Mobile or APP - Extended

Choosing to bet with a bookmaker app or a mobile site.

Bookmaker apps are all the rage but mobile sites can also be great for In-Play betting

If you are someone who regularly places bets, the chances are you might have a few bookmaker apps downloaded on your phone.

The bookies love customers downloading the apps as it increases loyalty and also gives them the chance to send push messages about the latest offers ahead of big football matches and race meetings.

BetVictor have a betting app and also something called Instabet which offers customers regular price boosts just before a sporting event is about to take place.

Instabet regularly offers customers the chance to get nice odds but you’re limited by a max stake of around £20 and there’s usually a short time period where the prices are available.

Betting with a mobile site is great from an instant point-of-view rather than have to download the app and waste precious time waiting to land the software on your phone.

However, a mobile site might have an average page load speed slower than an app which has obviously been designed with navigation and speed in mind.

The advantage of apps is that your log-in details can also be remembered on your phone or mobile device so that you can load up the app and literally get your bet placed with a couple of presses on the screen.

As mentioned in another article, we recommend William Hill, Paddy Power and Coral as good bookmaker apps to start you off, while BetVictor are another smart choice, especially with Instabet.
