Partnership Marks GRAI’s First Collaboration with a U.S. Regulatory Authority to Strengthen Online Oversight
The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB).
This agreement links one of the world’s newest gambling regulators with the oldest and longest-standing dedicated gaming regulator.
It also marks the first time the GRAI has partnered with a regulatory entity in the United States, initiating cross-border cooperation between Irish and American authorities.
Focus on Cross-Border Online Regulation
With the recent launch of licensing for online and remote betting services in Ireland, both the GRAI and the NGCB have highlighted the growing importance of rigorous oversight.
Because an increasing volume of gambling and betting now occurs across digital platforms and international borders, the regulators intend to share best practices and insights.
Anne Marie Caulfield, CEO of the GRAI, emphasized the value of the partnership:
“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.”
Echoing these sentiments, NGCB Chairman Mike Dreitzer stated:
“We are pleased to sign an MOU with the GRAI and look forward to sharing best practices with them and advancing our collaboration.”
