Livescorebet Review: Racing, BOG and the Irish Licence

This Livescorebet review lands on each-way. The brand trades as LiveScore Bet and is licensed in Ireland for betting through LiveScore Betting and Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited, holder of a GRAI remote betting licence valid from 30 July 2026 to 29 July 2029.

For racing punters the strongest confirmed point is best odds on eligible UK and Irish races, stated on its Irish App Store listing. Payments, withdrawal times and the welcome offer are still unconfirmed.

Is Livescorebet legit?

It is on the official GRAI register, which is the test that counts. The register, downloaded on 29 October 2026, lists LiveScore Betting and Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited with a Remote Betting licence under the trading name LiveScore Bet. Our file holds the reference as GRAI remote betting licence GRAI-0724-RB-26-0001 (LiveScore Betting and Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited), valid 2026-07-30 to 2029-07-29.

The firm was already on the Revenue register of remote bookmakers, trading as LIVESCORE BET, before the switch to the new regulator. It was among the earlier GRAI licences, granted at the end of July. What the register cannot tell you is how the product treats customers day to day; that is what the rest of this page is for. Our licensing explainer covers the regime in full.

The company and its sister brand

The Irish licence holder is LiveScore Betting and Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited. The App Store listing names LiveScore Ltd as seller, which ties the betting app to the scores app many punters already have on their phones.

The group's other bookmaker, Virgin Bet, does not accept Irish residents: its help centre says customers must be physically in the UK. That answers most searches for LiveScore Bet sister sites. In Ireland, LiveScore Bet is the group's betting brand, and we found no other trading name under its Irish licence.

Racing at LiveScore Bet

The Irish App Store listing covers UK and Irish racing and states that best odds apply on eligible UK and Irish races. Best odds guaranteed (BOG) is not a bonus but a settlement rule: if you take a price and the starting price is bigger, a winning bet is paid at the starting price.

A worked example shows why it matters. Take 4/1 about a horse with a EUR 10 stake in the morning. If it drifts and wins at an SP of 6/1, a BOG bet returns EUR 70 (EUR 60 profit plus the stake) rather than EUR 50. If it shortens to 3/1, you keep your 4/1. Which races count as eligible, the time window and any cap on the extra payout are set in the operator's terms, which we could not read, so check them before relying on the concession. Our BOG bookmakers page compares the terms across the market.

Each-way terms are the other half of a racing account. Standard terms in a non-handicap of eight or more runners pay a fifth of the odds for three places; a handicap of 16 or more usually pays a quarter for four. Bookmakers set their own, and extra places on big handicaps are a promotion, not a rule. We could not confirm LiveScore Bet's standard or enhanced place terms, so read the bet slip before you commit an each-way stake. Our each-way guide has the full table.

Football, GAA and the scores connection

Sports betting is confirmed, and the LiveScore link means the app sits naturally beside live scores. We could not confirm how deep the markets go on Gaelic games or Irish rugby, or whether cash out and bet builders are offered on them. The racing desk and our tips pages are a better place to start than any in-app suggestion; a bookmaker's featured bets are marketing, not analysis.

LiveScore Bet casino

The app is titled Sports and Casino, and a casino is part of the product. It is not covered by the Irish licence: no online casino holds one, and the GRAI expects to start gaming licensing in early 2027. Until then the casino runs under the operator's licences elsewhere, which we could not name with confidence. Free spins and casino bonuses quoted around the web are unconfirmed for Ireland. For an Irish player that means the casino side has no Irish regulator behind it, unlike the sportsbook.

LiveScore Bet offers and codes

Our offer field reads: . The promo code field reads: . Blank means nothing confirmed on 29 October 2026; we found no official source for a no deposit bonus either. Read the qualifying odds, the expiry and whether a free bet stake is returned before you sign up. The bonuses guide walks through the usual traps.

Deposits and Livescorebet withdrawals

Third-party reviews mention cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Revolut, but no official source confirmed the list, so we do not print it as fact. Minimum deposit on file: . Withdrawal time on file: .

Any card has to be a debit card, since the 2024 Act bars credit for gambling. A first withdrawal will normally wait on identity and age checks.

The LiveScore Bet app

The iPhone app is listed on the Irish App Store as LiveScore Bet: Sports and Casino; the link on file is . An Android listing could not be confirmed: . If the Android field is empty, search Google Play from an Irish account and check that the seller name matches before installing, and skip any installation file offered on a third-party site.

If something goes wrong

Start with the operator's own complaints process and keep screenshots of the bet slip, the terms in force and any messages. Because the sportsbook sits under a GRAI licence, the Authority has complaints and investigative powers over it, with fines of up to EUR 20 million or 10% of turnover for serious breaches. A casino complaint is a different matter: with no Irish gaming licence in place, it would go to whichever foreign regulator licenses that side of the business. That split is the main reason we treat the two products separately.

Spending limits and help

We could not confirm the full tool list. The legal floor is the same at every licensee: a customer can cap what goes in, and that cap is best set before the first bet. Until the national exclusion register opens, self-exclusion has to be arranged with LiveScore Bet directly. Accounts are 18+ only. For help in Ireland, see our responsible gambling page.

Livescorebet review: our verdict

Each-way. A clean GRAI licence, a confirmed best odds concession on eligible UK and Irish racing and an established app make LiveScore Bet worth an account for a racing punter. The casino sits outside Irish regulation, and the cashier, payout times and offers are still to be confirmed from official sources. Read the BOG terms first, set a limit second.
