What can I use the Boylesports new customer offer on this weekend?

This weekend sees the conclusion of the English Premier League plus EFL Play-Off Finals from Wembley for the Championship, League 1 and League 2, high class racing from Haydock Park, Goodwood and the Curragh, plus Josh Taylor vs Ekow Essuman Boxing from Glasgow, all from Friday 23rd May through till Monday 26th May.

The football starts on Saturday when Sheffield United face Sunderland in the EFL Championship Play-Off Final from Wembley – kick-off 3:01pm live on Sky Sports. This is likely to be a tight affair with Sheffield beating Sunderland 1-0 at Bramall Lane and Sunderland beating Sheffield United 2-1 at the Stadium of Light this season. The winner naturally plays in the Premier League next season. Saturday at 3pm on BBC iPlayer also sees the Scottish Cup Final – Aberdeen vs Celtic from Hampden Park.

Sunday lunchtime 25th May sees Wembley host the League 1 Play-Off Final. It’s an all-London affair as Charlton Athletic under Nathan Jones play Leyton Orient and their manager Richie Wellens. Jones took Luton Town from League 1 into the Championship, whilst Wellens has done a great job at Orient winning the League 2 title in 2023 and now taking the East London club to Wembley in 2025. Kick-off is 1:01pm, live on Sky Sports.

Later Sunday afternoon then sees the Premier League Final Day with all 10 matches running concurrently with a 4pm kick-off. 3 of them are televised. Liverpool vs Crystal Palace from Anfield sees the Premier League champions against the FA Cup winners – that is on Sky Sports Premier League. The game with most riding on it has to be Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle from the City Ground – a win for Forest would see Chelsea not make the Champions League and could see the East Midlands club qualify if Newcastle or Aston Villa fail to win. Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea is live on Sky Sports Main Event.

The Premier League Final Day matches conclude with beaten Europa League Finalists Manchester United host Champions League chasing Aston Villa live on TNT Sports. The Birmingham-based club need a slip up from Manchester City, Newcastle or Chelsea to grab a top 5 Champions League place.

Premier League Fixtures, Sunday 25th May:

• Bournemouth vs Leicester, Fulham vs Manchester City, Ipswich vs West Ham, Liverpool vs Crystal Palace, Manchester United vs Aston Villa, Newcastle vs Everton, Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea, Southampton vs Arsenal, Tottenham vs Brighton, Wolverhampton vs Brentford.

Monday 26th May sees the EFL League 2 Play-Off Final from Wembley – AFC Wimbledon vs Walsall – live on Sky Sports with a 3:01pm kick-off. Walsall avoided automatic promotion when atop of League 2 by a mile in February, but looked strong when beating Chesterfield 4-1 on aggregate in the Semi-Final. Johnnie Jackson’s AFC Wimbledon beat Notts County in both Semi Final legs but didn’t beat Walsall this season in their 2 league matches.

UFC Fight Night from The Apex, Las Vegas, in the early hours of Sunday morning sees full coverage on TNT Sports. This UFC HQ-hosted card features a Women’s Flyweight contest as Erin “Cold Blooded” Blanchfield (13-2) takes on Maycee “The Future” Barber (14-2). Blanchfield has beaten luminaries such as former champions Jessica Andrade and Rose Namajunas in recent fights, whilst Barber stopped Amanda Ribas and beat former title challenger Katlyn Chookagian in her last 2 fights. This is undoubtedly a title eliminator for a chance to take on Valentina Shevchenko. Co-main sees Lightweight action as number 7 ranked Mateusz “Gamer” Gamrot (24-3-1NC) fights Ludovit “Mr. Highlight” Klein (23-4-1). Also watch out for Welshman Oban “The Welsh Gangster” Elliott who fights on the undercard against Ramiz Brahimaj (11-5) in a Welterweight clash.

UFC Fight Night Blanchfield vs Barber – TNT Main Card:

• Erin Blanchfield (13-2) fights Maycee Barber (14-2) – Flyweight
• Mateusz Gamrot (24-3-1NC) fights Ludovit Klein (23-4-1) – Lightweight
• Billy Ray Goff (9-3) fights Ko Seok-hyeon (11-2) – Welterweight
• Dustin Jacoby (20-9-1) fights Bruno Lopes (14-1) – Light Heavyweight
• Zachary Reese (8-2) fights Dusko Todorovic (12-5) – Middleweight

Saturday night sees the much anticipated return of Scotland’s Josh Taylor (19-2). The former undisputed Light-Welterweight World Champion has lost his last 2 fights to Teofimo Lopez and most famously Jack Catterall in Leeds last summer. He returns to his native Scotland, making his Welterweight debut, looking for a win against former British and European Welterweight champion Ekow ‘The Engine’ Essuman (21-1). Taylor is the first and only male British fighter to become an undisputed champion in the four-belt era and must beat Essuman who will see this as a huge opportunity to jump up to world level. The undercard includes Moses Itauma (11-0), the young British Heavyweight who has raced to 11 wins with 9 knockouts at just 20-years-old. Mike Balogun is Itauma’s opponent on this Frank Warren Queensbury Promotion live on DAZN.

