Safer Gambling

Here at irishracing.com we are committed to promoting responsible gambling and our audience is at the forefront when it comes to enabling a safe environment for new and existing customers.

According to the statutory British gambling regulator, the Gambling Commission:

"Safe and responsible gambling comes from an industry that takes care of its customers, customers who are empowered with the knowledge to manage their gambling and a regulator that ensures the consumer is at the heart of everything we do."

The information contained here is intended to address the first two of these criteria. As we promote the services of gambling providers on this site, we believe it is important that our customers are made aware of the risks that can be associated with gambling, as well as information about where they can find further advice and support should they require it.

Gambling is entertainment and needs to be safe. Check our approach to safer gambling in the Safer Gambling Code.
