Crypto Casinos and Irish Law (October 2026)

No crypto or Bitcoin casino holds an Irish licence, because Ireland has not yet licensed online casino games at all. The Gambling Regulation Act 2024 created a new regulator, the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI), which began licensing remote betting on 1 July 2026 and plans to open applications for gaming licences, the category that covers online casinos, during 2027 and 2028. Until then, offshore crypto casinos that accept Irish players do so without Irish oversight, and none of the new consumer protections apply to them. This page sets out the position in October 2026 without recommending any site.

Before you play: a crypto casino serving Ireland today has no Irish licence, so the GRAI cannot help you if it refuses a withdrawal or keeps your balance. Under the new Act, operating without the required licence is a criminal offence for the operator, and that will cover online casino games once gaming licensing starts. Playing with an unlicensed site gives you no local protection.

The short version

• Online sports betting: licensed by the GRAI since 1 July 2026. Licensed bookmakers must verify age, pay out winnings, refuse credit cards and close accounts on request.
• Online casino games: no Irish licence exists yet. The GRAI says applications for gaming licences will open in 2027 and 2028.
• Crypto casinos: operate from abroad, mostly under Curaçao or Anjouan licences. Some, such as Stake, exclude Ireland in their own terms.
• Crypto itself: legal, regulated under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), and taxed at 31% Capital Gains Tax (33% for disposals before 7 October 2026) above a 1,270 euro annual exemption.
• Winnings: gambling winnings are not taxed in Ireland.
• Age: 18 for all gambling.

For an overview of how crypto casinos work and what to check in general, see our guide to Bitcoin and crypto casinos. The sections below explain the Irish law step by step.

The Gambling Regulation Act 2024

President Michael D. Higgins signed the Gambling Regulation Act 2024 into law on 23 October 2024. It replaces a patchwork of old laws, chiefly the Betting Act 1931 and the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956, with one licensing system run by one regulator. The Act covers betting, gaming and lotteries, online and in person, for consumers (B2C) and for suppliers (B2B).

The GRAI was formally established on 5 March 2025. Its job is to license operators, supervise them, investigate breaches and take action against unlicensed gambling. It can impose administrative sanctions of up to 20 million euro or 10% of turnover, whichever is higher, on licensees that break the rules.

Licence categories under the Act

The National Lottery stays under its own legislation and regulator. The GRAI’s own announcement of 1 July 2026 says that applications for further licences, “including gaming, lotteries, B2B, charitable and philanthropic”, will open throughout 2027 and 2028.

The old law and what it left out

Ireland’s previous framework grew in layers. The Betting Act 1931 licensed bookmakers and betting shops. Gaming and lotteries in physical premises fell under the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956, and a 2019 amendment updated its stake and prize limits for gaming machines without adding an online licence. In 2015, the Betting (Amendment) Act brought remote bookmakers and betting exchanges under Revenue licensing, so online sports betting already needed an Irish licence before the GRAI existed. Online casino games were never brought in. The 2024 Act repeals and replaces these laws as GRAI licensing takes over, which is why the betting rules changed first and the casino rules will come later.

The National Lottery sits outside all of this. It is run by a private operator under a state licence and supervised by its own regulator, and the 2024 Act does not move it to the GRAI.

Timeline: how Irish gambling regulation is rolling out

Are crypto casinos legal in Ireland?

Not in the sense of being licensed. No Irish authority has ever issued a licence for online casino games, and the GRAI will not start doing so before 2027. Crypto casinos that accept Irish players hold licences from elsewhere, usually Curaçao or Anjouan, and a few hold licences from EU regulators such as Malta. A foreign licence shows that a named company is supervised somewhere. It does not make that company an Irish licensee, and it does not give you any of the protections the 2024 Act creates.

For betting, the line is already clear. The GRAI has said publicly that “it is a criminal offence to operate without a betting licence” and that it has started identifying unlicensed operators. Once gaming licences commence, the same approach will extend to online casinos, including crypto casinos. The offence falls on the operator. We found nothing in the Act that makes it an offence for an adult to place a bet or play a game, and the GRAI’s messaging to the public is framed around the dangers of unlicensed sites rather than penalties for players.

