LiveScore Bet Ireland Review 2026 — Expert Verdict

LiveScore Bet is the sportsbook arm of the LiveScore brand, the live-scores service that started back in 1998 and grew into one of the most widely used sports-results apps in the world. The LiveScore Group demerged in 2019, and the sportsbook itself launched in 2020 — so while the LiveScore name is long-established, the betting product is comparatively new.

For Republic of Ireland customers, LiveScore Bet runs a dedicated euro site and is operated by LiveScore Betting and Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited. It holds a remote bookmaker's licence issued by the Revenue Commissioners (licence ref 1017720) — the authority responsible for licensing remote bookmakers in Ireland today. That licence confirms LiveScore Bet operates legally for Irish punters aged 18 and over and prices its markets in euro.

The key differentiator is integration. LiveScore Bet is tied tightly to the globally popular LiveScore app and data ecosystem — real-time scores, statistics and live streaming all feed a mobile-first in-play product. The pitch is simple: bet inside the same brand environment millions of punters already open to follow the scores, with the data and the betting living together rather than in separate apps.

The second strength is football itself, which is the brand's heritage. The EPL is covered with deep markets, an extensive bet builder for same-game multiples and competitive margins on the headline fixtures. It is a focused, mobile-first proposition rather than a do-everything book — strongest where football and live data meet.

Football is the busiest and strongest market. The Premier League is priced with depth — match result, an extensive bet builder, goalscorer and handicap markets — at competitive margins, and the in-play product is fast with live stats built in. League of Ireland is carried, though it is lighter than the EPL and the major-European leagues; the result and main markets are there rather than the full prop depth.

Rugby is well served without being a headline strength: the Six Nations is priced across handicap, totals and first-try markets, and the URC and Champions Cup carry roughly 40–50 pre-match markets each with fast in-play. GAA has dedicated euro pages for both Gaelic football and hurling — a credible option, if lighter than the Irish-native books. Horse racing rounds out the core with Irish and UK coverage, each-way betting and live streaming on UK and Irish races. Tennis and basketball are also covered, with selected live streaming.

The app and live ecosystem are where LiveScore Bet is built to shine. The native iOS app rates around 4.7 and the Android app around 3.9 with 100,000-plus installs; both offer clean in-play navigation with live stats and streaming built in, closely tied to the LiveScore live-scores ecosystem. This is, first and foremost, a mobile-first product.

The live-betting engine offers full in-play with fast live-odds updates, and live streaming covers UK and Irish horse racing plus selected football, tennis and basketball in-app. The real-time LiveScore data and scores feed is the core integration hook — the same feed that powers the scores app drives the in-play prices and stats, so following the game and betting the game happen in one place. For an EPL-led, mobile-first punter, that is the single best reason to open the account.

LiveScore Bet's apps for iOS and Android are the heart of the product rather than an afterthought. The iOS app rates around 4.7 and the Android app around 3.9 with more than 100,000 installs. Both carry clean in-play navigation, live stats and built-in streaming, with the full sportsbook, in-play, racing and account management available. Apple Pay is supported for quick funding. Because the betting product sits alongside the LiveScore scores ecosystem, the app feels familiar to anyone who already follows results on LiveScore — which is the brand's core advantage.

The minimum deposit is €10 and the minimum withdrawal is €10. Accepted methods include Visa and Mastercard debit cards, Apple Pay, Trustly and Revolut (via a linked debit card). The payment menu is narrower than some rivals — there is no broad e-wallet range, and PayPal availability has varied, so check the cashier rather than assuming it is offered. Credit-card deposits are not accepted, in line with the ban under the Gambling Regulation Act 2024.

Withdrawals are typically authorised within around 24 hours and return to the deposit method (closed-loop). PayPal payouts run around 24 hours, Revolut up to about two working days, and debit cards one to three working days. Identity verification is required before a first withdrawal — have photo ID ready when registering.

LiveScore Bet operates under its Revenue Commissioners remote bookmaker's licence and provides the standard responsible-gambling tools: deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion. Betting in Ireland is strictly 18+, and credit-card deposits are banned under the Gambling Regulation Act 2024.

For an Irish punter, LiveScore Bet is a strong mobile-first second account rather than a do-everything home book. It is at its best where football and live data meet — deep EPL markets, an extensive bet builder and competitive prices, delivered through well-rated apps with live stats and streaming built into the LiveScore ecosystem you may already use for scores. It is Revenue-licensed, runs a proper euro site, and the 'Bet €10 Get €50' welcome offer is generous. The honest caveats are a narrower payment menu, GAA, hurling and rugby depth that trails the Irish-native books, and a shorter local track record as a 2020 sportsbook. Excellent for EPL and in-play; the home books still lead on GAA and Irish racing.
