Will Ireland Ban Gambling Bonuses? The Debate That Could Change the Industry

Will Ireland Ban Gambling Bonuses? The Debate That Could Change the Industry

The Irish Gambling Regulation Bill 2022 is nearing its final stages, but debates over the scope of gambling bonuses continue.

While an initial draft proposed an outright ban on gambling bonuses, amendments have allowed for free bets to remain. However, there are ongoing discussions about the potential risks and benefits of such promotions.

Senators Ruane and Wall support a complete ban on gambling bonuses, citing concerns for young people and the difficulty of enforcing regulations. Senator McGahon warns that a ban could drive players to the black market. Deputy Browne, while supporting a ban on targeted bonuses, opposes a complete ban on promotions.

The final decision on gambling bonuses will significantly impact the Irish gambling market. A complete ban could have unintended consequences, such as driving players to unregulated operators. On the other hand, allowing bonuses could raise concerns about protecting vulnerable players.

The debate highlights the delicate balance between protecting players and ensuring a competitive and viable gambling industry in Ireland. The future of gambling bonuses in Ireland hangs in the balance as the bill progresses through the legislative process.
