About Conor Byrne
Conor started out putting a few euros on the League of Ireland and the club hurling championship before turning that habit into a job: explaining how betting sites actually work so readers do not have to dig through the small print. He reads each operator's terms in full, the welcome offer, the bonus rules and the withdrawal conditions, and looks at the responsible-gambling tools every account should offer: deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion.
He also weighs something a feature list cannot capture: how well a site covers the sport Irish punters follow, from the Premier League and the Champions League to rugby and racing. His rule: an offer is only worth taking once you understand exactly how it works.
