Why the site exists

When remote betting licences began in Ireland on 1 July 2026, we found few pages that showed the register itself: the GRAI register of licences, the one document that settles who is licensed.

We built this notebook around that register and around arithmetic. Commission, margins, each-way terms and accumulator returns can all be calculated, so we calculate them and show the working.

Who we are

Casinos Geek is written and checked by one editorial team, and every page is signed by that team rather than by a single name. We work as a team on purpose: no page depends on one person's opinion, and every fact passes through more than one pair of hands before it is published.

The team works in three passes on every page:

PassWhat is checkedAgainst what
RegisterLicence, licence holder, licence type, datesThe GRAI register download, re-checked every two weeks
NumbersOdds, commission, worked examples, calculatorsThe operator's published terms and our own arithmetic, done twice
EditWording, dates, sources, what is still pendingThe method on how we rate and the law as commenced

What the team does not do: put invented names or stock photos on articles, or write that something was tested when it was not. Where a check needs an account of our own, the page says it is pending.

Editorial independence

No operator sees a page before it is published, and no operator can buy a check result. A licence is verified against the GRAI register, a commission rate against the operator's own published terms, an app against Apple's App Store data. Payment, if it ever exists, cannot change any of those sources.

The method is written down on how we rate, so you can repeat any check yourself.

How we earn money

Today we earn nothing from this site. There are no affiliate links, no paid placements and no advertising.

Today the site has no affiliate links or ads; any future link is only for GRAI licensees, marked sponsored, and never changes a check
Our money policy in one picture. If it changes, the About page changes first.

In future we may add affiliate links, but only to operators holding a GRAI B2C licence. Any such link will be marked with rel="sponsored" and will go through a /go/ address so that it is visible as a commercial link. A commercial agreement will never move a check from pending to verified, and an operator that drops off the register loses its link.

What we will never do

  • Name or link to operators that are not on the GRAI register, not even to warn against them.
  • Explain how to use a VPN, mirror site or any other way around a geo-block or identity check.
  • Promote online casinos, rank them or publish casino bonuses. No GRAI gaming licence exists.
  • Describe an offer as free of risk, or betting as a source of income.
  • Write that we tested something we have not tested.
Five crossed-out icons: unlicensed operators, VPN and mirrors, casino promotion, risk-free claims, invented tests
Five things this site will never publish.

Corrections

If a licence number, date, rate or name on this site is wrong, send the page address and the source that shows the correct value. We check the source, correct the page and change its "updated" date. Material corrections, such as a licence status or a commission rate, get a one-line note at the end of the page saying what changed and when.

We do not remove accurate information because an operator asks us to.

The domain's history

casinosgeek.com carried casino news and reviews in 2011 and again between 2021 and 2025. That content is not part of this site. The current team took over the domain with different rules: Irish readers, GRAI-licensed operators only, casinos as information only. If you arrive from an old link and find the topic has changed, that is why.

Timeline of the domain: casino news in 2011 and 2021 to 2025, then the new editorial team from November 2026
The domain has a past. Nothing from the old sites was kept; old addresses return "gone".

Questions

Do operators pay Casinos Geek?

Not as of 11.11.2026. The site has no affiliate links, paid placements or advertising. If affiliate links are added later, they will be limited to GRAI-licensed operators and marked rel="sponsored".

Is this the same Casinos Geek that published casino news before?

Same domain, different site. The domain hosted casino news in 2011 and from 2021 to 2025. A new editorial team now runs it with its own rules and none of the earlier content.

Who writes and checks the pages?

The Casinos Geek editorial team. Every page goes through three passes: a register check against GRAI, a numbers check of every figure and example, and an edit for wording, dates and sources. Pages are signed by the team, not by a single name.

Can an operator ask you to change a review?

An operator can point out a factual error with a source, like any reader. It cannot buy a different result or have accurate information removed.
