I am advised by Revenue that the Betting Act 1931 (as amended by the Betting Amendment Act 2015), provides the legislative basis for licensing and control of Bookmakers, Remote Bookmakers, and Remote Betting Intermediaries. These licences fall within the general category of licences known as Excise Licences, which are issued by Revenue under various statutes.
Revenue maintains and publishes a register of all licensed remote bookmaking operations and the current register can be located and viewed at: https://www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/excise/licences/licensed-remote-bookmaking-operations.aspx
Revenue has confirmed that the company (details provided) has been issued with a license to provide remote bookmaking services within the State, in accordance with the requirements of the Act.
