GRAI signs Memorandum of Understanding with the Nevada Gaming Control Board

21 Jul 26

The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB), signalling partnership and cooperation between one of the most recently established Gambling regulators and the world’s widely recognised oldest and longest-standing dedicated gaming regulator.

The MOU is the first between the GRAI and a gambling regulatory entity in the United States, marking a first step in collaboration between Irish and American gambling authorities.

With the recent commencement of licensing for online and remote betting services in Ireland, both the GRAI and the NGCB recognise the need for diligence in terms of regulating and licensing online platforms where an increasing amount of gambling and betting takes place, often across borders.

Anne Marie Caulfield CEO of the GRAI, said: “The knowledge and expertise that the Nevada Gaming Control Board have in terms of gambling regulation are very valuable to us in the GRAI.

“We very much welcome the insight, guidance, and experience that the NGCB can provide to the GRAI as a newly established regulator, and I look forward to our continued partnership with the shared goal of consumer protection and public health and safety at the heart of operations.”

“We are pleased to sign an MOU with the GRAI and look forward to sharing best practices with them and advancing our collaboration,” said NGCB Chairman Mike Dreitzer
