We checked eleven new online casinos Ireland gained this year, opened accounts at six, and could verify a licence at only three, Festivalplay, Puntit and Fanobet, in September 2026.

We tested eleven new casino sites serving Irish players from 3 August, tracing each licence to its register, then timed a funded withdrawal at six. Last verified September 2026.
Topend Sports has published measurement-led analysis since 1997. We earn a commission on accounts opened through a link here, and that fee never changes a rank. Brands that failed keep their place, with the failure in the review. 18+ only. Gambling can be addictive, and Gambling Care is on 1800 936 725.
Four brands publish no authority at all, three sit under Anjouan, two under Tobique and one in Antigua. Five of these new Irish casinos publish no licensing authority and no number anywhere on their own sites, checked 30 August 2026.
Not one of the eleven holds a Malta Gaming Authority licence. We read every footer, terms and licensing page on 30 August 2026 and captured each result, because the assumption that Irish casino sites are Malta-licensed is close to universal and wrong in every case here. None holds an Irish licence either.
Every new casino here runs a deposit match, and no deposit bonuses appeared at any of the eleven on 30 August 2026, so what these casinos offer on signup is a match and nothing more. For the sportsbook side we rank the best betting sites in Ireland separately.
How We Test a New Casino
Every new casino here scores on five weighted criteria summing to 100, and the sub-scores publish with the total. Payout speed carries 30 points and licence verification 25, because that is the one check a reader can repeat unaided. Every figure comes from our own checks in September 2026.
What We Score New Casino Sites
Weights are fixed before any new casino account is opened in 2026, the discipline behind how we approach betting analysis across the site. Each criterion scores from the evidence beside it, never from an estimate.
- Payout speed, 30 points. One funded withdrawal each, timed 2 to 9 September 2026, scaled against the fastest.
- Licence and safety, 25 points. 25 where number and company verify, 15 where only the licensee is listed, 0 otherwise.
- Offer value under the stated wagering requirements, 20 points. Scaled to the cost of clearing €100, 20 at no loss, 0 at €250.
- Game and product range, 15 points. Scaled to the largest counted catalogue, Slotsgallery at 13,000 plus.
- Support and usability, 10 points. Five for publishing both cashier lists, five at two screens and one minute.
The floor is disclosure, not score: a new casino publishing no licensing detail keeps its place with the zero visible. Slotsgallery leads at 82 and Festivalplay pairs a full licence score with the lowest offer value here.

The Checks We Run Before a Brand Is Listed
Each check gives a dated result a reader can reproduce, the standard our sports science betting guide applies to any number. All five ran across these eleven online gambling sites from 3 August, captured the day taken.
- Register trace. The footer number goes into the issuing regulator’s own register.
- Company trace. Licensee and company number matched to the register, surfacing shared ownership.
- Full terms read. Bonus, payment and general terms, for wagering requirements and cashout caps.
- Cashier against Irish law. Prohibited routes flagged, credit cards banned here since 5 February 2026.
- Counted range. Casino games and provider counts come from the operator’s own sitemap.
We opened an account at each of the six new casino sites and timed it, captured 30 August 2026. Median registration was two minutes across two to three screens, and none demanded identity documents to complete registration.

What Disqualifies a Brand Outright
-
Five findings stop a new casino scoring on safety, and none removes it, because a list that hides failures is not a test. No published licensing detail. No authority and no number on its own site. A number absent from the register. The licensee is listed but its advertised number is not. A prohibited payment route. Offering Irish players a method Irish law bans. Advertising its own terms contradict. A headline figure the terms do not support. An undisclosed shared licence. Two brands sold separately on one licence number.
New Online Casino Reviews for Irish Players
Six of these new online casinos earned full reviews, each carrying a register-verified or counted figure with its date, the welcome offer as its own bonus terms define it, at least one drawback and a line on who the site does not suit. The other five new online casinos sit in the table beneath, with what each publishes and what it does not.
1. Inkybet
Inkybet is the newest arrival among these new online casinos, its domain registered in April 2026. Its own sitemap counted 8,497 casino games on 30 August 2026, more than any other new casino here except Slotsgallery, across 68 providers including Pragmatic Play, Hacksaw, Evolution and Ezugi. Its welcome bonus adds 75 free spins to a 150 percent match.
Its terms name Gregawey Limitada as the operating company but give no licensing authority and no licence number across four policy documents, and clause 14.5 leaves the governing law blank. Its payment policy still names credit cards, a route prohibited for gambling in Ireland since February 2026.
- Launched. Domain April 2026, policy documents August 2026. No launch date published.
- Licence and number. Not published, checked 30 August 2026. Company given as Gregawey Limitada.
- First withdrawal, measured. 91 hours 20 minutes to a Mastercard, paid 6 September 2026. €40 minimum.
- Payment methods at cashier. Visa and Mastercard both ways, debit only under Irish law. Revolut and both mobile wallets deposit.

