In a press release on Tuesday, the Chairman of Flutter UK and Ireland, Ian Proctor, welcomed the newly passed Irish Regulation Bill and called it a \u201ccritical milestone\u201d<\/strong> in a \u201cdynamic and fast-changing industry\u201d.<\/p>\n

As part of the Gambling Regulation Bill, which has been passed by the Government, gambling advertising will be forbidden between 5.30 am and 9 pm and aimed at protecting problem gamblers and children.<\/p>\n

The new Gambling Regulator Authority is expected to be constituted and operating by next year and will be enforcing new advertising and sponsorship standards across all media, as well as alter gambling sector licensing legislation.<\/p>\n

The new legislation will restrict credit card betting, the placement of ATMs in certain regions, and control other areas vulnerable to enabling problematic gambling behavior.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to assessing the detailed terms of the Bill when published, and working constructively with the new Authority to put in place effective measures,\u201d<\/em> Proctor said, adding that they \u201cshould protect those that may be vulnerable to experiencing harm, while allowing the vast majority of our customers who enjoy gambling safely to do so.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Flutter Chairman concluded:<\/p>\n

\u201cFlutter fully recognises that the industry has not always got it right in the past. However, our business has made significant strides in recent years in our safer gambling approach. For example, Flutter has initiated and driven a race to the top with the introduction of several proactive measures, such as our ban on the use of credit cards, mandatory deposit limits for under 25s, and a \u20ac10 stake limit on slot products. We will continue to lead from the front in this area.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Flutter has worked on its safer gambling strategy and approach in the UK and Ireland over the last 9 months, including the incorporation of safer gambling KPIs into business objectives. The five key elements of Flutter\u2019s Safer Gambling Strategy<\/a> are as follows:<\/p>\n
