Best Betting Sites in Ireland — PayPal + Fast Payout
Three bookmakers in this list both accept PayPal deposits and publish a same-day withdrawal window (0–24h): Paddy Power, Betfair and Hollywoodbets. All three carry a Fast Payout tag in their feature set, so if you want your winnings back to a PayPal balance without a multi-day wait, these are the operators that match the exact intent. Below we separate the three on withdrawal scores, PayPal availability and the sports you'll actually bet on in Ireland.
Price leadership belongs to Betfair, topping this list with a 52% best-price share and the lowest average margin at 4.6% across 225 markets. An 8.9 odds rating and 8.7 live capability reinforce the point, alongside fast payout, live streaming and a 9.2 safety score. Debit Card and PayPal handle €10 deposits, with withdrawals inside 0–24h. Choose Betfair if you consistently want the strongest odds on the market.
Fast payout is the calling card at Hollywoodbets, backed by an 8.8 payments score that matches the strongest here. The offering is leaner — live betting and mobile betting via Debit Card or PayPal — with a GRAI licence rated 8.6 and €10 minimum deposits cleared inside 0–24h. Choose Hollywoodbets if quick, no-frills cash-outs matter more to you than deep market coverage or a bet builder.
Feature range sets Paddy Power apart, bundling live streaming, cash-out, bet builder and fast payout with an 8.8-rated app and full Apple Pay plus Revolut Pay support. A 9.2 safety rating sits above most rivals, best-price share reaches 11.9% across 201 markets, and withdrawals land within 0–24h from a €10 deposit. Choose Paddy Power if you want a well-rounded Irish operator with plenty of tools and payment flexibility.
Why PayPal + Fast Payout is a different ranking
3 licensed Ireland operators match PayPal + Fast Payout. The parent page ranks the whole market; this one only keeps books that clear both filters.
PayPal deposit is the entry ticket; the payout question is whether winnings can come back the same way. Published withdrawal windows among these 3 books: 0–24h. That is the PayPal × cash-out intersection — it does not appear on the sport-only page.
On sampled core prices, Betfair holds the best available line 76% of the time. Average margin across this PayPal + Fast Payout cut is 5.0% — a different number from the unfiltered country ranking.
| Operator | PayPal | Sport coverage | Live betting | Withdrawal time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Betfair | ✓ | 8.8 | 8.7 | 0–24h |
| Hollywoodbets | ✓ | 7.6 | 7.5 | 0–24h |
| Paddy Power | ✓ | 8.3 | 8.2 | 0–24h |
PayPal + fast payout: who does both
PayPal is listed as a payment method for all three operators here, and each one publishes a 0–24h withdrawal window. That's the combination this page is about — it's not enough for a bookmaker to take PayPal if the cash-out is slow, and a fast tag means little if you can't route the money through PayPal.
- Paddy Power — PayPal supported, withdrawals rated 8.6, 0–24h window
- Betfair — PayPal supported, withdrawals rated 8.5, 0–24h window
- Hollywoodbets — PayPal supported, withdrawals rated 8.2, 0–24h window
On the withdrawals rating specifically, Paddy Power (8.6) edges Betfair (8.5) and Hollywoodbets (8.2). All three share the same published 0–24h band, so the score reflects the overall consistency of the payout experience rather than a different quoted time. Paddy Power also carries the widest payment mix of the three, adding Apple Pay and Revolut Pay alongside Debit Card and PayPal — useful if you keep PayPal for withdrawals but want a faster top-up option.
How they differ from the full PayPal ranking
If you drop the fast-payout filter and just look at PayPal betting sites, the pool is larger. Adding the same-day payout requirement narrows it to these three, and it changes the odds picture.
On sampled pricing, Betfair returns the sharpest numbers: an average margin of about 4.3% across 213 sampled markets and a best-price share of roughly 53%. Paddy Power sampled higher on margin at about 6.9% across 195 markets with a best-price share near 12%. Hollywoodbets has no sampled odds metrics in our data, so we don't quote a margin figure for it.
The takeaway: if PayPal and a fast payout are your two must-haves, Betfair is the strongest of the trio on price. Paddy Power trades some of that pricing edge for the broadest payment options and the highest app rating (8.8).
