On 7 November 2026 no operator payment page has been read for this snapshot. The number of checked operators that list each of five methods is therefore Not checked. The five methods are debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and bank transfer or Open Banking. Credit cards are not a method: they are banned for gambling in Ireland (s.165).

## Key figures for this snapshot

**In short:** eight candidates, five methods, and a source for every cell once read.

## Credit cards are not a method

Credit cards, and e-methods that are funded from credit cards, are banned for gambling (s.165, in force since 5 February 2026). A page that lists a credit card as a deposit method is an error to report, not a method to count.

Banks and fintech apps also run their own gambling blocks; see the [bank blocks snapshot](https://beforeyouinstall.com/data/bank-gambling-blocks-and-protection-tools/). The legal background is on [the credit card ban and mobile payments](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/credit-card-ban-and-mobile-payments/).

**In short:** cards that borrow are out by law; debit and wallets depend on the operator.

## How to read the table

- **Yes.** The operator's payment page lists the method for Irish customers, and the cell links the page.
- **No.** The page lists methods and the method is absent.
- **The operator does not publish this.** No statement was found.
- **Not checked.** The page has not been read. It is not the same as "no".

A cell has two parts, deposit and withdrawal, because a method can work for one and not the other. Limits, fees and withdrawal times are not part of this snapshot. A listed method does not mean it works with every bank or phone.

Method pages: [Apple Pay](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/apple-pay-betting-apps-ireland/), [Google Pay](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/google-pay-betting-apps-ireland/), [debit cards](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/debit-card-betting-apps-ireland/) and [PayPal](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/paypal-betting-apps-ireland/).

**In short:** the table records what the operator documents, not what your bank accepts.

## What changed

First snapshot, 7 November 2026; there is no earlier snapshot. Payment pages are re-read every month, and a row older than 30 days reads "Data may be out of date. Last checked [date]."

Later snapshots list each method added or dropped, with the date. See the [change log](https://beforeyouinstall.com/data/changelog/).

**In short:** nothing to compare yet.

## Method and CSV

1. Open each operator's payment page for Irish customers.
2. Record each of the five methods for deposit and for withdrawal as yes, no or "The operator does not publish this", with the URL and date.
3. Count the derived figures from the filled rows.
4. Publish the CSV with the same columns and date.

CSV columns: operator, method, deposit, withdrawal, date, source. Methods outside the closed list are not counted here. Payments carry 10 of 100 points in [AppScore v1](https://beforeyouinstall.com/data/appscore-results/), 2 per documented method. We did not open accounts, make deposits or place bets.

**In short:** the CSV equals the visible table, on the same date.
