Terms and Conditions

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

GambleGuru is an independent gambling review and comparison website. These terms govern your use of the site. By using it, you accept them. If you do not accept them, please stop using the site.

We may update these terms. The current version always appears on this page with its last-updated date, and changes take effect when they are published. If you keep using the site after a change, you accept the updated terms.

These terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and our Responsible Gambling page.

2. Who can use this site

You must be 18 or over to use this site. Gambling in Ireland is restricted to adults aged 18 and over.

It is your responsibility to know whether gambling is legal where you are and whether a particular operator may lawfully accept you as a customer. Nothing on this site is an invitation to gamble where doing so would break the law that applies to you.

3. What GambleGuru is, and what it is not

We publish reviews, comparisons, guides and rankings about gambling operators. That is all we do.

We are not a gambling operator. We do not accept bets or wagers, we do not hold or process any customer funds, we do not run games, and we do not open, manage or close accounts with any operator. Any account you open is a contract between you and that operator, and we are not a party to it.

4. How we make money, and what that does not change

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you open an account or deposit with an operator after clicking one, we may receive a commission from that operator. This is how the site is funded, and it costs you nothing.

Commission does not determine our ratings, our rankings or what we publish. We rate operators against the same criteria whether or not we have a commercial relationship with them, we publish low scores for operators we earn from, and we publish criticism of their terms where it is warranted. Where we say something positive about an operator, it is because we concluded it, not because we were paid for it.

We do not accept payment to remove criticism, to raise a score, or to publish a review written by anyone else.

5. Information changes, and the operator's terms always govern

Bonus offers, wagering requirements, payment methods, withdrawal times, game counts and licensing details change frequently and often without notice. What we publish reflects what we found at the time we checked, and we date that information wherever we reasonably can.

The terms shown on the operator's own site when you register or deposit are the ones that apply to you. We cannot offer, honour, extend or guarantee any promotion, and an offer described here may have changed or ended by the time you see it. Always read the operator's current terms before you deposit.

6. Licensing in Ireland, and why you should check it yourself

Ireland's gambling regulation is changing. The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) began issuing remote betting licences on 1 July 2026, and its public register lists the operators that hold one. Licences covering online casino and gaming are scheduled for later phases, so at present most casino play offered to Irish customers is licensed elsewhere, for example in Malta, Gibraltar or offshore jurisdictions.

Because of that, two things are worth understanding. A GRAI betting licence does not authorise casino play, and it should never be presented as if it did. An operator without a GRAI licence is not necessarily acting unlawfully in offering casino games today, but the regulator that supervises it, and the complaint route open to you, will be outside Ireland.

We state which regulator licenses an operator where we can establish it, and we say plainly when an operator is not licensed in Ireland. Licensing changes, so confirm an operator's current position on the relevant regulator's own register rather than relying on a badge in a website footer. We are not responsible for any consequence of an operator's licensing status.

7. We cannot resolve a dispute between you and an operator

If you have a problem with an operator, for example a withheld withdrawal, a closed account, a verification request or a disputed bonus, we have no authority to intervene. We hold none of your money, we have no access to your account, and no operator is obliged to act on anything we say.

Raise the matter with the operator through its formal complaints process first and keep written records. You can then escalate to the operator's alternative dispute resolution provider or its regulator. Note that GRAI has stated it does not resolve individual customer disputes, and that a casino complaint follows the route set out in that operator's own terms, which will usually lead to its licensing jurisdiction rather than to Ireland.

8. Accuracy and no warranties

We take care over what we publish, but we do not warrant that the information on this site is complete, accurate or current. The site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

Nothing on this site is legal, financial, tax or professional advice, and nothing on it is a prediction or assurance of any gambling outcome. Gambling is designed so that the operator holds a mathematical advantage. You should expect to lose the money you gamble.

9. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for gambling losses you incur with any operator, for any decision you take based on information published here, or for loss or damage arising from your use of a third-party site reached through ours.

We do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

10. Responsible gambling

Gambling should be entertainment you can afford, not a source of income. If it is causing you harm, free confidential help is available. The National Gambling Helpline is 1800 936 725, open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Our Responsible Gambling page explains the tools available and where to get support in Ireland. Note that Ireland's National Gambling Exclusion Register is not yet in operation, so self-exclusion currently applies operator by operator.

11. Intellectual property

The content of this site, including reviews, written guides, ratings, page design, graphics and the GambleGuru name and logo, belongs to us or is used with permission. Operator names, logos and trade marks belong to their respective owners and appear here for identification.

You may read, share and link to our content for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not republish, copy, scrape or redistribute it commercially, or present it as your own, without our written permission.

12. Acceptable use

You agree not to use this site unlawfully, and in particular not to:

  • Use automated systems to scrape, harvest or bulk-download content
  • Attempt to interfere with the site's security, availability or functioning
  • Submit false, defamatory or fraudulent information through our forms
  • Misrepresent your identity or your age

13. Links to third-party sites

This site links to operators and other third parties. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, terms, privacy practices or availability. Visiting them is your decision, and their terms apply once you leave our site.

14. Suspension of access

We may restrict or withdraw access to the site where we reasonably believe these terms have been breached, or where doing so is necessary to protect the site or its users.

15. If part of these terms cannot be enforced

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest remains in force, and that provision applies to the maximum extent the law allows.
