BetOnRed is mainly focused on casino players, as the name suggests, but the sportsbook does a nice job for punters. Our odds comparison tests show that BetOnRed generally provides good value, particularly on Esports lines.
Irish sports fans are among the most passionate in the world and that energy translates into a vibrant betting scene.
Whether you’re following your local GAA team, backing a favourite at Leopardstown, or tracking top-level football, the right betting site should offer odds for all the events that matter to you.
But that's just the starting point. The prices need to provide value and there should be plenty of bonuses and boosts on offer.
Perhaps most crucially, betting sites need to be safe to use, which is why we only highlight licensed bookmakers.
Horse Racing Betting
Horse racing is woven into the fabric of Irish sporting culture.
From Punchestown and the Curragh at home to Cheltenham and Aintree across the water, betting on racing has been popular in Ireland for centuries.
Daily Irish & UK Racecards: Full listings of all the big jumps and flat races from Ireland and the UK - with competitive odds on runners.
Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG): With best odds guaranteed, you get the better price if the starting price exceeds your early odds.
Each-Way Extra: Get more each-way value with extra places in races with bigger fields.
Live Streaming & Commentary: Ideal for watching the race unfold in real-time after you've placed a bet (or even place a bet in-running while the race is on).
Ante-Post Markets: Early betting odds on major events like the Grand National, the Irish Derby, or Cheltenham Festival races.
Our Recommended Horse Racing Betting Site: Betfred
Known as the 'Bonus King', Betfred is our favourite Irish horse racing bookie thanks to its blend of generous promotions, market-leading odds and wide range of horse racing markets.
Our betting site review expert Cathal Austin has updated our Betfred review for July 2025 after weeks of extensive testing.
Read it to find out why Betfred tops our list of the best Irish racing bookies.

Football Betting
Football remains one of the biggest drivers of betting activity in Ireland, spanning everything from the Premier League and the Irish international team to domestic League of Ireland fixtures.
Bet Builders: Create custom same-game accumulator bets by combining markets from one match - from stats and player markets to goals, cards, corners and more.
Live Streaming: Like horse racing, football is one of the sports that you can often watch live when betting with an online bookmaker.
Accumulator Offers: Multi-leg football bets are hugely popular and are often boosted with promotional offers.
Early Payouts: Lots of sites now pay out your bet as a winner if the team you've backed takes a two-goal lead.
Our Recommended Football Betting Site: bet365
bet365 is probably the world's largest and best-known online bookie and our go-to football betting site.
bet365 stands out from the crowd with market-leading odds, a huge array of promotions, including an unrivalled live betting service offering stats, partial cash out and wider market coverage than rivals.
Read more in our bet365 review, which has been updated for July 2025 with the latest results from our betting site tests.
18+. Available to new customers only. Free Bets are paid as Bet Credits. Returns exclude Bet Credits stake. T&Cs, time limits and exclusions apply.
GAA Betting
Gaelic games hold a special place in Irish sport and GAA betting surges in popularity each summer, when the inter-county season reaches the business end.
However, not all betting sites treat it equally. Many platforms offer only basic coverage, while others go the extra mile - providing a far richer GAA betting experience.
The best online bookies have:
Broad Inter-County Coverage: Not just odds for big All-Ireland fixtures, but also comprehensive markets for National League and provincial championship games.
Early Odds Availability: Posting prices well in advance so punters have time to assess value and plan bets.
Club Betting Options: Some sites have odds on club matches - even extending beyond senior level down to intermediate and junior games.
Our Recommended GAA Betting Site: BoyleSports
BoyleSports is Ireland’s biggest independent bookmaker and a favourite among GAA punters.
The site boasts an unmatched range of markets for Gaelic football and hurling on top of some genuinely valuable promotions.
Find out why it's our favourite site to use for GAA betting in our BoyleSports review.

