Best 25 betting apps

BetFred

The main features of the BetFred betting app, the former brick-and-mortar British bookmaker, are in the action line they offer for customers. They have an extensive selection of betting markets: about 30 sports, including some niche disciplines like Gaelic Football, Darts, Snooker, and Specials and Politics betting sections. Many events are represented in live-betting lines, and there are daily events you can bet on in the in-play betting, which include graphical hints and commentaries. Besides, live streams are available right in the app if you purchase a premium account.

App users have access to specific special promotions, for instance, £60 free bet for the first bet of £10.

To make the review complete and unbiased, we must mention drawbacks, too: according to a pretty significant number of studies, the app regularly crashes down and, what seems more disturbing to us, blocks the users from not being non-UK residents, even if it is not valid. There are complaints about these two issues for both app versions: in the AppStore and GooglePlay. However, we found no more significant problems.

William Hill

William Hill is a very well-known betting company that gained a solid reputation in the gambling market, and their app is a mobile version of the traditional desktop website. What is the most advantageous in wagering with William Hill? First of all, it is William Hill promotions they give for races: three-bet boosts are provided daily on horse racing. Another perk is the Your Odds function that works as simple as just tweeting a betting offer with William Hill mentioned. They promise to provide the tweet authors with a special price for betting on the chosen event.

Acca Freedom is another lovely thing: when you put accumulator bets, you can get a cashback from the lost wagers up to £20.

Overall, the app is very generous in terms of odds for major events, especially related to the top leagues and bonuses.

Unfortunately, there are common bugs and crashes; according to various feedback, both Google and Apple versions work poorly sometimes. However, after checking the history of the app updates, we see that they fix the issues regularly, so we probably need to give them more time to make the app work as fine as their desktop website does.

Bet365 App

Bet365 is another leader in the sports betting and gambling industry. Being approved by the UK Gambling Commission, this company gets their default trust points, but there is much more they can offer in terms of betting experience.

Among their advantages are the vast selection of banking options and high-level customer support with helpful and well-trained agents.

The collection of markets and a range of odds is better than average, so no wonder the site and the app are so popular among customers worldwide. What could be improved, though? Bet365 is not too generous in terms of special promotions for app users, and it would be great if they offer cash-out options for more events.

The main issue the customers complain about is the restrictions for betting limits and account suspensions. It is evidently done for the sake of safety, but they tend to treat winning punters way too strictly.

Bwin

Bwin has managed to create a very decent betting platform with casino and poker sections, too. Their app is highly valued by customers for its customizable layout, allowing you to create your feed with favorite sports and leagues and add other settings to have convenient betting space. They are pretty competitive in terms of odds, and it is particularly noted by the horse racing enthusiasts who are guaranteed to receive the best odds for races. Besides, there are no problems with deposits and withdrawals: you can use credit and debit cards, Neteller, Skrill, PayPal, PaySafeCard, and Wire Transfers. ApplePay is also available.

The app works fine, so there are no major technical issues. However, they could have offered better promotions for newly registered customers.

888Sport

888Sport is an easy-to-use app featuring convenient design and a range of exclusive bonuses for app users.

It will be an excellent option for the live betting fans:

they provide you with graphical visualization of the matches and allow you to cash out till the very end of an event.

Besides, they give very competitive odds for the events involving the teams they are in partnership with, for instance, Shamrock Rovers Football Club and Cardiff City FC. Overall, their primary focus is soccer, but the horse racing punters get a special perk which is live streaming of all UK and Ireland races.

The app is trusted and legal; sometimes, its speed leaves room for improvement, but lags are not typical for 888Sport, so it is not likely to turn on you at the crucial moment.

Ladbrokes

Ladbrokes is one of the oldest bookmakers in the market, and they also feature casino games on their website and app. Besides the fact you can trust a bookmaker existing for more than ten years, you will be pleased to see that they make efforts to stay in tune with modern trends. The app is convenient for even beginning bettors, and the best feature they realized is the live streaming of events right inside the app.

Another thing we like is how they designed a bet slip: you can choose from the most popular bet amount to place a wager in one click.

If you opt for live betting, you will be pleased to act quickly.

We found a few severe complaints about Ladbrokes; they are related to the account suspensions after making their bets. However, we could go deeper into the cases because the members did not get back to us with any updates regarding the problem. The other disadvantages include lack of lucrative bonuses and sometimes slow speed of the app. Besides, the app consumes too much power, so make sure you can charge your phone on the go when you use Ladbrokes.

Colossus Bet

One of the main perks of the Colossus Bet app is the Syndicates function that allows you to crowdfund tickets into the betting pools. The pools are the jackpot prize amounts Colossus gives away. This is a different way of sports betting that is more about gambling than skills and analysis, but it gives you a chance to win impressive amounts. You can join betting pools even free of charge with regular special offers, so it is a curious experience for those who are a bit bored of standard wagering.

