Dublinbet Review: An Irish Name on an Anjouan Licence

Dublinbet is not an Irish casino in any sense that matters to a player. It holds no Irish licence, sits on neither the GRAI register nor Revenue's list of remote bookmakers, and is run, according to an Irish review guide, by Samaki Limited under an Anjouan licence. Our Dublinbet review ends in a swerve.

Dublinbet review: the name and the paperwork

A city name in a brand is marketing, not regulation. Dublinbet's paperwork, as far as it can be traced, points to the island of Anjouan in the Comoros: licence ALSI-142406012-Fi1, held by Samaki Limited, company number 15685. Earlier third-party pages claimed a Malta licence, and others Curacao; none of those claims came with a number we could check, and the Malta claim looks unsupported.

A brand whose licensing story has changed more than once is harder to hold to account, whichever version is current.

Reachable from Ireland, protected by nobody here

It appears to take Irish customers: Anjouan's standard excluded-countries list does not include Ireland, and the brand is reviewed for an Irish audience. But being reachable is not the same as being protected. An Anjouan licence gives an Irish player no access to the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland, no Irish complaints route and none of the duties Irish law already places on its own licensees.

That is the standard position for every offshore casino. It is worth stating plainly here because the name invites the opposite assumption. For the wider picture, see our guide to the Irish licensing position.

What we could not check

• The operator's own site refused our connection at the last check; earlier it sat behind a bot-protection wall, which we did not try to get past.
• No payment list, withdrawal times, minimum deposit or app could be confirmed.
• No current Dublinbet bonus, no deposit offer, promo code or free spins could be verified, so none is listed.

Searches for a "Dublinbet app" and "Dublinbet withdrawal" are steady. We have no figures to give, and say so plainly. A player who cannot find payout times in a casino's own terms before depositing has learned something useful about that casino already.

Five checks before trusting an Irish-sounding casino

1. Find the company. A real operator names its licensed company in the footer and the terms. Dublinbet's own pages could not be read; the company name came from a third party.
2. Match the licence number to the regulator. A number you cannot look up on the regulator's own register is a claim, not a licence.
3. Read the restricted-countries clause. If Ireland is listed, stop there.
4. For betting, check the GRAI register. Since 1 July 2026 every online bookmaker serving Ireland needs a GRAI licence, and the register is public.
5. Ask who would hear your complaint. For an Anjouan casino the honest answer is: not anyone in Ireland.

Dublinbet fails the first, second and fifth on the evidence available today.

Dublinbet casino and sister sites

The product is an online casino; nothing in our research confirms a sportsbook or racing. No sister brands under Samaki Limited were confirmed. If the attraction was a casino with some Irish connection, there is none to be had: no casino holds an Irish licence, because GRAI gaming licensing is only expected in early 2027. Our casinos hub ranks brands under Maltese or British licences instead, which at least answer to regulators with teeth.

The Dublinbet verdict

Swerve, with no link from us. The Irish name buys nothing in law, and its form line carries the weakest licence score we give. Strictly 18+; if you gamble anywhere, set a deposit limit first and keep the responsible gambling contacts to hand.
