# Betting apps for iPhone: which ones pass the checks in Ireland

> iPhone-only ranking of betting apps for Ireland by AppScore v1: Irish App Store listing, App Privacy, update date, controls, payments and Apple Pay.

Updated: 2026-11-07

This iPhone ranking uses only the AppScore v1 criteria that apply to an iPhone: the Irish App Store listing, developer match, App Privacy, update date, controls, payments and features. The maximum is 83 points, shown as a score out of 100. On 7 November 2026 no app has been scored, so every row reads "Not checked".

## What counts on an iPhone

Android-only items are removed, and the score is the share of the points that apply.

| Criterion | Points on iPhone | Left out for iPhone |
|---|---|---|
| C1 Irish store listing | 13 | Google Play listing, 12 |
| C2 Transparency | 10 | Data safety section, 5 |
| C3 Freshness | 10 | None |
| C4 Controls | 30 | None |
| C5 Payments, including Apple Pay | 10 | None |
| C6 Features | 10 | None |
| Total | 83 | 17 in all |

iPhone score = points earned ÷ 83 × 100. Arithmetic illustration only, not an operator: 60 points earned gives 60 ÷ 83 × 100 = 72.3.

The gate still applies: no active GRAI licence, no score.

**In short:** 83 points apply on iPhone, and the score is the share earned.

## The iPhone table

The rows are alphabetical because no score exists. Their order is not a ranking.

**In short:** eight candidates, none scored.

## What we record from each App Store page

- App ID and developer name.
- Version and last update date.
- Minimum iOS and download size.
- Age rating.
- The App Privacy section.

A listing in the Irish storefront, a developer match, App Privacy and the update date earn points. Minimum iOS, size and age rating are recorded in [store listing facts](https://beforeyouinstall.com/data/store-listing-facts/) but earn none. Store ratings are not used.

**In short:** eight fields recorded, three of them scored.

## Who we left out

- Operators with no active GRAI entry on the day of the check.
- Apps with no listing in the Irish App Store. See [why a betting app can be missing](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/betting-app-missing-from-irish-store/).
- Casino, slots and poker apps, since GRAI has issued no licence for them.

We do not advise changing your Apple ID region to reach an app.

**In short:** no Irish listing, no iPhone score.

## Check an iPhone app yourself

1. Open the app's page in the App Store and note the developer name.
2. Find that licensee on the GRAI register and match the licence number.
3. Read the App Privacy section and the update date.
4. Look for Apple Pay on the operator's payment page.

**In short:** developer, licence number, privacy section, payment page.

## How we checked, what changed, caveats

- **How we checked:** public documents only. No App Store page has been read in this build.
- **What changed:** first version, 7 November 2026.
- **Caveats:** the score measures documentation, not odds. See the [overall ranking](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/best-betting-apps-ireland/) and the [Android ranking](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/best-betting-apps-android-ireland/).

## Related questions

### Does Apple Pay make an app better?

Apple Pay earns 2 of the 10 payment points when an operator documents it. Each of the other four tracked methods earns the same 2 points.

### Why can one app have different iPhone and Android scores?

Each platform score divides the points earned by the points that apply: 83 on iPhone and 82 on Android. The listing and data-section criteria differ by store.

### Is an app on the App Store licensed?

Not by that fact alone. The store lists apps, while GRAI licenses operators. Match the licensee on the register with the developer on the listing.

**In short:** the store lists apps; the register licenses operators.