Golf Betting
Golf is another favourite among Irish punters, especially during the four majors and big tour events featuring homegrown talent.
What sets the best betting sites apart isn’t just market coverage, but added value offered around major tournaments.
Look out for sites that provide:
Extra Each-Way Places: Top bookmakers frequently offer extended each-way terms for golf - sometimes paying out on 8, 10, or even 12 places instead of the standard 5. This can make a huge difference, especially in large fields.
Boosted Odds: Enhanced prices on headline players are often promoted in the days leading up to major tournaments, offering better potential returns without additional risk.
Weekly Golf Specials: Some platforms also run recurring offers like bonuses on winning golf accas or weekly free bets as loyalty rewards.
Our Recommended Golf Betting Site: William Hill
William Hill is one of the best Irish bookies for golf because of its competitive pricing.
It also offers plenty of each way value - especially around the Majors - thanks to its 8-place payouts at 1/5 odds.
Read more about the site in our William Hill review, which includes recently updated info on odds, latest promos and markets.
18+ Play Safe. New customers using Promo code BB40 only. Min €10 stake, min odds 1/2, free bets paid as 4 x €10, free bets credited after settlement of first qualifying bet, free bets will expire 7 days after the qualifying bet is placed, payment method/player/country restrictions apply. See full terms below. gamblingtherapy.org
Rugby Betting
While rugby betting options are more consistently available than GAA markets - there is some similarity between the two, because too many bookmakers don't do enough for rugby bettors.
The best rugby-focused betting sites typically stand out by offering:
Early Payout Offers: If your team goes a certain number of points ahead (e.g. 10 or 14), your rugby bet is paid out early - even if they go on to lose.
Odds Boosts: Enhanced prices for popular try-scorers, winning margins, or accumulators around key fixtures make betting more rewarding.
Consistent Global Coverage: The best sites must have lots of markets for competitions featuring the provinces like the URC or the Champions Cup, along with the big international tournaments like the Six Nations and Rugby World Cup.
Our Recommended Rugby Betting Site: Ladbrokes
Ladbrokes goes the extra mile when it comes to its rugby markets - you'll find more options here than most rivals.
Another reason to pick Ladbrokes for rugby bets is the frequent odds boosts the bookie offers on everything from the Six Nations to the Champions Cup.
Find out more about this standout rugby bookie in our Ladbrokes review, which has been fully updated by our betting site analyst Cathal Austin.
18+ New UK+IRE Customers only. Certain deposit methods & bet types excl. Min first €5 bet within 14 days of account reg at min odds 1/2 to get 4x €5 free bets. Free bets available to use on selected sportsbook markets only. Free bets valid for 7 days, stake not returned. Restrictions + T&Cs apply.

FAQ
Is online betting legal in Ireland?
Yes, online betting is legal in Ireland. It is regulated under the Betting (Amendment) Act 2015, which requires operators to obtain a licence to offer services to Irish residents. Both domestic and international betting companies can operate legally, provided they meet licensing requirements and adhere to Irish gambling laws.
What betting sites take Revolut?
QuinnBet is one of the best betting sites that accepts Revolut for both deposits and withdrawals. Some other Revolut betting sites in Ireland are BoyleSports, Ladbrokes, bet365 and William Hill.
Which betting site has the best odds?
Odds vary depending on which sport or event you're betting on. bet365 is rarely beaten when it comes to football odds. BetVictor has outstanding prices when it comes to horse racing. If you're betting on GAA, Ladbrokes and BoyleSports provide the best value. We recommend holding a few different betting accounts and comparing the odds before placing bets, so you can shop around for the best prices.
How do betting sites make money?
Betting sites make money through the overround, also known as the vig or margin. This means the total implied probabilities of all possible outcomes exceed 100%, ensuring a built-in profit. By adjusting odds and balancing bets, they secure earnings over the long-term, even when you factor in the variance of sporting results.
What betting sites take PayPal?
The vast majority of Irish betting sites accept PayPal as a payment method, including big names in the industry like Betfred, BoyleSports, Ladbrokes, Betway and bet365. It's worth being aware, however, that some welcome offers can't be claimed from PayPal deposits, so we advise reviewing promotional terms before you claim a bonus.
