🆕 New Betting Sites

new-betting-sites-banner

While established operators such as BoyleSports and Ladbrokes continue to dominate the sports betting landscape in Ireland, we’re seeing a number of new online bookies complete to claim a viable market share in the Emerald Isle. This number includes 10Bet and LunuBet, which started as online casinos before entering the lucrative sports betting space.

Other key additions include the Sweden-based Betiton and PokerStars, which are established names in their own right but have only recently earned a license to operate in Ireland. Betiton is a particularly interesting addition as well. It stands out as one of the top football betting websites but it also offers 29 other sporting disciplines and a particularly large range of in-play betting markets.

Here’s a brief breakdown of the most popular new betting sites in Ireland, including details of their welcome offer and core call-to-action (CTA).

When you are deciding on which best online betting sites Ireland to open an account with, there are some important aspects that you should always have a look at. We will now have a closer look at what these are.

📈 Which Sports Betting Markets Are Available?

When you are looking for a betting site to open an account with, then it is always a good idea to make sure that they have a variety of sport betting markets on offer for the different categories that they have available. Is that what it takes to become one of the best online bookies? Well, it is the first step because the more markets that are on offer, the more choice you will have when you are picking something to bet on, and this will mean that boredom is less likely to creep into play.

For instance, one of the reasons why football is such a popular sport for Irish punters to bet on is the fact that there are so many different markets on offer at all of the best bookmakers. When it comes to betting on football, you will find the following markets:

  • Match winner
  • Number of goals scored
  • Goal scorer
  • Player to score first
  • Number of corners
  • Number of cards
  • Player to be booked
  • Both teams to score
  • Time of first goal
  • Team to score next

💯 Are the Odds Offered by the Betting Site Competitive?

We all work hard for the money that we have, so we should always be looking to get the most out of it whenever we are spending it. When it comes to playing on an online betting site, the best way to get the most out of your money is to place bets with the best odds. The higher your odds, the more profit you are obviously going to make if your bet goes on to win.

Odds are something that will vary between bookmakers, so we really recommend that you consider signing up with a couple of websites so that you can compare odds for a certain market and make sure you have chosen the best online bookmaker.

📡 Does the Betting Site Offer Live Streaming?

play-button-overcomputer-screen-background

Live streaming is a feature that you should look for at any sports betting site as it allows you to watch all of the action, which will help you when it comes to placing in-play bets. If you have a clear understanding of the way that a sports event is unfolding, then you will be able to place a bet that has a better chance of winning.

For example, let us say that you love to bet on football games, and you are watching a live stream between Manchester United and Arsenal in the FA Cup (you will not find live streams for the Premier League as broadcasters pay a lot of money for the rights to show these games). Twenty minutes are remaining and the score remains 0-0, but you know that United have been dominating the game. You, therefore, know that you stand a good chance of winning if you place a live in-play bet on United to win.

Bookmakers know that betting online with live streams is awesome. This is the reason why the majority of bookies that you will come across are more than happy to provide their players with a live-streaming feature.

Below you can find a list of some of the best live betting sites for those who enjoy doing a spot of online betting Ireland. Now, we understand that we all have different opinions about betting online, which is what makes life interesting, so it is perfectly fine if you do not agree with our choices.

  • BetVictor
  • Ladbrokes
  • William Hill
  • BetVictor
  • Bwin

So, why do we believe that these are five of the best online betting websites when it comes down to live streaming? Well, the main reason is the variety of live in-play betting markets that they offer their customers. You obviously do not want to sign up with an online betting site that offers a handful of live markets for the sporting events they have on offer as you will end up getting bored pretty quickly.

In addition to the variety of markets, they also offer very good odds to their players – as we mentioned earlier, it is important to always bet online with good odds as this ensures you get a good return for your money.

🔒Is Irish Sport Betting Sites Secure?

There is one thing that you do not want to do and that is to open an account with a bookmaker that has slack security. If you do this, then you run the risk of personal and bank details stolen by cybercriminals. Therefore, you need to find out as much as you can about a bookmaker’s security levels before you open an account and deposit your money with them. One way that you can see if a website is secure is by checking if there is a little padlock on the search bar – if there is, then there are good levels of security available.

Another way to put your mind at ease is to check who the online betting site has received its license from (this can usually be seen at the bottom of the homepage). If you scroll down and see that they hold a license from the likes of the UKGC, the Malta Gaming Authority, or the Curacao Gambling Commission, then you can be certain that the site is secure and fair to play at. These are some of the top gambling regulators in the world, and they do not hand out their licenses to any bookie who asks for one.

