Rules and Policies (Ireland)

Local regulations in Ireland

Vave Casino is operated internationally under a Curaçao eGaming licence and is not separately licensed in Ireland. The framework and authorities most relevant to players in Ireland are summarised below.

Gambling laws differ from region to region and change over time. It is your responsibility to make sure that online gambling is permitted where you live before you create an account or place a bet.

Terms & Conditions

By registering an account you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted these terms, and that you meet the minimum legal gambling age in Ireland, which is 18. You also confirm that online gambling is legal in your place of residence and that you are acting on your own behalf.

Each player may hold only one account. Accounts are personal and non-transferable, and you are responsible for keeping your login details and two-factor authentication secure. Vave may request identity verification at any time and may suspend an account pending checks.

All bonuses and promotions are subject to their own terms, including minimum deposits, wagering requirements and expiry periods. Vave reserves the right to withhold winnings obtained through fraud, bonus abuse, or a breach of these terms. Vave operates under its Curaçao licence; in Ireland, gambling activity is overseen by authorities such as the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI).

These terms are governed by the operator's licensing jurisdiction. Nothing here overrides mandatory consumer-protection rights you may have in Ireland.

Privacy Policy

Vave collects the personal data you provide at registration (such as your name, email, date of birth and country) together with technical data (such as your IP address, device and usage information) in order to operate your account, process payments, comply with legal obligations and prevent fraud.

For players in Ireland, the applicable data protection framework is the EU GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and the competent supervisory authority is the Data Protection Commission (DPC). You have the right to access, correct, delete and port your data, to object to certain processing and to lodge a complaint with that authority.

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to provide the service and to meet legal, tax and anti-money-laundering obligations. Data may be shared with payment providers, identity-verification services and regulators strictly on a need-to-know basis, and is protected with encryption in transit and at rest.

AML & KYC Policy

As a licensed operator, Vave applies a strict anti-money-laundering (AML) and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) programme. Before withdrawals above certain thresholds — and at any time deemed necessary — you may be asked to verify your identity, address and source of funds.

Typical documents include a government-issued photo ID (passport or driver's licence), a recent proof of address (utility bill or bank statement) and, where required, evidence of the source of your funds. Verification usually completes within 48 hours.

The relevant anti-money-laundering rules for players in Ireland include the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010 and the EU AML Directives, alongside the operator's own Curaçao AML obligations. Suspicious activity may be reported to the competent authorities, and accounts may be frozen where the law requires it.

Responsible Gaming

Gambling should stay a form of entertainment, never a way to earn income or recover losses. You must be of the minimum legal gambling age in Ireland, which is 18, to open an account.

Vave provides tools to help you stay in control, including deposit limits, betting caps, session reminders (reality checks), self-exclusion and account deactivation. You can set these in your account settings or ask customer support to apply them for you.

If gambling stops feeling like fun, please take a break and seek help. In Ireland, confidential support is available from services such as Problem Gambling Ireland and GamblingCare.ie. International support is also offered by GamCare and Gambling Therapy.
