# Google Pay in betting apps in Ireland > Which betting apps in Ireland accept Google Pay? What is not yet checked, what to look for on an operator's payment page, and the credit card ban in s.165. Source: https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/google-pay-betting-apps-ireland/ Updated: 2026-11-07 Google Pay is Google's phone wallet for Android. On 7 November 2026 we have not read any operator's payment page, so we cannot say which Irish betting apps list it. The ban on credit cards and credit-funded wallets (s.165) applies to every method. Each cell in the table is Not checked. ## What the method is - **Google Pay** stores cards on an Android phone and pays with them in shops and apps. - **For betting,** each operator chooses whether to list it for deposits, withdrawals, both or neither. **In short:** Google Pay is a wallet, and each operator opts in or out. ## Operators to check for Google Pay **Candidate operators for Google Pay. Each is a candidate, licence to be confirmed on the GRAI register. Source: operator payment pages, not yet read · checked 7 November 2026** | Operator (candidate) | Google Pay deposit | Google Pay withdrawal | Minimum amount | Checked | |---|---|---|---|---| | bet365 | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | | BoyleSports | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | | Paddy Power | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | | William Hill | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | | Unibet | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Our pages on these candidates: [bet365](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/bet365-app-ireland/), [BoyleSports](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/boylesports-app-ireland/), [Paddy Power](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/paddy-power-app-ireland/), [William Hill](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/william-hill-app-ireland/), [Unibet](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/unibet-app-ireland/). The links stay on this site. **In short:** the table is the shape of the answer, not the answer. ## Deposit and withdrawal - **Deposit:** we will record whether the method is listed, the minimum and maximum, and any fee, each with its date. - **Withdrawal:** we will record the methods an operator says it pays to. A method that takes money in may not pay it out. - **Gaps:** where a page is silent, the cell reads "The operator does not publish this". - **Timings:** we did not withdraw money, so we hold no speed figures. **In short:** two separate lists, and a blank means the operator is silent. ## Identity checks and limits - **Age and identity:** an operator must check both before an account opens (s.169, in force since 5 February 2026). See [what the law requires before an account opens](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/age-and-id-checks-before-an-account-opens/) and [verifying in the app](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/verify-age-and-identity-in-a-betting-app/). - **Limits:** you can set a money limit on play (s.164). Steps are in [setting a deposit limit](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/set-a-deposit-limit-in-a-betting-app/). - **Method limits:** any cap that Google Pay itself applies is Not checked. Google's own page is the source. **In short:** the method does not replace the checks or your own limit. ## The card behind the wallet Credit cards and e-methods topped up from credit cards are banned (s.165, in force since 5 February 2026). Google Pay holds a card; the card's type is what the rule is about. You know which card you added to the wallet, and the operator may not. An operator that lists Google Pay still has to respect the ban. See [the credit card ban explained](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/credit-card-ban-and-mobile-payments/). We give no legal reading. **In short:** check which card you stored, and ask the operator if unsure. ## Check Google Pay yourself 1. On the operator's website, open the deposit or cashier page. 2. Search for "Google Pay" in the deposit and withdrawal lists. 3. Write down the minimum and any fee. 4. Confirm the licensee on the GRAI register before you pay anything. 5. Compare with [Apple Pay](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/apple-pay-betting-apps-ireland/) if you also use an iPhone. **In short:** the answer is on the operator's page, not in an assistant's reply. ## How we checked This page uses the Act and our editorial method only.
