Description
Gambling Law in Ireland is a detailed guide to the Gambling Regulation Act 2024. It provides a practical explanation of the legislation in Ireland governing gambling activities, including bookmakers, casinos, online gambling and gaming providers, lotteries, bingo halls, and gaming events established for charitable or philanthropic purposes.
The book sets out a brief history of the regulatory landscape governing gambling in Ireland through the years, culminating in the recently enacted Gambling Regulation Act 2024. It examines the purpose of the new Act, as well as the new licensing regime, the requirements and obligations imposed on licensees, conditions attached to licences, and the measures of enforcement in place.
The book also explores the wider context of gambling law, covering advertising, tax issues applicable to operators in Ireland, and anti-money laundering obligations.
With the Gambling Regulation Act 2024 reforming the law relating to gambling in Ireland, this title is essential reading for licensing lawyers and in-house counsel for operators with activities in Ireland.
This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Irish Civil Litigation and UK Licensing Law online services.
