In fact, the Republic of Ireland welcomes international online sportsbooks into the fold through their licensing policies and taxation schemes. The gambling laws in Ireland do not make it illegal to participate at online bookmakers that are licensed, regulated and located offshore.

Some prominent jurisdictions where online gambling is legal and regulated include the United Kingdom, Malta, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, and Alderney. These countries have established licensing authorities that oversee online gambling operators, ensuring consumer protection and fair play.
