Best Football Betting Sites Reviewed & Compared
Football bettors tend to have different priorities when choosing a bookmaker to bet with. For this reason, we've categorised some of the best football betting sites according to specific features below:
Best Football Betting Site For Live Betting: bet365
Best Features: bet365 was one of the first football betting sites to offer in-play betting and continues to provide a top-class live betting service. There's a huge range of live streams across multiple leagues and this is one of the few sites where you can partially cash out your bet.
Biggest Negatives: No acca insurance.
Alternative: BetVictor
Our View: bet365 is the go-to betting site for those of us who like to bet during a game. Most football bookies have a decent in-play service these days, but bet365 stands out from the crowd with in-play stats, partial cash out, wider market coverage and early payout offers.
Football Club Sponsorships: Stoke City Football Club
A Word From The Expert - Michael Butlin:
"The standout offer from bet365 is the early payout promo, which pays out my football bets when the team I've backed takes a two-goal lead.
"I've come across other football betting sites with similar offers but they usually apply to singles only.
"The key difference with bet365 is that this offer also applies to accumulators, which can come in very handy for football acca bettors like myself."
Best Football Betting Site For Spread Betting: Spreadex
Best Features: Spreadex is one of the only football betting sites that allows you to place spread bets, which is similar to going long or short on a stock. There are traditional fixed-odds options as well, along with promotions such as First Goalscorer Insurance (money back if your player doesn't score first but nets later in the game).
Biggest Negatives: Not as many football betting promos as some competitors.
Alternative: Ladbrokes
Our View: Spreadex has brought something very different to the online football betting scene with its spread betting options. We'd like to see more football promotions for fixed-odds bettors, but we expect that these will be added in time.
Football Club Sponsorships: Blackburn Rovers FC, Sunderland AFC
Best Football Bookmaker for Odds Boosts: Bzeebet
Best Features: Bzeebet has accumulator boosts of up to 77% on all football accas. You can also get free football bets every Thursday when you place a number of accas throughout the week
Biggest Negatives: No football live streams yet.
Alternative: 10bet
Our View: Bzeebet keeps things simple with an intuitive site and some straightforward football bonuses that are easy to claim. Considering this football betting site was only launched in 2022, we're excited to see where they take things from here.
A Word From The Expert - Michael Butlin:
"There are very few football punters out there who don't love a weekend acca - and I'm no different.
"Bzeebet doesn't have too many bells and whistles, but it's a great football option for accumulator bettors. There's acca profit boosts, free bet rewards for placing accumulators and a bet builder that allows you to combine up to 30 legs from one game."
Best Football Betting App: LeoVegas
Best Features: LeoVegas is designed with a mobile-first approach, which shines through in their super-fast betting app. A 10% profit boost on matches involving partner clubs (Man City, Inter Milan and Blackpool) is a nice unique promotion to take advantage of here.
Biggest Negatives: A broader range of football offers would be nice.
Alternative: William Hill
Our View: LeoVegas stands out as the best football betting app for its unique promotions and ease of use. Along with partner club boosts, you can take get 15 acca boosts per week. There's also a handy multi-match football bet builder to get stuck into.
Football Club Sponsorships: Manchester City FC, Inter Milan, Blackpool FC
Best Premier League Football Betting Site: Betway
Best Features: Betway is reliable for some of the best Premier League odds boosts you'll find online. Match and outright markets are regularly boosted, while the Free Bet Club comes with weekly Premier League free bets.
Biggest Negatives: Desktop site looks a little cluttered at times.
Alternative: 888sport
Our View: We're yet to come across enhanced prices that match up to Premier League 'Betway Boosts'. This site sponsors two Premier League clubs and boasts Ireland legend Robbie Keane as a brand ambassador, which adds credibility to the brand.
Football Club Sponsorships: West Ham United, Brighton & Hove Albion, Arsenal FC, Atletico Madrid, Eintracht Frankfurt
Best Football Betting Site for Free Bets: Kwiff
Best Features: Kwiff is reliable for regular football free bets. A free bet club and random surprise bets keep punters engaged, along with a welcome bonus with even more free football bets.
Biggest Negatives: Sometimes beaten on in-play odds.
Alternative: Monster
Our View: We enjoy Kwiff's unique approach to football betting, with the element of surprise playing a key role here. Odds are randomly boosted after we place bets, while cash out values are sometimes randomly enhanced as well.
How we Review Football Betting Sites
We review Ireland’s best football betting sites by registering an account with all available bookmakers and claiming a welcome offer. We then place bets and try out the site in the same way any other punter would.
Here are some of the criteria we use when testing and comparing football bookies. These are key factors you should consider when choosing your next football betting site.
