashier of an account opened from Ireland, and the casino's public fee pages | A screenshot of the screen, with any deposit address hidden |
| Bonus rules | The bonus page and the bonus terms | The wagering, the time limit and the maximum bet |
| Licence | The regulator's own certificate or validation page | The company, the licence number and the status |
| ID checks and limits | The terms and the account's own settings | What is asked for, and when |
When a casino does not disclose something, we put "not stated" or "not shown" in the review, and do not speculate to fill the gap.
What a research account is used for
What we do
What we do- Opened from an Irish connection, so the casino shows what an Irish visitor sees
- Used to read the deposit and withdrawal screens, which most casinos hide until you log in
- The source of the cashier screenshots in each review
What we do not do
What we do not do- No money is deposited and no bet is placed on a research account
- No bonus is claimed and no ID documents are sent
- So payout times in a review are the casino's own stated times, and are labelled that way
That last line in the review is important. A statement saying "usually within 24 hours" is something the casino is stating about themselves and is not something we measured.
What the score out of 10 means
- Cloudbet7.8 Curaçao licence, active
- Shuffle7.6 Curaçao licence, active
- BC.Game7.3 Anjouan licence, valid
- Slots Gallery6.9 Tobique licence, valid
- Metaspins6.8 Anjouan licence, valid
- Roobet6.8 Curaçao licence, active
- 7Bit6.6 Tobique licence, valid
- HellSpin6.4 licence not confirmed
- Vave5.5 no licence shown
- Betpanda5.3 no gaming licence
Each casino gets one score. There are no part scores for games and support, because a casino that will not pay you is not rescued by a good lobby.
The score follows the four checks above. So far, we have looked at ten casinos. Each time, those with a licensed regulator have been placed above those without. Betpanda, which has a better Bitcoin cash-in than out cashout of the ten casinos looked at, still comes last.
A ranking page works differently. The ten casinos on that page are scored against the same question. So Cloudbet has 7.8 in its review and 8.8 in fast withdrawal Bitcoin casinos, where only payouts count.
How figures are shown in BTC and euro
One rate for the whole site
- 1 BTC
- €76,568
- Source
- CoinGecko
- Date
- 6 October 2026
Every euro figure on the site is worked out from this rate until the next update.
An example
- Casino's own figure
- 0.0003 BTC
- Times the rate
- €76,568
- Shown as
- about €23
The Bitcoin figure is the casino's. The euro figure is ours.
A minimum set in Bitcoin costs more in euro when the price rises. If you are close to the minimum, send a bit more.
Affiliate links
Some links to casinos are affiliate links. They run through addresses on this site that begin with /go/. If you open an account through one, the casino may pay BitcoinSpins a commission, at no cost to you.
Ranking pages carry a line at the top that says so.
Updates and corrections
- Every page is dated. The "Updated" line under the heading is the date the page was last changed.
- Casinos move faster than pages. Offers, fees and minimums change without notice. Check the casino's own page before you deposit.
- Corrections are welcome. Write to post@bitcoinspins.io with the page and the figure. See the contact page.
