For the newest bookies, have a look at this complete list of new betting sites in Ireland.
Betting companies and brands born in Ireland include BOYLE Sports, Paddy Power and QuinnBet.
Founded by John Boyle in 1982, BOYLE Sports is Ireland’s largest privately owned bookmaker. BOYLE Sports HQ is located in Dundalk.
Paddy Power was founded in 1988 after three bookmakers joined forces. It’s widely accepted that the brand, which merged with Betfair in 2016 and with FanDuel in 2018, is the biggest in Ireland. Although Paddy Power is now officially under Flutter Entertainment, its headquarters are in Dublin.

Our go-to betting site for horse racing betting has to be Ireland's own, BoyleSports.
On top of live streaming for all UK/Irish races and Racing Post predictions, BoyleSports offers an excellent range of promotions, including money-back offers and Extra Race Place. Its Best Odds Guaranteed offer, available from 8am, is also the best (along with Ladbrokes).
If BoyleSports isn't your cup of tea, Bet365, BetVictor and Coral are also great betting sites for horse racing.
Every online bookmaker has an introductory offer for new members to claim. In Ireland, the welcome bonus will usually come in the form of free bets, a matched deposit and on the rare occasion, a no deposit bonus.
The type of offer and the amount that can be claimed depend wholly on the bookmaker you choose, with some bookies more generous than others.
What’s common for almost every bookmaker sign-up offer in Ireland, however, is the need to deposit funds and/or place a qualifying bet.
Here’s a full list of the latest betting sign-up offers in Ireland.
Yes, it’s perfectly legal to bet on sports with an online bookmaker, just as betting in a physical shop in Ireland is allowed.
However, we recommend that any online betting you partake in is with a licensed betting site. This way, you’re guaranteed fair play, secure transactions, reliable payouts, and responsible gambling measures.
This list from the Revenue Commissioners shows all licensed remote bookmakers in Ireland currently. Aside from checking this, you can scroll to the foot of a betting site to find the license number issued by the Revenue Commissioners (the body currently responsible for overseeing online gambling in Ireland).
You should note that the newly formed Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) - Ireland’s New Gambling Regulatory body - is soon to introduce a new licensing regime.
One of the major changes under the regulations will require licensees to pay into a Social Impact Fund, created to help people with gambling addiction. It’s believed that the new rules will come into effect at some point in 2026.
As of November 2025, there are over 100 online bookmakers for punters in the Republic of Ireland to choose from.
