Gambling entertainment in Ireland has historically been associated with horse racing and betting at major racecourses, as well as a chain of bookmakers and pub culture, where sport is a central part of leisure.
In the 20th century, lotteries and charity draws, bingo and private members-only clubs replacing commercial casinos gained popularity.
The modern stage is a gradual "digitization": the growth of online betting and games while strengthening the norms of responsible play and advertising in the "watershed."
The sport's national identity (Gaelic football, hurling) and horse racing festivals continue to shape demand, and a new regulatory model strengthens consumer protection and market transparency.
