Rugby, cricket & Gaelic

Whether a licence applies depends on where the bet is placed, and these sports make that point sharply because their followings run across the Irish Sea.

Netball, hurling and Gaelic football sit with cricket and both codes of rugby. Each has the markets that fit it: handicaps and winning margins in rugby, innings and match betting in cricket.

The Gambling Act 2005 and the Commission cover England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland stands outside the Act, under older law, so GB-licensed status says nothing regarding betting there.