Licensing & Security
When choosing a football bookmaker, a licence is the first thing you should look for. Irish football betting sites must be licensed and regulated by official bodies such as the Malta Gaming Authority, ensuring your personal data is protected and you have access to responsible gambling tools.
Football Betting Odds
It's crucial that any good football betting site has competitive odds. Our review team compares odds for the same markets across a range of different football betting sites, to identify the bookmakers with the best prices.
Football Betting Offers
With football matches taking place across the world 365 days of the year, it’s vital that your football bookmaker has regular (ideally daily) promotions available. These offers can include price boosts, early payout deals, money-back offers and free bets. They should also have free bet sign-up offers without restrictive terms and conditions.
Mobile Betting
The rise of mobile betting has changed the way we gamble on football in Ireland. Good football bookies should have football betting apps or mobile sites that allow you to bet quickly and easily. They should cater to iPhone and Android users.
Betting Market Variety
Football betting sites must have a wide range of markets to choose from. This has long been one of the first things we look for when carrying out reviews at Gambling.com. A bookie can have all the fancy features it wants, but if all types of bettors aren't catered to, it's a big negative.
Payment Options & Payout Speed
Licensed football betting sites must accommodate a range of payment options. We expect to see debit cards from Visa and Mastercard supported, along with e-wallets like PayPal, Trustly, Skrill, Neteller, Apple Pay and ecoPayz.
Quality of Customer Support
The more available customer support channels, the better. Live chat is the handiest way to get a question answered and every bookmaker should have this facility available. Email and toll-free phone number details should also be provided.
Ease of Sign-Up
You shouldn't have to jump through too many hoops when signing up to football betting sites. It should be a simple, secure process that doesn't take much effort. Safety is a priority for our review team, so we do want football bookmakers to carry out the necessary legal checks.
Industry Reputation
Irish football betting sites have to come from betting companies with a solid reputation in the gambling industry if they are to feature on this page. We believe that betting companies should pay the price if they stop doing the right things, so you won't see any disreputable names in Gambling.com's list of recommendations.
In-Play Football Betting Options
These days, the best football betting sites must offer 24/7 live betting. In-play betting is the perfect tool for strategic punters who want to take advantage of football odds while a game is live. You should be able to enjoy super-fast live betting with a simple click or tap of a button. It also helps if a bookmaker has football live streams, so you can watch while betting.
Customer Feedback
We listen to what bettors are saying about football betting sites before deciding whether or not to sign up. If a site receives terrible reviews on forums or app stores, it's a big red flag, as there's usually no smoke without fire. We only recommend Irish football betting sites that have proven to be a big hit with punters.
User Interface & Design
A well-designed football betting site should have an intuitive user interface. It should be easy to navigate, aesthetically pleasing and responsive, to ensure a good all-round user experience.
Responsible Gambling Features
All licensed football bookies must have responsible gambling features - but some sites do a better job in this area than others. We check football betting sites to ensure they take responsible gambling seriously and provide tools to anyone who might need them.
Blogs, Tips & Betting Guides
Some of the best football betting sites have tipsters and brand ambassadors that provide tips to punters in site blogs and news sections. Take these with a pinch of salt as some are more trustworthy than others - but it can be useful to check out what ex-players are saying, for example.
Popular Football Betting Markets Explained
- Match Result: Match result is the simplest, most popular market and is sometimes labelled 1x2 at football betting sites. This is simply a bet on the final result of a match.
- BTTS: BTTS stands for ‘both teams to score’. You select 'yes' or 'no' depending on your preference, while there are BTTS markets for each half of play as well.
- Goalscorer Markets: Goalscorer betting has long been a favourite of football punters. You can choose to bet on the first goalscorer, last goalscorer or on a player to score at any time in a match
- Over/Under: Over/under can apply to a range of different scenarios. Typically, a line is set on a number of goals, corners or cards. Simply choose whether there will be more or less than the line set by the bookie.
- Double Chance: Double chance offers allows you to wager on two outcomes in a match at reduced odds. For example, the home side to win or draw, meaning either result would make your bet a winner.
- Correct Score: Correct score is one of the most self-explanatory football betting markets. Simply predict the exact score at the end of the match. You can also bet on the correct score at half-time or other set intervals during a game.
- Half Time/Full Time: HT/FT allows you to combine the result at half-time of a match with the full-time outcome. So for example, if a team is set to dominate, you can back them to lead at both half-time and full-time.
- Handicap Bets: Handicap betting involves the bookmaker giving one team an advantage or disadvantage to level the playing field. For instance, if Team A has a -1 handicap, they must win by two or more goals for your handicap bet to win.
