We track all new and changing sign up offers/promotions
We also track new features and market news relevant to Irish punters
We're a (small) team of sports betting enthusiasts who test, compare and dig into the small details of every licensed betting company in Ireland, ensuring Irish punters have the full picture when choosing their next betting site.
Our fascination with presenting everything new on Irish betting sites comes from a desire to help you on three levels:
Alongside bringing newly launched online bookmakers to your attention, we focus on the latest features & promotions and even examine the various styles employed by betting companies - basically all the things that make each betting site different.
Ultimately, we keep track of the latest happenings on all licensed Irish betting sites and aim to be the first to tell you about them.
We've created this section for punters to dig even deeper into what's new on betting sites in Ireland. Feel free to browse the topics that pique your interest the most!
The newest brand to enter the UK & Irish betting markets is the online sports betting arm of Fitzwilliam Sports, the Dublin-based boutique bookmaker partly owned by prominent Irish racehorse owner, Paul Byrne.
Fitzwilliam Sports has a loyal following among members, thanks to its high-end service built on trust and reliability. Customer service is a top priority at Fitzwilliams, so much so that membership is capped to ensure each customer receives the attention they deserve!
While Fitzbet won’t be capping the number of new online betting accounts(!), new customers should know they’re likely to benefit from a level of service not experienced before. The launch of Fitzbet is certainly one of the most exciting we’ve had in Ireland for some time.
Those of a certain age will remember John Lovell Racing, with the Welshman known as a pioneer in horse race betting and the first to introduce computerised betting to British racecourses. The company was a mainstay of racecourses for nearly 50 years and, at its peak, operated just over a dozen betting shops.
Today, all of that experience and expertise is alive and kicking on Dragonbet.com, built to become the online bookmaker of Wales with a focus on Welsh sports events and teams.
DragonBet has been active in the UK since 2022, but only secured its sportsbook license in Ireland in January 2026.
The Dundalk-based company Bar One Racing, one of Ireland’s best-known independent bookmakers, has rebranded to Bar 1 Betting.
The rebrand marks a new era for the company, which began as a small, local bookmaker in 1992, founded by CEO Barney O’Hare, and is now recognised as one of the leading Irish bookies.
Since its founding, the company has prided itself on great customer service and clear communication, not only to attract new members but also to keep them happy long term. Speaking of which…
It's one thing for betting companies to attract new customers, but it's another thing to keep them sweet. However, given the competitive market we have in Ireland, it’s almost essential that bookies find ways to retain the interest of existing members.
How they do it varies from bookmaker to bookmaker. But in most cases, it's through free-to-play games, new features or new promotions.
Among the latest brands to make additions to their offerings include:
Betfred with its free-to-play predictor game, Goal Builder+. Existing customers can win a share of the weekly €10k jackpot, along with free bets, by correctly predicting five details of the first goal scored in Betfred’s selected Premier League match.
Sky Bet with its new feature, Squad Bet. Available on most (but not all) football matches, members can assemble several players from both teams and select an outcome for them to achieve together. If they do, you win your bet.
Ladbrokes & Coral with their new horse racing bet builders. The product allows punters to combine multiple selections from the same race into one customised bet. The two Entain brands have joined the likes of William Hill & bet365 in rolling out a feature that allows punters to add several legs in one bet, as is commonplace with football betting.
There are betting companies that have demonstrated there’s more than one way to skin a cat, so to speak, offering a different approach to conventional online sportsbooks and veering away from the focus on market variety and generous welcome bonuses to offer something unique.
Kwiff is a perfect example of this. Since its launch back in 2015, the UK-based operator has centred its offering on the element of surprise, boosting user engagement through Supercharged Odds (a feature that randomly increases odds after a bet has been placed) and Surprise Bets (automatically generated bets awarded at an unspecified time).
The algorithmic automation used by Kwiff today is a concept that had never been heard of or used in the industry previously. But by offering something original, Kwiff has successfully established itself in a crowded market and even inspired other companies.
For example, the Lucky Dip feature you now find on BetVictor and talkSPORT Bet also adds a similar random and exciting element to the online sports betting experience for users of those brands.
Just like VAR, Artificial Intelligence is here to stay. However, unlike VAR, AI is only set to get better!
Having already altered many aspects of our daily lives, AI will inevitably play a huge role in how we bet in the future, too. And it’s something some betting companies are already embracing...
Available in both the UK and Ireland, Netbet launched the industry’s first AI-powered betting assistant, ‘Bet AI’, in 2024, a tool designed to engage users and provide a seamless, intuitive betting experience.
Those using the tool can check betting rules, information about upcoming events, view betting odds and sports data and even get assistance with placing a sports wager.
Most impressively, perhaps, the Bet AI Assistant promotes responsible gambling by recognising signs of distress. In such cases, the user is provided with a link to the contact page so they can find advice or speak to a (human) customer assistant.

When visiting Midnite’s sportsbook for the first time, you get the feeling this isn’t just a regular betting company. The website is slick, simple and vibrant, and feels built for a younger audience.
Those first impressions aren’t wrong. Midnite sees itself leading the next generation of online betting sites for millennials and Gen Z football fans, as its marketing slogan, “We’re not your Grandad’s Bookie, confirms.
Their message also plays on the fact that there are alternatives to the list of legacy bookmakers that still dominate the UK & Irish betting markets.
Midnite is widely recognised as one of the industry’s fastest-growing brands, with sponsorship deals with Championship teams, Sheffield United and Southampton and partnership agreements in snooker for two of the sport’s most prestigious events, boosting the brand’s presence and popularity still further.