Sport coverage — football, racing, GAA and more
All three cover the sports Irish bettors follow most: Premier League and Champions League football, Horse Racing, GAA, Rugby, Tennis and Golf. Where they separate is depth and live product.
- Paddy Power — sports depth 8.4, live capability 8.2, and a feature set that includes Bet Builder, Cash Out and Live Streaming plus the Fast Payout tag.
- Betfair — the deepest odds rating (8.9) and strong market coverage (8.8), with Cash Out and Live Streaming; live capability rated 8.7.
- Hollywoodbets — sports depth 7.9 and live capability 7.5, with Live Betting and Mobile Betting; its listed features do not include Live Streaming or Cash Out.
For in-play GAA or a Premier League Bet Builder plus PayPal and a same-day payout, Paddy Power is the natural fit. For sharper football and racing prices on the same payment-and-payout combination, Betfair leads.
App and platform notes
There's one practical split on devices. Paddy Power and Betfair both offer iOS and Android apps. Hollywoodbets is listed with an Android app but no iOS app, so iPhone users wanting the PayPal + fast-payout combination are effectively choosing between Paddy Power and Betfair.
App ratings: Paddy Power 8.8, Betfair 8.4, Hollywoodbets 8.0. All three list Mobile Betting, and the 0–24h withdrawal window applies through the app as well as the desktop site.
Which one to choose
Choose Betfair if pricing matters most on top of PayPal and a fast payout — it has the best sampled margin (~4.3%) and best-price share (~53%) of the three, plus iOS and Android apps.
Choose Paddy Power if you want the broadest payment options (PayPal, Apple Pay, Revolut Pay, Debit Card), the top withdrawals score (8.6) and features like Bet Builder and Live Streaming on the highest-rated app.
Choose Hollywoodbets if you're on Android and want a simple PayPal option with a strong payments rating (8.8) and the same 0–24h window, but be aware its listed features don't include Cash Out, Live Streaming or an iOS app.
Licence note: Paddy Power is shown as GRAI-regulated in our data. Betfair and Hollywoodbets are listed as licensed with no specific regulator field, so confirm the current licence details on each operator's own site before depositing. All betting in Ireland is 18+.
How we rank
Every operator on this page went through the same checklist before it could be listed for Ireland: we verify the licence against the regulator's public register, document the payment methods, minimum deposits and published withdrawal windows, review the apps and measure everyday odds against our live feed. Safety and payout reliability carry the heaviest weight in the final score, followed by payment coverage, app quality and pricing. If a site fails licence verification, it isn't ranked lower — it's excluded. This page re-weights the same checklist for PayPal · Fast Payout: operators that miss the payment method or the sport coverage drop out, and the remaining scores emphasise the intersection — not a copy of the parent ranking.
FAQ
Which PayPal bookmaker in this list has the fastest published payout?
All three — Paddy Power, Betfair and Hollywoodbets — publish the same 0–24h withdrawal window. On the withdrawals rating that reflects overall consistency, Paddy Power scores highest at 8.6, ahead of Betfair (8.5) and Hollywoodbets (8.2).
Can I withdraw to PayPal on all three?
PayPal is listed as a payment method for all three operators. Bookmakers typically require withdrawals to return via the same method used to deposit, so if you fund with PayPal you should be able to withdraw to PayPal. Confirm this on the operator's cashier before your first deposit.
Which is best for iPhone users wanting PayPal and a fast payout?
Paddy Power and Betfair, as both offer iOS and Android apps. Hollywoodbets is listed with an Android app only, so iPhone users would use its mobile site instead.
Does the fast-payout filter change which bookmaker offers the best odds?
Yes. Once you require PayPal plus a 0–24h payout, Betfair stands out on price with a sampled average margin near 4.3% and a best-price share around 53% across 213 markets, compared with roughly 6.9% margin for Paddy Power. Hollywoodbets has no sampled odds data in our figures.
Do these bookmakers cover GAA and Irish racing with PayPal?
All three cover Horse Racing and GAA alongside Premier League and Champions League football, Rugby, Tennis and Golf. For in-play GAA with Cash Out and Live Streaming on the PayPal + fast-payout combination, Paddy Power carries those features; Hollywoodbets does not list Live Streaming or Cash Out.
