About So Irish Casinos: who writes the reviews and how the site works
A small desk, one method, and a rule that commission never touches a rating.
Three bylines
Aoife Brennan
Writes the casino reviews and keeps the licence checks current. Reads terms and conditions for a living and has yet to find a bonus that was free.
Cormac Whelan
Runs the complaints desk, the withdrawal ledger and the blacklist. Dates every piece of evidence and never publishes a case he has not read twice.
Niamh Costello
Writes the academy lessons and builds the trainers. Believes the house edge is the only casino statistic worth memorising, and that Twenty-Five deserves a rulebook.
How the pages are made
Every casino review starts at a regulator register, not at the casino's footer. Withdrawal times come from operator terms and from withdrawals players report through this site. Complaint patterns are summarised from public review platforms and Irish forums, never quoted and never attributed to a named reviewer.
The academy lessons are written around strategy data that also drives the trainers, so a chart on the page and the drill above it cannot disagree. The free games are built here and use no money.
The full rating method, with its weights, is on the how we rate page.
How the site is paid for
So Irish Casinos earns a commission from some casinos when a reader opens an account through a visit button. Those casinos are partners; the button appears only on their pages and only after their licence checked out. Every other casino is reviewed on the same score sheet without a link.
Commission never changes a rating, a ranking position, a verdict or a blacklist entry. If a partner slips below a reviewed casino on the score sheet, it is shown below it.
Corrections, licence updates and press enquiries go through the contact page. Casino problems go through the report form.
