Register will let problem gamblers self-exclude from betting online 

A person on a proposed National Exclusion Register would be prevented from using gambling websites and apps and those facilitating their betting could face fines.

Ireland’s first gambling regulator is advancing plans to create a National Exclusion Register to allow people to prevent themselves from gambling online.

Although the legislation that would grant significant powers to the Gambling Regulatory Authority did not pass through all stages of the Oireachtas before the summer recess, work is still ongoing in multiple areas to prepare for these laws being enacted.
