Betfair leaving Denmark

[Kai]

A friend just sent me this

Betfair is pulling out of Denmark on November 18th 2026

It was one of the very few licenced countries for a long time, that had access to the main exchange : https://www.betfair.com/aboutUs/Regulatory.Information/

We heard from customers before Betfair.

Can't be many countries left now?

I often wondered if there was an official list somewhere. Though that seems to exclude Ireland somehow?

Yeah that's odd, I think their page needs updating there.

Hm, apparently Ireland didn't need a local licence before and just ran under the Malta one, but this year they finally launched their own regulator Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI).

For customers in the Republic of Ireland, PPB Counterparty Services Limited is licensed and regulated by the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland in respect of sports betting (registration number GRAI-1003-RB-26-0001). Betfair International plc is licensed and regulated by the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland in respect of the Betfair Exchange (registration number GRAI-1074-RBI-26-0001).
