Ireland’s largest private bookie BoyleSports is up for sale and is sending details through to potential suitors, according to multiple sources.
The mid-sized retail and online gaming operator is looking to sell up, with assets including its approximately 390 shops across the UK and Ireland, and its digital brand.
Any deal would come at a time of uncertainty in both of BoyleSports’ markets, with Ireland currently in the process of regulating its iGaming market while the UK digests the impact of the close to doubling of its online casino tax rate to 40% of GGR.
Prospective buyers would get hold of a major Irish high street brand that could potentially be a local hero for the soon-to-be regulated online market, with the new regulator GRAI currently processing licensing applications.