If you have any doubt about the levels of security that a bookmaker has then simply walk away and go and find another one to join. At the end of the day, there are so many out there with top levels of security that you do not need to be putting yourself at any unnecessary risk.

♻️ Are the Terms and Conditions Favourable?

When you are making use of betting sites offers, there will always be a number of T&Cs that apply. What T&Cs apply? The main one is what is known as wagering requirements. To explain this in simple terms, this is the number of times you need to wager the bonus money before it will be eligible for withdrawal. For example, if you get a free bonus of €30 and the wagering requirements are 4x, it means that you will be required to stake a minimum of €120 before you can think about making a withdrawal. If you do try to request a withdrawal before the wagering requirements have been completed, then you run the risk of the bookmaker taking away your Welcome Bonus.

Sports betting sites Ireland really do not take dishonesty lightly. Some other main T&Cs are the minimum odds that you have to use when you are making use of your bonus money – these min odds will usually be somewhere between 1.40 and 2.00. You will also have a number of days to use the bonus – some bookies will give you a min of 7 days, while others are a bit more generous and will give you a max of 30 days. If you do not use your bonus within the stipulated time frame, then it will be lost, which is something you do not want to happen.

Before you make use of a bonus, we really recommend that you take some time to read all of the valid T&Cs that apply. This way you will be severely decreasing the chances of making a mistake that will end up getting your bonus forfeited. It will take you no longer than five minutes to read through the terms and conditions that apply, so there really is no excuse not to do so. If you do not bother to read each valid T&C and you end up losing your bonus for some reason, you only have one person to blame, and we are pretty sure that we do not need to tell you who that person is. If you’re looking for the Best Betting Sites in Ireland, make sure they provide clear terms and conditions for their bonuses.

📞 Does Betting Sites in Ireland Have Reactive Support?

There are not many things in life that irk us, but one thing that really grinds our gears is non-reactive customer support. Whenever you have an issue with a online sports betting site (or at an online casino), you will want it resolved as quickly as possible so that you can get back to place some bets. Therefore, you will want the customer support agents to be reactive.

In order to see whether the customer support at a betting site that you are thinking about joining is any good, we recommend that you send them a mock problem. This way you can see how quick they are to respond as well as whether they give satisfactory answers. If they take a long time to respond or are not very helpful with their answers, then simply look elsewhere.

There are many great betting sites out there, so you definitely do not need to be settling for second best. Another option is to check whether the site is registered with trusted independent bodies like IBAS, which helps resolve disputes between bettors and operators. You can find more relevant content about this process on their website.

📋 Online Betting Features

Nowadays, all of the best betting sites available in Ireland can open an account with will come with a range of top features such as the option to build accumulators, the ability to place live bets, the chance to build your own bet, and the option of cashing out your wager. In our opinion, if a sportsbook is missing any of these features, then we would not recommend that you open an account with them.

In this next section of our guide, we are going to take a closer look at these four features to find the best online betting sites.

📌 Accumulator Bets (ACCA)

Nowadays accumulator bets, also called accas or accys, have become really popular among sports bettors from all over the world due to the fact that they allow you to combine multiple single bets for higher odds and the chance to win a decent profit without having to place a large stake.

For example, if you like to bet on the English Premier League and you decide to bet on Manchester United to win at odds of 1.85, Aston Villa to win at odds of 2.10, Arsenal to win at odds of 1.65, and Chelsea to win at odds of 1.75, then those odds will be multiplied in your accumulator to give you total odds of 11.22. Then, if you decide to bet €5 on this four-fold accy and it comes in, you will receive 11.22 x €5 for total returns of €56.08. If you were to place a single bet on any of the odds above, you would need to spend between €27 and €34 for similar returns, so you should now be able to see why accumulators are so enticing to sports bettors.

However, there is something that we must stress when it comes to accumulators, and this is the fact that all of your selections, no matter how many you choose, have to be correct in order for you to win the money that is on offer. If you place a ten-fold accy and get nine of them right, tough luck, you will still win nothing - some betting sites will offer their customers "Acca Insurance", meaning if you lose the bet because of just one selection, you will get your stake back in the form of a free bet.

📌 In-Play Betting

When betting sites first arrived on the scene, placing a bet on a sporting event after it had started was something that was not possible. Therefore, if you were just seconds late when it came to placing your wager on an event, you would not have been allowed to and you would have just had to hope that the outcome that you were going to place your money on did not happen.

