Advertiser Disclosure
Find out how CasinoAlpha Ireland works with online casino brands to write fair reviews. We promise to be open and honest, so our financial partnerships won’t affect the accuracy or objectivity of the information we give to Irish gamblers.
How We Make Money
CasinoAlpha Ireland operates as an affiliate marketing entity under Extremoo Marketing SRL. Extremoo’s company registration number is J23/6289/2017, and the VAT: RO38630895. Our business model allows us to earn referral commissions from casino operators when you, the user, sign up using our link.
These commission amounts are different from operator to operator, and they typically range from fixed Cost Per Acquisition CPA fees to Revenue Share percentages based on the operator earnings.
This doesn’t cost you! Our commissions come just from the casino’s marketing budget, not from your deposits or losses. Our team of expert Irish casino reviewers maintains complete editorial independence, ensuring affiliate relationships never compromise review quality. Learn more about our editorial standards.
Our affiliate status is fully disclosed on every page that has casino links, meeting Consumer Protection Act 2007 and EU Consumer Rights Directive requirements for transparency.
You’ll find the disclosure messages before you encounter any promotional content, ensuring you are informed and give your consent, ensuring compliance with the Irish and European consumer protection standards.
How do Affiliate Links Work
When you click a casino link on CasinoAlpha Ireland, several technical processes occur in compliance with Irish and EU privacy regulations. A small data file, typically known as a “tracking cookie” is placed in your browser carrying: unique tracking ID, timestamp, and referral source. This tracking cookie usually has a duration of 30-90 days depending on partnership terms, disclosed in our Privacy Policy meeting GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements applicable in Ireland.
If you register at the casino within the cookie duration period, the operator’s tracking system places your signup to CasinoAlpha. When you make a minimum deposit in EUR or you fulfill the wagering requirements as specified in the operator’s T&C’s, we earn a commission payment, since you meet the qualification criteria.
Even if you are using our affiliate link or not, it doesn’t change the pricing, bonus offers or any T&C presented to you. The casino costs are the same even if you don’t use our referral links. EUR currency, banking methods available to Irish players, the processing of payments remain unchanged by our referral partnership.
What This Means for You
Our affiliate model provides value through comprehensive, honest reviews of internationally-licensed casinos serving Irish players, funded by operator partnerships rather than reader subscriptions. You get access to free content, detailed casino reviews with EUR focus, Irish payment method analysis, expert guidance in choosing international operators, without any payment barriers.
To sustain our business, we depend on your trust. If we recommend poor casinos lacking adequate EUR support or mistreating Irish customers for commission gain, readers leave and revenue disappears. This has a dual effect, where we serve the best of your interests as an online gambler, while we keep our business viable.
You receive objective reviews helping you avoid problematic operators, understand complex bonus terms, verify international licensing credibility (UKGC, MGA, Gibraltar, Curaçao), check for EUR support and Irish banking compatibility, and make informed decisions based on our 47-factor methodology that is used on all business partnerships with casino operators.
Our Editorial Independence
Organisational Firewall: CasinoAlpha Ireland has a strict separation between commercial partnerships and editorial operations in compliance with EU advertising standards. Our editorial team, led by CEO Tudor Turiceanu, holds the final say over ratings, reviews, and content about casino operators. The team in charge of negotiating affiliate deals have zero impact or input into how we make our editorial decisions.
Independence Evidence: We keep documented proof of independence including rejected partnership offers from operators that failed our quality standards despite offering significant commission increases. We’ve published critical reviews of paying partners when service quality, EUR support, or treatment of Irish customers have declined. We’ve kept negative ratings for partner casinos despite financial pressure to improve scores, showing our commitment to Irish player protection over any commercial gain.
Methodology Application: Every casino from CasinoAlpha IE, goes through our 47-factor evaluation: where we check international licensing credibility, security, payments (EUR support, Irish banking compatibility, e-wallet availability), game number, bonuses, support (Irish time zone availability), and the user experience. This methodology is used for every review we do, the analysts conducting reviews don’t have any information regarding commission rates. In this way, we are preventing conscious or unconscious bias meeting EU fair trading principles.
