The GRAI, Ireland’s recently established gaming authority, seeks experts to fill leadership positions, including the Chairperson and 6 board members. The specialists will be involved in implementing crucial changes in the gambling segment.
James Browne, the Minister of State from the country’s Department of Justice, initiated the application process. He emphasises the significance of the offered roles and focuses on searching for qualified candidates.
Importance and Goals of the New Organisation
The GRAI was formed to pursue the government’s broader mission of modernising the outdated Irish gaming rules.
The move comes right after the Gambling Regulation Bill has been passed. The document is aimed at reforming the previous industry legislation, which has mostly stayed the same since 1931. Mr Browne drafted the revised framework about 2 years ago. Then, the state’s coalition government passed it, followed by the President’s final approval.
The GRAI’s specialists will be responsible for the following operations:
- granting licences;
- enhancing player safety;
- protecting vulnerable groups;
- monitoring advertising activities, etc.
The regulatory body will supervise both digital and land-based gaming services.
The authority is set to focus on and prioritise social responsibility. The future licensing system will feature several types of permits, separate for commercial niche brands and charity institutions alongside sports clubs.
Some of the most significant regulatory shifts are planned for the marketing field. The organisation will monitor gambling-related ads through portals and mobile applications. Strict yet fair measures are about to be implemented in the sector. This strategy needs to be incorporated to better protect punters who are part of vulnerable categories.
Mr Browne’s Comments on Legal Changes
The Minister is enthusiastic about the GRAI realising its strategy and the entertainment segment obtaining a decent regulation and licensing format. He believes the newly formed system is vital for establishing a well-supervised, safe gaming realm that maintains no harm to society.
The spokesman said the body would get substantial enforcement powers, ensuring effective counteraction to unlawful activities in the country. The organisation will be responsible for monitoring compliance with new industry legislation and punishing violations.
Applicants' requests for the GRAI’s leadership positions are planned to be accepted and processed until November 15th.
