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.

[Champi]

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.

[Ortho]

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.

[bigboydan]

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.

[moonbeam]

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.

I just now noticed that an SBR viewer did enter a review on this book. You guys can checkout his comments about them here.

[zik013]

i have an ongoing case with them, where they initially took very bad side, and decided to cheat me for some money.... can you advice me how can i inform you of this case and its developments... i am new to this

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.

[bigloser]

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

[zik013]

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

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....

[DIF]

same here they cut my limits to 0-10£ ON LINE when tried some good pricez( Im never bet on bad lines just try some good pricez)

just another disappointing brittish(irish) sportsbook.

All UK books do this, from top to bottom

[DIF]

lad is the only brittish book I respect.

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

[DIF]

here is my what it cost me with boylesports.(without placing a bet ) because of the exchange it costs( they only got euro allowed)
deposit un 13 22:30Boylesports$788.39- USDAccepted
withrawal back to my account with the exchange it costs.

Jun 15 08:51Boylesports- $749.54


so I lose 29$ without being allowed to bet ON LINE.

what more can I say?

[HeeeHAWWWW]

They allow signups in US$ and pounds too. Looks like your bank/credit card has just charged 2.75% conversion for both transactions (pretty normal).

Useless bookie regardless.

Hello,I've registred at Boylesports about a month ago, deposited 50 pounds and raised to about 850(played poker as well)Then I withdrew 250 and my account has been suspended for security reasons.I provided them with all documents they asked,but they said my passport( which I used to cross the borders via international aeroport) has failed their security check!!!!! I asked them to visit the official LATVIAN GOVERMENT site and compare my passport to the example which is given on it(it's absolutely the same,I can send a copy of my passport if you want) They did it and said ,,it is still incorrect"!!!!! What can I do? I'm sending the last chat session of Boylesports live assistance


Hello, Welcome to Boylesports live help. How may I assist you? [10:21:18 AM]
Romans Kohanovskis: Hello [10:21:23 AM]
Romans Kohanovskis: My account has been suspended.Last Thursday you said you were checking my passport with the Latvian Consulate in Dublin and would give me an outcome on Friday [10:23:52 AM]
Paul: We have had no word from the Latvian consulate. The passport you supplied is still incorrect. [10:28:16 AM]
Romans Kohanovskis: It takes one minute for Latvian Consulate to have a look at my passport and conclude that it is ok. Maybe the answer has been lost? [10:30:26 AM]
Paul: We have forwarded your details onto the consulate and they have not responded. We will not being reopening your account as the passport you sent us has not passed our Security checks. [10:31:29 AM]
Romans Kohanovskis: How can you prove it? If you go to the LATVIAN GOVRMENT website (in English) you can easily compare my passport to the example which is given there. They are absolutely the same [10:35:56 AM]
Paul: We have checked your details with our Security Department and they have informed us that the passport has failed therefore your account will not be reopened. We have checked the Latvian Government website as well as a couple of other websites and there are differences in your passport and the other versions we are seeing. [10:41:56 AM]
Romans Kohanovskis: It can't be true.I've just visited Latvian Goverment website.And my passport absolutely the same.It has the same amount of numbers and letters as on the example.Can you give me the link of the Latvian Goverment site you have visited? [10:46:17 AM]
Paul: We have checked the one that you provided: http://www.pmlp.gov.lv/en/pakalpojum...ort/alien.html as well as Wikipidea and we also Googled images of your passport. It has also failed our routine Security checks that we do on all other passports that are sent in to us. As it has failed our Security checks we will not be reopening your account. [10:54:30 AM]
Romans Kohanovskis: right,thank you for that. And can you tell where is exactly the difference? [10:56:29 AM]
Romans Kohanovskis: I can't find.International aeroport securities could,t find the difference as well [10:57:16 AM]
Paul: There are letters missing which are standard on all International Passports. [10:58:18 AM]
Romans Kohanovskis: Can you say where exactly,please? [10:59:23 AM]
Romans Kohanovskis: I ca't find [11:01:05 AM]
Paul: Yes. After the digits 789 it has XXX this should have your country code LVA as these letters are missing it has failed our Security Checks which are run on all passports; therefore your account will not be reopened. [11:03:09 AM]
Paul: Is there anything else i can do for you? [11:09:51 AM]
Romans Kohanovskis: No,on the example there is XXX as the well. But LVA is on the line above.It is the official example of Latvian passport which is recognized in all the world. But it's not recognized by your security checks.Be honest,please [11:10:23 AM]
Paul: Your passport has failed our Security checks so therefore we will not be reopening your account. [11:11:22 AM]
Romans Kohanovskis: So we will need the third person probably. I have no way and probably will need to send our chat sessions to respectful websites which help players in such situations but your reputation may drop,because they have raitings for all bookmakers. If it does not help I'll have to fly to Dublin to your Head office.I don't think your bosses will be happy to read our chat session whis such no respect to costumers. But I don't want to do that and hope we can decide this problem peacefully. Just check my passport more carefully,please [11:20:25 AM]
Paul: We have checked your Passport via our normal Security procedures. As I have already advised: "Your passport has failed our Security checks so therefore we will not be reopening your account." If you wish to make any further enquiries please do so by sending us an e-mail to care@boylesports.com [11:23:32 AM]

Tried to write a complaint here,but verification failed

[woodg8]

I use them here in the UK, and haven't had a problem with them at all. They are one of my favourite bookies as the odds they have are usually the best around, for the favourites anyway.