Some offshore brands have already drawn their own line. Stake, for example, lists Ireland among the prohibited jurisdictions in clause 14.3 of its terms, so an Irish player who signs up anyway is breaking the casino’s contract and can lose winnings for it. Using a VPN to get around such a restriction breaches the terms of virtually every casino; do not do it.

Crypto sportsbooks are already on the wrong side of the line

The distinction between betting and gaming matters for crypto sites that offer both. Since 1 July 2026, remote betting offered to people in Ireland needs a GRAI licence, and the GRAI states that operating without one is a criminal offence. A crypto casino that also runs a sportsbook open to Irish customers is therefore offering an unlicensed betting service today, even though its casino side falls in the gap until gaming licences start. No GRAI licensee can take crypto deposits in any case, because licensees must meet the Act’s payment and anti-money-laundering rules.

Why Ireland has no online casino licence yet

The 1956 Gaming and Lotteries Act was written for halls and amusement arcades and never provided a licence for remote gaming. Remote betting was brought under Revenue licensing in 2015, but online casino games were left out, which is why EU-licensed online casinos served Irish players for years without an Irish licence. The 2024 Act closes that gap, but the GRAI chose to license betting first because it is the largest segment of the Irish market.

What the rules mean for a player in practice

In short, the legal risk for an Irish player is low and the financial risk is high. That balance will shift once gaming licences arrive and the GRAI turns its enforcement powers on unlicensed casinos, as it has already started to do for betting.

Protections that apply only to licensed operators

The Act brings in strong player protections, but they bind licensees. The main measures are:

• Credit ban: licensees may not accept credit cards or facilitate credit for gambling.
• Age verification: licensees must verify that customers are 18 or over.
• Payout and account rules: licensees must pay out winnings and close accounts on request.
• Advertising watershed: gambling advertising on television, radio and on-demand services is banned between 5.30am and 9pm.
• National Gambling Exclusion Register: a single register for self-exclusion from licensed operators, which the GRAI must set up. Check grai.ie for its launch before relying on it.
• Social Impact Fund: funded by licensees and used for treatment, education, awareness and research into gambling harm.

None of these reach a crypto casino licensed in Curaçao or Anjouan. That casino can accept card-funded crypto purchases, set its own limits, run promotions without a watershed and ignore a future Irish exclusion register.

Advertising, inducements and VIP schemes

Beyond the watershed, the Act restricts how licensed operators may market gambling. Inducements such as free bets and bonuses offered to encourage people to gamble, or to keep gambling, are restricted, VIP-style schemes that reward heavy play are prohibited, and advertising aimed at children or sponsorship of events for children is banned. Licensees must also offer tools such as deposit limits and time-outs. Crypto casinos built around large welcome packages, rakeback and VIP tiers would not fit this model, which is one reason they are unlikely to become GRAI licensees in their current form.

Northern Ireland is different

The 2024 Act applies to the Republic of Ireland only. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, where land-based gambling is governed by the Betting, Gaming, Lotteries and Amusements (Northern Ireland) Order 1985 and remote gambling offered to UK customers needs a licence from the UK Gambling Commission. That makes Northern Ireland one of the strictest places on this site’s map for crypto casinos: UKGC-licensed operators do not accept crypto deposits, and the offshore crypto brands we track all exclude the UK. Our UK Gambling Commission guide explains that regime.

Who runs the crypto casinos Irish players see

Most crypto casinos advertised to Irish users are licensed in Curaçao or in Anjouan, an island of the Union of the Comoros. Curaçao replaced its old master-licence system with the National Ordinance on Games of Chance (LOK), in force from 24 December 2024, under the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA). In September 2026 the CGA confirmed unauthorised access to its licensing portal on 17 and 22 September; the portal was still offline on 2 October 2026, and the CGA says existing licences remain valid. Anjouan licences are checked through the seal on each casino site, because a bare-domain lookup on the register can return INVALID.

Neither regulator has any role in Ireland, and neither checks whether a licensee respects Irish law. A licence number tells you which company to complain to, which is useful, but it is not evidence that the site is allowed to serve you.

