New Betting Sites in Ireland (2024)

Many Irish punters might not necessarily consider Quinnbet a 'new betting site', but it actually launched in 2017 and thus doesn't have the same history as other competitors. It is by far the most complete sports betting product on this list, named among the best football betting sites in our test.

Around 30 different sports can be found on the site and there are also some special markets, including politics, so customers are spoiled for choices. A prominent football match will usually have 150-200 markets and there is also a bet builder tool, although this could be a bit better in terms of market depth.

As for the betting margins, our test showed a very nice average of 5.12%. Live streaming is also offered for horse racing and other selected sports events, making it easy for customers to follow the action. However, the live interface could certainly have a more 'luxurious' feel as other prominent bookmakers tend to have infographics.

Quinnbet really shines on the promotions front, with a great welcome offer to begin with and a plethora of promotions for multiple sports. Horse racing alone has 11 promotions (!), so there is something for everyone here and that is nice to see. Overall, therefore, the bookie is a worthy number one here.

LiveScore Bet is a new site on the betting scene, but many punters will know of the brand thanks to the football score app. Sister sites include Virgin Bet and Kambi is the provider of the sportsbook, so one would expect a certain quality. Indeed, the bookmaker has a lot going for it.

Almost 40 different sports can be found on the site, in addition to special markets, and the market depth is decent with a little over 100 markets for a big football game. We really like the design of the bet builder but some popular markets were missing from this tool, which will be a deal-breaker for some punters.

Our betting margins test showed an average of 7.01%, which is okay, but LiveScore Bet could certainly improve on this front. Streaming, on the other hand, is something that the bookie has always done well - initially launching it in its football score app - and thus punters can enjoy football games and horse racing meetings from all over the world.

LiveScore Bet is rather good at offering promotions to existing customers, always keeping up with the latest sports events, but the best deal is arguably the sign-up offer. New customers can claim a whopping €50 in free bets and that alone is a reason to create an account and give the bookie a go.

Luckster, which is part of the AG Communications Limited portfolio, was launched in 2022 and most punters will probably be familiar with the design already. The bookie clearly plays to the Irish market as the logo features a leprechaun hat, while the site has a green theme as opposed to the sister sites.

Around 30 different sports are available to bet on and the market depth is bang in the middle with 100-200 markets, depending on the football game. There is, however, no bet builder and that is a huge disadvantage. The popular tool has almost become a must for betting sites to survive, so it remains to be seen if AGC will add the feature down the line.

The betting margins, as confirmed by our test, came in at 7.1% on average and that is also something that will have to be improved. Live streaming isn't offered either and this - just like the lack of a bet builder - will be a deal-breaker for most.

Luckster doesn't exactly redeem itself on the promotions front either, with only an acca boost offered to existing customers. Those who have just signed up can claim a bet €10 get €10 deal which is decent, but this isn't enough to make up for the shortcomings.
