GRAI publishes application guidelines ahead of Ireland licensing window

Licences & markets

Ireland’s Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRAI) has published application guidelines for business-to-consumer and business-to-business gambling licences. The regulator expects to open applications in the second half of 2025, with the market due to launch in 2026; applicants must publish a notice of intention at least 28 days before applying.

Operators and suppliers can use the guidance to prepare applications before the expected licensing window opens.
