Ireland’s Minister for Justice has announced that the launch of the country’s overhauled gambling regulatory framework will be delayed until at least 2021.
Focused on the entire range of available gambling products, Ireland’s Gaming and Lotteries Bill 2019 was signed into law in December 2019 and will come with a variety of new measures, including limits on gaming machines and maximum prizes, among others.
According to Minister of State, the legislation should have arrived at some point this year, but the Justice Department notified lawmakers and the government that it would need more time to launch the new regulatory framework.
Reports indicate that Ireland has seen a surge in online betting, with fears of a rise in gambling addiction. With a broad scope, the bill is aimed at regulating public safety and consumers well-being, covering both brick-and-mortar and online gambling activities, as well as regulating advertising and gambling websites.
