Betfred to Pause Irish Operations Ahead of New Gambling Licensing Regime

GamblingNews.com · 5d ago

Betfred will temporarily suspend its Irish operations from June 30, becoming the latest operator to step back from the market just before Ireland's new Gambling Regulatory Authority licensing rules take effect July 1. The company has told customers to withdraw funds and avoid placing bets that would settle after the cutoff, though it says existing World Cup wagers will still be honored. Remote operators can begin relaunching once the new licensing framework opens, while land-based rules follow in December.
