Ordered by number of Irish App Store ratings. Both stores checked 9 October 2026. Google Play ratings are worldwide figures, not Ireland-only, and some bookmakers run one app across several countries. Store ratings come from a self-selected group of users and say nothing about withdrawals or support.

How we compare betting apps
This is a desk comparison of published Irish App Store and Google Play listings and each operator’s own site, checked on 9 October 2026. We have not tested every app hands-on, and we say so wherever a detail is unverified. iOS figures come from the Irish App Store. Google Play ratings are worldwide, so they can differ from what Irish users think. We do not compare odds. Your app store shows the current figures.
Each review we link to covers the Irish licence, markets, payments, safety tools and a verdict. Licences were checked against the Irish Revenue register of licensed remote bookmakers on the dates stated in those reviews.
Betting app reviews
Paddy Power app
iOS rating 4.7/5 from 50,014 Irish App Store ratings, 188 MB, needs iOS 15.0 or later, last updated 28 Sep 2026. Android rating 4.3/5 from 44,354 Google Play ratings (1M+ installs). Irish Revenue remote bookmaker licence no. 1010107. iOS store listing: Paddy Power Sports Betting, seller Paddy Power PLC.
The most-rated betting app on the Irish App Store by a wide margin, with a lower Android score (4.3). The listing describes Bet Builder and Bet Builder+, accumulator and player statistics, a Super Sub feature that rolls a football bet to a replacement player, live streaming and cash out. It is a big download at about 188 MB, so allow for storage on an older phone. Streaming eligibility depends on your account and the event.
bet365 app
iOS rating 4.7/5 from 15,892 Irish App Store ratings, 61 MB, needs iOS 15.0 or later, last updated 8 Oct 2026. Android rating 4.5/5 from 264,593 Google Play ratings (5M+ installs). Irish Revenue remote bookmaker licence no. 1015541. iOS store listing: bet365 – Sports Betting, seller Hillside Technology Limited.
A light download at about 60 MB, with the biggest Android ratings base of any app here (about 265,000). bet365 is known for in-play depth and live streaming for logged-in customers with a funded account or recent bet activity, plus cash out on most markets. The Irish licence covers sports betting only, so casino games in the same brand family are not covered. Check what streaming your account unlocks before relying on it.
Betway app
iOS rating 4.7/5 from 2,568 Irish App Store ratings, 63 MB, needs iOS 15.1 or later, last updated 5 Oct 2026. Android rating 4.5/5 from 23,913 Google Play ratings (1M+ installs). Irish Revenue remote bookmaker licence no. 1010156. iOS store listing: Betway Sports Betting – Live, seller Digital Outsource International Limited.
The App Store listing describes live betting across more than 30 sports, Bet Builder, full and partial cash out and enhanced odds called Betway Boosts. Both store scores are strong (4.7 on iOS, 4.5 on Android). We have not tested the app hands-on, and prices are not compared here.
BetVictor app
iOS rating 4.7/5 from 2,177 Irish App Store ratings, 131 MB, needs iOS 16.0 or later, last updated 2 Oct 2026. Android rating 4.0/5 from 4,369 Google Play ratings (500K+ installs). Irish Revenue remote bookmaker licence no. 1010233. iOS store listing: BetVictor Sports Bets & Casino, seller BV Gaming Limited.
The listing is a combined Sports Bets & Casino app, with live in-play betting and streaming and a best-odds offer on UK and Irish racing whose terms we have not verified. Remember the Irish licence is a betting licence, so treat the casino side as outside it. The developer collects financial and contact data, which is normal for a real-money app but worth checking in privacy settings.
Novibet app
iOS rating 4.4/5 from 1,268 Irish App Store ratings, 244 MB, needs iOS 15.0 or later, last updated 8 Oct 2026. Android rating 4.2/5 from 573 Google Play ratings (50K+ installs). Irish Revenue remote bookmaker licence no. 1020856. iOS store listing: Novibet – Betting & Casino, seller Logflex MT Limited.
The Irish App Store listing is titled Betting & Casino and the seller is Logflex MT Limited. Our review could not confirm detailed features from Novibet’s own pages, so we make no feature claims here. Search for the app in your store, check the seller name, and read recent reviews before installing.
William Hill app
iOS rating 4.6/5 from 1,102 Irish App Store ratings, 161 MB, needs iOS 16.0 or later, last updated 22 Sep 2026. Android rating 4.0/5 from 469 Google Play ratings (10K+ installs). Irish Revenue remote bookmaker licence no. 1016824. iOS store listing: William Hill: Sports Betting, seller WHG International Ltd.
