Boylesports

About Boylesports

Boylesports has been in operation since 1982. The other big name Irish bookie, they have shops all over Ireland and in a few locations elsewhere. They’ve grown rapidly over the last 10 or so years, more than trebling their number of shops, but if you live anywhere in England apart from a few specific areas (around Birmingham, for instance) or haven’t been paying attention you may not have come across any Boylesports shops; there are none in London or the South East and even the ones in the Midlands were acquired quite recently (in 2019).

Like the other big bookies, Boylesports has a website offering many different products; as well as a sportsbook with in-play betting, virtuals, poker, bingo and lotto there’s a Playtech powered casino and live casino plus a huge range of slot games from other providers in the Games area. The very generous welcome offer is for the Playtech slots in the Casino part of the site.

Bingo at Boylesports

Boylesports has a slightly old fashioned looking and fairly standard Virtue Fusion bingo area, if any site on the Rolls Royce of bingo software can ever be called standard.  There’s plenty of bingo rooms including 75, 80 and 90 ball bingo network rooms, speed bingo and the Virtue Fusion specials Deal Or No Deal Bingo (in both 75 and 90 ball versions) and Age of the Gods Bingo.  In a nice touch, many of the bingo rooms have been given wild animal related names.  For example, the network 90 ball room is called Lion’s Lair, the speed room is called Cheetah Chase and the network 75 ball room is called Hippo House.

As always at a Playtech bingo site, tickets can be purchased up to a week ahead.

Slot Games at Boylesports

If you want to know how comprehensive a range of slot games a site has, you can usually get a good idea by looking at the progressive jackpots, and Boylesports does not disappoint. The Jackpots tab in the Casino lobby has Mega Moolah, WOWPot and King Millions by Games Global, Dream Drop by Relax Gaming, IGT Megajackpots and Jackpot King. There’s also Playtech jackpots including Gladiator, Jackpot Blitz, Sporting Legends, Age of the Gods and Kingdoms Rise. That’s what we call well appointed!

Boyles Casino has a massive range of slot games by Playtech (you’ll find these in the Vegas tab) plus a huge selection by other providers. All of the Slingo games are together in their own tab as are all the instant win games and classic slots. There’s also a tab called In Shop which is for games you might have played at a terminal in a betting shop (not necessarily one of theirs).

In the Live Casino, the games are all by Playtech. There’s Fire Blaze, Age of the Gods and K-Pop themed roulette as well as more conventional forms of roulette, blackjack and baccarat and a great selection of Playtech’s live casino game shows.

The Featured area showcases the top games from all parts of the lobby and this helps players find games they might like that are similar to games they’ve already played. There’s also a search box so you can look for a game by name, of course.

Each game tile has a little “information” icon on it that pops up a brief description of how the game works and displays the Return to Player, so there’s no need to load up the game and dign through the help files to retrieve this crucial piece of information.

Going beyond slots and casino, another product you may be interested in at Boylesports is the lottery betting in the Lotto tab. They offer bets on around 15 different lottery draws (not all are available to UK players).

Add the Playtech powered bingo rooms and poker (via download or mobile app) on top of the fully featured sportsbook and you really have got a comprehensive range of products (including e-sports which is available in the sportsbook).

Other considerations

The casino has a Promotions area where they run free spins offers from time to time and also participate in Pragmatic Play’s ongoing Drops & Wins promotion.

One of the big plus points of Boylesports is the range of different deposit methods they accept, but do be aware that many of them (including all prepaid cards) are excluded from deposit based promotions.

Final Thoughts

All in all, a great selection of games, a nice no wagering welcome offer and lots of other products on site makes Boylesports a top tier operator that’s well worth checking out.
