Operators That Chose Not to Apply
Several large international operators chose to geo-block Irish users rather than apply for a GRAI licence. These include Stake, Betfred, Kalshi and Polymarket. Irish players attempting to access these sites are now redirected or blocked.
What GRAI Licences Do Not Cover Yet
The current GRAI register covers betting only. Online casino licences (remote gaming licences) are a separate category. Applications open in a later phase, with licences expected in 2027–2028. No GRAI casino licence has been issued yet. See our no GRAI casino Ireland explainer.
