GRAI seeks licence interest ahead of Ireland application windows
Ireland’s Gambling Regulatory Authority began asking prospective licensees to register their interest on 27 March as it prepares its licensing system. Chief executive Anne-Marie Caulfield said betting applications could open before the end of the year, online gaming applications in early 2026 and other licensing phases through 2027; charity applications are not expected to open this year.
Operators and suppliers can use the registration process to indicate which licence categories they may seek.
