Each betting app sets a minimum iOS or Android version. The Irish App Store listing shows it for iPhone; Google Play shows a minimum only where the listing states one. The range across eight candidate apps is Not checked on this date. Check your system version first, then the listing, before you install.

## Find your phone's version

1. **iPhone:** Settings > General > About, then read the iOS version. To update: Settings > General > Software Update.
2. **Android:** Settings > About phone, then read the Android version. The path differs by phone maker. To update: Settings > System > System update, or the maker's equivalent.
3. Write the version down before you open a store listing.

Menu names vary by version. Not checked on the day.

**In short:** your version is two taps away in Settings.

## Find the minimum in the listing

- **App Store (Ireland):** the listing's compatibility details name the lowest iOS version. Not checked for any betting app.
- **Google Play:** the listing may not state a minimum Android version. If it does not, ask the operator.
- **Match:** your version must be equal to or higher than the minimum.

**In short:** no listing minimum means the answer must come from the operator.

## Minimum versions, eight candidate apps

**Minimum iOS and Android versions in the store listings; all eight are candidates, licence to be confirmed on the GRAI register. Source: App Store (IE) and Google Play listings · checked 7 November 2026**

| App | Minimum iOS (App Store, IE) | Minimum Android (Google Play) | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| bet365 | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| Paddy Power | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| BoyleSports | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| BetVictor | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| Betway | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| William Hill | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| Unibet | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| Sky Bet | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |

The range (lowest and highest minimum) is derived once the cells are filled, with the date. Operators not found on the GRAI register on the day get "Not found on [date]" and no row.

**In short:** the range will be a derived figure with a date, not a headline.

## If your phone is not supported

- **Update the system** if the phone allows it, then compare again.
- **Try the mobile website** if the operator offers one. Not checked; see [app or mobile site](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/betting-app-or-mobile-site/).
- **Do not install a file from another source.** The reasons are in [sideloading](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/sideloading-meaning/).
- **Ask the operator** which versions it supports, through the help page.

**In short:** an unsupported phone is not a reason to leave the store.

## How we checked

Sources planned: App Store (IE) listings, Google Play listings, and Apple and Google help on checking a system version. The paths above come from general knowledge of the menus. No listing was opened for this page, so every table cell is Not checked.

## What changed

7 November 2026: first version of this page.

## Caveats

A listing minimum can change with each app update. A phone that meets the minimum may still run an app slowly; we have no data on that.