What the GRAI will look for when gaming licences open

The GRAI’s licensing process for betting gives a preview of what online casinos will face. Applicants must show that they are fit and proper, that they have the financial capacity to provide gambling, and that winnings are funded from lawful means. Once licensed, they must meet every commenced obligation under the Act, from age checks and payout duties to the credit ban and account-closure rules. Operators whose model depends on anonymity, crypto-only cashiers or aggressive VIP rewards would need to change substantially to qualify.

Does an EU licence let a casino serve Irish players?

Many online casinos that accept Irish players hold a Malta Gaming Authority licence and rely on EU free movement of services. That argument has limits. The Court of Justice of the European Union confirmed on 16 April 2026, in case C-440/23, that member states may prohibit online casino games or make them subject to their own licence, and that a Malta licence does not replace a national one. Once Ireland’s gaming licences commence, an EU licence alone will not authorise an operator to serve Irish players, just as it does not today for Irish betting.

Crypto casinos rarely hold EU licences in the first place. Curaçao and Anjouan are outside the EU, so the free-movement argument does not apply to them at all.

How to check whether a gambling site is licensed in Ireland

1. For betting sites, find the GRAI licence. Licensed operators name the GRAI and their licence on their site; check the operator against the GRAI’s published list of licensees.
2. Look at the payment page. A GRAI licensee cannot accept credit cards. Crypto deposits at a betting site are a sign that it is not operating under an Irish licence.
3. Read the restricted-country clause. If Ireland appears, the operator does not want Irish customers and can void winnings.
4. Check the complaint route. A licensee should point you to its complaints process and the GRAI; an offshore site will name a foreign regulator or an ADR body.

Ireland compared with its neighbours

How offshore licences handle complaints

Because the GRAI has no power over an unlicensed casino, any dispute goes through the casino’s own licence. The routes differ:

Our licence guides describe each regulator, and the Malta Gaming Authority page covers the EU licence most often seen on Irish-facing sites.

Writing a complaint that gets read

Whichever route applies, a short, factual complaint works best. State your account name and ID, the amount and coin involved, the transaction IDs, the dates, what the casino told you and which clause of its terms you think it has broken. Ask for a specific outcome, such as payment of a named withdrawal, and give a deadline in line with the casino’s own complaint procedure. Keep copies of everything. If the casino does not answer within its stated time, send the same file to the dispute body named under its licence.

Crypto rules in Ireland

Owning, buying and selling crypto is legal in Ireland. Regulation comes from EU law. The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, known as MiCA, has applied in full since 30 December 2024, with transitional periods for existing firms ending by 1 July 2026. Crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) need authorisation from a national regulator, which in Ireland is the Central Bank of Ireland. A firm authorised in another EU member state can serve Irish customers under MiCA passporting, so check both the Central Bank’s register and the EU-wide register kept by ESMA.

MiCA authorisation brings concrete protections on the crypto side, even though it does nothing for gambling. Authorised providers must keep client crypto-assets segregated from their own, have a complaints-handling procedure, meet governance and capital requirements, and publish clear information on fees. A crypto casino that holds your coins offers none of that; its balance is simply a debt the operator owes you.

Two other EU rules matter for anyone moving coins to a casino. The transfer-of-funds regulation (EU) 2023/1113, applicable since 30 December 2024, makes providers collect sender and recipient information on crypto transfers, and for transfers over 1,000 euro to or from a self-hosted wallet they must assess whether you control it. The DAC8 directive extends tax reporting to crypto from 1 January 2026, so EU providers report customer transactions to tax authorities.

Some Irish banks and crypto providers also restrict transfers they link to gambling, and the Central Bank publishes warnings about unauthorised firms. Treat any platform that is not on a MiCA register, or that asks you to pay fees to release a balance, as a likely scam.

Moving crypto to and from a casino

A crypto casino deposit is a transfer from your exchange or wallet to an address in the casino cashier. It cannot be reversed. The coin and the network must match exactly: USDT, for instance, runs on several networks, and sending it on the wrong one usually loses it. Bitcoin deposits wait for network confirmations, and Ethereum fees vary with demand, though they fell after the Dencun upgrade of 13 March 2024. Our guides to Bitcoin at casinos and Ethereum at casinos explain confirmations and networks without pointing you to a site.

How crypto casinos work, in plain terms

Search results for crypto casinos in Ireland mostly describe the product without the legal context. For readers who want to understand what they are looking at, here is the neutral version.

