GRAI seeks licence interest ahead of Ireland application windows

Licences & markets

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.
