One of our most important functions here at onlinecasino.ie is to do all we can to advise new online casino games players on which of the many online casinos now available in Ireland is safe to use and provides a good range of casino games to choose from. The first part of this objective is relatively easy to achieve and all the online casinos we have included in our recommended list satisfy that requirement to the full, but the second element is becoming a little more difficult in spite of the ever expanding range of casino games featured on each individual online casino site. Part of the reason for this lies in the fact that most of the major online casino operators have ensured that they satisfy their necessary privacy and personal security obligations by employing specialist online casino software companies to build and manage their sites. This has led to a certain amount of market dominance by one or two of these software companies. For most internet based service providers this would not be a problem, but when it comes to the online casino sector the software provider has another important role. The vast majority of the casino games available at our online casinos are of course variations of slots games, and these games are designed and built by the software suppliers. We therefore have a situation where several online casino operators are using the same casino software supplier, so many of the casino games available on these sites are almost identical which means that our choices are more limited than appears at first. There is no doubt that we at onlinecasino.ie remain hugely supportive of the progress made by the online casinos in many areas, but we also think this is a worrying trend. There are of course still a number of major online casinos using their own software, including Paddy Power, and there are also a number of smaller online casinos such as the All Irish casino and the No Bonus casino, all of which feature exclusive games for those of us seeking something different.
