Livescore Bet

Livescore Bet Ireland Review (2023)

LiveScore Bet is a classic example of a disrupter in the world of online sports betting.

A spin-off from the hugely popular LiveScore website, the sportsbook combined access to a wide range of sports streaming with a deep array of different sports and markets to bet on.

LiveScore Bet Ireland is relatively new but quickly made a splash in a highly competitive field. The site, which comes in a striking orange and black colour scheme, is very easy to use.

Irish sports fans mulling over signing up for an account at LiveScore Bet will probably want to know more about the site's security standards and whether or not its odds are good value. 

Introduction to LivescoreBet

Although LiveScore has been around for quite a while, the sports betting operation has only been running for a couple of years. LiveScore Bet Ireland is even newer, but it has a lot of fans.

LiveScore Bet is a part of LiveScore Group, which runs LiveScore and sister site Virgin Bet. LiveScore Group now sits within the Anzo Group of companies having been demerged from the Gamesys Group of companies a couple of years ago. LiveScore Group has gone from strength to strength since that happened, with the launch of LiveScore Bet deemed a major success.

According to the company's mission statement, LiveScore Bet "seeks to deliver a best-in-class product" and the site says it "represents a new opportunity for customers to bet responsibly". While these are the kind of things many other sports betting sites say about themselves, it does at least seem as if LiveScore Bet has made a strong commitment to hitting those top targets.

The company LiveScore Betting & Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited is licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the (Gambling Commission licence number 56859) as well as being licensed by the Revenue Commissioners under licence number 1017720 for sportsbook customers in Ireland, which ensures that it is 100% safe and secure to use for people all over the country.

One of the biggest shifts for the LiveScore brand in recent years has been the move into live sports streaming. LiveScore app users who are based in the Republic of Ireland are able to access live football streams from top leagues and cup competitions from all over the planet. LiveScore now even has a blockbuster deal to exclusively stream the Champions League too. LiveScore, which is an official global partner of La Liga, has been streaming Serie A games in Ireland for a couple of years, while various Portuguese domestic fixtures are available as well.

While LiveScore Bet Ireland does also have casino games available to play, this is not the primary focus of the site. The sportsbook is the key, so let's take a look at it in more detail. 

LiveScore Bet Ireland Sportsbook Review 

LiveScore Bet Ireland may not be as established as the likes of Paddy Power and Boylesports, but this online sports betting site and mobile betting apps for iOS and Android is becoming a key player.

Users who join LiveScore Bet Ireland for the first time get a solid enough welcome bonus and various other free bets are available to claim on a regular basis while racing fans will be chuffed to see LiveScore Bet Ireland has the best odds guaranteed as well. LiveScore Bet Ireland also has the same Squads game that can be played on the betting brand's sister site Virgin Bet. In the LiveScore Bet Squads game, users are given the chance to reveal up to five players, with cash then given out by the site for each goal that is scored by the picked players in the listed games.

In terms of the sportsbook itself, football is listed as the top sport to bet on at LiveScore Bet Ireland, but local customers will be thrilled to see such a prominent position given to the likes of Gaelic football and hurling. While it is common for global sports betting sites to launch in Ireland without considering which local sporting competitions and events local users will want to bet on, this is certainly not the case at LiveScore Bet Ireland, which gets a big tick in the box as a result.

Football betting fans will spot price boosts for most big games in competitions like the Premier League, while LiveScore Bet Ireland has a nifty bet builder tool that allows flexible combo wagers to be created too. There is no shortage of markets to pick from and the odds at LiveScore Bet Ireland for football, in particular, are good if not quite the very best on offer at an Irish sports betting site.

Minor sports are available to bet on at LiveScore Bet Ireland too, with fans of everything from bandy and curling to futsal and table tennis able to find plenty of markets to pique their interest. Special markets for everything from Dancing on Ice and Eurovision to the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year award can be found at LiveScore Bet Ireland as well. Irish people who are interested in betting on politics will find the option to bet on a range of elections as well.

Many people like to have a bet on virtual sports these days, with LiveScore Bet Ireland offering this option too. The virtual sports available at LiveScore Bet Ireland include football, horse racing and greyhounds, with a new live virtual event starting around every minute or so. With betting on esports starting to get a lot more popular these days, LiveScore Bet Ireland has made sure to offer markets on everything from CS:GO and Call of Duty events to competitions in Dota 2, Warcraft, League of Legends, Warcraft, Valorant and more. The esports betting offering is excellent here, with a comprehensive selection of esports and different markets to pick from.

As mentioned earlier, LiveScore now has Champions League streaming rights in Ireland, while LiveScore Bet Ireland itself also has a variety of streams for account holders to view too. Users can expect to get the chance to use the LiveScore Bet Ireland streaming service which covers all horse racing meetings in the UK and in Ireland, as well as the US, France and South Africa.

LiveScore Bet Ireland Mobile Betting App Review

Many sports fans in Ireland now prefer to bet on a mobile device like a tablet or a smartphone, with LiveScore Bet Ireland backing up a solid mobile site with its own iOS and Android apps. As is the case with other betting brands in Ireland, Android users will have to get the app from the LiveScore Bet Ireland site, but people on Apple devices can grab it straight from the App Store.

LiveScore Bet Ireland has clearly put a lot of work into its mobile-optimised site, which is rapid to load. This is particularly important when betting live in-play, as a site that is slow can be the difference between a user being able to place the bet they want and missing out on doing so. The free to play game LiveScore Bet Squads can be found on both apps, or the mobile site, too. Live football, tennis, horse racing and various other sports can be streamed on the LiveScore Bet Ireland mobile betting app for iOS and Android too, which is extremely good news indeed.

Apple users have left rave reviews for the LiveScore Bet Ireland iOS app, which has an average rating of 4.7 stars out of five from the over 1,200 people who have rated it on the App Store.

Other ways to get in touch include sending an email to support_ie@livescorebet.com, while alternative Irish people can also call LiveScore Bet Ireland customer support on 1800 851 700.

LiveScore Bet Ireland Payment Methods

It is fair to say that LiveScore Bet Ireland payment methods are more limited than a lot of the biggest and best online sports betting sites in the country. Right now, only debit cards and PayPal are on the list of approved payment methods that can be used at LiveScore Bet, although the site does stress that other banking options could be added in the future too.

LiveScore Bet Ireland pledges that it will never charge a fee for a withdrawal, which will be welcomed by Irish sports fans who have been burned by not receiving all their winnings from a rival operator in the past. The maximum withdrawal that can be made in one go is €20,000. The same limit is in place for deposits, but users can add just a €5 minimum deposit if they opt to use a debit card.

A minimum withdrawal of €10 is in place for all of the LiveScore Bet Ireland payment methods. LiveScore Bet Ireland says the site will aim to process all withdrawals within a 24-hour period, but it warns it could take around two or three days for a debit card payment to be completed.