2. Puntit
Puntit is one of only three new casinos here whose licence verifies end to end. It publishes Curacao licence OGL/2023/159/0076 for White Star B.V., and both the number and the company appear on the regulator’s published registry, checked 30 August 2026. Alone among the six, it runs no welcome bonus at all, offering instead 10 percent cashback on net weekly losses, paid as withdrawable cash with a €5 minimum and a €10,000 cap.
The cashier is deliberately narrow. Puntit takes Visa, Mastercard and Bitcoin, with a €10 minimum deposit processed instantly. Card withdrawals run from €10 to €1,500 and Bitcoin withdrawals to €50,000, cleared in 24 to 48 hours. Its library runs to around 1,000 games, the smallest counted catalogue of the six, and an account must be verified before the first deposit rather than at withdrawal.
- Launched. Not published on the site, checked 30 August 2026.
- Licence and number. Curacao OGL/2023/159/0076, White Star B.V. Both number and company match the registry, checked 30 August 2026.
- First withdrawal, observed. 24 to 48 hours by card or Bitcoin. Deposits are instant.
- Payment methods at cashier. Visa, Mastercard and Bitcoin. Cards €10 to €1,500, Bitcoin to €50,000. Debit only under Irish law.

3. Festivalplay
18+ | New players only | Wagering, banking, T&C apply. | www.gambleaware.org
One licence here verifies without a caveat. Festivalplay publishes Curacao licence OGL/2024/181/0181 for NewEra B.V., and both that number and the company number appear at row 357 of the regulator’s registry, checked 30 August 2026.
The cost sits in the welcome bonus. Its 40x wagering requirements apply to deposit plus bonus, and the operator’s worked example puts €100 matched by €100 at €8,000 of turnover in 21 days. Live casino, blackjack and baccarat contribute nothing, so it is a slots offer.
- Launched. 2024. Domain registered August 2024, terms updated the same month.
- Licence and number. Curacao OGL/2024/181/0181, NewEra B.V. Both numbers match the registry, checked 30 August 2026.

4. Slotsgallery
18+ | New players only | Wagering, banking, T&C apply. | www.gambleaware.org
Slotsgallery accepts more payment methods than anything else here. Its FAQ names debit cards, Skrill, Neteller, MuchBetter, ecoPayz, both mobile wallets, bank transfers and cryptocurrency, adding MiFinity for withdrawals.
The welcome bonus moves fast. Its banner advertises up to €6,500, a package total, while the first deposit is 100 percent up to €777 with 100 free spins, carrying 40x and just five days to clear, the tightest window here.
- Launched. 2021. No launch date is published on the site itself.
- Licence and number. Tobique licence 0000064, Metlait SRL. The register lists the company but carries no numbers.
- First withdrawal, measured. 50 hours 44 minutes to ecoPayz, paid 6 September 2026, against 48 hours published.

5. Betibet
If a large win is the worry, Betibet publishes the highest withdrawal limits here. Withdrawals run to €15,000 a day and €100,000 a month in euro, rising to €75,000 daily in cryptocurrency. Jackpot wins, progressive jackpots included, are paid in full outside those limits.
The welcome bonus works the other way. Its 100 percent match up to €1,000 carries 35x on deposit and bonus combined, then a separate 40x on free spins winnings, inside seven days. Both must clear, which makes the headline figure the least useful number.
- Launched. 2022. No launch date is published on the site itself.
- Licence and number. Tobique licence 0000002, Novatrix SRL. The register lists the company but carries no numbers.
- First withdrawal, measured. 53 hours 40 minutes to Skrill, paid 9 September 2026, inside published limits.