However, it offers a brand new approach; they do not embrace such latest fashions like eSports; besides, you will not find live betting markets here.

In addition, customer support of Colossus is not available round the clock.

Still, we did not find any significant complaints about their performance, so it is possible to hope they will develop to add more functions and broaden users’ opportunities.

Coral Sports and Casino App

As you see from the name, it is a betting platform with traditional casinos and live games. They give a lot for punters: from an excellent welcome offer to lucrative regular bonuses and more — let’s see in more detail.

As soon as you download the app via AppStore or GooglePlay, you receive £20 in free bets: four times £5 per bet from £5.

You can also choose the other betting options: for instance, there is a £50 prize for the correct prediction of four match statistics. Besides, there are Acca bonuses, bet builders where you create your personal bets, and cashback for lost horse racing bets. Talking of horse racing, Coral guarantees you the best odds for all racing events within the UK and Ireland; the same is claimed about greyhound racing. In-play bettors will be pleased to access the live streaming function for all horse races within the United Kingdom, a range of greyhound racings, major football events like La Liga and Serie A. Plus, and even some niche sports, for instance, darts.

We have thoroughly explored the customer’s reviews and have noticed that it takes Coral more than average time for verifying accounts and providing customers with withdrawals. There was also a range of complaints about the customer support: even though they reply fast, they could have been trained better.

10Bet

There are three main reasons why you should choose 10Bet:

• Fast withdrawals
• A good selection of live markets with decent odds
• A nice choice of banking methods

Let’s be more precise about each point: you can bet on more than 60,000 events per month and about 25,000 in-play betting markets.

Streams are available for all British customers if their betting deposit is at least £1.

To create a deposit, you can use Visa credit cards, Neteller, Skrill, and PayPal. Among the other features, there are cash-outs or partial cashouts.

While testing the 10Bet sports betting app, we did not face any issues. However, after checking comments in AppStore and GooglePlay, we found out that several customers complained about constant crashes. There are no other significant issues so that we can recommend it with a safe conscience.

Paddy Power

This is one of the highest-rated sports apps in AppStore. They have their best features for customers from Great Britain and Ireland but still have things to offer to the punters worldwide. They have a range of solid sides that distinguish Paddy Power from their opponents. For example, we’d give it high scores for its convenient, comprehensive design, including a quick and easy search of markets by titles, venues, players, or keywords. When it comes to the betting process, punters have very lucrative options, for example, Same Game Multi: you can wager on several outcomes within one game and place them as a single bet.

You also have access to the live streaming function, and the selection of games here is excellent:

• approximately 100,000 events,
• including niche sports like Snooker.

The app has no issues related to betting markets, customer support, or withdrawals. However, some users complain about technical problems that arise from time to time: slow performance and crashes.

Quinnbet App

What we particularly liked about the Quinnbet betting app is its payout percentage. Their margins vary from 4% to 10%, which is a pretty good bellwether; you will find the highest odds for soccer events. Being another app focused on the British market, it gives one of the broadest betting selections and highest odds for the horse races. The app is easy to navigate, and combined with high-quality customer support; it deserves to be among the top betting apps of 2021.

There are a few things that can be disappointing: Quinn Bet App does not feature live streaming, and there are not so many payment options to choose from. Another important note is that being a single-licensed sports betting provider working under the UK Gambling Commission license, the app is available exclusively for British and Irish bettors.

Novibet App

Covering all major sports, including horse racing, eSports, and twenty-two sports overall, Novibet managed to gain a lot of positive feedback from British punters. Virtual sports are also here, and the lines are deep enough for most bettors looking for a fine selection of options and diversity.

Their markets are pretty comprehensive, and making bets is more accessible with their statistics section created especially for faster research on the required games and teams.

There is a good choice of banking methods, including PaySafeCard, Trustly, and PayPal. Another good thing we appreciated a lot is quick and helpful customer support, available 24/7 and featuring friendly and helpful staff.

Bettors can use a range of profitable promotions, including the welcome bonus coming as a free bet, regular boosts, and the Rewards program; if you prefer betting in the live mode, you have a cash-out function for most games.

The app’s overall performance is very smooth; it could be nicer if they offered any special mobile bonuses.

SBK App

You can bet on around 25 sports with the SBK app: not the most comprehensive choice among the sports betting platforms overall, but you still have a selection of the most popular sports leagues and niche sports, too. They cover sports worldwide, so there are markets for:

• European soccer,
• American football,
• basketball,
• baseball,
• and sports like Aussie Rules.

