Rep Ireland: Max stake: 10 e Max Win: 3000 e

"Under the measures proposed in the Dail’s new Gambling Regulation Bill, punters, bingo players and those who enjoy the odd bet are in for drastic changes as the legislation intends to strictly limit the amount that individuals can both stake and win on any given bet."

50K win on a yankee?

There ya go mate, there's ya 3K max winnings

grate news.

This from the Irish Mirror:

https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/10-cap-bets-drive-punters-32238370

A spokesman said: “This €10 cap will mean that an individual can only place a maximum of €10 on any given sports, casino or lottery bet. You won’t be able to place €50 on a horse to win or €20 on black in roulette for instance.

“Simultaneously, it means that you will only be able to win a maximum of €3,000 on any given bet, meaning that accumulators worth tens of thousands will be a thing of the past.

“This will mean radical changes for your everyday punter and puts the entire sector at jeopardy.”

Lottoland Ireland vice-president Mike Kirwan added: “The new measures in this legislation look set to undermine the Bill’s stated objective of harm prevention. They will only lead to the proliferation of black market gambling and punters will flock to Northern Ireland to avoid the win caps.”

I said a while back on a thread, after reading an article on Australian racing and plans afoot there to limit stakes, that the attack on gambling is a globalist policy.

That proposed policy in Ireland is just a variation of what is happening here.

I presume this is the same bill that RTV & SSR were threatening to cease broadcasting in Ireland over, because of the restrictions on advertising through the day.

will be a godsend to 98.8% of gamblers..

I can just picture the scene...

JP goes up to the on-course bookie, asks for 50,000 on one.

Bookie: now, now, JP, you know we're only allowed to accept a tenner per bet.

betting is going back to the 1950s at this rate, only there won't be any street bookies in a cashless society, unless they start betting in bananas...Barney knew...2 bananas to one, please

sew,unlimited to a cap to a tenner?  who thort of this?

Imo, policies being decided at supranational level and being implemented by their puppets in supposedly independent nation states, you just need to look how they move in lockstep with regard to major international events.

the regulations involved with gambling have been beyond farce since the inception..more with the strokes bookmakers pull.

here's a good example, they get their scripts and they read from them...build back better, anyone?

So they're so concerned about gambling getting out of hand that they're gonna restrict your stake for your own good?

But hang on a tick, why the cap on winnings?

Agenda 2030 anyone?

"The plebs will own nothing and be happy"

Probably think there are too many undesirable people playing the game George….

Too many undesirable people making legislation imo, ace

I couldn’t disagree there George,too much unrest in the game at the minute…

For me it’s an easy solution to put right,just take horse racing out of the argument…..it’s being dragged into the mire with the arcade material…..

Remember a well known footballer/coach/manager I think it was Qater on a lucrative contract 65 large upfront and done it practically overnight…..and it wasn’t on horse racing…..lots of innocent friends and family paying the price……all arcade (allegedly)…

It will be £10 Max here too.

Kim Jong is here…..

take horse racing out of the argument Never going to happen. Remember you can put £10 win on a horse at 5-1 Lose or Win. If you WIN , you could take that £60 to the slots.

Plus, 5F races are over in a few mins, and on saturdays, I could quickly see how this could become a problem to someone looking for their next gambling buzz.

And also, IMO, horse racing is a potential gateway into SLOTS and the CASINO. Remember, new Cheltenham and Grand National punters get offered FREE bets, they have never even bet on the horses. They then go right to the casino that night, win or lose. I would show you the stats if I could.

I can’t ever remember horse racing being responsible for a person having bad tendencies…..

Force the bookmakers and all other to get rid of all arcade material and go back to the old days….

Head to the casino if you like a spin….

I remember when the flashing light and noise material came into the shops….

One pillar in the centre of laddies with two at each side…

Manager saying this will one day be the downfall…..

A person punting £5 a time on the horses has just done £300 in two days on the machine….

form - a minute or two of with google will find you plenty of stories of those who have got into serious difficult gambling on horses - much though I'd like to, I don't think we're able to say "racing betting is just a harmless pastime, please leave us out of this".

The arcade materiel is where the issue arose…..

