Irish Bookmaker Departs IBA

The online casino industry is often full of turmoil and the bookmaking sector is naturally no different. A recent ATE news report indicated that the prominent Irish bookmaker, Paddy Power has departed from the Irish Bookmakers Association (IBA). The IBA’s objectives apparently differ from the Paddy Power and for that reason the two have split.

The IBA is the preeminent place for Irish betting shops throughout Ireland – many of which are small and localized whereas Paddy Power is quickly growing and gaining recognition and has even announced the possibility of expansion outside of the Green Isle. Online casino gambling in the UK is fiercely competitive though, so Paddy Power would have to really focus on branding and developing a UK customer base to successfully make the transition.

Paddy Power has no direct affiliation with the online casinos gambling industry except the inherent link of internet-based gambling. Beyond that though, Paddy Power and the IBA apparently differed in terms of IBA objectives. The IBA’s objectives center on bolstering small bookmakers, repatriation, and further funding for the horseracing industry.
