Frequently Asked Questions

Here we run through the most Frequently Asked Questions about our site to provide you with the answers to some of your most pressing needs. We aim for total visibility and an honest appraisal or our site and what we provide.

Who are betyou.ie ?

We are a collection of sports betting fans and professionals who have come together to provide you with all the information you need to bet safely in the Republic of Ireland. We are not a bookmaker, but an information site.

What does betyou.ie provide?

We provide honest appraisals, comparisons and ratings of all betting sites available in Ireland. We do this so you can make the most informed choice about who you sign up and bet with.

Is betting legal in the Republic of Ireland?

Yes. Sports betting in Ireland is covered by legislation in the form of the Betting (Amendment) Act of 2015, which was an update of much older legislation which has established betting as an age-old pastime in the Republic of Ireland.

Is betting safe?

We always recommend betting only with fully licenced and regulated sports betting operators, and these are the bookmakers that we assess on our site. Betting should always be performed responsibly and with the full realisation that money can be lost. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.

Are betting websites secure?

All licenced and regulated sports betting sites – the only sites we review – use cutting edge technology to ensure full customer protection in terms of both data and the transfer of funds.

Which are the best sports betting sites in Ireland?

That’s one of the very questions we answer on betyou.ie . We provide detailed ratings of the top sports betting sites based in Ireland in order for you to make an informed decision about who you choose to bet with.

How do you decide your ratings?

Our ratings are fully comprehensive which means we consider every aspect of a sports betting operator’s offering, ranging from the value of the site’s welcome bonus, through to the numbers of sports and markets available to bet on, the value of the odds provided, to the number and quality of the features that the site provides. Plus more besides.

What is important when deciding who to bet with?

That’s a great question and may vary from person to person. But the fundamentals will usually remain the same – how safe and secure is the site, what options does the site offer for betting, and how fair are the odds. Everything else is important, but these are the non-negotiables. 

Are all betting sites the same?

Absolutely not. The quality and offering of sports betting sites can vary greatly, which is exactly why we provide our detailed ratings systems and analysis in order to provide you with all the details you need to make an informed choice that is the best for you. 

How can I make a deposit to a sports betting site?

Most sports betting sites will offer multiple methods of placing deposits and making withdrawals. These can include Visa and Mastercard, bank transfer, E-wallets, pre-paid cards and even crypto. This is one of the many details we provide when evaluating each betting site available in Ireland.
