About BonusFinder Ireland
BonusFinder Ireland is an independent online casino review and comparison website covering casinos, sports betting sites, and gambling bonuses available to players in Ireland. Founded in 2017 and launching our dedicated Irish site in 2021, we help Irish players find safe, licenced casinos by independently testing platforms, evaluating bonuses against real wagering conditions, and publishing transparent, editorially independent reviews.
We are part of the NASDAQ-listed Gambling.com Group. We are not a gambling operator we do not accept bets or hold player funds. Every casino featured on BonusFinder Ireland holds a valid licence from a recognised gambling authority. It’s all about safe, responsible play, and helping you Find More Fun.
Our Story
BonusFinder was founded in 2017 with one goal: to give players accurate, unbiased information about online casinos at a time when most comparison sites were simply listing whoever paid the most. We launched our dedicated Irish site in 2021, built around the needs of players in Ireland and in 2022 joined the NASDAQ-listed Gambling.com Group, bringing additional resources and reach to our Dublin based editorial team. Here's how it happened.
2017
BonusFinder is founded
Independent casino comparison brand launched with a mission to provide honest, testable reviews.
2018
BonusFinder becomes international
We successfully launched in New Zealand, our second international market, while drafting the roadmap for our entry into the US and Japan. Our growth was matched by professional recognition, as we secured our first nominations for industry leading awards.
2019
Strengthening our European Roots
We opened our London office in Spring 2019 to master the UKGC regulatory landscape, followed by the launch of our dedicated UK site. This move solidified our expertise in regulated European markets and paved the way for our Dublin based headquarters to lead our global expansion.
2020
Scaling our Expertise
Building on our international momentum, we secured five prestigious industry award nominations. Our specialized team grew to 25 experts as we doubled our portfolio of regulated brands, refining the rigorous testing processes that would soon power our Irish launch.
2021
BonusFinder Ireland launches
A landmark year as we officially launched BonusFinder.ie to serve players at home in Ireland. While our 'Netflix and Pizza' dream job contest went viral globally, our focus remained on local excellence. We expanded into Latin American markets and grew our team to 35 people, establishing our Dublin-based operations as a hub for international growth.
2022
Joining Gambling.com Group & Award-Winning Growth
BonusFinder reached a new peak in 2022, officially joining the Gambling.com Group. This partnership bolstered our mission to provide the most reliable comparisons for Irish players. The year culminated in winning our first iGB Affiliate Award for Marketing Campaign of the Year, while our global team expanded to 40+ members to support our growing community.
2023
EGR Nordics Gold Award
Winner of the EGR Nordics Gold Award for Best Affiliate Program, further establishing our standing as a top-tier global gambling affiliate.
2024
BonusFinder Grows Globally
We successfully entered the Mexican market and integrated USBettingReport into our platform, offering players even more ways to 'Find More Fun.' This expansion further solidified our position as a leading global authority in both the casino and sports betting sectors.
2025
Growth and a Refreshed Identity
Our reach now spans over multiple regulated markets, powered by a global team. We celebrated this scale with a comprehensive brand makeover, featuring a sharper logo and a modern color palette symbolizing our renewed commitment to providing the industry’s most transparent reviews and best casino offers.
2026
Setting the Standard in a Regulated Ireland
From our Dublin roots, we’ve adapted to the new GRAI regime by prioritizing licensed operators, transparent reviews, and player protection tools delivering a safer, more trustworthy experience for Irish players.

Meet the BonusFinder IE Team
Our Irish editorial team reviews every casino with a real account signing up, depositing, claiming bonuses, and testing withdrawals before writing a single word. Meet the people behind BonusFinder Ireland:
Jack Campion - Casino Editor
Jack has worked in the online gambling industry since 2022, first as a copywriter for a major operator before joining BonusFinder as a casino editor in 2025.

With a career rooted in the complexities of online gambling, he ensures our multi language content maintains a unified gold standard of quality.

Why Players Trust BonusFinder Ireland
Independence
We assess all casinos independently and based on merit. While we do have partnerships, they never influence our editorial ratings or recommendations. Our aim is to give players objective and reliable information.
Accuracy
We verify all facts using trusted sources and review our content regularly. Casino rules, bonuses, and terms are updated to reflect reality not assumptions. We verify operator licenses directly via the issuing authority's public register before publishing any review.
Transparency
We clearly explain how we review, rate, and recommend casinos. If we work with a brand, we’re upfront about it. And if something’s unclear, we’ll tell you that too. We clearly label paid placements where they appear. Our editorial scores are never sold to operators.
Fairness
We write for the players not the casinos. Our tone, layout, and comparisons are built to inform, not persuade. Every casino is evaluated using the same core criteria. We apply the same scoring criteria to every casino including operators we have commercial relationships with.
Proof of Testing
Our editors create real accounts, make deposits, claim bonuses, and test withdrawals before writing any review. → See how we test a casino
Our Commitment to Irish Gambling Standards
BonusFinder Ireland is an independent review and comparison website. We are not a licenced gambling operator and do not handle player funds. Our responsibilities as an Irish gambling information provider include:
- Licenced operators only — every casino featured on BonusFinder Ireland holds a valid licence from a recognised gambling authority. We do not list unlicensed or offshore operators.
- Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) — Ireland’s new dedicated gambling regulator, established under the Gambling Regulation Act 2024, is now the primary authority overseeing licencing and player protection in Ireland. We monitor GRAI guidance and update our reviews accordingly.
- Responsible gambling tools audit — we check for deposit limits, reality checks, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion options at every casino we review, and report transparently when they are absent or limited.
- Editorial independence — our review scores are produced independently of our commercial partnerships. We do not accept operator-supplied content or paid editorial placements.
How We Review Irish Online Casinos
Every casino on BonusFinder Ireland must hold a valid licence from a recognised gambling authority we do not feature unlicensed or offshore operators. Once that threshold is met, we score each casino across six weighted categories:
| Review Category | Weight | What We Check |
|---|---|---|
| Licence & Safety | 25% | Valid gambling licence, SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, self-exclusion options, KYC process |
| Bonuses & Promotions | 20% | Welcome offer real value, wagering requirements in plain terms, T&C clarity, existing-player promotions, bonus restrictions |
| Banking & Withdrawals | 20% | Irish-friendly payment methods (Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, bank transfer), withdrawal speed, deposit and withdrawal limits, KYC timing |
| Games & Software | 15% | Game variety, licenced software providers, RTP transparency, live casino quality, mobile game availability |
| Customer Support | 10% | Live chat availability, support hours, response quality, complaint resolution |
| Mobile Experience | 10% | App quality, browser-based performance, iOS and Android compatibility, mobile banking functionality |
How We Earn Money
BonusFinder Ireland is a free resource for players, supported by affiliate commissions. When you register at a casino through our links, we may receive a fee from the operator. This revenue directly funds our independent research, rigorous first hand testing, and expert editorial team.
Importantly, our commercial partnerships never dictate our ratings. While some positions on the site are clearly labelled as paid placements, all editorial scores and reviews are produced independently and are never for sale.
