Irish Revenue confirms GRAI now handles remote betting licences
Irish Revenue states that, from 5 February 2026, the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland became the licensing authority for all forms of betting licences, including remote betting intermediary licences. Revenue no longer issues this licence type.
The change identifies the authority responsible for new licensing decisions. It does not mean that every gambling website accessible from Ireland is licensed, and it is not an endorsement of any operator, payment method or promotion.
A player checking a service should compare the exact company and domain shown in the operator's terms with current regulatory information. A familiar brand name, an advertisement or the ability to open an account is not evidence of an active Irish licence.
The transfer also matters when reading older licence claims. A page that still points only to the previous Revenue process may be out of date, so the operator's current legal entity, licence type and complaint route should be checked before registration or payment.
Licence information does not verify a bonus. Wagering requirements, excluded games, maximum stakes, withdrawal limits and identity checks remain separate terms that must be read in the offer that applies to the exact account and domain.
This article is a regulatory update, not a casino ranking or advice to deposit. If the company, licence or terms cannot be verified clearly, the cautious choice is not to create an account or transfer money.
The linked Irish Revenue page is the primary source for the transfer of betting-licensing responsibility and records the effective date. Readers should still use the regulator's latest information for a current operator-specific check.
How the source defines this report
The report “Irish Revenue confirms GRAI now handles remote betting licences” is based on Irish Revenue's publication dated 2026-07-17. We use it only for the specific regulatory step, study result or official update described for Ireland; it is not a recommendation of a casino, bonus or payment method.
When checking “Irish Revenue confirms GRAI now handles remote betting licences” later, compare the date, exact domain and Irish Revenue's current information. An older article does not by itself confirm a current licence or account term. If the original source changes, its latest published information takes priority over this summary.
Irish Revenue supports the event reported in “Irish Revenue confirms GRAI now handles remote betting licences”, not every commercial condition in Ireland. Check the company, exact domain, current licence, payments and account terms separately. Record the date checked so a later update is not confused with the information available when the article was published. If an essential detail cannot be verified from the current primary source, keep it unresolved and do not rely on an older summary for a deposit or account decision.
