Gambling Legislation in Ireland
In Ireland, online gambling is regulated under the Betting (Amendment) Act 2015 and the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956 (as amended).
- All operators must hold a valid remote betting license from the Irish Revenue Commissioners to offer services legally to residents of Ireland.
- Irish players are not taxed on their winnings from online casinos or sports betting; instead, the operator is responsible for any applicable taxes.
- The minimum legal gambling age in Ireland is 18 years.
- VPN use for gambling is legal, but operators may restrict accounts if it leads to technical or licensing issues.
Granawin operates under a Curacao license, which is recognized for international iGaming but is not a local Irish license. Irish players can legally register and use the platform as it falls under the category of offshore licensed casinos.
