Punchestown Festival Betting Offers
The Punchestown Festival is five days in late April and early May that close the Irish jumps season, often called Ireland's answer to the Cheltenham Festival, with twelve Grade 1 races across the week headed by the Punchestown Gold Cup.
Like our Leopardstown hub, this page lists only the bookmakers we partner with that hold a licence on the Irish register kept by the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI), which a remote bookmaker needs to take bets from customers in Ireland.
One thing to know before you claim. The offer cards show each operator's UK welcome offer. Customers in Ireland sign up with the operator's Irish business, the company named in the register table, and its welcome offer and terms can differ from the UK ones. Check the offer on the operator's Irish site before you deposit. Spreadex is the exception that states it outright: its welcome offer is open to new customers in Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland.
For dates and the racing, see our Punchestown Festival hub.
18+. New customers only unless stated. Significant terms apply to every offer on this page. Bet responsibly: BeGambleAware.org in the UK, GamblingCare.ie in Ireland.
Which Bookmakers Hold an Irish Licence
We read the GRAI's public register of business-to-consumer licences on 9 October (last updated on 6 October, according to the register) and looked for the company behind each of our partners:
| Partner | Company on the GRAI register | Listed |
|---|---|---|
| Star Sports | Star Racing Limited | Yes |
| William Hill | WH Ireland Limited | Yes |
| QuinnBet | QuinnBet (Gibraltar) Limited | Yes |
| LiveScore Bet | LiveScore Betting and Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited | Yes |
| BetGoodwin | Goodwin Racing Limited | Yes |
| 10bet | Blue Star Planet Limited | Yes |
| Spreadex | Spreadex Ltd | Yes |
| Kwiff | Kwiff Limited | Listed, not yet matched to the brand |
| Betfred | Not found | No |
| HighBet | Not found (its UK licensee is SCGO Limited) | No |
| PricedUp | Not found (its UK licensee is Off Course Bookmakers Limited) | No |
| Fruity King | Not found (its UK licensee is ProgressPlay Limited) | No |
| BetTom | Not found (its UK licensee is Bet Tom Limited) | No |
"Not found" means the company was not on the register's business-to-consumer list on that date. The register is updated regularly, so we re-check it before the meeting. Betfred is not on it and is left off this page; Kwiff is listed as Kwiff Limited, a different company from its UK business, and stays off the offers until we confirm the match.

- BetGoodwin: BOG on UK and Irish horse and greyhound racing, capped per bet.
- LiveScore Bet: BOG on UK and Irish racing from 10am, once you have staked a set amount with them over the previous seven days.
- Star Sports: no BOG.
- William Hill: BOG made invitation-only, according to its help pages at our July check.
Ante-post bets are excluded from BOG at all of them.