A solid score on over a thousand ratings. William Hill has a strong Irish racing heritage, but we could not load williamhill.com during our review, so we cannot confirm current app features or payment options. Check what the app offers for your sport before you register.
888sport app
iOS rating 4.4/5 from 920 Irish App Store ratings, 79 MB, needs iOS 15.0 or later, last updated 17 Aug 2026. Android rating 4.1/5 from 6,302 Google Play ratings (100K+ installs). Irish Revenue remote bookmaker licence no. 1010120. iOS store listing: 888sport: Live Sports Betting., seller Virtual IP Assets Limited.
The listing describes in-play betting, Cash Out, Bet Builder, Watch & Bet streaming for UK and Irish racecourses and a BetFeed of popular bets. The Android app also has a Google Play listing, with 6,302 ratings. The iOS listing was last updated on 17 August 2026.
BoyleSports app
iOS rating 4.4/5 from 903 Irish App Store ratings, 48 MB, needs iOS 15.0 or later, last updated 1 Sep 2026. Android rating 4.3/5 from 2,875 Google Play ratings (500K+ installs). Irish Revenue remote bookmaker licence no. 1010144. iOS store listing: BoyleSports Sports Betting App, seller Boylesports Ltd.
One of the smaller downloads at about 48 MB. BoyleSports’ own site shows Bet Builder Boost and ACCA Boost/Insure. Its rating is lower than the biggest apps but rests on 903 ratings. We could not confirm streaming or cash out coverage, so check your sport before you sign up.
Sky Bet app
iOS rating 4.6/5 from 656 Irish App Store ratings, 214 MB, needs iOS 16.0 or later, last updated 6 Oct 2026. Android rating 4.7/5 from 57,471 Google Play ratings (1M+ installs). Irish Revenue remote bookmaker licence no. 1022609. iOS store listing: Sky Bet – Sports Betting, seller Bonne Terre Ltd.
Sky Bet has the highest Android score of the larger apps (4.7 from over 57,000 ratings). Its own site highlights Build A Bet, Request A Bet, in-play betting and cash out, with horse racing given prominent billing. The app is a large download at about 214 MB. We could not confirm payment methods or full offer terms, so check these on skybet.com.
Midnite app
iOS rating 4.7/5 from 220 Irish App Store ratings, 159 MB, needs iOS 16.0 or later, last updated 6 Oct 2026. Android rating 4.3/5 from 4,742 Google Play ratings (100K+ installs). Irish Revenue remote bookmaker licence no. 1019666. iOS store listing: Midnite: Sports & Casino, seller Dribble Media Limited.
A mobile-first sportsbook with in-play betting on most markets and a good score on a modest number of ratings. We could not confirm euro payment limits or processing times, so check these in the app before depositing.
Unibet app
iOS rating 3.7/5 from 180 Irish App Store ratings, 329 MB, needs iOS 17.0 or later, last updated 5 Oct 2026. Android rating 3.0/5 from 14,747 Google Play ratings (1M+ installs). Irish Revenue remote bookmaker licence no. 1013174. iOS store listing: Unibet – Live Sports Betting, seller KINDRED (LONDON) LIMITED.
The lowest scores of the larger apps on both stores: 3.7 on iOS from 180 ratings and 3.0 on Android from nearly 15,000, so the Android figure is a meaningful signal. It is also the biggest download at about 329 MB. Unibet offers in-play and cash out on most markets, and has historically supported live streaming for logged-in customers. Casino and poker apps under the Unibet brand are separate and not covered by the Irish betting licence.
QuinnBet app
iOS rating 4.3/5 from 12 Irish App Store ratings, 22 MB, needs iOS 15.1 or later, last updated 29 Jul 2026. Android rating 2.3/5 from 194 Google Play ratings (100K+ installs). Irish Revenue remote bookmaker licence no. 1019644. iOS store listing: QuinnBet: Sports Bets & Casino, seller QuinnBet(Gibraltar) Limited.
An operator with Irish roots. The iOS rating rests on only 12 ratings, which is too few to read anything into, but the Android score is a low 2.3 from 194 ratings, so check recent reviews before you install. Its own site could not be read by our tools, so we make no feature claims. It is a small download at about 22 MB. Check market coverage for your sport in the app.
Kwiff app
iOS rating 2.7/5 from 12 Irish App Store ratings, 20 MB, needs iOS 13.0 or later, last updated 11 Jun 2026. Android rating 4.0/5 from 3,709 Google Play ratings (100K+ installs). Irish Revenue remote bookmaker licence no. 1015903. iOS store listing: kwiff: Sports Betting & Casino, seller Kwiff Limited.
