What we look for when ranking the top Irish bookmakers:
🇮🇪 Before anything, the bookie must be licensed to operate in the Republic of Ireland. We only recommend bookmakers on this list of licensed operators from the Revenue Commissioners (the government agency responsible for overseeing online gambling in Ireland).
💶 A good value sign-up offer. We take into account the minimum odds, validity period, deposit-to-bonus ratio and how the bonuses are awarded and consider the overall value of the deal.
💸 A range of betting promotions, not only for the big sports events but all year round. The best bookies offer free bets, loyalty programs, free-to-play games and more.
📱 A smooth mobile betting experience. The majority of Irish punters bet using a smartphone and the best betting sites can also be easily accessed on mobile and via a betting app.
💳 Many payment options. The top bookies have a variety of different options including debit cards, e-wallets and mobile payment methods to meet the needs of all customers.
☘️ A focus on Irish sports: Gaelic football and hurling are as popular to bet on as football (soccer) and horse racing and the best Irish betting sites reflect this in their offering.
