Betting apps on iPhone

  • 3 min read
  • 5 sections
  • Checked

To choose and set up a betting app on an iPhone in Ireland, find the operator's GRAI licence first, then open the app's listing in the Irish App Store and compare its developer with the licensee. Check Apple Pay and the safer-gambling tools before you deposit. This hub points to each step.

Check on iPhone and AndroidTwo phone outlines side by side. On iPhone, open the Irish App Store listing and read the developer name, last update, age rating and App Privacy section. On Android, open the Google Play listing and read the developer name, update date, content rating and Data safety section. Then match the developer to the licensee on the GRAI register. iPhone: App StoreAndroid: Google Play Developer nameLast updatedAge ratingApp Privacy sectionDeveloper nameUpdated onContent ratingData safety section GRAI registermatch thelicensee
The same checks on both phones, then one match against the register.

The five checks on an iPhone

  1. Licence: match licensee and number on the GRAI register. See how to check a licence.
  2. Listing: read the Irish App Store page. Fields we record: developer, version, update date, minimum iOS, size, age rating and App Privacy.
  3. Payments: see whether Apple Pay is documented by the operator. See Apple Pay in betting apps.
  4. Limits: find the in-app limits, then consider phone-level limits with Screen Time.
  5. Features: note what is documented for streaming, cash out and bet builder.

In short: the licence check comes before the download.

What Apple requires

Apple publishes a Real Money Gaming section in its App Store Review Guidelines. The clause number and exact wording are Not checked in this build. Confirm them on developer.apple.com before this page goes live.

An app being on the App Store does not replace the GRAI check. The store decides what it lists. GRAI decides who holds a licence.

We do not advise changing your Apple ID region to find an app. If an app is missing in Ireland, read why it can be missing.

In short: a store listing is not a licence.

Two accounts, not one

Your Apple ID signs you in to the App Store. Your operator account holds your betting details and money. Deleting the app does not close the operator account. See what happens to your account when you delete the app.

In short: the App Store account and the operator account are separate.

In short: six pages, plus the Android hub.
