The IrishLucky Triple Check
Most review sites score five or more equal pillars. We don’t. Irish players care about three things that actually decide whether a casino is usable: can you trust it, can you cash out, and are the offers finishable.
We call that the Triple Check. Every recommended brand on IrishLucky.eu.com gets three criterion scores plus a weighted Overall (Lucky Score).
| Check | Weight | What we score |
|---|---|---|
| Safety | 40% | Verifiable licence, KYC clarity, responsible-gambling tools, track record |
| Cashouts | 35% | Real withdrawal speed, EUR rails Irish players use, limits & pending friction |
| Offers | 25% | Bonus clarity — wagering, max win, excluded games, whether the offer is finishable |
Overall = (Safety × 0.40) + (Cashouts × 0.35) + (Offers × 0.25)
Recommended brands sit on a 4.1–4.7 Overall band after editorial scoring. Brands that fail the bar stay published on not recommended casinos with lower scores — we don’t delete history.
Why only three checks?
Games libraries and “customer service” scores are easy to inflate from marketing pages. Withdrawal behaviour and licence quality are not. By weighting Safety and Cashouts heaviest, a huge slots lobby cannot rescue a slow cashier or a vague licence seal.
Offers still matter — but we score terms you can clear, not the biggest percentage on a banner.
How a review is tested
- Register as a normal player (no VIP shortcuts).
- Deposit on rails common in Ireland (cards, e-wallets, Revolut, crypto where offered).
- Read the bonus T&Cs line by line — WR, max bet, game weighting, expiry.
- Request a withdrawal and note pending time, extra KYC, and method limits.
- Check the footer licence against the regulator’s public register when one exists.
We re-check recommended brands when terms, ownership, or payout behaviour change. Affiliate relationships never buy a listing or inflate a score.
What “4.x” means here
| Band | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 4.5–4.7 | Strong Triple Check — preferred shortlist |
| 4.1–4.4 | Recommendable with clear caveats in the review |
| Below 4.1 | Not on recommended lists (may appear as not recommended) |
Full reviews always show the three checks next to Overall so you can see why a brand ranks where it does — not a single opaque star.
