Bank gambling blocks and other protection tools
The GRAI Protection Tools list, as read in our notes on 6 November 2026, names seven tools: AIB, Bank of Ireland, EBS, PTSB, Revolut, BetBlocker and GamBan. What each one blocks, where you switch it on and how it is lifted is Not checked on this page yet. The table keeps those cells open until each bank's own page is read.

The seven names on the GRAI list
Five names are banks or banking apps: AIB, Bank of Ireland, EBS, PTSB and Revolut. BetBlocker and GamBan are listed as tools.
Source: the GRAI Protection Tools page. Re-read the list on the day of work, because it can change.
In short: seven names, taken from the regulator's list, not from our own choice.

In short: the list is known; the detail of each block is still open.
What a block does and does not do
A bank block acts on payments from that bank. It does not close a betting account and it does not replace self-exclusion with an operator.
Whether any Irish bank switches a block on by default is not verified here. See the claim check.
In short: a block limits payments; it is one tool among several.
How this page is filled
- Open the GRAI list and copy the names.
- Open each bank's own page and record the path in the app, using the menu names as published.
- Record how the block is lifted, including any waiting period the bank states.
- Record the date. If the page is silent, write "The operator does not publish this" for that bank or tool.
In short: every detail needs a bank page and a date.
