1Red Casino is an offshore casino licensed in Anjouan, Comoros, with Tessera Limited SRL listed as holder of B2C licence ALSI-202410047-FI2. It has no Irish licence, and this 1Red Casino review ends in a swerve.
The detail that stands out is the company it keeps on official lists. 1Red domains appear on unauthorised-operator lists kept in Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Belgium, Estonia and Australia, among others. Those are regulators telling their own residents that the site is not licensed for them. We found no source naming Ireland as a restricted country, which is why the brand turns up in Irish searches.
1Red Casino review: sources and gaps
The licence details come from an aggregator of regulator registers. The site itself blocked our check, so we could not read its footer directly, and an older 1Red casino domain no longer resolves. Products other than the casino, payment methods and limits are all unconfirmed.
Those foreign lists are the record regulators keep of sites they treat as unlicensed in their own markets, often as the basis for asking banks or internet providers to cut them off. The GRAI has comparable tools: it can seek High Court orders blocking an unlicensed operator's website, advertising and payments. No Irish list naming 1Red has turned up, but the absence of one is not a licence.
Is 1Red Casino legit in Ireland?
It has a licence on paper and no standing here. No online casino holds an Irish licence, because the GRAI only expects to begin gaming licensing in early 2027; until then the benchmark is a Malta or UK licence, which 1Red lacks. A run of European regulators listing it as unauthorised is a strong hint at how they read its paperwork. Our licensing guide sets out the Irish position.
1Red bonus, free spins and withdrawals
No welcome offer, promo code, free spins or no deposit bonus is verified: . Withdrawal times are not on file either. A payout dispute with an Anjouan licensee has no Irish route and little practical one abroad. Regulated alternatives with published payout terms are on our fast withdrawal casinos list.
1Red sister sites and app
No app and no sister brands are confirmed for Tessera Limited SRL on our file, and we do not guess at them. The sister sites page lists groups with confirmed ownership.
Verdict on 1Red Casino
Swerve. The blacklists elsewhere make the point more loudly than any figure in its form line. Over 18s only (18+). Free Irish support is listed on our safer gambling page.
