Betfred has confirmed to SBC News that it is “taking a temporary pause” in Ireland amid wholesale regulatory changes in the market.
The decision by Betfred to halt its operations in Ireland is in response to significant regulatory adjustments in the country. The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) will soon be responsible for online gambling licensing, prompting this strategic move by Betfred.
This development reflects a broader trend of operators adapting to the evolving regulatory landscape in Ireland. While Betfred is among the latest to make such a decision, other operators are also reevaluating their presence in the Irish market.
