😳Ireland🇮🇪: PTSB bank, regulated by the Central Bank, introduces voluntary card blocking for gamblers

The recommendation comes from the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI), which also announced the development of a national self-exclusion register.

▶️The initiative quickly became a trend in the banking sector. Similar measures have already been adopted by Revolut, AIB, EBS, and Bank of Ireland.

▶️Key context: after a 68-year hiatus, Ireland launched a new regulatory framework for gambling in October 2024, which simplifies the licensing process for operators but bans gambling advertising from 5:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

▶️ Additional context: Ireland has a population of 5,123,536 and a GDP per capita of 103,500 USD.
