A draft provision within the September 2026 Gambling Act amendment package would require casinos, gaming halls and other gambling equipment to connect directly to National Revenue Agency systems for real-time transmission of betting, deposit and payout data. As drafted, existing land-based operators would have until 31 March 2027 to comply, a deadline that applies only if the provision is enacted. The requirement sits at consultation stage, having entered public consultation around 24 September 2026, and has not been enacted. If adopted, it would extend the technical-certification and reporting burden for land-based venues significantly beyond current practice, requiring automatic transmission of deposit, wager and winnings data rather than periodic or on-request reporting. No primary National Assembly or NRA gazette text establishing the final form of this requirement has been located; press reporting is the only source for its scope and timeline at this stage.

The draft Gambling Act reform under consultation since 23 September 2026 includes a proposal for real-time connection of gaming equipment to the National Revenue Agency. This would be a new data-reporting obligation on licensed equipment if enacted, but no further technical specification, such as the data fields to be transmitted, the connection protocol, or an implementation timeline, has been retrieved this cycle. The proposal is named alongside other draft reform elements in trade press reporting without independent elaboration. Pending enactment and the publication of implementing technical standards, operators cannot yet assess the system changes this requirement would demand.
