Transitioning Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland
Ireland’s first GRAI remote-betting licences commenced on 1 July 2026. The live register contained 18 valid Business-to-Consumer remote-betting licensees when Atlas rechecked it on 3 August 2026. Seven of the 15 Atlas brand relationships now match current licensees, including newly added 888Sport and William Hill records; eight other relationships remain not listed. Remote gaming, lotteries and other licence categories remain in phased transition.