Thankfully, nowadays, things have changed and all sports betting sites that you encounter will allow you to place wagers on a sporting event even if it has started - this is known as a live bet or in-play betting. This is a feature that opens up a wide variety of opportunities because if you are watching a game of football, for example, and you think you know what team will go ahead and score the next goal, you can quickly log into your sportsbook account and place a bet on it. Or if you are noticing plenty of corners in the game, you can place a live bet on the number of total corners you think there will be.

If you are not watching the sporting event in question, then you can still go ahead and place educated sports bets due to the fact that all of the best online sportsbooks out there will provide their customers with a variety of very useful stats to make good use of. Nowadays you will be able to do live betting on the majority of sports that are on offer, although some sports have more in-play markets than others. Betting online has made live wagering much more accessible and convenient for sports fans everywhere.

📌 Bet Builder

A bet builder is a feature that some of the best online bookies offer their punters, and it is one that gives you the chance to choose customized wagers and combine them to create a bigger personalised bet. In order to go about building a bet on a football match, open up your sportsbooks bet builder feature and choose your markets. This can include markets such as both teams to score, player to be booked, total corners, total goals, and more. When you have chosen your markets, usually a maximum of six, your bookie will calculate the odds automatically for you, and then you just need to decide on how much you are willing to stake on it.

Below is an example of a bet builder between Real Madrid and Barcelona:

  • Real Madrid to win
  • Over 3.5 yellow cards
  • Karim Benzema to score
  • Robert Lewandowski to have a shot on target
  • Sergio Busquets to get booked

Like with an accumulator, you will need to get all of the selections right in order to walk away with a profit. So, how does a bet builder differ from an accumulator? Well, as you can see from the Bet Builder example that we gave above, a Bet Builder is a feature that allows you to combine wagers from the same match, while this is not the case with accumulators - they allow you to combine markets from different matches or events.

📌 Cash Out

The final feature that we are going to look at is the cash-out feature and it is one that you will be able to find at all of the best betting sites. In fact, if you find out that a sportsbook does not offer a cash-out feature, you should seriously consider whether you actually want to deposit your hard-earned money with them. So, what is the cash-out feature exactly? Well, it is a feature that allows you to put an end to your bet early so that you can at least walk away with some kind of profit.

For example, let us pretend that you have placed a €10 bet on Nottingham Forest to beat Liverpool at odds of 8.00, and Forest are 1-0 up with a little under 15 minutes left to play. If Liverpool have been on the front foot for most of the second half and you think that they will end up scoring soon, you can make use of the Cash Out option and claim the €40-50 offer that your bookie is offering. Then, if Liverpool do go on to score and salvage a point or even all three, you will have still made a decent profit instead of just losing a tenner.

🎁 The Best Betting Site Offers

hand-holding-a-gift-with-a-computer-screen-in-the-background

Due to the competitive nature of the Irish sports betting industry, bookmakers have to offer attractive bonuses to get new players to open an account. If they offer bonuses nobody would look twice, they will not see many new customers come through their virtual doors.

It will probably not come as a surprise to you to hear that not all bonus offers have been created equally. Some offers are much better than others, which means that you need to do a bit of research before you settle on a particular bonus. Moreover, a large bonus doesn't automatically mean it's one of the best online betting sites.

To help you out a bit, below you can find a table with some of the best betting site offers around at this moment in time. These bonuses can be used on whatever sporting event you like, which is always great news to hear.

n.b. Bookmakers are always looking for ways to stay ahead of all of their main rivals, so they constantly change their bonuses in order to try and outdo their competitors. Therefore, there is a chance that if you go to claim one of the free bets above, it does not match the bonus being offered on the corresponding betting websites. We truly apologise if this causes you any inconvenience, yet we strive to keep all offers updated on a regular basis.

🎫 Free Bets

There are many different types of bonuses and promotions offered by betting sites in Ireland, but the one that most sports bettors like to get their hands on is what is known as a free bet. What is a free bet? Well, it is exactly what it sounds like; you will receive a free bet with a value, usually worth €5 or €10 euros, and you can place this on any sporting outcome that you like unless the terms and conditions attached to it say otherwise. This is why it is important that you always take some time to read the T&Cs that are attached to bonuses.

The great thing about free bets is that they give you the chance to bet on an outcome without having to risk a single cent of your own hard-earned money. When it comes to free bets, you should think about placing a riskier bet than you usually would because you have absolutely nothing to lose - if your bet goes on to lose, you do not lose any money, while if your high-risk bet goes on to win, you will walk away with a profit.

