According to newspaper Irish Independent, betting companies in Ireland are profiting from credit card payments made through contactless apps, including Revolut, Google Pay, and Apple Pay, as direct credit card betting is banned in the country under the industry regulation.
Revolut’s decision comes in addition to the 48-hour gambling block users can activate themselves through the app and follows a similar pattern to the UK users, where credit card payments for betting websites are banned under penalty of fines.