Full Taylor vs Essuman Main DAZN Boxing Card:

• Josh Taylor vs Ekow Essuman – WBO International Welterweight title
• Moses Itauma vs Mike Balogun – WBO Intercontinental & WBA International Heavyweight title
• Nathaniel Collins vs Lee McGregor – Welterweight
• Aloys Junior vs David Jamieson – Cruiserweight
• Aston Brown vs Reece Porter – Scottish Super-Welterweight title

Saturday sees ITV Racing from Haydock Park, Goodwood and the Curragh live on ITV1. The Curragh sees Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas which is the final race on ITV Racing – the 3:40pm. Newmarket 2,000 Guineas runner-up Field of Gold (Colin Keane) is the odds-on favourite for the first Irish Classic of 2025. Likeliest challengers are the Aidan O’Brien trained Officer, with Marlborough-based trainer Harry Charlton sending over the promising Cosmic Year. Meanwhile in the UK the big race of the day – £71,000 to the winner – is the 3pm at Haydock Park, the Sandy Lane Stakes. Big Mojo (William Buick) is the likely favourite to take out this Group 2, 6 furlong sprint, with Adrian Murray trained Arizona Blaze (David Egan) a very likely challenger.

Weekend horse racing fixtures across the UK are:

• Friday 23rd May: Bath, Goodwood, Haydock Park, Pontefract, Worcester (Jumps).

So what are the strong points of Boylesports and where could they do with improvement? As one of the fastest growing online sports books, Boylesports’ promotion range and website ease of use is exactly as you would expect it to be and below we summarise exactly what we have experienced:

Who better to ask in terms of how Boylesports rates than its actual customers and users? One of the benefits of the digital age is that customers have a number of ways to give their feedback as a consumer to the brands that they come into contact with. So how does Boylesports rank in the eyes of its customers?

Review statistics as per 14th May 2025.

Maximum payout ceilings are critical when selecting an online bookmaker to place bets with. Each and every bookmaker has daily payout limits within their terms of business. Some are extremely generous with others significantly lower and, be in no doubt, a bookmaker will not pay any winnings higher than their daily maximum payout ceiling. To add a level of complexity, those levels vary by sport and naturally can impact on large payouts, especially via accumulator bets.

From a maximum payout perspective, Boylesports are far better than many UK-facing online bookmakers when it comes to daily payout limits. Competitive on football, Boylesports right now are co-market leader in the golf market, which is a real focus sport for them with a growing number of active golf punters.

Here’s a summary of some key sports and Boylesports’ maximum payouts compared with some others in the market:

For a comprehensive overview of this topic read this excellent boylesports maximum payout guide.

With the 2025 Premier League season already more than half of the way through, this year is setting up to be one of the most exciting in recent times with pre-season favourites Manchester City not having it all their own way by any stretch of the imagination.

After a truly barren spell up until Christmas, Pep Guardiola’s men have finally found a way to win once again but heading into the FA Cup break they trail leaders Liverpool by 12 points having played a game more, and surely even by City’s incredibly high standards it would take something special for them to retain their title this year.

With the busy Spring period likely to provide pivotal to the chances of those teams with any aspirations of the title or European places, all eyes will be on the fixtures of City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal as they jostle for position in the league.

Surprise package Nottingham Forest are making a bold attempt to secure European football next season too with striker Chris Wood firing on all cylinders this season, however there’ll undoubtedly be pressure from the likes of Spurs, Newcastle and Aston Villa as we head towards the business end of the season.

The fight for the title and European football is fierce, however at the other end of the table there’s a titanic battle for Premier League survival.

Promoted sides Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton have all picked up wins this season, however with the south coast team cast adrift at the bottom it looks like it will be a mini-league of four with Wolves and Everton in the dogfight too.

Boylesports will, as ever, have a multitude of outright and individual match markets available for betting upon as the action continues through the final part of the season.

• Fulham vs Manchester City

Ireland is truly fanatical about betting. Horse Racing, both Flat and National Hunt is huge with punters just as passionate about the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, Celtic and Rangers. The English Premier League, Scottish Premiership, Golf, Rugby Union, Darts as well as GAA Football and Hurling – undoubtedly Irish sports fans love their sport and they also love a bet. The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland is therefore one of the most competitive sports betting markets on the globe. This is the perfect backdrop with which to study the rise of Boylesports as a major retail and online betting operator.

