# Operators and their apps

> Candidate operators of betting apps for Irish customers: match the brand, the GRAI licensee and the store developer before you trust an app.

This hub lists candidate operators of betting apps for Irish customers. Each brand needs three names matched: the brand, the licensee on the GRAI register and the developer in the store listing. On 7 November 2026 no operator has passed our register check, so every licence below is marked "candidate, licence to be confirmed".

## Three names, one app

An app carries three names. They can belong to three different companies.

- **Brand:** the trading name you see in the app and its adverts.
- **Licensee:** the company named on the GRAI register, with a licence number.
- **Developer:** the name shown on the App Store or Google Play listing.

Our working brief names PPB Counterparty Services Limited as the licensee behind the Paddy Power brand. The developer on its store listings is Not checked.

Another candidate brand has a Gibraltar-registered licensee in the same brief. So where a brand began says nothing about its licence. See [does Irish-owned mean Irish-licensed](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/does-irish-owned-mean-irish-licensed/).

**In short:** match brand, licensee and developer before you deposit.

## Candidate operators

The list is alphabetical because no AppScore exists yet. The order is not a recommendation.

| Candidate brand | Licensee named in our brief | GRAI licence | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| bet365 | Hillside (Europe) ENC | Candidate, licence to be confirmed | [bet365 profile](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/bet365-app-ireland/) |
| BetVictor | BV Gaming Limited | Candidate, licence to be confirmed | [BetVictor profile](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/betvictor-app-ireland/) |
| Betway | Betway Limited | Candidate, licence to be confirmed | [Betway profile](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/betway-app-ireland/) |
| BoyleSports | Boylesports (Gibraltar) Limited | Candidate, licence to be confirmed | [BoyleSports profile](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/boylesports-app-ireland/) |
| Paddy Power | PPB Counterparty Services Limited | Candidate, licence to be confirmed | [Paddy Power profile](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/paddy-power-app-ireland/) |
| Sky Bet | SBG Sports Ltd | Candidate, licence to be confirmed | [Sky Bet profile](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/sky-bet-app-ireland/) |
| Unibet | Platinum Gaming Limited | Candidate, licence to be confirmed | [Unibet profile](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/unibet-app-ireland/) |
| William Hill | WH Ireland Limited | Candidate, licence to be confirmed | [William Hill profile](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/william-hill-app-ireland/) |

**In short:** eight candidates, none confirmed yet.

## Three more brands with a data page

Three further brands have a page that compares the store developer with the GRAI licensee:

- [Ladbrokes](https://beforeyouinstall.com/data/ladbrokes-app-developer-vs-licensee/)
- [Coral](https://beforeyouinstall.com/data/coral-app-developer-vs-licensee/)
- [QuinnBet](https://beforeyouinstall.com/data/quinnbet-app-developer-vs-licensee/), on the Irish and British listings

Some brand names include the word casino. Our brief shows them under betting licences. We cover only their betting apps.

**In short:** betting apps only, whatever the brand name says.

## What each profile will show

- Licensee, licence number, licence type, dates and trading names from the GRAI register.
- Store listings for iPhone and Android: developer, version, update date, minimum OS, size, age rating and data section.
- Safer-gambling controls and where to find them in the app.
- Payment methods, features, and strengths and weaknesses by criterion.
- What we did not check, and "18+ · T&Cs apply".

Where a fact is missing, the profile says "Not checked" or "The operator does not publish this".

**In short:** every profile uses the same fields in the same order.

## How we checked

The candidate list has two sources: seven brands named when we asked two AI assistants on 6 November 2026, and one brand whose Irish store page those assistants cited. Neither source is evidence of a licence.

A brand joins this hub only when the GRAI register shows an entry on the day of the check. There are no affiliate links on this page. Back to the [start page](https://beforeyouinstall.com/) or the [licence guide](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/licence/).

**In short:** the register decides, not the assistants.