• Studio games: slots and live dealer tables from the same providers used by licensed casinos. Fairness depends on the provider’s certified random number generator and on the casino running the certified version.
• Originals: in-house games such as crash, dice, plinko and mines, often with a published house edge of around 1% to 3%.
• Provably fair: a hashing method that lets you check that an original’s result was fixed before you bet and not changed afterwards. Our provably fair guide shows how the check works. It proves integrity of a single result, not that the casino will pay.
• Rakeback and VIP: a share of the house edge returned as you play. It encourages volume, which is exactly why the 2024 Act bans VIP schemes for licensees.
• Balances in coins: your balance may be held in BTC, ETH or USDT, so its euro value moves with the market while you play.

Coins and networks at a glance

Buying crypto in Ireland, step by step

1. Choose a provider authorised under MiCA, checking the Central Bank of Ireland register or the ESMA register for its legal name.
2. Complete identity verification. A provider that skips it is not operating under MiCA.
3. Fund the account in euro by the methods the provider lists, usually a SEPA bank transfer or debit card.
4. When withdrawing coins, check the address and network twice and send a small test amount first.
5. Record the date, amount and euro value of every purchase, transfer and sale for CGT.

Providers can ask why you are moving coins to an external address, and some decline transfers they link to gambling. Answering honestly avoids a frozen account.

Tax on gambling winnings and crypto in Ireland

Gambling winnings are not taxed in Ireland. Revenue lists winnings from betting, lotteries and similar games among the gains exempt from Capital Gains Tax, and they are not income for a recreational player. The operator side is taxed instead, through betting duty of 2% on bets placed with bookmakers.

Crypto is treated differently. Revenue has no special crypto regime and applies the normal rules. For an individual investor, disposing of crypto, which includes selling it, swapping it or spending it, is a disposal for CGT. Sending coins to a casino as a stake is a disposal too. The Revenue rate for most gains changed from 33% to 31% on 7 October 2026, and the first 1,270 euro of total chargeable gains each year is exempt.

Worked example

You bought 0.02 BTC for 1,500 euro and later sent it to a casino when it was worth 2,100 euro. That transfer is a disposal with a 600 euro gain. If it is your only gain that year, the 1,270 euro exemption covers it and no CGT is due. Suppose you then withdraw 0.03 BTC worth 3,000 euro and sell it two months later for 4,500 euro. The win is not taxed, but the later sale is a disposal with a 1,500 euro gain over the 3,000 euro value you received. If your earlier 600 euro gain fell in the same tax year, total gains of 2,100 euro minus the 1,270 euro exemption leave 830 euro taxable, and at the 31% rate that applies to disposals from 7 October 2026, the tax is about 257 euro.

A loss works the other way. If the coins you sent to a casino had fallen in value since you bought them, the transfer creates a capital loss that can reduce gains in the same year or later years. Losing the stake at the tables is not a capital loss, because gambling itself sits outside CGT.

When CGT is due

• Gains made from 1 January to 30 November: pay by 15 December of the same year.
• Gains made in December: pay by 31 January of the following year.
• Report the gains on your annual return (Form 11 for the self-employed, Form CG1 otherwise) by the return deadline.

Losses on crypto disposals can be set against gains, but gambling losses themselves are not deductible. Keep records of every purchase, transfer and sale with the euro value on the day. Revenue can ask for them, and with DAC8 reporting in place from 2026, the figures your exchange reports will be compared with what you declare. Swapping one coin for another counts as a disposal too, so a casino deposit that starts with converting euro-bought Bitcoin into USDT creates a taxable event before you place a single bet.

Crypto casino claims, checked against Irish law

Common myths

• “Online casinos are already regulated by the GRAI.” Only remote betting is licensed so far. Gaming licences follow in 2027-2028.
• “Crypto payments are invisible to Revenue.” EU providers report crypto transactions under DAC8 from 2026, and blockchain records are permanent.
• “An EU licence covers Ireland.” The CJEU has confirmed that member states can require their own licence.
• “Players will be prosecuted.” The offences in the Act target operators who provide gambling without a licence. The risk for players is losing money with no recourse.
• “The exclusion register will block every site.” It will cover GRAI licensees only.

