New measures will target casinos and cryptocurrency transfers as part of efforts to prevent criminal proceeds being laundered in Ireland.
The most significant overhaul of anti-money laundering regulations in decades has been announced.
Casino clubs operating here will have to follow a new framework, with stricter enforcement of license conditions applied.
The Government is going to develop an industry standard relating to crypto currencies in betting, while it will become mandatory for casino customers to use one bank account to contribute and receive funds.
Separately, Crypto-currency transfers will soon require a greater level of detail to help trace unusual activity, the Department of Finance says legislation underpinning this is 'well advanced'.
Tanaiste and Finance Minister Simon Harris says it sends a clear message that Ireland is not a safe place to launder criminal proceeds.
