> AppScore v1 results table for candidate betting apps in Ireland: six published criteria, weights of 100 points, and exclusions. First snapshot: not scored yet.

Updated: 2026-11-07

On 7 November 2026 no betting app has an AppScore v1 result. A score needs an active GRAI licence and six checked criteria, and none of those facts has been read in this test build. The method gives 100 points across six criteria. The table lists eight candidate operators with empty cells, ready to fill, and none is ranked.

## How we score

**AppScore v1 criteria and weights. Source: AppScore v1 method · checked 7 November 2026**

| Criterion | What earns points | Points |
|---|---|---|
| C1 Irish listings | Listing in the Irish App Store (13), listing in Google Play (12) | 25 |
| C2 Transparency | Store developer matches the licensee (5), App Privacy label (5), Data safety section (5) | 15 |
| C3 Freshness | Updated in 90 days or less (10), 91 to 180 days (5), older (0) | 10 |
| C4 Safer-gambling controls | Deposit limit, time limit, time-out, self-exclusion, help link: 6 points each | 30 |
| C5 Payments | 2 points for each documented method from a closed list of five | 10 |
| C6 Features | Live streaming (3), cash out (3), bet builder (2), notification management (2) | 10 |
| Total |  | 100 |

The gate comes first: the licence must be active on the register.

A platform score is the share of the points that apply. The App Privacy label applies to iPhone only and Data safety to Android only, so the maximum is 83 on iPhone and 82 on Android.

**In short:** gate first, then six criteria worth 100 points.

When values exist, rows follow the score, highest first; equal scores follow alphabetical order. A result reads as text, for example "[score] / 100", with no stars. Commission plays no part in the order.

**In short:** the rows are placeholders in alphabetical order, not a ranking.

## Excluded apps and why

An operator is excluded, with the reason shown, in either case:

- **Gate failed.** No active record on the GRAI register on the day. The row reads "Not found on [date]" and the app gets no score.
- **A criterion is not checked.** Only an operator with all six criteria checked is scored. A missing value is never replaced by a guess.

On 7 November 2026 all eight candidates are excluded for the second reason, and the gate is Not checked for each.

**In short:** no score beats a guessed score.

## What AppScore does not measure

- Odds, prices and margins.
- Payout speed. It is outside the method and Not checked.
- How easy the app feels to use.
- Bonuses and offers: the site does not publish offers.
- Store ratings. A store rating is not an input, and the site shows none here.

AppScore measures how much an operator documents, on a date. It is not a guarantee of your experience. Method in full: [AppScore v1](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/appscore-method/).

**In short:** a documentation score, not a verdict on the bookmaker.

## Method, update and CSV

1. Check the licence gate on the GRAI register.
2. Read each criterion from a dated fact in the fact-log (store listings, operator help pages, payment pages).
3. Apply the weights and compute the totals with the published script.
4. Recalculate monthly and whenever an input fact changes.

CSV columns: operator, gate, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, iPhone score, Android score, date. The CSV equals the visible table.

The inputs are in [availability](https://beforeyouinstall.com/data/app-availability-by-licensee/), [controls](https://beforeyouinstall.com/data/safer-gambling-controls-in-apps/) and [payments](https://beforeyouinstall.com/data/mobile-payment-methods-documented/). The ranking page is [best betting apps in Ireland](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/best-betting-apps-ireland/).

**In short:** every score can be recomputed from dated facts.