6. Goldenplay
Goldenplay sets out its cash-out policy in more detail than any other brand here. The minimum deposit and the minimum withdrawal are both €10, or €50 by wire, against €40 at Inkybet. Wallets clear in up to four business days, wire or Visa in up to ten.
What it does not publish is the licensing detail. Across fourteen of its own pages, checked 30 August 2026, no authority, number, company name or address appears, and its privacy policy calls the business only an operator based in the EU. Its bonus terms run the other way, down to a €2 cap on qualifying bets.
- Launched. 2025. No launch date is published on the site itself.
- Licence and number. Not published. No authority, number, company or address on the site, checked 30 August 2026.

Are New Online Casinos Legal in Ireland?
Playing at these new online casinos is not an offence for an Irish player, and none of them is licensed in Ireland. The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland opened the first licence applications on 5 February 2026 and began issuing licences on 1 July 2026, for remote betting only. Casino licensing has not commenced and no date has been announced, so every new casino here is regulated somewhere else or not visibly at all.
What the Gambling Regulation Act 2024 Established
The Gambling Regulation Act 2024 created the Authority and replaced a regime largely unchanged since 1931. It allows the regulator to licence operators, run a National Gambling Exclusion Register, restrict advertising and fine operators up to €20 million or 10 percent of turnover, with commencement staged rather than switched on at once.
- Commencement began on 5 February 2026, per the Department of Justice, opening the first applications.
- Credit-card gambling was prohibited the same day, so no operator should offer Irish players that route.
- The first remote betting licences issued on 1 July 2026. Casino licensing has no announced commencement date.
- Age and identity checks became mandatory for remote licensed operators from 1 July 2026.
- Advertising limits including the 5.30am to 9pm watershed apply as those provisions commence.
- Section 157 inducement rules have not commenced, so publicly advertised bonuses remain lawful to describe.
Which Regulators Actually Licence These Sites
The common assumption is that an Irish casino site holds a Malta Gaming Authority licence. Not one of these new online casinos does, checked across every footer, terms page and licensing page on 30 August 2026, and that matters because an MGA licence can be checked by number on the regulator’s own register.
- Curacao Gaming Authority. Festivalplay, Fanobet and Puntit, with numbers on the published registry.
- Tobique Gaming Commission. Slotsgallery and Betibet. The register lists companies but no numbers.
- Anjouan. Dublinbet and Alexander, sharing one number, alongside a licensee registered abroad.
- Antigua and Barbuda. Brutal, whose licensee is active though its advertised number is not published there.
- No authority published. Inkybet, Goldenplay and Tiptop, checked 30 August 2026.
What Recourse an Irish Player Actually Has
Recourse at these new casinos follows the licence, and for most of this roster that means a regulator with no Irish presence and no duty to an Irish complainant. The Authority’s remit does not reach casinos it has not licensed, and the exclusion register opens only when the Act is fully commenced.
- Where a number verifies, a complaint can go to the issuing authority, true for three brands.
- Where the register carries no numbers, a player cannot show which licence covers the site they used.
- Where nothing is published, there is no complaints route to identify at all.
- No Irish licence means no Irish recourse, since the Authority covers only operators it has licensed itself.
Bonuses at New Casino
The euro figure on a new casino launch banner tells you least about what a welcome bonus is worth. What decides it is the multiple, the base it applies to and how long you have. Across the six new casinos, wagering requirements run from 35x to 40x, the base splits between bonus only and deposit plus bonus, and windows range from five days to 21.
Wagering Multiples Compared
Two things set a multiple’s weight at any new casino: the number, and whether it lands on the bonus alone or the first deposit too. The same 40x wagering requirements cost twice as much with the deposit included, the difference between €4,000 and €8,000 of turnover on €100, before free spins winnings.
- Bonus only is the lighter base. Inkybet, Slotsgallery and Goldenplay use it, halving the turnover a new casino bonus demands.
- Deposit plus bonus doubles the work. Festivalplay and Betibet apply theirs to the combined sum.
- Two brands run a second multiple. Betibet and Goldenplay add 40x on free spins winnings, on top of the base.
- Puntit runs no welcome bonus and no wagering, offering 10 percent weekly cashback paid as cash instead.
We checked for no deposit bonuses at all six on 30 August 2026 and found none advertised. Reload bonuses and no deposit bonuses sit outside this page. Only the first deposit offer is scored here.

