Ireland Rolls Out 30-Point Plan to Curb Gambling-Linked Money Laundering

GamblingNews.com · 4d ago

Ireland's gambling authority has published a national risk assessment alongside a 30-point action plan targeting money laundering in the betting and gaming sector, flagging remote bookmakers and private members' clubs as particular risk areas. The plan would bring previously unlicensed clubs under formal oversight, push operators toward closed-loop payment systems, and tighten rules around cryptocurrency use. Authorities ultimately want to fold the country's fragmented oversight into a single regulatory body.