I do have one gripe, which is that they don't accept **** Electron's, but other than that, can't complain. I've had about 4 free £50 bets in the past 2 months, so they're generous on that count.

[d555]

I have accounts in many bookies and have never had problems with passport checking. The main idea is that they have locked my account,because my passport has failed their security checking. But it has been checked by international airport securities and proved by another bookies!!!!!!! Really strange!!! Interesting,if I fly to Ireland to their head office and show them my passport they'll say I crossed the border illegally?

[d555]

Bonuses at Boylesports are really good I can't complain about that.Good live support,high odds.I've got 200 pounds of free bets last month on my account. But what is the point of getting bonus,if they locked my account without any reason and I can't withdraw money?

[PantherClaws]

Same here. Registered because they had a really good bonus and right after I lost my initial deposit they started to limit my bets using the bonus until they locked my account with a final decision that could not be revogated. Don't trust these guys, they promise you a great bonus but right after you lose your money they don't let you use the bonus.

[d555]

The most of money I have won playing poker.What is the official reason of closing your account,PantherClaws ?

[PantherClaws]

After several contacts using livechat and e-mails my account was permanently closed with no aparent reason. I deposited 100£ and received a 100£ free balance. After my first bet I noticed that the ammount deposited(in my account) changed from 100£ to 100€. I confirmed with my bank account and they really took only 100€, so I didn't bother. After losing the 100€ I deposited, limits to my bets started to increase and I only used 10€ of the free balance. Here is the last email I sent them:

Good evening,
My account is closed for unknown reasons. In the Live chat I was told you weren't accepting new customers from Portugal. I understand whatever your reasons are, but I've never been incorrect with you, I trusted in your site enough to deposit a considerable amount of funds into your system, and now you close my account, without even letting me bet the free balance you promised and I earned upon registration. I would be glad to have somekind of justification for what happened because after losing my initial deposit you started lifting a wall of restriction at my account, like, for example, only letting me bet 1 € in every match I select(over the phone). This is a behaviour I wasn't expecting from such a prestigious gambling place as yours. Hope you solve this issues, otherwise you'll lose many customers for sure(not only portuguese ones).

Greetings

And here is their response:

Dear Mr. Vitorio,

Many thanks for contacting Boylesports. Further to your query, I can appreciate your frustration in relation to the closing of your account however I can only advise that the account has been closed as a result of a decision reached by our management. This decision is final.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the best in the future.

Kind Regards

They never gave a reason why my account is closed they just told me it was due to management decision. Be very carefull with this Sportsbook, they aren't trustworthy as their bonus's purpose is only to lure you to deposit money into their site. I contacted them several times trough telephone to use my free balance and the limits were ridiculous, for example, I could only bet 1€ in a 1X2 soccer match from the Champions League.

Linda: We reserve the right to refuse all or part of any bet offered [01:51:50 PM]
Fábio Vitório: Yes, I know that but can I only bet 50 £ without losing the other 50 £? [01:52:30 PM]
Fábio Vitório: Or the freebet must be used all at once in a single bet? [01:52:48 PM]
Linda: Our traders make the decision on limits. [01:53:38 PM]
Fábio Vitório: I understand that but concerning the freebet balance, does it has to be used all at once or is it the same as using normal funds? [01:54:30 PM]
Linda: The free bet balance can be used as you wish however we do reserve the right to refuse all or part of any bet offered. [01:58:43 PM]
Fábio Vitório: ah ok. I understand, I have read the Terms & Conditions upon registration. [02:00:19 PM]
Fábio Vitório: I know that calling that number won't do anything besides increasing my telephone bill, because I have several friends that have tryed that only to see their bets refused. [02:01:17 PM]
Fábio Vitório: That's really sad, but I can't say I wasn't warned. [02:01:45 PM]
Fábio Vitório: Thanks anyway. [02:01:54 PM]
Linda: Unfortunately I cannot comment on other accounts. I can only apologise for any inconvenience caused [02:01:55 PM]
Fábio Vitório: Excuse me but I'm not able to place a bet of any value. [02:03:48 PM]
Linda: You really will need to contact our Fon-a-Bet department. [02:04:12 PM]
Fábio Vitório: I tought that I could place at least 25 GBPs in a bet! [02:04:19 PM]
Fábio Vitório: They will tell me the same as you're telling me now! [02:04:35 PM]
Linda: There is little more I can say unfortunately [02:05:19 PM]
Fábio Vitório: So I need to call Fon-a-Bet [02:06:07 PM]
Linda: Yes [02:06:15 PM]
Fábio Vitório: what's the number? [02:06:15 PM]
Linda: +353429393002 [02:06:22 PM]
Fábio Vitório: ok. [02:08:28 PM]
Fábio Vitório: I can't even place a 10 £ bet! [02:12:46 PM]
Fábio Vitório: This is really ridiculous! [02:12:58 PM]
Fábio Vitório: What's the freebet for? [02:13:13 PM]