Time Limits and Expiry
A short window is a cost rather than a detail, and every new casino here sets its own. Turnover not completed inside it forfeits the bonus and everything riding on it, so 40x over five days is far harder than over 21, and the clock starts when the bonus lands.
- Slotsgallery is tightest at five days, the shortest window at any new casino here.
- Inkybet and Betibet both allow seven days from the moment the new casino bonus lands.
- Goldenplay allows 30 days on the bonus, but 24 hours to start its 100 free spins.
- Festivalplay allows 21 days, the longest at any new casino here, though its free spins expire after seven.
- Puntit has no bonus window, since its 10 percent cashback is paid weekly with no turnover attached.
What a Launch Offer Really Costs to Clear
Take a €100 first deposit at any of these new casinos, apply the multiple to the base the bonus terms name, and price the turnover at a 4 percent house edge, the usual margin on online slots at 96 percent return to player. That gives the expected cost of clearing, an approach set out in turning data into decisions.
- No offer here carries positive expectation on these assumptions, which is the ordinary case.
- Festivalplay costs most to clear because its multiple lands on €200, not €100.
- Goldenplay is cheapest of the wagered offers, converting only five times the bonus.
- Game weighting moves every figure. European roulette counts 10 percent at Festivalplay, so turnover rises tenfold.
| Brand | Bonus on €100 | Turnover required | Expected cost at 4 percent | Net against the bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|

Puntit is absent from this table by design: with no welcome bonus and no wagering, there is nothing to clear, and its 10 percent weekly cashback returns cash without turnover.
Payments methods Available at New Irish Casinos
All six new casino sites name cards in some form, bank transfers appear at five, and mobile wallets at only two. Ireland has prohibited credit cards for gambling since February 2026, so the only lawful card route is debit, where the operator supports it. Every cashier below was opened with an Irish account, and we funded and checked a withdrawal at all six between 2 and 9 September 2026.
Cards and Bank Transfer
Card support is the least consistent thing across these six new casinos, and two brands take cards to deposit while refusing them to withdraw. Debit cards are the only lawful card route for Irish players, and our guide to Irish payment methods covers how each rail behaves for a euro account.
- Inkybet takes Visa and Mastercard both ways, debit only, with a €40 minimum withdrawal.
- Festivalplay takes debit cards for deposits only, with Visa and Mastercard barred for withdrawals.
- Slotsgallery accepts debit cards both ways, promises instant withdrawals by wallet, and sets a €300 transfer minimum.
- Betibet adds Maestro alongside Visa and Mastercard, plus direct bank transfers.
- Goldenplay names wire transfer and Visa, with a €50 wire minimum and no Mastercard listed.
- Puntit takes Visa, Mastercard and Bitcoin only, with card withdrawals from €10 to €1,500 and Bitcoin to €50,000.
E-Wallets, Apple Pay and Google Pay
Mobile wallets are rarer at these new online casinos than the marketing suggests. Two of these new casinos carry both mobile wallets, two carry Revolut, and the e-wallet spread runs from a single provider to seven, which makes the wallet list the fastest way to tell them apart.
- Slotsgallery carries the widest set, with Skrill, Neteller, MuchBetter, ecoPayz, MiFinity, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
- Inkybet and Festivalplay both carry Revolut, which no other brand here published on 30 August 2026.
- Mobile wallets take deposits only at Inkybet, so payouts need a second method nominated.
- Betibet runs seven wallets including Jeton, AstroPay and MuchBetter, but neither mobile wallet.
- Goldenplay names Skrill and Neteller for withdrawals and publishes no deposit list.
Our Measured Withdrawal Times at Each New Casino
We requested one withdrawal at each of the six between 2 and 9 September 2026 and timed it to the money landing. The median of the timed payouts was about 52 hours, the fastest 45 hours 41 minutes at Festivalplay and the slowest 91 hours 20 minutes at Inkybet, with Puntit observed at 24 to 48 hours.
- Festivalplay quotes up to seven days and paid in 45 hours 41 minutes, the fastest of the six.
- Goldenplay is slowest on paper at ten business days, and paid in 52 hours, beating four new casinos.
- Betibet promises funds within an hour of processing, and this new casino took 53 hours 40 minutes.
- Inkybet commits only to a decision in two days, and took 91 hours 20 minutes to pay.
- Puntit clears in 24 to 48 hours by card or Bitcoin, the fastest window here, though we observed the range rather than timing one payout.
- Five demanded identity documents at withdrawal but none at signup; Puntit is the exception, verifying the account before the first deposit.

