Betting Apps UK

For many online sports betting enthusiasts, it is important to keep up to date with changes in the various tournaments and matches. The best way to do this is to use mobile devices. But it is not always possible to use a laptop or tablet, and the mobile versions of the bookmakers’ official websites require good network access. Therefore, bettors prefer to download betting shops’ mobile apps to their smartphones. Below are descriptions of the applications from the leading domestic bookmakers for Android and iOS that allow betting from a mobile phone.

Registration, authorisation and support

The registration process through the app is simple and does not take much effort. The registration form asks for minimal information.

The main advantage of the app is that you don’t have to sit in front of your computer when you want to play. You can bet wherever you are and whenever you want.

Another important feature is the availability of video broadcasts, as well as the animated visualisation of many events. Sportsbooks prides itself on broadcasting thousands of sporting events every year, via mobile apps and tablets. The only requirement to access the video is a bet made within the last 24 hours, or a deposit into your account. Viewing is easy: when you log in, click the clock icon to see what’s available. Please note that not every event in the game is available for live streaming. Upcoming events are clearly shown, and those available for live streaming are highlighted.

Some of the features available on the Bet365 website are not available via the app. The platform is very different to the PC version of Bet365. However, this is a minor issue given the overall functionality available.
