CASINO REVIEW

DublinBet presents the only live online casino that originates from an actual casino. The dealers and tables shown in the video are coming live 24/7 from the Fitzwilliam Casino in Dublin, Ireland. Looking at the dealer as you play makes this a very real experience but hearing the Irish casino patrons talking and laughing around you really does make you feel like you’re actually at the Fitzwilliam!

On your screen, the playing area is very clearly laid out and the video quality is excellent, even when you switch to Full Screen – which I recommend you do!

There are more games on offer here than you’ll find at many live dealer casinos. In addition to Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat you’ll also find Sic Bo and Texas Hold’em. There are both regular and high limit Baccarat and Roulette games.

DublinBet is available in English, French, Spanish, German, Greek, Polish, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified). The dealers, however, all speak English.

Dealers

The Dealers at the Fitzwilliam are a tad matronly and are dressed quite plainly. If you’re looking for eye candy while you play, this may not be the casino for you. Also, while the casino may be in Dublin you won’t hear the dealers speaking with a lilting Irish accent. Most, like their names, appear to be eastern European.

Games

  • Blackjack Early Payout
  • Roulette
  • Roulette High Limit
  • Punto Banco/Baccarat
  • Punto Banco/Baccarat High Limit
  • Texas Hold’em Bonus (06:00 – 17:00 GMT only) 

In addition to one of the best selections of live casino games available, DublinBet also has a complete choice of traditional online casino games including table games (poker, blackjack, sic bo, roulette, ), sic bo, slots, keno and video poker.

4 Reasons to See for Yourself

The excellent visuals and the selection of games are the best features of DublinBet live dealer casino. But here are some more reasons we recommend that you check it out for yourself if you’re interested in playing at a live dealer casino.

1. Play for Free

This is a real benefit and not all live dealer casinos give you the opportunity to sample the games before you get out your credit card. While some require a full registration before giving you access to their free games, DublinBet just asks for your email address before whisking you into the casino.

The Play for Free or “Non Financial Member” mode at DublinBet is exactly like the real money games. All of the games available for real money are also available for free and game play is exactly the same – you’re just playing for “Fun Points” rather than actual currency. That means you can sample the games before you risk any of your own real money. That’s especially important if you’re trying games that you’re not so familiar with. I can dive into any Blackjack game anytime anywhere, but I still like to play Sic Bo and Baccarat for free first.

2. Instant Play

DublinBet is an instant-play online casino. You don’t download and install the software, you play the games in your web browser using a Java application. When you click on Play Now you may get a window asking if it’s OK with you to start the Java application but after that it’s straightaway to the games.

3. Money Back Guarantee

As you make your deposit at DublinBet you are reminded of their money back guarantee:  “If you are totally dissatisfied with the service you have received, we will consider your case and refund your purchase so long as your reason is valid.”

4. Customization

Click on the Options button at the bottom of the screen and you can personalize your playing experience in several ways. You can adjust the volume of the sounds or you can shut off the audio, game sounds or game announcements, and you can turn off the help balloons that pop up when you hover your cursor over something on the screen. The Options menu is also where you can choose to have the casino fill your full screen or display in a window only.

No One’s Perfect

Overall I’m amazed by DublinBet, but there are one or two things I think they can improve (and that they probably will in time…)  It’s actually bloody amazing what they can do these days, isn’t it? Bring a live casino table to your laptop wherever you may be? Even so, I do have a couple of niggly complaints, er, suggestions.

First, I think they should make it much easier to switch from having the games in a window to having them fill your full screen. Full screen they look fantastic. However, if you’re popping in and out of the game, doing other things on your computer at the same time, you might want to switch to a window though. Right now, you have to leave your game, go to the Options menu, reset the Full Screen setting, and – at least on my good-but-not-fantastic laptop – wait for your computer to blink in and out.

Also, I can keep track of my account in Euros alright of course, but I’d rather see everything displayed in GBP.

One thing that drove me a bit mad was the shuffling process. I realize since they’re using actual cards they do have to be shuffled, in plain view. But somehow, online, the whole process seems overly laborious, to me anyway. Does give you a minute to nip to the kitchen for sustenance I suppose, but sometimes I’d like to just get on with the game a little more quickly.

I must say I like the pace of the games at DublinBet, though. I often find games go a little too quickly and find a slightly slower pace more relaxing. You can keep things hopping by playing more than one hand if you prefer a more fast-paced game.  That way you’re playing several hands against one of the dealer’s… If you like things to clip along you’ll appreciate there’s no dawdling between deals, average 20 seconds.

Not really much to complain about – this really is a wonderful online casino experience that I hope you’ll try for yourself.

Customer Service

There are UK and Australian fax numbers posted on the site but there is no Customer Service telephone number and no Live Chat customer service either. Fortunately they provide excellent support by email.

Just to see how they’d respond, I contacted DublinBet at support@dublinbet.com with a simple question about where they are licensed. I’m happy to say that they responded almost instantly with a complete and helpful answer to my question.
