Ireland’s GRAI export retrieved on 5 October 2026 contains 36 licence rows across 35 distinct account names: 32 Remote Betting, three Remote Betting Intermediary and one In-person Betting. Platinum Gaming Limited records 32Red and Unibet under Remote Betting, while Tonybet OU has a separate Remote Betting record. The export publishes no consumer domains and contains no Remote Gaming row, so each finding remains limited to the recorded entity, trading name and activity.

Current GRAI licence export
The official downloadable export retrieved on 5 October 2026 contains 36 rows across 35 distinct account names: 32 Remote Betting, three Remote Betting Intermediary and one In-person Betting. Exchange Platform Solutions Limited accounts for the only duplicate account name because it holds one RB and one RBI licence.
GRAI downloadable licence registerRemote betting commenced
Key date:
GRAI remote-betting licences began on 1 July 2026. Licensees are subject to age verification, payment-of-winnings duties, ongoing monitoring, sanctions and enforcement against unlicensed activity.
GRAI remote-betting commencementPhased market transition
The 5 October 2026 export includes Remote Betting, Remote Betting Intermediary and one In-person Betting record, with no Remote Gaming row. GRAI introduces categories in phases; a published Remote Gaming licence description does not establish that applications are open or that an operator holds that permission. Existing licensing bodies remain responsible until the relevant provisions commence.
GRAI licence phasing and application guidanceMinimum age: 18
Gambling is restricted to people aged 18 or over. Licence-holder advertising must state that under-18s are prohibited, and operators must apply age-verification requirements.
GRAI protection of young peoplePayment and account safeguards
Credit cards and gambling credit are prohibited. Remote operators must provide monetary limits, account information, regular spend-and-time alerts and account closure on request.
GRAI player-safety requirementsNational self-exclusion in development
The Act provides for a National Gambling Exclusion Register, but GRAI describes the central system as being developed. Atlas does not present it as operational until the regulator confirms launch.
