BoyleSports Review: What Its Prices Cost You Per £100 Staked
This is a price measurement, not a product review. BoyleSports was measured on the same basket as every other book in the August 2026 study — 57 of its match-result markets priced in the capture window — and came out at the dearest end of the ranking — 11.83% margin, £10.58 per £100 staked. Nothing about its app, its offers or its service is measured here.
Commercial relationship. BoyleSports is a commercial partner and the link below is a paid one. Its place in the ranking is set by the measurement and was not adjusted for that.

The margin is the overround: add up the implied probability of every outcome in a market and a fair book totals 100%. BoyleSports totalled 111.83% on average, and that surplus is the charge. Expressed against your stake rather than against the fair book it comes to £10.58 per £100 — the two figures measure the same thing from different ends, which is why both are printed rather than one.
In this window the keenest book measured £5.67 per £100 and the dearest £10.58. BoyleSports sat £4.91 above the keenest end and nothing below it. The book immediately keener was Virgin Bet.
BoyleSports odds by competition
The same operator, the same window, 5 different answers — 7.80 points between BoyleSports’s own best and worst. A margin is not one number an operator sets; it is set market by market.
| Competition | Margin | Cost per £100 | Against its own average |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATP Canadian Open | 5.93% | £5.60 | -5.90 |
| Premier League | 12.30% | £10.95 | +0.47 |
| League Two | 13.53% | £11.92 | +1.70 |
| League One | 13.67% | £12.03 | +1.84 |
| Championship | 13.73% | £12.07 | +1.90 |
BoyleSports priced ATP Canadian Open most keenly at 5.93% and Championship least keenly at 13.73%, a span of 7.80 points between its own best and worst competition. A bettor who only ever backed ATP Canadian Open would therefore pay a different price at this operator than one who only ever backed Championship, without either of them doing anything differently.
That span is the widest of the 18 books measured, and it is worth more than the headline figure. An average built from a keen competition and a dear one describes neither of them, so the row that matters is the one covering what you actually bet on.
It also produced the single dearest competition figure anywhere in this window: 13.73% on Championship.
What an 11.83% margin costs over a year
BoyleSports charges 11.83% on turnover, not on deposits. Stake the same pound twice and it is charged twice, which is what turns a small percentage into a yearly figure.
| Staked in a year | Cost at 11.83% | At the keenest measured | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| £1,000 | £106 | £57 | £49 |
| £5,000 | £529 | £284 | £245 |
| £20,000 | £2,116 | £1,134 | £982 |
These are arithmetic on the measured margin, not a prediction about anyone’s results. What happens to individual bets is a separate matter entirely; the margin is the part that is known in advance and charged whatever happens.
The third column is the same turnover at the keenest margin in this window, Betfred. At £5,000 staked the gap is £245 a year — worth setting against whatever the sign-up offer is worth, because one is charged every year and the other arrives once.

BoyleSports is a brand, not a licensee. The Commission licenses Boylesports Enterprise under account 39469 for remote betting on real events, and every price measured on this page was published under that licence. The account has held it since November 2014.
The same account carries 20 further active domains outside this study, the largest estate on any single licence measured here: bingo.boylesports.com, boylebingo.com, boylecasino.com, boylegames.com, boylelotto.com, boylepoker.com, boylevegas.com, casino.boylesports.com, games.boylesports.com, livecasino.boylesports.com, lotto.boylesports.com, mbingo.boylesports.com, mcasino.boylesports.com, mgames.boylesports.com, mlivecasino.boylesports.com, mlotto.boylesports.com, mobile.boylesports.com, mvegas.boylesports.com, poker.boylesports.com, vegas.boylesports.com. What sits behind each of those is not something we measure; they are listed because the licence is the part of a brand’s ownership that is public, and the rest of it generally is not.
BoyleSports on the Gambling Commission’s register
The Commission’s register of regulatory actions currently lists nothing against Boylesports Enterprise. That is what the register shows on the date we checked it, 7 August 2026, and not a judgement about the operator: matters age off the register over time, and an absence today is not a guarantee about the past.
Where an operator in this study does carry an action, it is printed on its own page with the date and the published outcome, whether or not we earn from it.
Where BoyleSports sits in the study
18 of 18 puts BoyleSports in the dearest third of the table. That is one capture window, one market type and 5 competitions, so it is a finding about this sample rather than a verdict on the operator. A different basket would produce a different order, and saying so is not a hedge — it is what the method page commits us to.
The full table, exchanges included, is on the register; how the figure is calculated is on the method page.

Questions about BoyleSports
What margin did BoyleSports charge?
11.83% across the 57 match-result markets we sampled on 7 August 2026, which works out at £10.58 per £100 staked. That is one capture window on one market type and is not a statement about its prices today.
Is BoyleSports cheap or expensive compared to other bookmakers?
It was the dearest of the 18 bookmakers in this sample, at £10.58 per £100 staked against £5.67 at the keenest end — £4.91 more on every £100 put through.
Is BoyleSports licensed in Great Britain?
Yes. The Gambling Commission licenses Boylesports Enterprise under account 39469, licence 039469-R-319383-024, held since November 2014 and active when we checked the public register. BoyleSports is a brand operated under that licence, not a licensee in its own right.
Who actually operates BoyleSports?
Boylesports Enterprise. The Commission lists 20 other active domains against that account, none of them measured in this study.
Does BoyleSports have a regulatory record?
Nothing is currently listed against Boylesports Enterprise on the Commission’s register of regulatory actions. That is a statement about what the register shows today, not a clean bill of health for all time — matters age off the register over time.
Does the margin apply to every market at BoyleSports?
No. These are match-result markets across 5 competitions. Within that sample its keenest competition was ATP Canadian Open at 5.93% and its dearest was Championship at 13.73%, a span of 7.80 points. Other market types are not measured here at all.
What does an 11.83% margin cost over a year?
At £5,000 staked across a year, roughly £529. The margin is charged on turnover, not on deposits, so it recurs on every bet rather than once — which is why it can outweigh a welcome offer several times over.
Do you earn money if I use BoyleSports?
Yes. BoyleSports is a commercial partner and the link on this page is a paid one. Its position in the ranking is set by the measurement and is not adjusted for that, which is why partners appear across the table rather than at the top of it.
Can I check these figures myself?
Yes, and that is the intention. The formula, the basket, the exclusion rules and the test vectors are published on the method page, and the odds calculator runs the same arithmetic on any prices you enter. The figures here are ours and can be wrong; where a check shows they are, they change.
