Is online gambling legal in Ireland?

Ireland licenses online sports betting today, and online casino licensing is due in a later phase of the new GRAI regime.

Licensing
Remote betting is licensed, and GRAI now issues Remote Betting and Remote Betting Intermediary licences under the Gambling Regulation Act 2024. Gaming licences come in later phases, so online casino has no licensing route yet. Offering betting without a GRAI licence is a serious offence.

GRAI's licence register, live since the first business-to-consumer licences of July 2026, lists remote betting and remote betting intermediary licence holders with their trading names (bet365, Paddy Power, Betfair, BoyleSports, William Hill and others) but no web addresses; the domain field on each holder's entry is empty. No gaming (online casino) licences have been issued yet. Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) ↗
