Core source map
- Primary law
Gambling Regulation Act 2024
The Act is the base source for licensing, advertising controls, inducements, safer-gambling duties, and the creation of Ireland's new regulator.
- Regulator
GRAI
The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland is the authority to watch for licensing, guidance, register updates, enforcement notices, and safer-gambling systems.
- Advertising
ASAI Code — Gambling
Advertising rules matter because gambling content can easily cross from information into promotion. This site treats inducements and bonuses as restricted commercial territory.
- Public guidance
Citizens Information
Useful plain-English context, used as a secondary source alongside the Act and regulator material. It does not replace the primary legal text.
