Strategy Statement

The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) published its Statement of Strategy for 2025 to 2027, setting out its strategic priorities over the next three years as it establishes a robust regulatory and licensing regime for the gambling sector and delivers on its public protection mandate.

Established on a statutory basis in March 2025, the Gambling Regulation Act 2024 sets out the framework and legislative basis for the GRAI which will operate as an independent, self-financing regulator under the remit of the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration.

Minister Jim O’Callaghan TD, Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration launched the new Strategy alongside Mr Paul Quinn, Chair of the Authority, and Anne Marie Caulfield, CEO of the GRAI.

The Statement of Strategy sets out the GRAI’s priorities over the next three years with particular focus on six functional areas with related strategic goals reflecting the GRAI’s legislative mandate:

1.      Licensing

2.      Monitoring and Compliance

3.      Enforcement

4.      Consumer Protection and Awareness

5.      People, Organisation, and Governance

6.      Digital First

Each goal is supported by objectives and deliverables which will guide the GRAI’s progress through to 2027.
