Preparations for GRAI Enforcement Begin as SolutionsHub Expands into Ireland

The firm, which specialises in providing regulatory advice and support to operators in jurisdictions around the world, has had more than 120 licences approved globally since entering the market in 2008. 

Such a move comes at a good time, with the GRAI expected to begin enforcement of its regulatory framework around mid-2026. 

The licensing model is expected to be one of the tightest on the market, with a very strong emphasis on criteria such as governance, financial integrity and demonstrable risk controls for players. 

A host of operators are expected to apply for the licence in the next couple of years, meaning SolutionsHub is well placed to capitalise in the technologically driven Irish capital.

The firm has built an excellent reputation for navigating complex landscapes around licensing in areas such as iGaming and fintech and they can boast a 100% approval record since formation. 

It’s a key time for operators in Ireland, as the country brings its legislature up to date. It will be interesting to see how the market responds in the next 18 months, as the country applies modern gambling regulation to a thriving sector.
