Casinos in Ireland: 2026 guide

Regulated market: licences are issued by Revenue Commissioners โ€” Remote Bookmaker's Licence. Operators holding one work legally; the rest accept players from abroad.

Regulation

Ireland long had fragmented and outdated gambling legislation but is undertaking a major reform: a new regulator has been created โ€” the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI), being established in 2024-2025, which will license online and land-based gambling and oversee advertising and player protection. Previously online casinos existed in a lightly regulated environment, while betting was taxed on turnover. The new system introduces licensing, advertising restrictions, mandatory responsible-gambling measures and a national fund to tackle gambling addiction. The currency is the euro; bank cards, transfers and e-wallets are used. Players' winnings are generally untaxed. Players should follow the launch of GRAI licences and choose operators that meet the new requirements.