Established in 1992, Boylesports is now an established online player as well as being the leading Independent Bookmaker in Ireland – incorporating both the Republic and Northern Ireland. It’s also now recognised in the United Kingdom as well with various advertising campaigns and sponsorship driving a huge acceleration in active business.

Boylesports was first established in Newry, Northern Ireland in 1982 when John Boyle opened up the first betting shop. At the time Boyles’ father loaned him £6,000 to help buy the premises. But from these humble beginnings Boyle was astute at building the business organically, via retail expansion. By 1989, John opened a further 5 shops in Drogheda in the Republic of Ireland, and had a small retail chain with which he could build revenue levels. Boyle admits that expansion at this early stage was never planned – it just happened organically. 2002 saw a further 14 shops open.

John Boyle continued to head his organisation as it grew shop-by-shop throughout the noughties. Expansion was mainly through purchase of independent bookmaker shops with the odd-small chain thrown-in. Small Irish towns where the bookmaker was a local fulcrum of the community was exactly where Boylesports wanted to be. Shop numbers grew to 77 by mid-2004, a number that then reached the milestone of 100 stores within a further 18 months.

Re-wind to 2003, which was a further milestone for Boylesports as it opened a new HQ in Dundalk, moving it’s central function, which from the opening of that first shop in 1992, had always been in Drogheda. With a growing store network, phone betting and online website, a new Communications and Marketing Centre also opened in 2006.

By 2007 John Boyle had serious in-depth negotiations to sell the Retail side of Boylesports for €200 million. But Boylesports was, as it is still today a Private Limited Company and Boyle simply wasn’t prepared to sell his business. Taken from an Irish Independent article in 2014, John Boyle is quoted as saying about the decision not to sell; “I could go to the South of France and do nothing,  but I like getting up and going to work. This is my toy. What was I going to do? I’d have a big cheque but nothing to do.”

The global financial crisis from 2007 onwards, and downturn in both the betting industry and the global economy in-general, offered Boyle the next opportunity to strategically expand the business. In February 2011, Celtic Bookmakers went bust along with 47 betting shops, with 250 employees. Boylesports bought 17 of those shops, taking on 65 employees, from the administrator, for just over €2 million. But 2011 also offered further opportunities for Irish expansion, as UK-based William Hill looked to move out of Ireland. John Boyle couldn’t believe his luck as 15 stores with a 2007 combined value of €15 million, were sold to him for €2 million. By 2014 the Irish market saw Paddy Power with 210 shops, Ladbrokes with 200 shops and Boylesports with 195.

2017 saw a fundamental change at Boylesports. John Boyle as CEO across the financial crisis, had always been looking at handing on day-to-day control of the family to the right person. So in June he handed over the reigns to son-in-law Conor Gray, with Boyle becoming Executive-Chairman and remaining the controlling shareholder.

Expansion has continued at pace, both online and in-retail. 2015 saw a new digital and marketing base open at Ocean Village, Gibraltar. Boylesports, Boylesports Casino, Poker and Bingo were established, across all platforms. But shop expansion has also continued. September 2018 marked the opening of their 250th shop in Kilcullen, County Kildare.

Even more historically, Boylesports now have a United Kingdom shop presence. Independent bookmaker Wilf Gilbert was purchased in the summer of 2019 for an undisclosed fee, with Boylesports now having a 13 shop footprint in the Midlands. Conor Gray has publicly stated that Boylesports will look to continue UK growth in the north of England, and naturally any further expansion will help to also grow the brand online as well. Watch this space.

2020 also saw a further milestone for the Dundalk-based bookmaker. A purchase of 33 shops in Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man from William Hill, has seen Boylesports become the biggest betting shop operator on the island of Ireland, with 298 stores. 39 of them are north of the border.

From a digital perspective Boylesports grows in-tandem with their retail footprint. That makes sense as their brand becomes more well known across both Ireland and now in the United Kingdom. Brand ambassadors such as Kevin Kilbane (Football) and Robbie Power (National Hunt) keep the brand visible across TV and Social Media. Sponsorship of PDC Darts and of Sunderland (in the Premier League) and Birmingham City (in the EFL Championship).

Visitor numbers have undoubtedly grown in-recent times to the Boylesports digital product range. With active user and visitor numbers suggesting that Boylesports are more than a match for well established brands such as Betfred and Coral. Their digital footprint also looks to be growing closer to their Irish compatriots Paddy Power, who have been the Irish No1 bookmaker historically.
