Minors barred from betting on horses and dogs at Tote

The horse and greyhound racing industries have banned the long-standing practice of allowing under-age on-track gambling.

Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) and the Irish Greyhound Board (IGB) confirmed they have both introduced an ‘Age Aware’ initiative at their racing stadiums countrywide to prevent under 18s from placing bets with the Tote.

In recent years, both organisations have invested heavily in the development and promotion of their facilities as family friendly.
