Maxiplay Casino is run by ProgressPlay Limited of St Julians, Malta, under a Malta Gaming Authority licence and a UK Gambling Commission licence, and it accepts players from Ireland. This Maxiplay Casino review splits the verdict: the casino side is properly regulated abroad, but the sportsbook, which covers horse racing and greyhounds, holds no GRAI betting licence. Overall: watch.
Licences and operator
The official footer gives the detail: MGA/B2C/231/2012 (Malta Gaming Authority, issued 2013-04-16); UKGC account 39335. ProgressPlay is registered in Malta as company C58305, and the MGA licence dates from 16 April 2013. For a casino, Malta plus the UK is a strong pairing, and with no Irish gaming licences until the GRAI begins issuing them in early 2027, it is the standard to look for.
The sportsbook problem
Maxiplay offers sports betting with horse racing and greyhounds. Since 1 July 2026, any online bookmaker taking bets from people in Ireland needs a GRAI remote betting licence. ProgressPlay is not on the GRAI register, nor was it on the Revenue register before. So the racing book is not licensed for Irish customers, and an Irish punter backing a horse there has no Irish regulator to turn to. For racing, use a bookmaker from our licensed betting list, where best odds and each-way terms are at least set by a firm answerable here.
Maxiplay and Irish players
The terms list restricted territories, among them Austria, Germany, France and Spain. Ireland is not on the list. Self-exclusion is described in the terms, and as an MGA and UKGC licensee the operator is subject to both regulators' safer-gambling rules.

Maxiplay Casino review verdict: watch
As a casino, yes, on two serious licences. As a bookmaker for Irish punters, no. We hold back a link while the sportsbook sits outside the Irish licensing system, and rate it watch. Players must be 18+; Irish support services are on our safer gambling page, and our licensing guide explains the betting and gaming split.