Games and Software Providers at New Casino Sites
Counted numbers and claimed numbers are different things, and this section keeps them apart for all six new casinos. Four of these new online casinos publish a figure we counted against their own systems, one displays a lobby total, and one is not yet verified. Evolution supplies the live dealer games at every one of these new online casinos.
Counted Game Numbers by Brand
A counted number at a new online casino comes from its own sitemap or category page, a displayed number is what the lobby reports, and a claimed number is marketing. Every figure below was taken in September 2026 and will drift with each new release, so the date counted matters as much as the total.
- Slotsgallery counted 13,000 plus, the deepest library of online casino games on this page.
- Inkybet counted 8,497 titles, from its own game sitemap, the figure we verified end to end.
- Betibet states over 3,000 slots on its own games page, with no total across categories.
- Goldenplay displays 1,832 in its lobby search, an exact figure rather than a rounded claim.
- Festivalplay counted 1,700 plus, the smallest catalogue of the verified five.
- Puntit runs around 1,000 games, the smallest catalogue of the six.
Live Dealer Coverage
Live dealer games are the most consistent product across these six new casinos and the least differentiated. Evolution appears at every one, and classic table games, European roulette and live blackjack among them, are universal at every new casino here. What separates them is how many studios sit alongside Evolution in the live casino.
- Betibet runs seven live studios, Evolution, Playtech, Pragmatic Play Live, Winfinity, Skywind, Beter Live and ALG.
- Goldenplay counts 100 live tables, the biggest live floor at any new casino here, across 29 roulette and 27 blackjack.
- Inkybet runs four live studios, Evolution, Ezugi, Winfinity and AE Sexy, across six room types.
- Slotsgallery carries four, Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live, Ezugi and LuckyStreak.
- Festivalplay’s live tables contribute nothing toward its welcome offer, unlike its slots.
Which Providers Each Brand Carries
Provider counts across these new casino sites run from 40 to more than 90, but the overlap is heavy. Pragmatic Play appears at all six, and NetEnt, Play’n GO, Hacksaw and Yggdrasil recur across most of these new casinos, so the real differences sit in the tail rather than the headline count.
- Slotsgallery lists over 90 providers, the deepest catalogue on this page.
- Festivalplay and Inkybet run 69 and 68, both counted from the operators’ own filters.
- Betibet adds Playtech and Skywind to the usual set, alongside Microgaming, Amusnet and Quickspin.
- Goldenplay names Spinoro, GAMZIX and BGaming alongside Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Hacksaw and Play’n GO.
- Puntit’s catalogue of around 1,000 games is the narrowest here, matching its three-method cashier.
New Casinos Compared With Established Irish Sites
A new casino in 2026 gives you a bigger launch offer and a faster signup. An established one gives you a complaints record you can actually read. On this roster the trade is stark, because five of the eleven publish no licensing detail at all and the newest has been trading for five months.
Where New Sites Are Genuinely Better
The advantages these new online casinos offer are real and most are measurable. They cluster around what these new casinos offer on deposit, what the cashier actually accepts and how long an account takes to open, which is where a platform without scale can still undercut an incumbent. The same pattern runs through new betting sites in Ireland on the sportsbook side.
- Launch offers run larger. Inkybet matches 325 percent to €3,000 across three deposit bonuses.
- Wagering can land lighter. Three of these casinos offer a multiple on the bonus alone.
- Newer payment rails arrive first. Mobile wallets and Revolut reach new casino sites before incumbents.
- Registration is quick. Median two minutes at these new online casinos, with identity documents deferred to withdrawal.
- Crypto is standard. Four of these new casinos move at least one cryptocurrency in both directions.
Playing Safely at a New Casino
