LiveScore Bet Review Ireland

Is LiveScore Bet legal in Ireland?

LiveScore Bet is listed as a licensed operator, and it scores 8.7/10 for licence safety in our ratings — the highest of any single category for this brand. That safety score is what carries the operator in our assessment, and it reflects a bookmaker set up to operate compliantly rather than a grey-market site.

Gambling in Ireland is moving under the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI), the new statutory regulator overseeing licensing and consumer protection. The minimum legal age to bet is 18. We do not hold a specific licence number for LiveScore Bet in our data, so we're not going to quote one — but the licensed status and the high safety score are both drawn directly from our operator record.

Practical takeaway: for the safety-first punter who wants a regulated operator and clear consumer protections, LiveScore Bet's licence-safety score is a genuine strength. If you want to sanity-check any operator's standing yourself, our guide to legal betting sites in Ireland explains what to look for.

Payment methods: PayPal and debit card

LiveScore Bet supports two payment methods in our data: debit card and PayPal. The minimum deposit is €10. Payments score 7.9/10, which is solid without being class-leading.

• Debit Card — the standard route for most Irish punters, straightforward for deposits and withdrawals.
• PayPal — useful if you prefer to keep your card details off the betting site and like the extra layer between your bank and your bookmaker.

What this means in practice: the PayPal option is the differentiator here. If you specifically want an e-wallet workflow, LiveScore Bet covers that. If your day-to-day is Apple Pay, Revolut Pay or bank transfer, note that those are not listed among LiveScore Bet's supported methods in our data — so this may not be the operator for you if a particular wallet is a dealbreaker.

You can cross-check operators by method on our PayPal betting sites and Visa betting sites pages.

LiveScore Bet withdrawals: how fast is payout?

Withdrawals are quoted at 0–24 hours, and the withdrawals category scores 7.9/10. The 0–24h window means some cash-outs to your account can land quickly, while others sit within the same-day-to-next-day range depending on the method and any verification checks.

A realistic reading of that range:

• PayPal withdrawals tend to be the quicker end of an e-wallet-style payout because funds return to the wallet rather than waiting on card-scheme processing.
• Debit card withdrawals can take longer to appear on your statement even after the bookmaker has approved them, which is normal across the industry.

We have not tested a withdrawal ourselves, so treat the 0–24h figure as the operator's stated processing window rather than a guaranteed clearing time to your bank. First withdrawals usually require identity verification, which is standard for a licensed operator and part of why the licence-safety score is high. If fast payout is your top priority, compare the field on our fast payout betting sites page.

The LiveScore Bet app for iOS and Android

The app is the standout. LiveScore Bet scores 8.5/10 for its mobile app, and it's available on both iOS and Android.

The context here matters more than the number. LiveScore itself is one of the most widely used live-scores products, and the betting app is built around that same real-time scores DNA. For a punter who already checks LiveScore for Premier League, Champions League or League of Ireland results, having live markets, Cash Out and Live Streaming inside a scores-first interface is a coherent package rather than a bolt-on.

Who the app suits:

• In-play bettors who want scores, stats and live markets in one place — the live capability score is 7.8/10.
• Mobile-first punters who rarely open a desktop site.

Who might want more: if you rely on deep bet-slip tooling, extensive stats overlays or a very wide market menu on mobile, weigh the app against alternatives on our betting apps Ireland roundup. The app score is strong, but it's built on speed and clarity rather than exhaustive depth.

Odds and margins: what the sample shows

This is where you set expectations. LiveScore Bet scores 7.3/10 for odds — the lowest category in its profile. Our odds sample of 191 markets found:

• Best-price share of roughly 9.4% — meaning LiveScore Bet held the top price on fewer than one in ten sampled selections.
• Average margin of about 8.5%, which is on the higher side and points to less generous pricing on average.

Plain reading: LiveScore Bet is not a value-hunter's first pick on raw price. If you're the type of punter who lines up three or four bookmakers and takes the best available odds on each leg, you'll frequently find a better price elsewhere in the market.

That said, market coverage (7.5/10) and sports depth (7.7/10) are respectable, so you're not short of things to bet on — the trade-off is price, not choice. Use our betting odds Ireland tools to compare a specific market before you place a bet, and check market movers if you're tracking price drift ahead of kick-off.

Features: Cash Out, Bet Builder and Live Streaming

LiveScore Bet's feature set is well-rounded, scoring 7.8/10 overall for features and 7.4/10 specifically for Bet Builder. The listed features are:

• Live Betting — bet in-play across football and other sports, backed by the 7.8/10 live capability score.
• Cash Out — settle a bet early to lock in a return or cut a loss.
• Bet Builder — combine multiple selections from the same match into one price (shots, cards, goalscorers and result markets).
• Live Streaming — watch selected events inside the app while you bet.

The combination of Live Streaming and Live Betting is the practical highlight: if you want to stream an event and place in-play bets from the same screen, LiveScore Bet is set up for that. Bet Builder gives you the single-match combination bets that are now a staple of football betting.

Sports and competitions covered

LiveScore Bet covers the sports that matter to an Irish audience, with sports depth rated 7.7/10:

• Football — the core offering, with the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, Serie A, Ligue 1, Copa Libertadores and the World Cup among listed competitions.
• Horse Racing — a staple for Irish punters.
• GAA — Gaelic games markets, which not every international operator prioritises.
• Rugby — relevant through the Six Nations and provincial calendar.
• Tennis — ATP Tour and WTA Tour markets.
• Golf — outright and tournament betting.

The GAA and horse racing coverage is worth flagging: those are the sports where Irish punters most often find international operators thin, so their inclusion strengthens LiveScore Bet's case for a local audience. Football is clearly the deepest vertical given the competition list.

How to sign up with LiveScore Bet

The sign-up process for a licensed Irish bookmaker follows a standard pattern. Based on the operator's payment and verification setup, expect to:

• Register with your name, date of birth and contact details — you must be 18 or over.
• Complete identity verification (KYC), which a licensed operator will require, usually before your first withdrawal.
• Add a payment method — debit card or PayPal — and make a deposit from €10.

We don't hold details of any specific welcome offer for LiveScore Bet, so we're not going to quote a bonus or promo code. Always read the current terms directly on the operator's own registration page, and set deposit or time limits at sign-up if you want them in place from day one. Support for the account is rated 7.5/10.

Verdict: who should choose LiveScore Bet?

LiveScore Bet is a licensed, app-led bookmaker that's strongest for mobile in-play betting and safety, and weakest on raw odds value.

Choose LiveScore Bet if:

• You already use the LiveScore app and want betting in the same live-scores environment.
• You want a licensed operator with a high safety score (8.7/10) and a clean mobile experience (8.5/10).
• You value PayPal as a payment option and same-day-to-next-day withdrawal processing.
• You bet on football, horse racing, GAA or rugby and want Cash Out, Bet Builder and Live Streaming in one place.

Look elsewhere if:

• You line-shop for the best price on every selection — the 7.3/10 odds score, ~8.5% average margin and ~9.4% best-price share mean value isn't the strong suit.
• You need Apple Pay, Revolut Pay or bank transfer specifically, which are not listed among its methods in our data.

Overall, it's a sound pick for the scores-first, mobile-first Irish punter who prioritises safety and convenience over squeezing every last point of value. To see how it stacks up against the field, use our comparisons and best betting sites Ireland pages.