The hidden costs of a crypto round trip

Moving euro through crypto costs money at each step: the exchange spread or fee when you buy, the network fee to send, any casino withdrawal fee, and the spread again when you sell. Price movement while coins sit in a casino balance can outweigh all of those. Each swap or sale is also a disposal for CGT. A player who deposits 300 euro of Bitcoin and later withdraws the same amount of Bitcoin can still end up with fewer euro, a tax record to keep and nobody in Ireland to complain to.

What Irish players can legally do

• Play the National Lottery online or in shops through the licensed operator.
• Use a licensed betting exchange or intermediary. These also need a GRAI licence since 1 July 2026, so the same protections apply.
• Try free-to-play versions. Demo modes of casino games and crash or dice games carry no stake, which makes them a safe way to understand house edge and volatility before deciding anything.
• Wait for gaming licences. Once the GRAI licenses online casinos, Irish players will have a regulated option with Irish complaint rights. Crypto deposits are unlikely to be part of it, because licensees will need to meet strict payment and anti-money-laundering rules.

If you compare Ireland with other markets on this site, Canada and Australia show two different ends of the spectrum: our pages on crypto casinos in Canada and the Australian ban explain how each country handles offshore sites.

Identity checks at offshore casinos

Crypto casinos advertise quick sign-ups, but their terms almost always allow identity and address checks before a withdrawal, and many apply them once total deposits or withdrawals pass an internal threshold. Expect to upload a passport or driving licence, a recent utility bill or bank statement with your Irish address, and sometimes proof of where the crypto came from. That is often the moment a casino that excludes Ireland closes an account. If you are not prepared to pass those checks with true documents, do not deposit.

Five questions before any deposit

1. Does the site’s own restricted list include Ireland?
2. Which company runs it, and which regulator would hear a complaint?
3. What are the withdrawal limits, fees and identity checks before payout?
4. Would you be comfortable losing the whole deposit with no one to appeal to?
5. Have you recorded the euro value of the crypto you are about to send?

If any answer is unclear, the safer choice is not to deposit. Waiting costs nothing, and the Irish market will look very different once the GRAI starts licensing online casinos with complaint rights you can actually use.

Risks of offshore crypto casinos for Irish players

• No Irish regulator: the GRAI cannot order an unlicensed casino to pay you.
• Restricted lists: some brands exclude Ireland and can void winnings when KYC shows your address.
• No exclusion register: the national register, once live, will cover licensed operators only.
• Irreversible payments: crypto transfers have no chargeback.
• Price risk: a coin balance can fall in euro terms while you play, and a winning session can still end in a loss once you convert back.
• Mirror sites and clones: blocked or rebranded casinos move between domains, and copycat sites imitate them to collect deposits.
• Tax records: crypto disposals still need to be reported.
• Scams: fake casinos and deepfake celebrity ads target Irish users; real casinos never charge a fee to release your balance.

If you already have money on an offshore site

1. Stop depositing and decline any bonus that locks your balance.
2. Request a withdrawal to a wallet you control, on the same coin and network you deposited with.
3. Answer KYC truthfully. A false country or address gives the casino grounds to keep the balance.
4. Keep evidence: screenshots, chat transcripts and every transaction ID.
5. Use the complaint route under the casino’s licence if the withdrawal stalls.
6. Report fraud to An Garda Síochána if the site turns out to be fake, and tell your bank and exchange at once.

Crypto and casino scams in Ireland

Fake casinos and fake crypto platforms often look alike. Contact usually starts on social media, a dating app or a messaging group, sometimes with a deepfake video of a well-known person. The site shows a growing balance, may pay a small first withdrawal, then demands a “tax” or “unlock fee” before any larger payout. No legitimate casino charges a fee to release your own money, and no Irish tax is collected by a gambling website. The Central Bank of Ireland keeps a list of unauthorised firms, and the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau takes reports of investment and crypto fraud.

What to watch in 2027 and 2028

• Gaming licence applications: the GRAI says they will open during 2027 and 2028. The first licensed Irish online casinos will follow.
• The National Gambling Exclusion Register: once live, one registration should exclude you from every GRAI licensee.
• Enforcement against unlicensed sites: the GRAI has begun identifying unlicensed betting operators and will be able to apply the same approach to casinos once gaming licensing starts.
• Social Impact Fund grants: funding for treatment, education and research into gambling harm.

