Regulation of online casinos in Ireland
There is no online casino legislation in Ireland. The non-profit trade association The Gaming and Leisure Association of Ireland (after this — GLAI, Association) operates in the country. It created to coordinate the actions of the representatives of Ireland in the EU. It includes private gaming clubs and online casino operators.
GLAI members adhere to the principles of association. They outlined in the Code of Practice.
To become a member of the GLAI, the organization fills out an application that the Executive Committee is considering. Members of the Association receive a GLAI certificate.
It defines gambling regulation: the licensing procedure, the creation of the regulatory body, and its powers.
The main goals of this law are:
- the honesty of online gambling;
- protecting vulnerable people, including children, from participating in online games;
- elimination of risks in which wagering can contribute to illegal activities (money laundering, terrorist financing);
- protection of the rights of players.