Racecourse attendance was always bulging with punters enjoying the sport win or lose,never in my time I can remember a punter committing the dreadful because they lost a few quid.

Arcade material is not a sport and should be banned from any bookmakers….

"racing betting is just a harmless pastime. You're 100%  Correct, definitely not. Punters chase losses from race to race, too.

Agree with longbridge. The idea that horse and greyhound punting can never result in problem gambling is completely wrong.

Don’t think anybody is saying that you can’t lose a lot of money on horses and dogs. Especially these days with a race off every 5 minutes.

Though you should be allowed to decide what your limits are for yourself. As with horses and dogs, you are at least contributing towards the sport. With slots and casino, you are not contributing to anything.

Nobody is saying that horses and dogs can’t be dangerous to addicts, they obviously are. But you are also more invested in the sport more than with other forms of gambling. Should we also stop people buying horses, just in case the horse is no good and they lose hundreds of thousands of pounds?

Just let people decide for themselves.

they would've been picked up straight away by the bookies, but instead of being limited to buttons (like anyone with half a clue is) they were targeted as main clients.  invited to hospitality, and royally fleeced. 

the bookies know exactly who should be subject to AC's, they have lists of names.  Same as they have lists of names of people who they won't allow within a mile of a bet with them, quite a few probably reading this.

so you're limiting an "addict" to 50p a bet online.

guess what, he's off down the racetrack for 10 grand at 9/4 with the on-course boys.

total nonsense.

list of names was confirmed to me by an ex-ok corral manager as recently as 2 days ago

I read a former footballer blew a right few quid during covid….did his final 8 large on Asian table tennis…..ffs

Was it Jeremie Frimpong who likes to play ping-pong?

There's some mug on here that blows it all (when he's chasing) on AOHW/AOAW ...ffs

Could be you Albert….

It's all relative.

This is my theory for today btw

61 x £100 = approx -£2k

F4rty poasting at 5am...beyond belief...obv been nicking milk.

When  does this come into effect ??

George spot on about Agenda 30 WEF.....its a global attack on our freedoms.....most people sleepwalking into it imo.....

Will be the end of racing if true.

about 330am, maybe earlier depends on the milkman

Thats what they want Dam.....

We need a government with a backbone.

I said a while back on a thread, after reading an article on Australian racing and plans afoot there to limit stakes, that the attack on gambling is a globalist policy.

So why is sportsbetting being legalised in the USA?

btw it will be interesting to see whether flutter/betfair/paddy etc decide to leave Dublin if this legislation is passed or will the low tax rate keep them there.

also this will give brassneck something genuine to moan about.

boygeorge cannot open his eyes without seeing a conspiracy

If this ludicrous nanny state nonsense is introduced, I hope we are provided with suicide statistics for Ireland and Northern Ireland before and after it's implementation, and an end to this gambling related suicide BS.

They skew the figures to suit their narrative Clydebank.....the truth no where to be seen

When the off course betting tax in Ireland was high nobody had any problem betting tax free,gamblers are resourceful and will find ways round this.

It wont be for a long time if it passes, its on stage 4 there are 11 stages to get into law, its been on these first 4 stages for years now.

Gambling Regulatory Authority staff of 100 and budget of €4m for 2024, enforce change quickly

Racing in Britain and Ireland is far too prestige steeped in history fuelled with multi millionaires and Royalty to let any two bit commission get in the way….

dave,i was listening to the radio when the gambling news broke.A GUY WHO REPS THE GOVERNMENT WAS ON .He said that the changes do not effect horse racing,or any other sports,he talked about changes in bingo,slot machines,and lotto perhaps .He said it was going to protect children by stopping gambling ads on tv before 9pm.He said football bets will not be effected and teams can still advertise  gambling on their shirts.He talked about changes in gambling when they review the legislation in 2029.he said it will not effect horse racing in Ireland in any shape or form.
thats what i heard on the main irish news.
i can not tell you where the irish mirror got their story but it is the complete opposite to what i heard,and complete opposite to what i am reading on this thread.
i am confused so i will wait and see what happens before i start complaining.BRASS.

Probably clickbait on online editions.
