Rugby, cricket & Gaelic

Regional sport raises a practical question for any newer bookmaker: which country’s law covers the punter. This section keeps the map in view.

Handicaps and margin bands suit rugby union and league. Cricket supplies innings and match markets, while the Gaelic codes and netball round off the group.

Licensing under the Gambling Act 2005 applies in England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland is outside the Act and has older law of its own, the Betting, Gaming, Lotteries and Amusements (Northern Ireland) Order 1985, so a Great Britain licence does not govern betting there.
