GRAI and UK Gambling Commission Sign MoU

The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the UK Gambling Commission on 2 April 2025.

This agreement establishes a framework for cooperation and sets out the broad principles of collaboration between the Gambling Regulator and the UK Gambling Commission. The shared aims of both regulators are to enable closer working relationships which will enhance each organisation’s ability to discharge their respective duties and functions.

As well as signing the document, there was a constructive bilateral meeting which discussed areas such as compliance, monitoring and enforcement, alongside other regulatory matters relevant to both jurisdictions.

This is the first of a series of MOUs which the GRAI intends to put in place with other Gambling Regulators across the EU in the months ahead.

CEO of the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland, Anne Marie Caulfield, said: “This Memorandum of Understand with the UK Gambling Commission is an important step in formalising the working relationship between the two regulators and I would like to thank Andrew Rhodes, and a number of his colleagues across the various areas of the Commission for their advice and support over the past number of months. Ireland and the UK share many of the same operators and gambling practices, so putting this agreement in place will enhance our ability to share information and discharge our respective regulatory responsibilities effectively. Open dialogue and close cooperation between both jurisdictions is paramount and I greatly look forward to continuing this close cooperation’s for the years to come.”
