Betting has been faced by serious problems especially to those operators who lack the operational licenses. More often than not, these operators are tempted to indulge in illegal betting which in many nations is going against the law. However, there still some operators who operate without license and prevail. They tend to evade the huge taxes that are levied by the sports betting regulatory bodies.

It was reported that more than $145 million has been operated and transacted through illegal betting. To curb the situation, various governments have incorporated state law enforcers who go door to door to seek those who violate the law. Nonetheless, to be on the safer side, it is always advisable to acquire an operational license and avoid being on the opposite side with regulators.

On that note, the Irish betting authority has claimed that it would offer a total of 27 operating licenses to those operators working in its new regulated sports betting market. The new licenses have been granted a gross period of two years. This will now give a chance to the iGaming as well as sports betting companies to accord Irish clients with their products and their services.

The Irish Tax and Customs office issued this new list at the beginning day of September. Among the 27 betting firms in the list included the leading betting operators in the nation; Paddy Power, Boylesports as well as Matchbook. Other betting operators who are based outside the country but were accorded with the license are bet365, William Hill, Gala Coral, Betfred, Betfair and the mighty Ladbrokes. All these firms are based in the UK. 188BET, bet-at-home, Full Tilt and PokerStars are the notable international betting operators included in the list.

The new rules that were initiated on the 1^st of August claim that online casinos, gaming and bingos in the nation will be levied a 1% tax yearly to their income. Online Sports Betting on the other hand will be accorded with a 15% revenue cut. This is much less than what the UKGC of UK levies to its bookmakers.

This fresh innovation is deemed to be fundamental in the initiation of the Irish Gambling Control Bill come the year 2016 and will be the beginning of a specific betting operator.
