BoyleSports is one of Ireland's most famous bookmakers. It comes as no surprise given the amount of promotions and special offers they release, as well as their substantial welcome bonus. Another important factor for Boylesports success is that not only you can bet online, but also by phone, smartphone or by going to any of their more than 210 shops all over the country.

Upsides and downsides

Review

BoyleSports origins take us back to the year 1982 when its founder, John Boyle, opened his first shop in Newry, Northern Ireland. Well received by the public, it quickly expanded over the years until it became one of the country’s most popular bookmakers.

But it was in the year 2011 when the company really took off thanks to the purchase of several of Celtic Bookmakers and William Hill shops. This is one of the factors for their success as today there are more than 210 shops all over the country.

Another good thing about Boylesports is that they take their customer service very seriously. This is glaringly obvious when you talk to any member of the staff. All employees have been trained in the most professional ways and are qualified to solve any problem you may have, no matter if you are a new comer or a veteran gambler.

Boylesports are also committed sponsors. They were the sponsors for British teams Sunderland (2007) and Aston Villa (2008 – 2009) and now they are in charge of the sponsorship of horse racing and greyhounds.

Licence Information

BoyleSports is licensed under the Gambling Commission (UK) (Licence No 000-039469-R-319383-001) and the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner (Other countries) (RGL 083 & 084).

BoyleSports Bonus

Boylesports new customers can benefit from a special welcome bonus up to £25 in free bets. To claim it, you just need to register on the web, make a deposit and place a £10 simple or combined bet. You can check the applying T&Cs by clicking on 'Promotions' and then 'Services'.

Odds

Another reason for Boylesports quick growth is their odds. You can find some great odds for certain sports like tennis, horse racing, greyhounds and most American sports. However, most popular sports like football have average, or even below average odds.

Customer Service

BoyleSports features an excellent customer support service. Whatever doubt you may have, you can find the answer by simply clicking on their 'Help centre' link. All the different sections are organized by categories so you find what you are looking for in a matter of seconds. Those categories include: Sportsbetting rules, free bets and promotions, account management, customer security, responsible gaming...

However, if you couldn't find the answer you were looking for, you can always contact Boylesports customer service. There are many ways to get in touch with them; for example we have support tickets, (you need to be logged in), live chat, e-mail (care@boylesports.com) and telephone 1800 22 00 66 (Ireland), 0800 22 00 66 (UK) and +353 42 939 3168 (rest of the world).

Interface and usability

Boylesports features an easy and pleasant environment. We couldn't find any downsides to it.

There is a quick links section you can use to access almost all features in a matter of seconds.

As usual, the site wears the brand colours; blue, white and red.

The site is designed in sort of a classic but effective manner. First, we are greeted by a top header which features all of the different available services. (Sports, Casino, Bingo, Lotto...).

On the left sidebar we can find the promotions link, the live betting section and a list of all the featured sports. The main layout is divided into two categories: Upcoming and live events.

Last, on the right sidebar you can find your bet slip, a list of upcoming hot events and a news section.

Sports catalogue

Boylesports features more than 30 different sports. We wouldn't expect less from such an important bookmaker.

Horse racing and greyhounds take most of the attention, followed by football, basket and tennis.

Other popular sports are American and Australian football, baseball, boxing, athletics, motor sports (F1, Moto GP, Moto 2, Moto 3 and Nascar), golf, handball, rugby, ice hockey, volleyball, futsal, winter sports, badminton, darts, snooker, table tennis and so on...

As a plus, there are also some non-sports related events you can bet on such as politics or TV shows.

In-Play betting

Boylesports features an In-play section where you can place your bets as the game unfolds. Odds are constantly changing in this modality but are quickly updated so you always get the best ones.

The In-play section is located at the top, and also on the menu. Here you will find a list including all the available events for In-Play betting. If you click on any of them you will see all the different available markets for the selected event.

However, there are some things that need to be improved; we are missing a stats section, or a live streaming option. They do feature a scoreboards section but that’s it...
