Default Boylesports (unrated) feedback?

A user wrote us asking for an opinion on them.

Anyone have any experiences with them?

Your funds will be 100% safe.

On the downside: You will be limited very quickly to ridiculously small stakes which will effectively kill your account.

They're Ireland's biggest bookmaker so your money is probably safer there than in the banks at the moment. I think I played there once and they imposed bet365-esque limits on me if I remember rightly.

I prefer just to refer to them as Boils.

Boylesports (Not rated) has been around since 1989 and is one of Ireland's largest independent bookmakers. They are licensed in the UK & Isle of Man and accepts bets everywhere except US and Canada. They also accept 3 different currencies that consist of Euros, Pounds Sterling (GBP) and US Dollars (don't accept U.S. players though LOL).

The deposit/withdraw methods are pretty standard really. They offer bank wires, Neteller, Moneybookers, ************/debit cards (not AMX though), bank draft, and cash at the betting shops.

The software seems pretty vanilla really and could stand to use a massive overhaul IMHOO.

Their signup bonuses are pretty nice and all, however if you show any sign of sharpness. You will be put on a delay and or will have your limits cut to like 1% in a heartbeat.

My overall assessment would be just like most of the other Euro books really. Your funds are safe, but they don't like winners and will show you the door if you show any sign of promise.

I dream of 1% :-) Max winnings of 0.99GBP ($1.61) - not a big winner there either.


Edit: lol!! in fact, I've never won a bet there. 0/4 , and they limit me.

It does suck for sure sir, however congrats on such a fine accomplishment in regards to having your limits cut to pennies, while not winning a wager. Now that's strong!

Hi.

A couple of days ago I had exactly the same thing.

Tried to bet a measly £3 was offered about .50p.

It is a very trustworthy bookie, but whats the use if you cannot use it.

Would suggest take your custom elsewhere.
