Irish Betting Shops Making Inroads in UK High Streets

BoyleSport’s venture into the UK is focused on launching betting shops in high-traffic areas like major cities. At the core of this plan is an appeal to casual bettors and experienced gamblers alike, creating an inviting environment for both groups. BoyleSports also plans to train their staff with an emphasis on delivering expert advice and a friendly vibe.

Another big change is potentially coming to the UK, with Ladbrokes’s shops in talks of changing hands. Bar One Racing already has shops in Ireland, but this acquisition would see them take ownership of all the Ladbrokes physical locations across the UK. This move would make Bar One Racing instantly a huge betting presence here, potentially replacing over 3,000 stores with their own brand. Entain would also stand to gain a substantial amount of money from the deal, allowing them to fund a new venture.

For UK players these new developments could mean quite the change is coming to the UK betting scene. With two Irish companies coming to the high streets of major cities and other highly populated areas, UK residents will become very familiar with these brands. We can’t imagine a world without Ladbrokes around every corner, but that might be the reality if these talks go ahead. As for BoyleSports’ development, it will be interesting to see a new player step into the UK gambling scene. BoyleSports has a reputation for investing in customer experience and wanting to make a personalised gambling experience, and that will be exciting to see on the UK highstreet.
