Mobile betting apps

iOS – for those not so tech savvy iOS is Apple so if you have an iPhone or iPad you can download the app from your Apple App store. These apps are free to install and only require registration to get started. If you are already a registered member of the brand you download then you can usually use your current logins to get started.

Android – here you need to pay a visit to the Google Play Store, Android devices are very popular and include brands such as Samsung, Huawei, Nokia and Motorola to name a few. Again the apps are free to install and easy to use. If you can’t find the app you are looking for in the store then contact the brand directly for instructions on how to download the app. We have found that Google can be stricter with regards to gambling apps and some of the main online betting houses are not on offer in the Google Play store.

Other Platforms – What! You don’t have an iPhone or Samsung? Who are you even! Just kidding we know some people have smartphones that operate on windows and other platforms. But, you will find it much harder to find a betting app for your device. As time goes by the sports bookies are moving away from supporting these smaller platforms. If you have one of these devices contact the support team of your selected gambling brand and ask them for assistance.