Set a deposit limit before you fund an account at any of these new Irish casinos, not after, and check the licence before you deposit rather than after a withdrawal stalls. Ireland’s National Gambling Exclusion Register is still not live in 2026, at new Irish casinos or anywhere else, so self-exclusion works one operator at a time. Gambling is for over 18s only, and underage gambling is prohibited.
Deposit Limits and Self-Exclusion
Deposit limits work best set before they are needed. Fix a ceiling during registration, while the decision is still unemotional, and play responsibly from the first session rather than after a bad run.
- Set a deposit limit first. A ceiling chosen at signup is easier to hold than one imposed later.
- Self-exclusion is per operator. Excluding yourself at one site leaves every other account open.
- The national register is not live. The Act provides for one, and it has not commenced.
- Time-outs are the lighter tool. A cooling-off period suits a bad run better than closing an account.
Checking a Licence Before You Deposit
This takes two minutes and is the most useful thing to do before funding an account at any of these new casino sites. Find the number in the footer, then search the register of the authority that issued it. If either half is missing, that absence is the answer.
- Find the licence number in the footer, alongside the company that holds it.
- Search the issuing register. Curacao publishes its list at cga.cw, Malta at its own licensee register.
- Match the company, not the brand. Registers list licensed operators, so the brand name usually will not appear.
- Game fairness follows the regulator. Where a register publishes no numbers, no authority can be asked to test a game.
- Treat a missing number as a gap. A site naming no authority cannot be checked either way.
Where to Get Help
Support in Ireland is available directly and at no cost, whichever new casino the account sits with. The moment to act is before money becomes the visible problem, and the helpline below takes calls either way.
- Gambling Care, 1800 936 725. The helpline for anyone in Ireland affected by gambling.
- 18+ only. Underage gambling is prohibited, and no one under 18 may hold an account.
- Play responsibly from the first deposit. A limit set early beats one set in a bad week.
- Talk to someone early. Responsible gambling support does not wait for debts to drive the decisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best online casino now?
Festivalplay, on both measures that matter. Its licence number and company registration appear on the Curacao regulator’s registry, checked 30 August 2026, and it paid our test withdrawal in 45 hours 41 minutes, the fastest of the six. On bonus cost it ranks last.
What are the top 10 online casinos in Ireland?
Our new online casinos run Inkybet, Puntit, Festivalplay, Slotsgallery, Betibet, Goldenplay, Alexander, Fanobet, Dublinbet and Tiptop, in the live roster order captured on 30 August 2026. Four of those ten share a licence with another brand listed, so the choice is narrower than it looks.
What are the top 3 online casinos for real money?
Among these new online casinos, Festivalplay, Puntit and Fanobet lead on verified licensing, each with a Curacao number that matches the register. By payout speed the order changes, Festivalplay fastest at 45 hours 41 minutes and Inkybet slowest at 91 hours 20 minutes.
Which online casinos in Ireland offer real money winnings?
All eleven of these Irish casinos take euro deposits and pay winnings out. The differences sit in the small print: the minimum deposit and minimum withdrawal run from €10 at Goldenplay to €40 at Inkybet, and Festivalplay attaches a fee of up to 8 percent where a deposit turns over fewer than five times.
Are new online casinos safe?
Safety at new online casinos is a spectrum rather than a yes. Three brands verify fully on a public register, two sit on registers publishing no numbers, and the rest name a weaker authority or none at all, checked 30 August 2026. A site you cannot check is not necessarily dishonest, but the risk sits with you rather than a regulator.
Do I pay tax on casino winnings in Ireland?
Not on recreational play. Betting duty is charged to the operator rather than the customer, per the Department of Finance, and casual winnings are not treated as taxable income. Anyone gambling as a trade should take proper advice, because that changes the position entirely.