Commission Do NOT Influence Our Ratings
Some of our highest-rated operators serving Ireland are not affiliate partners. Some paying partners receive average or below-average ratings when their EUR support, Irish payment options, or Irish player treatment deserve such rating. This distribution pattern shows that partnership status doesn’t determine any editorial outcomes.
All reviews go through at least 2 analysts reviews, plus CEO approval specifically examining whether ratings align with documented evidence including international licensing verification and Irish player compatibility rather than commercial relationships. There were situations where ratings conflict with partnership interests are documented, with editorial judgements maintained regardless of the revenue implications.
We’ve declined offers from operators willing to pay premium commissions in exchange for guaranteed positive coverage, better placement, or to hide negative information. We’ve rejected partnerships with operators lacking adequate EUR support or imposing unfair terms on Irish players. These documented rejections show that our editorial standards and Irish player protection is placed first, without any commercial gain influence.
Our Relationship with Casino Operators
- Partnership Scope
Internationally-licensed casino operators (holding UKGC, MGA, Gibraltar, or reputable licences) accepting Irish players can partner with us for affiliate referrals.
- Partnership Limitations
Operators don’t have a say in our rating, they can’t influence ratings, purchase positive reviews, guarantee ranking positions, request removal of negative information about EUR support or Irish service quality, or affect our editorial independence in any manner.
- Communication Boundaries
Partnership managers communicate only with commercial teams about commercial arrangements.The editorial staff conducting reviews, writing content about operators serving Irish players, and assigning ratings have no contact with operators regarding editorial matters. Technical inquiries (game counts, EUR availability, Irish banking verification, international licence verification) take place through formal channels documented for transparency.
- Partnership Termination
We close our partnerships when operators fail quality standards, use unfair practices toward Irish players, lose international licensing, impose discriminatory terms on Irish customers, remove EUR support without notice, or attempt to influence our editorial content.
What We DON'T Do
Things that are not allowed that meet Irish and EU standards:
- No Pay-for-Placement: Rankings are based on things like licensing credibility and compatibility with Irish law, not on paid partnerships.
- No Reviews That Are Sure To Happen: Operators can’t pay for good press
- No Rating Changes: Raising commissions doesn’t help our scores.
- No relationships that aren’t obvious: All partnerships are fully disclosed, which meets the requirements of the Consumer Protection Act and EU transparency laws.
- No Favouritism: Partner and non-partner casinos are treated the same when it comes to EUR support and Irish service quality.
- No Suppression: Negative information, like problems with licenses, EUR, or bad treatment of Irish players, is published no matter what partnerships exist.
- No Misrepresentation of Currency: We never lie about how much support we have for the euro or how easy it is for Irish businesses to accept payments for commercial gain.
Enforcement: Editorial oversight, peer review processes, international licensing verification, and documented rejection of commercial requests that go against these rules or Irish consumer protection standards are all ways that these rules are enforced.
How Our Independence Benefits You
Honest Warnings: You receive genuine warnings about problematic operators even when we have a partnership. We’ve flagged payment delays to Irish accounts, inadequate EUR support, poor implementation of Irish banking methods, unfair bonus terms, inadequate customer service during Irish hours, and licensing concerns affecting paying partners, information you need to protect yourself as an Irish player.
Quality Focus: Our recommendations prioritise international licensing credibility, player safety, EUR currency support, Irish payment method availability, fair terms meeting EU consumer protection standards, and operational quality over commission potential. High-scoring casinos earn their rating through performance, licensing transparency, and Irish player treatment quality, not through payment.
Long-term Value: We build credibility with our accurate reviews over years, not quick profits from misleading recommendations. This long-term approach aligns our success with your satisfaction, if we guide Irish players wrong, you stop trusting us, and our business fails.
EUR and Payment Focus: Our independent evaluation emphasises EUR currency support and Irish payment methods (bank transfers, e-wallets) that matter to Irish players, regardless of whether these features affect our commission rates.
