Founded in Ireland by John Boyle in 1982, Boylesports’ company mission statement was to create a “modern sports betting service with unrivalled customer facilities”. And things progressed well, with Boylesports amassing 100 betting shops by August 2006. Today, over 1200 people work at Boylesports’ 182 retail branches in Ireland.

Boylesports also bought out Celtic Bookmakers in February 2011 which was followed by 15 taking over William Hill shops later that year. But it’s online where Boylesports is now also focusing, with a portfolio that now includes sports, poker, casino, games, lotto and bingo. So they are not resting on their laurels.

Once you have opened up the Boylesports mobile app you’ll see that it adapts to your screen shape. And moving around the app is simple. The main bottom menu is a good place to begin your exploration of what is on offer from the Boylesports mobile app. Tap on ‘Featured’ and you’ll be presented with Daily Specials and upcoming major events. Under these sub-menus you can find the odds on offer at the current time. The Daily Specials are quite good too and you will see these under titles such as Happy Mondays, Chooseday and Cash Wednesday. No prizes for guessing that these are daily specials for those days that usually show a series of bankers/accumulators that yield some pretty favourable enhanced odds. For example, team A, B and C all to win yields a 10/1 return (with those teams generally expected to win). It’s worth checking what the Boylesports mobile app’s Daily Specials are on a regular basis.

Because Boylesports originally hails from the Emerald Isle, you will find a decent selection of markets that some other bookies have less of a focus on. This includes events such as the Irish Grand National, GAA football and GAA hurling.

A full list of sports that can be accessed directly from the Boylesports mobile app follows and you can access this list directly from the ‘A-Z’ icon located in the top left hand corner: American football, Australian Rules (AFL only), Baseball, Basketball, Boxing, Cricket, Cycling, Darts, Football, GAA football, GAA hurling, Golf, Greyhounds, Handball, Horse racing, Ice hockey, Motorsport, Novelty/TV, Pool, Rowing, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Speedway, Snooker, Tennis and UFC/MMA. There is also a link to Specials on the A-Z list which can include mixed sport doubles. Many of these less mainstream sports markets are sometimes a bit limited in the number of markets that they offer.  Football, though, is well covered.

The main Boylesports web site is available in German and Swedish languages in addition to English.

We like the collapsible menus on the Boylesports mobile app which makes things easy to use in general. This complements the overall design which we feel has been really well done.
