A new era of gambling regulation in Ireland will be ushered in next week when licensing changes will include obligations regarding the payout of winnings and closure of accounts.
Remote gambling operations are set to come under the remit of the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) from July 1, with a register to be published on that date detailing those licensed under the new regime.
Betfred have already informed their customers in Ireland they will be taking a “temporary pause” at the end of the month as they transfer to the new licensing system. It is expected some bookmakers who have been granted a license will not appear on the list due to outstanding queries.
