Online Poker in Ireland

Poker is a very popular pastime in Ireland, with most of the “private members’ clubs” offering attractive tournaments. In fact, the country regularly hosts a number of prestigious events, both national - as the Irish Open, which is the oldest Texas hold’em tournament in Europe and second oldest in the world - and international, such as the European Poker Tour. Nowadays, Irish players also have access to many online poker sites.

Online Poker Laws in Ireland

Although there are no specific Irish poker laws, the general regulations coming from the Gaming and Lotteries Act from 1956 apply, which means that poker is considered a form of gaming. That is, poker is allowed to some extent (i.e. tournament poker). And despite the general debates between lawmakers around the world, it does not matter if it is considered a game of skill because the law defines gambling as any “game (whether of skill or chance or partly of skill and partly of chance) for stakes hazarded by the players”. As a result, there are no Irish online poker licenses on the offer yet, though this is expected to change with the approval of the Gambling Control Bill 2013. But players can freely access offshore online poker sites in Ireland that are licensed in another country. These include some of the largest poker rooms in the world, such as PokerStars and partypoker, where they can play with high levels of competitivity, but also claim some of the best online poker bonuses and online poker promotions.

Online Poker Payment Methods in Ireland

In order to keep competing, operators must make sure that they are providing players with safe and fair environments. This means that every money transaction must be fully transparent. Accordingly, the credit and debit cards of VISA and MasterCard are usually accepted, but there are also other alternatives that are as efficient. These include Skrill, Neteller, PayPal or PaySafeCard. More information is available on the online poker reviews directory.

Online Poker Sites Accepting EUR

Ireland is geographically very well situated. That is, the country is a neighbor of one of the largest gambling markets in Europe while being a member of the Eurozone. As a result, many operators target the Emerald Isle, which is why there are several online poker sites accepting EUR.
