Ireland's own @declynchwriter did something similar in his book 'Free Money' back in 2009, exploring the early days of online gambling. Well worth a read.

It's been one week since @TheAtlantic published my April cover story on America's sports betting boom. The reactions have been really interesting. A few observations below:

Just a gaming arcade in Waterford advertising that they're breaking the law on jackpot limits . . .
Regulation of the sector can't come soon enough.
(The jackpot limit is €3,000)

If you're interested in talking to Damien about how you are impacted by #Cheltenham, he's been a great supporter of our project over the years.

Anybody (in confidence) in gambling addiction recovery that would like to contact me plse about the week ahead? Am planning a mini-audio documentary on how flipping difficult this week is for so many but how so many others also have no idea how tough it is. Thank you. Damien.

Tony has done so much to raise awareness of gambling addiction. It's been a privilege working with him on this story. 8 years after publication 'Tony 10' is an audiobook.

Delighted to see that the audiobook of 'Tony 10' by @TonyJOReilly & @declynchwriter is out. A lot of people have asked about an audio version over the years.
Easily one of the best books on gambling addiction and recovery out there.

Also, Netbet are a gambling partner, plain and simple.
Calling them a "Responsible Gambling Partner" is spin of the worst kind.

Disappointing to see @ShamrockRovers promoting their new "Responsible Gambling Partnership" with @netbet - a gambling company who don't even have a responsible gambling link or links to support services on their home page. shamrockrovers.ie/2026/02/10/sha…

Great to see this. Regulated licensing of gambling is a step towards improved standards and player protections in the sector and and enforcement action against unlicensed operators. Licensing also allows for the creation of a Social Fund (a levy on gambling industry income).

Great thread. Thanks so much to the APG for giving us the opportunity to present on our work in NI and the differences in the gambling market and available supports services in NI and ROI. @ExternCharity
Reducing Harm Related to Gambling APG@GamHarmAPG
Last week, @ExternProbGam told us that people from NI who present to their services are more often experiencing harm due to land-based gambling than people from ROI. Why? Because the land-based gambling market in NI is less regulated, exposing people to dangerous products 🧵 1/4

Two very educational presentations from @ExternProbGam that highlighted the high rate of problem gambling in NI and the lack of services available for those suffering harm from gambling. This is a huge issue that affects many people in our communities.

Good to see some restrictions on inducements to gamble in the licensing obligations for remote gambling, from @GambRegIRL.
This should see an end to 'VIP' treatment of people with substantial losses.

A 20% annual increase in gambling spending in Ireland (ROI) is extremely worrying - especially in the middle of a cost of living crisis.

Brilliant to be back at @GlenartCollege this week to speak to their TY students. It was my 4th time visiting the school, and great that this visit/Workshop was funded by a project between @ExternProbGam & the Bray Local Drug & Alcohol Task Force/HSE Social Inclusion.

Thanks to @HSEDubSouthEast for funding these school talks in South County Dublin. We've gotten great feedback from students and staff.
Education on gambling harm prevention is in high demand across the entire country.
