GRAI says 10% of Irish sports bettors wager at work
The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) cited preliminary Economic and Social Research Institute findings that 10% of sports bettors wager while at work and 10% of gamblers hold four or more betting accounts. GRAI chief executive Anne Marie Caulfield said about a quarter of gamblers receive daily betting notifications, which people will be able to opt out of under forthcoming legislation; the full report is due in early 2026.
The findings and planned opt-out provision inform Irish consumer-protection policy and operators’ marketing practices.
