I had a gentlemen inquire to me about this book (Boylesports) the other day, and I thought I'd share the info with everyone about this particular book.

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, credit cards/debit cards (not American express 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.

All is true big boy .
Today i make 1 bet only and after this they cut my line to 0%.They are unusable bookie if you bet on singles.
But deffenetely have nice odds.
Payments are quickly about 1 hour via MoneyBookers.

They are fine but totally useless. Your money is safe because you will never get enough of it in there to worry about. The £25 bonus is nice but it is very difficult to complete the "bet basket" and get all 5 (? from memory) free £25 bets because they won't let you get enough bets on to complete the offer. This is seemingly unrelated to whether you are winning or losing.

I found the prices to be pretty generic for UK/ROI bookies.

After 4 or 5 bets (and I made those 4 or 5 bets roughly all at once) I was unable to get a bet on of any size (like not even £1) on anything on the Internet. I had to phone in the free bet that they give for your 5th bet, and never played there after.

Hassle-free payout back to my credit card in the usual couple of days.

Champi and Ortho,

By any chance do you know what the delay times they have put people on? The reason I was asking was that I couldn't find anything accept one person claiming he was on a 90 second delay after 2 days of wagering.

[Ortho]

I was never put on a delay, and I don't think they have one.

What they have is a popup that says "Due to risk controls, we are unable to take this bet over the internet, if you have questions please call customer services," or something close to that. Nearly everyone who plays there for long enough (unless they just lose and lose, I guess) gets this message.

I think that what the other person was claiming as a delay was actually just a slow-running website. I recall having it hang a couple of times. Personally, I think they don't bother with the delay--they just send you straight to the phones.

BTW, their support are very friendly and will share with you what they know about their risk-control software, etc. I never got the feeling they were doing anything sneaky--they're just really risk-averse.

BTW, based on what my experiences were with them, their profile in England, safety of funds, etc. I'd rate them a B or B+, which doesn't at all mean that they're a useful or good place to play, just that they are safe, solid, and well-run and don't try to trick you.

I´m with them now since 2 month,
without any limits cut.

Play carefully

[bigboydan]

Surprising you lasted that long Moonbeam. Congrats and good luck to you on continued success dodging the bullet.

thank you, complaint filed... that was the link i was looking for...

i hope this Irish bookie reconsiders its actions, as they are creating a very bad precedent for the future

[bigboydan]

We will investigate your complaint and hopefully we can get you paid so. So please give us ample time to do so.

They are better than Bet365 who are B+. They do limit quick online but will take an OK bet over the phone unlike Bet365.
There is no delay.
Great Customer Service

if you are familliar with the case, i can tell you that Boyles yesterday decided to reinstate one of my 4 trebles (the one with no "error" bet) and paid the winnings... so for now i got about 43% of the winnings i would usually get in all the books with the "normal" rules....

All UK books do this, from top to bottom

I play with them for years without they cut my limit.
