LiveScore Bet Review Ireland

The numbers first: odds and margin

Across a sample of 193 markets, LiveScore Bet held the best available price 8.8% of the time. In practical terms, if you consistently shopped LiveScore Bet against the wider Irish market, you'd find it topping the price on fewer than one in ten selections. That is a benchmark of price competitiveness rather than a verdict on any single event — some football and racing markets will beat that share, others fall below it.

The average margin (overround) on the sampled markets was 8.48%. Margin is the bookmaker's built-in edge: the lower the figure, the closer the odds sit to true probability and the more the bettor retains long-term. An 8.48% average is middle-of-the-road for the Irish market. Sharper books trim margins toward the 5–7% range on headline football lines, so value hunters using LiveScore Bet should treat it as a coverage-and-usability book first and a price book second.

The odds rating of 7.3 reflects exactly this: functional pricing, occasional best-price appearances, but not a line you'd anchor a value strategy on without cross-checking. Compare live prices on our betting odds Ireland pages before committing a stake.

Is LiveScore Bet legal in Ireland?

LiveScore Bet is licensed and operates legally for punters in Ireland. Gambling in Ireland is moving under the oversight of the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI), the statutory regulator established to license and supervise operators serving the Irish market. The minimum legal betting age in Ireland is 18.

LiveScore Bet's licence-safety rating of 8.7 is its strongest single metric. That score reflects regulatory standing and operational compliance rather than any promotional factor. For punters, the practical takeaway is that account funds, dispute handling and responsible-gambling tools sit within a regulated framework. See our legal betting sites Ireland overview for how this compares across the market.

Payments: PayPal and debit card

LiveScore Bet's confirmed payment methods in Ireland are debit card and PayPal, with a minimum deposit of €10.

• Debit Card — standard Visa/Mastercard debit deposits, the default funding route for most Irish accounts.
• PayPal — e-wallet funding and withdrawals, useful for keeping betting balances separate from a main current account and generally quicker on the payout side.

The payments rating is 7.9. That is solid but narrower than operators supporting Apple Pay, Revolut Pay or direct bank transfer. If e-wallet flexibility matters to you, note that only PayPal is confirmed here — punters who prefer Revolut Pay or Apple Pay should check the dedicated PayPal betting sites and Apple Pay betting sites listings to weigh alternatives.

We list only the methods confirmed for LiveScore Bet. Any method not named above should not be assumed available.

LiveScore Bet withdrawal times

Stated withdrawal processing runs from 0 to 24 hours. PayPal cashouts typically clear at the faster end of that window, while debit card payouts can take longer to appear depending on your bank's settlement.

The withdrawal rating is 7.9, matching the payments score. The 0–24h range is competitive against the Irish field, though not the instant-settlement territory occupied by the very fastest e-wallet books. For punters who prioritise payout speed above all, browse Fast Payout betting sites to benchmark LiveScore Bet's window against faster operators.

No withdrawal fees are listed in the supplied data, so none are stated here. Verification (KYC) requirements apply as standard under Irish regulation and can affect the timing of a first withdrawal.

LiveScore Bet app

LiveScore Bet offers native apps for both iOS and Android. The app rating of 8.5 is the second-highest metric in the operator's profile, behind only licence safety — a meaningful signal given how much Irish betting volume now runs through mobile.

The brand's roots are in the LiveScore live-score product, so the betting app is built around real-time match data. That heritage aligns with the live-capability rating of 7.8 and supports in-play betting, live streaming and cash out from the same interface. For punters who bet in-running on football or tennis, having scores, stats and markets in one app reduces the lag between watching the game and taking a price.

Features: live betting, cash out, bet builder and streaming

LiveScore Bet's confirmed feature set covers the core tools Irish punters expect:

• Live Betting — in-play markets, supported by the 7.8 live-capability score.
• Cash Out — settle bets early to lock in a return or limit a loss.
• Bet Builder — combine multiple selections within a single match; the bet-builder rating is 7.4.
• Live Streaming — watch selected events directly, tied into the live-data product.

The overall features rating is 7.8. Combined with the app score, this positions LiveScore Bet as a strong in-play and mobile operator rather than a pure price play. If bet builder is central to how you stake, our Bet Builder listing shows which books rate highest on that feature; for streaming, the Live Streaming page compares availability across the market.

Sports and competitions covered

LiveScore Bet carries a market-coverage rating of 7.5 and a sports-depth rating of 7.7. Confirmed sports for Irish punters include football, horse racing, GAA, rugby, tennis and golf — the full spread that matters domestically, including Gaelic games and Irish racing.

Football coverage spans the Premier League, Serie A, Ligue 1, Champions League, Europa League, Copa Libertadores and the World Cup. Tennis extends to the ATP Tour and WTA Tour. The presence of GAA is notable: not every operator prices Gaelic games with depth, so LiveScore Bet's inclusion is relevant for punters focused on hurling and football championships.

How LiveScore Bet ranks — and who it suits

Reading the ratings together produces a clear profile. LiveScore Bet scores highest on licence safety (8.7) and app (8.5), followed by payments and withdrawals (both 7.9), live capability (7.8), features (7.8) and sports depth (7.7). Its weakest metric is odds (7.3), consistent with the 8.48% average margin and 8.8% best-price share from the 193-market sample.

Editorial read: LiveScore Bet is best suited to mobile-first, in-play punters who value a fast, data-rich app and regulated safety over squeezing the last cent from every price. Line-shoppers chasing the lowest overround will still want to cross-reference sharper books before staking — the pricing here is functional, not market-leading.
