6. Business to Consumer Gambling as defined by the Gambling Regulation Act 2024

7.

8. These regulations prescribe certain information that remote gambling licensees must provide to accountholders, the intervals at which those licensees must send account-holder alerts detailing winnings and losses and the time spent gambling through their accounts, and the periods in respect of which those licensees must provide accountholders with immediate access to their gambling history.

9. These regulations are made under Section 173 of the Gambling Regulation Act with a view to reducing excessive and compulsive gambling.

9a. These regulations prescribe certain information that remote gambling licensees must provide to accountholders, the intervals at which those licensees must send account-holder alerts detailing winnings and losses and the time spent gambling through their accounts, and the periods in respect of which those licensees must provide accountholders with immediate access to their gambling history.
The stated aims of these regulations are to enhance effective intervention and oversight for the consumer and offer substantive consumer protection improvements for the player. The enhancements will require IT updates on the part of the operator as they will be requirements for remote betting licensees. (ie. Online customers with a gambling account with that licensee)
The commencement of said regulations will assist in supporting the consumer and therefore have strong public interest objectives. Substantial internal research was undertaken with comparative EU analysis with other gambling regulators which illustrates that the measures proposed in said regulations are proportional and not outside of gambling regulation consumer protection norms.

9b. These regulations will require system updates for website and app based remote operators to facilitate the changes to notification and limit setting as advocated in these regulations.
In terms of cross border trade, we are satisfied that the regulatory requirements which will apply to Irish remote betting are in the public interest and will be limited to system updates however enhanced player protection will incur the system and IT upgrades for licensees operating in Ireland.
Section 173 of the Gambling Regulation Act has no effect without regulations being made whereby the Authority must prescribe the means by which this regulation has effect and therefore no alternative is available outside of regulation making to allow this important consumer protection measure to take effect.
After research, dialogue with other regulators and substantive discussion by the Authority it was deemed the regulations to be proportionate, considered and consumer protection focused.

9c. As per research commissioned by the GRAI in 2023 and undertaken by the ESRI the prevalence of problem gambling in Ireland is much higher than previous research would suggest, including a major shift to online gambling from more traditional in-person gambling. Therefore, these regulations aimed at providing enhanced consumer protection are proportionate and trump any potential burden on operators which are limited in nature and are solely in relation to administration and system updates for their remote account holders.
We believe any slight burden on operators caused by these regulations are far outweighed in the enhanced protections offered to consumers from gambling harms.