We will update this page when gaming licences open. Until then, the honest summary is that Ireland has a modern law, a working regulator for betting and no regulated home for online casinos yet.

Key terms

• GRAI: the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland, the independent regulator created by the 2024 Act.
• Remote betting licence: the GRAI licence for online and phone betting, in force from 1 July 2026.
• Gaming licence: the future GRAI licence for casino games, slots and poker, online or in person.
• B2B licence: a licence for suppliers of games and platforms to licensed operators.
• CASP: a crypto-asset service provider authorised under MiCA.
• DAC8: the EU directive that extends tax reporting to crypto transactions from 2026.
• ADR: alternative dispute resolution, the route most offshore licences offer for complaints.

Help and support in Ireland

The ESRI research commissioned for the GRAI found harmful gambling in Ireland far more widespread than earlier surveys suggested. Free help is available, and the GRAI lists these services:

HSE Addiction Services also provide treatment for gambling. Our responsible gambling page explains the limit and self-exclusion tools inside casino accounts.

Signs that gambling is becoming a problem

• Buying more crypto during a session to keep playing.
• Chasing losses or borrowing to gamble.
• Hiding deposits, exchange accounts or wallet balances from family.
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut back.
• Missing bills, work or study because of gambling.

Several Irish banks let you block gambling transactions from their app, and blocking software on your phone and computer stops access to sites the national exclusion register will never reach. Lowering the withdrawal limit on your crypto account adds a pause before a late-night transfer.

Young people, crypto and gambling-style games

On 13 July 2026 the GRAI and HSE Addiction Services launched guidance and a national campaign to help parents spot signs of gambling among young people. Crypto casinos make that harder to see, because deposits can come from an exchange or a gaming wallet rather than a bank card. Signs worth noticing include unexplained crypto apps or exchange accounts, money moving through gift cards or in-game currencies, and secrecy about time spent on gaming streams that feature gambling. The legal age for all gambling in Ireland is 18.

Tools inside casino accounts

Offshore crypto casinos are not bound by Irish rules, but most offer their own deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion. Set them before your first deposit, not after a bad session, and remember that excluding yourself from one casino does not stop you opening an account at its sister brands. A single national register will help only once it is live and only for licensed operators, so device-level blockers remain the most complete protection for anyone who wants to stop.

Frequently asked questions

Are crypto casinos legal in Ireland?

No crypto casino holds an Irish licence, because Ireland does not yet license online casino games. The GRAI plans to open gaming licence applications in 2027 and 2028. Offshore crypto casinos that accept Irish players have no Irish oversight, and offences under the 2024 Act fall on unlicensed operators, not players.

Is sports gambling legal in Ireland?

Yes. Online and phone betting with operators licensed by the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland has been regulated under the Gambling Regulation Act 2024 since 1 July 2026, and betting shops are due to move to GRAI licences later in 2026.

What is the legal gambling age in Ireland?

18. Licensed operators must verify the age of every customer, and gambling by children is prohibited under the Gambling Regulation Act 2024.

Are gambling winnings taxed in Ireland?

No. Winnings from betting, lotteries and similar games are exempt from Capital Gains Tax and are not income for recreational players. Crypto you move or sell is a separate matter and can trigger CGT.

Do I pay tax on crypto in Ireland?

Yes, when you dispose of it. Selling, swapping or spending crypto, including sending it to a casino, is a disposal for Capital Gains Tax at 31% for disposals from 7 October 2026 (33% before), after the 1,270 euro annual exemption.

How do I complain about an online gambling site in Ireland?

For an unlicensed offshore casino, the GRAI cannot help; use the complaint route under the casino’s own licence, such as a CGA-certified dispute body for Curaçao.

Is gambling illegal in Ireland?

No. What Ireland does not yet have is a licence for online casino games, so offshore casinos that serve Irish players do so without Irish oversight.

What changed with the new gambling laws in Ireland?

The Gambling Regulation Act 2024 created the GRAI, a single licensing system for betting, gaming and lotteries, a credit card ban, a 5.30am to 9pm advertising watershed, a national exclusion register and a Social Impact Fund. Licensing is being phased in from July 2026.
