Back in December we wrote about the consultation that was launched in Northern Ireland in relation to the future of gambling in Northern Ireland.
Following on from the consultation, a number of proposals were submitted to Northern Ireland’s legislative Assembly in relation to gambling reform. The proposals were submitted by Sinéad Ennis of Sinn Fein, Northern Ireland’s largest Irish nationalist party. Ennis said, “I have submitted our party proposals to modernise the law to bring it into line with changes in technology and new forms of gambling, such as online, fixed term betting odds and casinos”.
Jan 10, 2013 The Department of Social Development (DSD) said the law in Northern Ireland was becoming increasingly out of date due to changes in industry practices and the development of new forms of gambling. “Law and policy on gambling in Northern Ireland is currently failing. “Real people are suffering as a consequence and in some cases tragically we have seen individuals engage in criminality or even go so far as taking their own lives. “It’s absolutely clear we need urgent action to be taken, before the challenge gets any worse.’
Little has been heard from these proposals; however, yesterday, Communities Minister Caral Ni Chuilin said that new laws would be brought before the Assembly before the current mandate ends in 2022. She further explained that, “we are looking at different stages of legislation, starting in this mandate as soon as possible”. Ms Ni Chuilin said that she had met with a number of officials including the health minister Robin Swann to discuss a range of issues around addiction.
The current Northern Ireland law in respect of gambling is contained in ‘The Betting, Gaming, Lotteries and Amusements (Northern Ireland) Order 1985’ (the “1985 Order”). The 1985 Order is broadly modelled on much older law from Great Britain (the Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Act 1963, the Gaming Act 1968 and the Lotteries and Amusements Act 1976). It is outdated and does not address many issues that are present in the sector today; these new laws will be of interest to many operators and we will review these new laws with great intrigue.

Gambling reform is in the spotlight right across the UK.
The laws in Northern Ireland have varied from Great Britain for some time.
Best casino on long island. In Great Britain, the Gambling Act 2005 was introduced to bring together disparate historic gambling laws. The Act ushered in a more liberal and permissive approach, but also gave birth to the Gambling Commission.
However, the Gambling Act 2005 did not encompass Northern Ireland and the gambling laws in Northern Ireland remained unchanged. The rules in Northern Ireland have been disconnected from the rest of the UK ever since, and, significantly, the Gambling Commission’s remit does not extend to Northern Ireland.
The Department for Communities carried out a consultation on gambling laws between last December 2019 and February 2020. The consultation received around 382 responses, with the majority being from interested individuals, and a quarter being from organisations.
Some of the main headlines are that there appears to be ’strong support’ for the creation of an independent gambling regulator (or gambling commission) for Northern Ireland. In fact, around 90% of respondents supported the establishment of such a body.Gambling Law In Northern Ireland 2020
If you read my recent article about the origins of the Gambling Act and the latest trends in GB, you might be surprised to learn that the majority of respondents in Northern Ireland (around 60%) wanted to see the law being reformed to allow casinos to operate in Northern Ireland, where they are currently illegal.
An even bigger majority (66%) also wanted to see bookmakers and betting shops being allowed to open on a Sunday.
Almost all respondents (97%) agreed that the industry should contribute to ’funding research, education and treatment’ for those with gambling addictions.
The Communities Minister is expected to make an announcement on the detailed findings and proposed ’next steps’ in the coming weeks. Gambling Law In Northern Ireland Dublin
It is not clear whether and to what extent these steps will tie in to the reforms to gambling laws which are expected in Great Britain.
Stormont will obviously have an eye to developments in the Republic of Ireland and in Great Britain. With the Brexit transition period coming to an end on 31 December 2020, the UK government might see it as an opportunity to try to harmonise gambling laws across the UK - but that might be overly ambitious if reforms are to be expedited on both sides of the Irish Sea.Gambling Law In Northern Ireland WikipediaGambling updatesGambling Law In Northern Ireland Galway