One thing to keep in mind when it comes to free bets is the fact that you will not get the stake of the free bet back if you place a winning wager. So, if you place a €10 free bet on Brazil to win the 2022 Qatar World Cup at odds of 5.00 and they go on to lift the Jules Rimmet Trophy, you will get €40 back instead of the €50 returns that you would see if you put your own €10 on the same bet.

💯 Deposit Match-Up Bonus

Many of the top sports betting sites will have a free bet offer as their Welcome Bonus, but others will decide to offer a deposit match-up bonus instead. With this type of bonus, the bookmaker will happily match the value of your first deposit up to a certain value. For instance, they will inform you that they will match your deposit 100% up to the value of €100. So, if you decide to go ahead and deposit €100 straight up, you will receive an additional €100, meaning that you will find €200 in your sports betting account.

You will be able to use this bonus money on any sporting event you like, but in order to be able to withdraw any of it or any winnings that you are lucky enough to land when using it, you will have some wagering requirements that you will need to meet. You can find out what the wagering requirements are by having a look at the T&Cs. Other important terms that you need to look at include the minimum odds that your bet can have and the number of days that you will be given to clear the aforementioned wagering requirements.

💶 Cashback Promo

A sports betting cashback promo is one where you will get back a certain percentage of any losses that you incur during a specific time frame This kind of promotion is one that is aimed more towards the loyal punters, so it is one that you might not come across very often. If you manage to qualify for such a promotion, then you will, for example, be told that you will receive 10% of any losses incurred from the following Monday to Friday back in the form of a free bet, although sometimes you might receive it back in cash straight into your account.

Therefore, if you have a pretty rotten week and you lose €100, you will at least get €10 back to try and rectify some of your bad luck. This is a great promotion because there is no gambler out there who does not go through a patchy losing streak.

🚀 ACCA Booster

An ACCA boost is exactly the same as your normal accumulator, with the only difference being that if your accy goes on to win your winnings will be boosted. For instance, at the time of writing, BoyleSports are currently offering their customers an Acca Boost of up to 100%, which is actually one of the highest boosts that you will encounter.

If you sign up with BoyleSports and you place a three-fold accy with a boost applied, and it goes on to be a winning wager, you will have a 10% boost applied. If you decide to place a 10-fold accumulator and it wins, then you will get a tasty 60% winnings boost, while if you create a 14-fold acca and it wins, your winnings will be doubled. The terms and conditions of a boost will not be the same at every betting site, but many boosts will be voided if you cash out the bet early.

👨‍⚖️ Bet Builder Insurance

Earlier we mentioned that when it comes to bet builders you need to get all of your chosen selections right in order for you to win the money that is available. There really is nothing quite as annoying as losing out on a bet because one selection let you down. This is where bet builder insurance comes into play.

With this type of promotion, if your bet builder goes on to lose because of just one selection, then you will get your stake back, usually in the form of a free bet. When it comes to a boost or an insurance offer, you will only have the option of choosing one or the other – it would be great if we could have both, but we cannot get too greedy.

📊 Matched Betting and Spread Betting

image-of-a-pair-of-dice-and-entry-symbol

If you are new to the world of sports bets, you will not know what matched or spread betting is. There are two things that it is worth your while knowing, especially matched bets, so we recommend that you take a look at our matched betting Ireland page.

A matched bet, to put it as simply as we can, is a way to make bets on a sporting event where you have the possible outcomes covered. This means that you will make a profit no matter what the final result of the event is. You might be sitting there thinking that we are lying as no self-respecting bookie would allow such a thing, but it is possible thanks to free bets and other bonuses.

When it comes to matched bets, you cannot just use a betting site as the odds that bookmakers offer for sporting events have a betting margin in place to ensure that a profit is made. Therefore, you will need to make use of a betting exchange. We could carry on explaining this here, but if you are interested in finding out more, we recommend that you click on the link above and read our comprehensive guide.

When it comes to spread betting Ireland, a spread is basically a prediction of what you think will occur in a specific market for a sports event - the spread is expressed to you as a sell-buy range. For instance, with the Total Goals market in football, the spread might be 2.8-3.0. What this means is that if you think the final outcome will be higher than the range, you buy. If you think it will be lower than the range, you sell.

With spread bets, the more correct you are, the more multiples of the wager you can win. However, if you are wrong, the more multiples of your wager you can lose. Your wager is the money that you place on the bet, so a €10 bet on the total goals outcome could win or lose you €10 for each goal.

We should emphasise here that spread bets can only be placed at specific betting sites in Ireland, and that we are proud to announce that we have teamed up with Spreadex which is the best spread operator in the market.
