DragonBet makes Ireland entry with remote bookmaker license — CDC Gaming

DragonBet, an operator incorporated in England and Wales, has been granted a Remote Bookmaker’s License to expand its reach into Ireland.

The news was announced on the company’s LinkedIn page, accompanied by a statement reading “we’re incredibly excited to welcome our new Irish customers as the business begins operating in a new country”.

Licensing duties are currently being handled by Ireland’s Revenue Commissioners tax entity. Interestingly, this is a process that has remained virtually unchanged since the last century, as set out in the Betting Act 1931 and the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956.

However, this is due to change soon, with oversight duties transferred to the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) – a brand-new entity created with a recent legislative update to renew the very outdated gambling frameworks.
