Gambling regulator set to be in place by summer

Minister of state James Browne said there will be no specific legislation around video game 'loot boxes'.

The long-delayed gambling regulator could be in place by the summer, with plans in train to limit spending, require age verification, and introduce measures to curb advertising.

James Browne, minister of state at the Department of Justice with responsibility for law reform, told the Irish Examiner that the Government wants the regulator in place by summer, with legislation to follow.
