There are a number of bookmakers now offering mobile betting apps for a variety of different phones… but which is the best betting app?

We’ve conducted detailed reviews of all the top apps available to help you make the decision. Here’s what we came up with:

REVIEW CRITERIA – HOW ARE APPS RATED?

It’s all well and good showing star ratings for each of the betting apps listed above but what do they mean and how did we come up with them?

Well it’s not complicated. We simply used the following four key areas to review and rate the different mobile betting platforms. The combined score in all categories resulted in our overall ranking for each individual application:

NEW CUSTOMER OFFER & PROMOTIONS

Obviously one of the most important areas to look at when rating any online bookmaker, regardless of their app, is what new customer offer they have running and if they have any decent promotions available for loyal customers.

Apps which scored highly in this section had both a strong opening account deal and promotions running alongside. We always prefer the larger offers and the ones which reward customers with the highest percentage bonus wise (e.g. bet £10 get £30 being a 300% bonus).

We’re less keen on risk free bets here, as if you win you don’t really get a bonus, and any bookies not rewarding loyal customers were also scored down.

Acca insurance and best odds guarantees on various different sports were also a big plus point in this section along with any price boosts, weekly free bet clubs or money back specials.

FEATURES

When reviewing each apps individual features we were really looking at in-play betting, cashing out your bets, live streaming and search functionality / navigation options on the app itself.

If apps were easy to use and featured popular markets of a good search function then they scored high but if it was tough to drill down into the markets to find the less popular bets then we marked them down.

Obviously the less of the other features, such as live streaming and cash out, on offer the lower the bookmaker scored. On the flip side if the app offered live streaming of multiple sports alongside in-play betting they scored highly.
