# Betting apps for Android: which ones pass the checks in Ireland > How betting apps for Android are ranked in Ireland: licence gate, Google Play facts, 82 Android points and the eight candidates still to be checked. Source: https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/best-betting-apps-android-ireland/ Updated: 2026-11-07 On 7 November 2026 no betting app has an Android score on this site. The ranking uses only Android checks. The checks cover the Google Play listing for Ireland and the Data safety section. They also cover the update date, the minimum Android version and Google Pay in the operator's own documents. Eight candidates are queued, and none has passed the licence gate yet. ## How the Android ranking works Licence gate first: an operator needs an active entry on the GRAI register on the day we check. No gate, no score. After the gate, six criteria apply. Android uses 82 of the 100 AppScore v1 points; the other 18 are iOS-only listing and App Privacy points. **Source: AppScore v1 weights (published formula) · checked 7 November 2026** | Criterion | Android points | What we read | |---|---|---| | C1 Listing in Ireland | 12 | Google Play listing found in the Irish storefront | | C2 Transparency | 10 | Developer matched to licensee (5); Data safety section (5) | | C3 Freshness | up to 10 | Update within 90 days 10; 91 to 180 days 5; older 0 | | C4 Controls | 30 | Five controls, 6 points each | | C5 Payments | 10 | 2 points per documented method of five, including Google Pay | | C6 Features | 10 | Streaming 3, cash out 3, bet builder 2, notification controls 2 | | Total | 82 | Android score = points earned ÷ 82, shown as text such as 72 / 100 | **In short:** The licence gate comes first, then 82 Android points. Store ratings do not count. ## Candidates and results All eight names are candidates, licence to be confirmed. Order is alphabetical because no score exists; alphabetical is also our tie rule. **Source: Google Play listings for Ireland and the GRAI register (not yet read) · checked 7 November 2026** | Candidate | Licence gate | Play listing (IE) | Last update | Data safety | Google Pay | Android score | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | bet365 | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | | BetVictor | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | | Betway | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | | BoyleSports | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | | Paddy Power | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | | Sky Bet | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | | Unibet | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | | William Hill | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | **In short:** Eight rows, no scores, nothing to recommend yet. ## Why nobody is placed first A ranking needs dated facts. These are still missing: - Google Play listing for Ireland: package ID, developer, update date, Data safety, IARC content rating. - Minimum Android version, where the listing states one. - Google Pay on the operator's own payment page. - Licence entries read from the GRAI register on the working day. One assistant answer named bet365 as best for Android. That is a claim to check, and this page holds no data to confirm it. **In short:** Without dated facts we publish a method, not a winner. ## Who is not included - Operators with no entry on the GRAI register on the working day. - Brands known only from the old Revenue list, which is not proof of a licence ([why](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/is-the-revenue-bookmaker-list-still-valid/)). - Applicants whose application is pending: their status is not confirmed. - Exchanges and prediction markets, until the licence type (RBI) is checked. - Casino, slots and poker products: Ireland has no online-casino licences yet, and we promote none. - Any file outside Google Play ([sideloading](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/sideloading-meaning/)). **In short:** A name appears here only when the register shows it. ## Check an Android app yourself 1. Open Google Play on the phone and search for the brand. 2. Write down the developer name on the listing. 3. Open the [GRAI register](https://www.grai.ie/register/licence-register) and search for the licensee. 4. Match the number (format GRAI-NNNN-RB-26-NNNN), the type and the dates. 5. Read the update date and the Data safety section, then find Google Pay on the operator's payment page. No register entry? Do not deposit. Full steps: [licence check](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/check-a-betting-app-licence/) and [installing on Android](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/install-a-betting-app-on-android/). **In short:** Five steps, and no account is needed. ## Operator links No operator link is attached to this page in this build.