There are several exciting and pretty unique features you can find at SBK. One of them is the betting tips, where members can publish their predictions and tips; each poster has their rating, so the others see how reliable their recommendations are. Being powered by Smarkets, the SBK app is able to provide higher odds than many of its competitors, so if you bet for profit, you will mostly like to find a good value at SBK’s lines. However, you can still cash out until the end of the game if you think you made a mistake.

We did not find significant drawbacks in the app at the moment. We have to mention that SBK has not been on the betting market for a long time now, so it did not have time to gain much trust, so we will monitor their development to see if they can maintain the same quality.

TonyBet App

TonyBet App features three licenses from three different jurisdictions: Great Britain, Estonia, and Denmark. Bettors rate is relatively high for massive action lines in the sportsbook, convenient layout allowing you to track your bets and search for required markets at ease.

An excellent welcome bonus of a 100% match to the first deposit with adequate wagering requirements.

TonyBet has the best odds for soccer and basketball, but offers for the other sports are also competitive.

You can choose from several banking methods; the selection not the richest ones, but the most popular ones, including international e-wallets, are here. Important note: you can only withdraw your winnings using the same method you chose to deposit. This policy can not be called a convenient one, but you have no choice here. Bonuses of TonyBet are more aimed at their casino gamblers, but you can still claim weekly cashback for lost bets in the sportsbook.

Generally, the app is a good choice for on-the-go betting. The only major drawback is the lack of any means for contacting the customer service except the Contact Us form.

Sports Nation App

The app combines all sorts of online gambling: from sports betting to live dealer casino games. Being regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, they provide their services all around Europe with a range of limitations.

You can bet on more than 20 sports, but the app significantly lacks options for live betting.

However, you have access to live streams, including horse racing and a range of other perks. Among the most attractive features, we can highlight the Rewards program that gives you reward points for all bets you make, weekly free bets, and access to very high odds provided by traders.

Sport Nation is not the best choice in terms of banking options selection: if you need anything besides credit cards, Trustly, Skrill, Neteller, Boku, and ApplePay, you might not be delighted with their deposit and withdrawal solutions. Another concern is the technical issues that arise from time to time: some users complain about the app lagging and crashing, even though the overall rating is quite acceptable. It seems they have managed to create a better native app for iOS, as iPhone owners speak better of Sports Nation.

Bet Victor App

Bet Victor Sportsbook is another double-licensed company. Registered both in Gibraltar and the United Kingdom, they can embrace quite a big customer pool and provide them with a large variety of betting options, including an excellent selection of live markets. Like Premier League or NBA finals, the major events have exclusive offers in terms of odds, and the betting options for most games are also extensive: from standard money lines to various props. The list of markets you can bet on inside the app includes soccer, American football, basketball, MMA, Gaelic Football, Motor Racing, Ice Hockey, Water Polo, Horse Racing, and other popular and niche sports, so the coverage is on the decent level. Among the main features are the Best Odds Guaranteed for the UK and Ireland races, Pick Your Punt function allowing you to request the odds for your personal bets, and a Betfinder that helps punters to choose the best horse for placing a stake. We found the best perk is the availability of Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals, which compensates for quite a poor banking options list.

Play App

Mr. Play is a relatively new app that was primarily an online casino; they added betting markets later. It is actually a white-label product, so you will not find anything very exclusive in terms of betting options or markets. However, if you love betting on soccer or basketball, you will be happy to find offers with about 5%-7% margin for the biggest European soccer events; they offer approximately the same values for tennis and NBA.

Thus, being quite average in terms of coverage, Mr. Play is willing to give you competitive odds.

Besides, you will most likely appreciate the app’s design which is pretty intuitive even for beginning punters, live markets with more than 100 events to bet on, and cash-out features for most games.

There are still things to improve: customer support is only available through certain operation hours, and live chat is the only contacting form at the moment. The lack of round-the-clock service is not the most attractive thing in the modern world, so we can only hope they will change it for the better.

Unibet App

Unibet is considered one of the top modern betting brands in Great Britain, and their betting app meets the different levels of bettors’ needs. They have a plethora of markets, the small part of the selection includes Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, La Liga, Serie A, NBA, Cheltenham Festival, All-Weather Racing – Kempton, Wolverhampton, Newcastle, Lingfield, Chelmsford, Southwell, The Masters, The Open, The PGA Championship, Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, eSports, and many more. The other strong sides are the comprehensive layout, fast withdrawals, and NBA lives streaming. The customer support is very well-trained, and the whole app’s performance does not have any significant pitfalls.

