Our Rating Methodology
At Gambling.com, we follow a strict review and rating methodology for how we review sports betting sites.
This means we sign up to betting apps and test all of their features, so we can provide a full overview and rating for each app.
Below is a simplified outline of the 10-step progress that we undertake when testing any betting app, which can take up to two months for one of our experts:
Check to see if the app is safe, secure and licensed.
Sign up to the site as a new user and verify ID.
Deposit to the betting app using real money.
Claim the new customer offer and confirm the terms and conditions.
Review the odds and markets available across a range of sports.
Claim any existing customer bonuses, again confirming their terms and conditions.
Place bets across a variety of markets and sports.
Get in touch with customer support to ensure a high level of service.
Test any betting app on both iOS and Android devices.
Withdraw any available funds to check processing times and withdrawal charges.
Once we have finished our 10-step process, we start the review process to assign an overall rating to the betting app.
For each of the categories below, we will assign a score out of 10. We’ll then use these figures to calculate an average score for our review.
For example, if a site scores 85/100, we’ll assign an 8.5/10 rating.
Sports & Markets
Promotions
Payments
Customer Support
Reputation & User Feedback
Site User Experience
Mobile Features
Responsible Gambling
Live In-Play Betting Features
Value of Odds
Once we’ve assigned a score, we’ll revisit each site monthly to test any new features and allow ourselves to update our rating accurately.
A complete re-evaluation of all our betting apps on this page takes place at least once every six months.
Our review process not only takes on board our expert opinion, but also incorporates feedback from Gambling.com users.
We gather these insights in a few different ways:
Live User Testing: We hold individual sessions with real users whilst they use betting apps, which are guided by independent moderators to gather honest feedback.
Focus Groups: We observe our members engaging in group discussions, where they dive into their own experience throughout betting app usage.
User Ratings & Reviews: Our members regularly share their own reviews and ratings, providing valuable feedback from real users.
Surveys & Polls: We regularly run polls amongst our members, where we gather feedback on new features, promotions or site updates.
By getting real-user insights, we are able to accurately recommend the best betting apps that real bettors are interested in.

Offers From Irish Betting Apps
As you've seen from our reviews, the best betting apps often use bonuses and promotions to attract and retain customers. Some of the most best bonuses to take advantage of are:
Welcome Bonus: New users receive a bonus amount or free bet from their betting app when they register and make a deposit or place a qualifying bet.
Matched Deposit: Betting apps match a first deposit up to a certain percentage. For instance, a 100% matched deposit would double your first deposit.
Enhanced Odds: For selected events and markets, the best betting apps will boost the odds. Enhanced prices come with welcome offers or as extra perks for existing customers.
Cashback: If you lose a number of bets, you receive back a percentage of your stakes from your sports bookie app, ensuring you don't walk away completely empty-handed.
Acca Insurance: With acca insurance, if you place an accumulator bet with multiple selections and one leg lets you down, betting apps refund your stake as a free bet.
Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG): Commonly found in horse racing betting, if you take a price and the starting price ends up being larger, best odds guaranteed means the betting app pays out at the higher odds.
Betting Apps on Tablets & iPads
Betting apps on iPads and tablets offer a larger screen, which sometimes enhances usability and navigation.
Unlike smartphones, tablets provide a desktop-like interface, allowing users to view more markets with ease and to access a bigger screen for live streams.
However, there are some downsides. Not all bookmakers optimise their apps for tablets, so users may end up with a stretched mobile version instead of a fully functional tablet app.
Some apps also run slower on older tablets, and certain features - like push notifications and verification - may not work as well.
Despite these drawbacks, some bookmakers offer well-optimised tablet apps:
bet365: Excellent tablet UI, live streaming, and mobile in-play betting.
William Hill: Optimised for iPads with great live betting options.
