Data snapshot

Limits, time-outs and exclusion in the apps: a dated snapshot

  • 4 min read
  • 6 sections
  • Checked

On 7 November 2026 none of the eight candidate apps has been checked for the five safer-gambling controls: deposit limit, time limit or reminder, time-out, self-exclusion and a help link. The count of apps documenting all five is Not checked. Each filled cell will read yes, no or "The operator does not publish this", with a path and a date.

In short: five controls, one path and one dated source per operator.

How to read the table

  • Yes. The operator's help page for Irish customers documents the control, and the cell links the page.
  • No. The page documents the topic and does not offer the control.
  • The operator does not publish this. We found no statement on the pages we read.
  • Not checked. We have not read the page. This is not the same as "no".
  • Path in the app. The menu route the operator names, copied as published. It is not tested on a phone.

A licensee must give players a way to set a money limit (s.164), so a "no" in the deposit limit column is a finding to double-check, not a conclusion.

Time-out and self-exclusion differ: see time-out or self-exclusion and the definition of self-exclusion.

The National Gambling Exclusion Register (ss.44–49) is planned and was not in force on 21 October 2026. A national register is not a column here: exclusion today is set per operator.

In short: four cell values, and "Not checked" never means "no".

What changed

First snapshot, 7 November 2026; there is no earlier snapshot. Operator help pages are re-read when they change, and the controls at least every 90 days. Later snapshots list each control added or removed, with the date. See the change log.

In short: nothing to compare yet.

Method and CSV

  1. For each operator, open the responsible gambling or help pages for Irish customers.
  2. Record each control as yes, no or "The operator does not publish this", with the URL, the path and the date.
  3. Record two-factor sign-in and biometrics in their own column; they are not part of the five controls.
  4. Count the derived figures from the filled rows and publish the CSV.

CSV columns: operator, deposit limit, time limit or reminder, time-out, self-exclusion, help link, path in the app, two-factor and biometrics, source, date.

The scoring use of these cells is in AppScore v1 results, where controls carry 30 of 100 points. Steps for a limit: set a deposit limit.

We did not open accounts or place bets.

In short: the CSV equals the visible table, on the same date.
