Challenges for Ireland online gaming firms

Despite the enormous popularity of online gaming in Ireland, iGaming businesses can struggle with accessing payment accounts in the country– and all payment providers must be approved by the country’s regulatory authority. This can make finding a suitable banking partner a challenge.

Who regulates online gaming in Ireland?

At the time of writing (early 2023), Ireland’s Revenue Commission is responsible for regulating the market. However, the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) should be established by the end of 2023 and will take on all responsibilities going forward.