Betfair App

Betfair is a very well-known sports betting exchange and a bookmaker. They evidently put a lot of effort into delivering a high-quality mobile betting experience with their Android and iOS app. Navigation and layout are hard to fault, and the same can be said about their betting options. The most attractive things you can get with the Betfair app are the fair cashouts, daily promotions like double odds on winning goalscorer bets, and Acca edge, which implies you can cash out part of your accumulator bet.

Besides, customers note fast withdrawals even if the amounts are relatively significant.

A thing that might seem inconvenient is that Betfair has two different apps for iPhone and iPad, while the majority of the iOS developers do not divide their products by the device type compatibility. However, the iPad app works smoothly, too.

22 Bet App

22 Bet App is a trusted place for sports betting: it is registered under Curacao License and performs as an independent bookmaker in a wide range of countries, including Nigeria, Kenya, and Tanzania, where they work with the local license. They are primarily famous for their high live betting odds and an average 5% margin for in-play betting, a huge range of deposit methods, and various betting options. Besides, you can watch live streams right inside the apps and receive your winning funds very quickly in comparison to many other apps.

The app’s overall performance meets modern standards:

1. no major crashes appear,
2. and the app does not require much space on your smartphone’s memory.

Users, however, note that betting on Asian Handicaps is not very profitable with the 22 Bet App, and the regular pre-match betting odds are often above average. Besides, Curacao is not the most trusted gambling regulator, even though their licenses are accepted worldwide and give you a minimum basic security level.

Spin Sports App

Spin Sports provides the users with a complete set of betting markets, including such rare sports like Kayaking, Gaelic Football, or Curling, and of course, all major events in Soccer, Tennis, Basketball, MMA, and other events. Not only do they give competitive odds for the popular matches, but they also satisfy an eye with intelligent and convenient design.

One of their strongest sides is their eSports markets, full of lucrative offers for CS: GO, Dota 2, and Fortnite.

The three primary reasons you should choose Spin Sports are their promotions coming as free bets or special deals on specific events, the way the app looks and works, and the selection of betting markets that can be compared with such giants as William Hill or Unibet. However, you must be prepared to charge your phone more often than usual if you use Spin Sports during the whole day: it is very energy-consuming.

Matchbook

You can bet and trade with Matchbook online sportsbook: this is an old and respected betting exchange featuring a modern betting app with a range of various promotions for different sports. Their main perks are mobile live streaming, fast, easy and profitable in-play betting, and access to exchange via the app. European users, who are the primary customer base, will hardly experience any problems with choosing convenient deposit options from credit cards, PaySafeCard, Neteller, and Skrill, even though we prefer a more comprehensive selection of banking methods. Their choice of markets can not be named poor, but it is definitely not the biggest one in the industry. If we compare them to the Unibet, their primary opponents, 22 Bet, are focused on beginners and recreational bettors more, while Unibet is the platform for professional high-rollers.

Sporting Index

Sporting Index is regarded as the best platform for spread betting, and it is actually the oldest provider of its kind. In 2012, they launched native iOS and Android apps. From the technical and visual points of view, Sporting Index is a convenient modern app, optimized for all types of modern screens and working fast.

The main features of Sporting Index include the referral program that gives both sides a £25 free bet, cashback, and £75 free bet for spread betting as a welcome bonus.

You can also visit their training center to get a better idea of spread betting before you wager using your real money deposits.

We found a range of complaints about withdrawal delays; however, we also noted that the company quickly reacts to any kind of feedback and at least tries to be helpful in case of issues.

BetBull App

BetBull offers its betting platforms exclusively in the app so that users can expect much of its functionality. It is available in Google Play and AppStore with a minimal difference; however, the one for iOS requires much more space.

BetBull combines top popular sports markets with specific titles, which makes it a pretty universal platform for all types of bettors globally.

In-play betting also exists at BetBull, but no live streaming is available at the moment.

There are some unique features at BetBull: for instance, they publish a leaderboard with top-bettors and their rankings, give special rewards to the best players, and allow posting tips, predictions, enabling communication between the gamblers making the app look more like a social network. Besides such features, you have 24/7 access to the customer service agents’ chats.

Suppose you like to mix your betting experience with traditional casino gaming. In that case, you might be disappointed by the absence of card, table, and live dealer games, but if you look for wagering on sports exclusively, you will hardly find significant drawbacks in the app.

NetBet App

NetBet sportsbook is a Maltese company existing since 2001, which makes them a trusted and reliable bookmaker. They offer good lines for many pre-match markets to choose from the most familiar sports and leagues and find some exclusive offers, like Cricket and Badminton. The reason why we can recommend NetBet is their unique mobile app sign-up bonus: a £10 free bet coming with the first wager, comprehensive and intuitive layout, and competitive odds for the major markets.

Though you must know that NetBet’s customer support is not available 24/7, and you will not find live streaming options with them.
