Notice: Update regarding policy with respect to gambling

From the March 1st, 2022, RTÉ will be implementing the following policy with respect to gambling.

Advertising from bookmakers prior to 9pm on RTÉ TV and VOD is not permitted, except for live sporting events, but excludes live play. In the case of live sport whether before or after 9pm, gambling advertising will not be permitted during the period from 5 minutes before the live event begins until five minutes after it concludes. This includes breaks in play,  for example, the half time in a football match. In effect advertising can only appear in studio analysis time. Solus advertising of bookmakers is not permitted i.e., that a bookmaker would take the whole of an advertising break.

On radio, no gambling advertising can appear between the hours of 5am and 10am. On RTÉ.ie and RTÉ News Now, no display advertising can appear on RTÉ.ie between the hours of 6am and 10am.
