Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland
Irish gambling regulator implementing phased betting and gaming licensing

GRAI was established in March 2025 to regulate betting, casinos, gaming, lotteries, gambling software, and remote gambling in Ireland, excluding the National Lottery. Licensing is being introduced in phases, with betting applications opening in 2026, so the profile does not imply that every class or legacy operator has already migrated. Published safeguards include a credit-card prohibition as the relevant obligations commence.
