Ireland's gambling regulator GRAI has opened licence applications across three categories on 9 February 2026, marking a significant milestone for the country's regulated betting market.
The licensing portal now accepts applications for Remote Betting Licence, Remote Betting Intermediary Licence, and In-Person Betting Licence. Operators can access the dedicated Operator Portal to register and initiate their applications immediately.
This development follows Minister O'Callaghan signing the Commencement Order for Licensing, establishing the regulatory framework for Ireland's modernised gambling sector.
Market Entry Opportunity
The simultaneous opening of multiple licence categories signals Ireland's commitment to comprehensive market regulation. Operators seeking market entry can now navigate a unified application process through GRAI's digital platform, streamlining what has traditionally been a fragmented licensing landscape.
According to GRAI.
