Ireland’s Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRAI) began operations on March 5, 2024, tasked with enforcing the Gambling Regulation Act 2024. The GRAI, led by CEO Anne-Marie Caulfield and overseen by Paul Quinn, currently has seven board members. The authority aims to open betting license applications, both online and on-site, before the year ends. Online gaming licenses will follow in early 2026, with the licensing process extending to 2027, covering charities and business-to-business operations. Companies interested in licenses were invited to register in March. The new regulations include advertising restrictions from 5:30am to 9pm to protect children. Licensed operators will contribute to a Social Impact Fund, with the percentage yet to be determined, to support gambling education, research, and treatment.
