    Nope , I had myself a few bets anyway. You would need to know what you are backing as no access to papers. Just fill slip out at counter.

    Same here. Did bets in it around 1.30, went to collect shortly after 5 and it was closed, with notice up to say it won't be open till the 29th. Obviously the curtain twitchers hadn't gone way. Let them beware - this country has a particular history in dealing with informers! Seriously though, a couple of people at the door of a bookies is a risk while thousands demonstrating in Dublin are deemed to be no danger - spare me!

    Fair play to bar one for trying anyway

    Also their staff are 100% nicer than any other bookie, in Galway anyway

    Ah no, I was hoping Bar One would have the kiosk open to lodge a few euro for a Saturday off and a decent schedule of sport available. Is there definitely no service today?

    If anybody doesn't want to attach an account to their bank account there's a service available in newsagents, much like the old phone credit, just go in and ask for a pay safe and the amount and deposit it on the my account section.

    In case i explained it wrong earlier you don't deposit in the shop like you would in pp. You go in,Ask for a 20 euro pay safe or whatever amount you want.
    Get handed a receipt with a code go onto your my account section on paddy Power, boyles, bet365 whoever, click deposit, and when you see the list of payment methods paysafe will be there. Click it and enter the code on the slip you bought. That's your deposit.

    It must be - the chap who posted it knows what he's talking about, posts a lot in the Horseracing forum and he's not a bullsh1tter.

    Wow, thanks for this.
    Have gone a year or so now with txn showing on my cc by going into PP shop and deposit. But thought I wud have to break that for the 2nd round of PL matches starting on Tuesday. Will try this in local shop.

    It has a search bar to say what shops it's sold, most in my area do it but if you're in a small town there might be only one or 2 shops that do it.

    How do you withdraw using the paysafe card? Does it have to go through your bank a/c from your PP a/c for example

    I only used it once myself and the horse lost so I don't actually know. I'm guessing you can withdraw it through bank or PayPal as normal.

    You have to win first I suspect.

    I got a bit confused with the paysafe thing, think I needed to register as well as buying in the shop. So in the end I just used my credit card for the next round of PL matches starting tonight.

    Damn bookies. Opened up for one day. Just in time for me to put a few bob on City v Arsenal both to score. That went well. And ive been left to stew in misery ever since without a chance of recouping my loss. Farcical carry on in crazy times. Although backing Arsenal to score was probay the most farcical thing of all :)

    I have been using the Pay Safe vouchers since the bookies closed, it's pure handy. I wonder can you withdraw using the PP Cashcard as this was my usual method for depositing/withdrawing cash before the lockdown.
