Betting sites in Ireland: GRAI, bookmakers and exchanges
Betting sites in Ireland now need to be understood through the GRAI licensing transition. Revenue states that the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland became the licensing authority for betting licences from 5 February 2026. Older references to Revenue alone no longer explain the current application system.

6GRAI betting licences and the Revenue transition
GRAI betting licences and the Revenue transition are explained by Revenue's remote bookmaker guidance. The GRAI application announcement lists remote betting, remote betting intermediary and in-person betting categories.
An application is different from a licence grant, and an older register can describe a previous licensing period. Read the holder, activity and dates together. A foreign licence should never be substituted for evidence relevant to the Irish service.
Irish bookmakers and betting exchanges
Irish bookmakers and betting exchanges differ in how a bet is matched. A bookmaker offers its own price; an exchange allows customers to take opposing positions under the platform's rules. GRAI's category guidance distinguishes remote betting from remote intermediary activity.
Compare BoyleSports, Paddy Power and Betfair using the product actually offered. On an exchange, the displayed price is only part of the comparison: commission, liquidity and whether the full stake was matched can affect the result.
Irish horse racing and each-way terms
Irish horse racing and each-way terms need more attention than the headline odds alone. A win selection and an each-way selection commit money differently. The place fraction and number of places should be visible before the bet is confirmed.
Extra-place promotions may apply only to specified races and may use different conditions from the standard market. Non-runners, withdrawals and abandoned meetings can affect settlement. A ticket receipt should preserve the event, market and accepted terms so there is a clear basis for any later query.
Euro deposits and withdrawal conditions
Euro deposits and withdrawal conditions vary by bookmaker and payment method. Read the current cashier rather than a historic comparison promising a fixed minimum. The account holder and payment owner should match, and a withdrawal may require identity checks.
Bonuses can place conditions on promotional funds that do not apply to an ordinary cash balance. Examine expiry, qualifying odds and withdrawal restrictions before accepting an offer. Betting sites in Ireland should also provide clear support and safer-gambling controls, without requiring a customer to rely on promotional messages.

Ireland's licensing transition explained
Does Revenue still explain the whole Irish betting licensing process?
No. Revenue identifies GRAI as the betting licensing authority from February 2026, with transitional arrangements explained in official guidance.
Is a remote intermediary licence the same as a bookmaker licence?
No. GRAI distinguishes a facility for customers to bet with one another from a service taking bets itself.
