Summary
Ireland's Gambling Regulatory Authority set out the business-to-consumer licence types available under the Gambling Regulation Act 2024, which requires anyone providing gambling activities in the state to hold a licence. The initial categories cover in-person and remote betting, remote betting intermediaries, in-person and remote gaming, and lottery licences. The GRAI said prediction market operators providing betting activities fall within the remote betting intermediary definition and need a licence before serving Irish consumers.
Why it matters
Prediction market operators must hold a remote betting intermediary licence before serving Irish consumers under the 2024 Act.
