Sports betting and casino for players in Ireland
CaptainsBet puts a sportsbook and an online casino behind one login and one euro balance. Back Dublin or Limerick in the championship, take a price on a Saturday card at Fairyhouse, follow the Premier League in-play, then switch to slots or a live dealer table without moving money between wallets.
The account works the way Irish rules now require: your identity and age are verified before you can play, deposits come from a debit card or a bank transfer rather than a credit card, and limits, time-outs and self-exclusion are available from the day you open it.
How to start betting with CaptainsBet
- Register and verify. Enter your details and confirm your identity and age. Since 1 July 2026 that check happens before your account opens, not after your first withdrawal.
- Fund the account. Use a debit card or a bank transfer in your own name. Credit cards, and e-wallets topped up from one, are not permitted for gambling in Ireland.
- Set your limits first. Decide your deposit and stake limits while you are calm, not mid-match.
- Place your bet. Build a single or an accumulator in the sportsbook, or open the casino lobby.
If an offer is running, its wagering terms are on the promotions page. A bonus has to be played through before winnings from it can be withdrawn.
A world of choice
Choose your sport
Betting on the Irish sporting calendar
The sporting year here has its own rhythm, and the sportsbook follows it: the hurling and football championships through the summer to the All-Ireland finals, the Six Nations and the URC in rugby, and racing from Leopardstown at Christmas to Cheltenham in March, the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse, Punchestown in spring and the Galway Festival in July.
Soccer, at home and abroad
Premier League, Champions League and European football sit beside the League of Ireland, with match result, double chance, both teams to score, totals and handicap markets on the main fixtures.
In-play betting
Odds move as the game does. A goal, a red card, a sending-off in the second half of a championship match: prices are recalculated in seconds, so you can back what you are watching rather than what you predicted on Thursday.
Esports and virtual sports
Esports have a section of their own, and virtual racing and football run around the clock when the real calendar is quiet.
Offers and the small print
Promotions are published in full on the promotions page: what you have to deposit, what you have to stake, how long you have and which markets count. Nothing is sent to you as a personal inducement, because Irish rules do not allow an offer to be aimed at a named customer or a selected group.
If an offer does not suit the way you bet, ignore it. A bonus is never a reason to stake more than you planned.
Entertainment your way
Casino for
every mood
Casino, live dealers and crash games
The casino lobby holds hundreds of slots sorted by studio and theme, alongside:
- Live casino — roulette, blackjack, baccarat and poker tables streamed with real dealers, with euro stakes from small to high roller.
- Crash and fast games — Aviator, Chicken Road 2, Plinko and other quick-round titles.
- TV games, Keno and skill games — Keno Express, HiLo, domino and backgammon.
Results come from certified random number generators. Casino play moves faster than a bet on a match, so deposit limits and a session reminder are worth setting before you start.

The app on matchday
The CaptainsBet app carries the sportsbook, in-play markets and the casino, on the same account and balance as the website. Place a bet on the train to Croke Park, follow the odds from the stand and check your open bets at half time.
Your limits, time-outs and self-exclusion settings apply in the app exactly as they do in the browser. If you would rather not install anything, the mobile site offers the same markets and games.
FAQ
Frequently
asked
questions
You must be 18 or over. Since 1 July 2026, remote operators licensed in Ireland have to verify your identity and your age before you can register, so have a photo ID ready when you sign up.
No. Credit cards have not been allowed for gambling in Ireland since 5 February 2026, and the ban also covers e-wallets or digital methods topped up from a credit card. Use a debit card or a bank transfer from an account in your own name.
Pre-match and in-play markets cover the sports followed here: GAA hurling and football, horse racing in Ireland and the UK, rugby, soccer from the Premier League to the League of Ireland, greyhounds, golf, darts and boxing, plus esports and virtual sports around the clock.
You can set deposit and stake limits or ask support for a time-out at any time. For a longer break, self-exclusion closes your account for a set period, and the National Gambling Exclusion Register run by the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland lets you bar yourself from every licensed operator with a single request.
Any current offer is published on the promotions page with its own wagering terms. Under Irish rules an offer may not be aimed at a named individual or at a group of customers, so read the conditions before you opt in.
Still have a question?
Support answers by live chat on the site and by email. For anything about limits, a time-out or closing your account, the team can set it up for you.
Remember that gambling can be addictive. Set your limits, take breaks, and if it stops being entertainment ring the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 936 725 — free, confidential and open 9am to 11pm.