3rd Chat Session

Hello, Welcome to Boylesports live help. How may I assist you? [10:56:10 PM]
Fábio Vitório: Good evening, Joyce! My actual free balance is 90 pounds is there a game I can bet with those without having to call your FON-A-BET number? [10:57:16 PM]
Joyce: It would depend on the risk controls , if you are unable to place your bet online you will need to contact our call centre. [10:59:30 PM]
Fábio Vitório: Today I could have lost my entire free balance if it wasn't for your restrictions. I am very gratefull but I would prefer to have freedom with my free balance as I did with my first bet. [10:59:35 PM]
Fábio Vitório: I dont really care about my free balance at all, and I was willing to deposit more money into my account if you hadn't these kind of issues. [11:01:08 PM]
Fábio Vitório: That's really sad for your businesses if everyone knows about how this system works. [11:01:44 PM]
Fábio Vitório: You promise a great bónus and then you lift a wall of restrictions on how to use them. [11:02:14 PM]
Fábio Vitório: That's why my friends will no longer bet as they did in the past. [11:03:01 PM]
Fábio Vitório: You should expect a lot less registrations and consequent bets from Portugal from now on. [11:03:29 PM]
Joyce: Risk controls are put in place by our Trading department and are based on trading decisons. If you are unable to place a bet online I can only suggest you contact our call centre and one of our agents will gladly assist your by contacting our trading department with your request. [11:04:13 PM]
Fábio Vitório: Yes, I understand. Too bad I'm gonna have to call you 9 times (at least) to lose all my current free balance. [11:05:15 PM]
Fábio Vitório: Is there any e-mail that I can use to perform a more formal complaint about this issue? [11:05:51 PM]
Joyce: If you wish to email care@boylesports.com and your mail will be forwarded to the relevant department. [11:07:02 PM]
Fábio Vitório: I don't mean to be rude, but this is not being a nice experience for me. [11:07:15 PM]
Fábio Vitório: thank you. [11:07:28 PM]
Fábio Vitório: goodbye. [11:09:05 PM]
Joyce: Goodnight, if you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us. [11:09:56 PM]

I'm sorry for the long post.

Damn,I don't understand the reason of closing your account.But in your case they were not so stupid to say that your passport is incorrect.And it still more than 600 pounds on my account.Boylesports are just trying to steal them giving so funny reason of closing my account

Welcome to the SBR forum PantherClaws and d555

Sorry to hear about your situations with Boylesports. You are both welcome to either fill out a complaint form or send us an email to: Assistance@SportsbookReview.com and one of us will inquire to them on your behalf.

[PantherClaws]

Thanks bigboydan,

As I can't find Boylesports in your ratings list I don't see what's the point of filling a complaint, the only thing I wanted with my post was to warn people that could be lured by their bonuses. Besides my situation happened a few months ago and I gave up on them and because only recently I discovered SBR I don't think it would be apropriate to ask for your assistance regarding a problem with a bookie that I discovered myself(without consulting your ratings).
As for d555 I think he should fill a complaint as he had a considerable amount of funds in that bookie specially compared with my 90 € free balance.

Yes,I filled the complaint form.Actually they says they are still checking my passport with Latvian Consulate in Dublin(but my account has been closed and will be not reopened!!!!).But I don't believe it's true. They says there is no respond from Consulate from Thursday.Maybe try to contact Consulate? Or visit it and their headoffice then. It will take me about 250-300 pounds to stay for a couple of days in Ireland. But the result isn't guaranteed.Stress for 300 pounds of profit They may invent another reason to close my account

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Boylesports are notorious for offering a superficially good bonus, but if you show any clue of knowing what you're doing (ie betting on attractive odds) they'll limit your account to near-zero stakes, or just close the account. In other words, the bonus is essentially a scam.

[bigboydan]

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

Play carefully

Hey Moonbeam, You still dodging the bullets at this book or have they cut your limits by now?

As I see I am not the only victim of Boylesports.So I think SBR should put Boylesports to the blacklist to save potential costumers money and nerves