Built around the mobile app, with the Supercharge feature applying randomised boosted odds to selected markets. The iOS rating is 2.7 but from only 12 ratings, while the Android score is 4.0 from 3,709 ratings, so the two stores disagree and the Android figure carries more weight. A very small download at about 20 MB.
Which betting app is most trusted?
No app store score proves an app is trustworthy. The strongest check is the licence: confirm the bookmaker is on the Irish Revenue register of licensed remote bookmakers, and that the seller name in the app store belongs to the same company group. Seller names can differ from the licence holder. For example, bet365’s iOS seller is Hillside Technology Limited, while its Irish licence is held by Hillside (Sports) ENC. Our guide on how to check a bookmaker is licensed shows the steps.
On pure ratings volume, Paddy Power (50,014 ratings) and bet365 (15,892) have the largest user bases, and both score 4.7 out of 5. A large sample is a more reliable signal than a high score from a handful of ratings, which is why we flag Kwiff and QuinnBet, each with only 12.
Two more bookmakers we have reviewed publish Irish App Store data in their own reviews but are not in the table above. On 10 October 2026, LiveScore Bet (“Sports & Casino”) showed 4.65 out of 5 from 770 ratings, and Betfair showed 4.59 from 5,198 ratings for its sports app and 4.63 from 2,203 for the separate Exchange app. Both reviews set out what we could not verify, including the Android listings.
Are there free betting apps in Ireland?
Every app listed here is free to download from the Irish App Store. You still need to fund your account to place a bet, and downloading an app does not unlock a bonus. Offers change, so read the operator’s own terms before you deposit. Our free bets and wagering explained guide covers how wagering requirements work.
Which betting app is best for iPhone or Android?
Most apps score well on both. Sky Bet (4.7 on Android) and Betway and bet365 (4.5) are strongest on Google Play among the apps with large rating bases, while Unibet (3.0) and QuinnBet (2.3) are weakest. On iPhone, Betway, bet365, BetVictor and Paddy Power all sit at 4.7. Paddy Power is the clearest gap between stores, at 4.7 on iOS and 4.3 on Android.
Check the minimum iOS version in the table: Kwiff runs on iOS 13.0 or later, most apps need iOS 15.0 to 15.1, and Unibet needs iOS 17.0 or later, so an older iPhone may not support every app. On Android, look at the Google Play listing for your phone’s compatibility, install only the app linked from the bookmaker’s Irish site, and check the developer name matches the company (for example Hillside Technology Limited for bet365, or Kindred (London) Limited for Unibet).
What are the best betting apps for Android users in Ireland?
Sky Bet has the highest Google Play rating of the big apps we cover, at 4.7 out of 5 from 57,471 ratings. bet365 and Betway follow at 4.5, with Paddy Power and BoyleSports both on 4.3.
Install size matters on Android too: the Play listing shows installs of 5M+ for bet365 and 1M+ for Paddy Power, Betway, Sky Bet and Unibet. Unibet (3.0) and QuinnBet (2.3) have the weakest Android scores, so read recent reviews before you install either. Install only the app linked from the bookmaker’s own Irish site, and check that the developer name matches the company. Android ratings are the Google Play figures from our 9 October check.
What are the best mobile betting apps for Irish users?
Paddy Power and bet365 are the safest starting points for most Irish punters. They have the biggest rating bases (50,014 and 15,892 on the Irish App Store, both 4.7 out of 5) and both hold an Irish Revenue remote bookmaker’s licence.
If storage is tight, the smallest downloads are Kwiff (20 MB), QuinnBet (22 MB) and BoyleSports (48 MB), against 329 MB for Unibet and 244 MB for Novibet. For racing, 888sport lists Watch & Bet racing streams; our horse racing hub covers the festivals and courses. Still choosing a bookmaker rather than an app? Compare betting sites in Ireland by licence and offer, and read the free bets guide before you claim anything. Our bet calculator works out returns on any stake.
What should I check before downloading a betting app?
- The bookmaker holds an Irish Revenue remote bookmaker’s licence, and the licence number matches.
- The store listing shows the top App Store age rating (17+) and a seller from the same company group, and the app carries an 18+ notice.
- The app covers your sport, for example GAA, racing or football, with the features you need.
- You know the minimum iOS or Android version and the download size.
- You have set deposit limits and know where the safer gambling tools are.
