Key Features: Betfred Mobile App

Betfred are an online bookmaker who pride themselves on both their breadth of available betting markets and on the generosity of the odds which they provide, especially when it comes to football betting.

Both of those advantageous traits are carried over to their mobile betting offerings, which allow users of any type of mobile device access to a huge selection of markets across a broad array of different sports. Those markets encompass both pre-event and in-play options and are typically offered at odds which compare very favourably to those offered by Betfred’s major competitors.

Those are just a few of what are a good number of notable features of the mobile app:

• An outstanding selection of different sports from all around the world are catered for and can be found in the A-Z list, which is accessible via one tap from the Betfred app home page.
• In-play betting is available for loads of events across many different sports, each and every day. Those events which do go in-play benefit from live scoring, handy graphics and text commentary of the action as it happens.
• Regular promotions and offers are run by Betfred, some of which are only available to users of the mobile app.
• Live streaming of loads of different sports is available to view via the mobile app for Betfred customers with a funded account. All UK and Irish horse races, what’s more, can be watched by punters who have placed a bet worth at least £1 on the race.
• Virtual sports, the Betfred Casino, Betfred Bingo and the Betfred Live Casino can all be accessed via the menu of the main Betfred Sports mobile app.

Licence & Company Info

In 1967 in Ordsall, Salford Fred and Peter Done opened their first betting shop, and it was from those humble beginnings that the company which would become Betfred began to develop. Initially named Done Bookmakers, the company thrived and grew rapidly to the point that in 2004 it had an estimated turnover of over £3 billion. It was also in that year that the bookmaker underwent a major rebrand, and the current Betfred name was adopted.

Whilst Betfred’s headquarters is in Birchwood in Warrington, the company also has a registered office in Gibraltar. That means that when it comes to catering for punters outside of the UK, Betfred is licensed and regulated by the Gibraltar Government and the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner. As the law requires, however, for offering their services to UK punters Betfred are also licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission.

What Users Think?!

The Betfred app has long been available through the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. That means that there has been ample time for mobile punters to review the app through those two channels and the available reviews give a good insight into what real app users think about Betfred’s mobile offering.

Focussing on the Android version of the app first of all, user reviews posted to the Google Play Store do not paint a particularly positive picture for Betfred. At time of writing, in fact, the app has achieved a paltry rating of two out of five stars and has far more one star reviews than reviews at any other level.

The majority of dissatisfied users cite operational issues with the app, such as frequent crashes, slow running and – in many cases – being blocked from using the app due to it incorrectly claiming that they are not resident in the UK.

Turning to user reviews posted to the Apple App Store, the story is a little more positive for Betfred, but not much. Via that platform, the app has a three out of five star rating but many users have still complained of similar issues to those raised by users of the Betfred android app. Whilst user reviews cannot always be taken as gospel, therefore, the fact that so many reviews of the app mention similar problems is unquestionably worrying.

What We Think?!

Given the somewhat mixed user reviews of the Betfred app, do we agree?

In spite of the practical, operational issues which some users do report having encountered when using the app, there is no question that the features and the overall service offered to mobile customers is a good one.

The Betfred mobile app gives punters access to just as many different sports, events and markets as their desktop website and has easy to understand navigation, which makes it simple to locate and access those different markets. Those markets, too, also benefit from the generally generous odds which Betfred are famous for offering – especially when it comes to football betting.

On top of that, Betfred’s mobile app also includes a comprehensive in-play betting area which hosts loads of in-play events across a wide selection of sports every day. Those in-play events always benefit from an impressive in-play interface with live scoring, graphics and stats, and plenty of them also boast live streams of the action. Those streams are available to Betfred customers with a funded account and as such, are just as easy to view via the mobile app as through the main Betfred website.

Taking all of that into account, therefore, we have awarded Betfred a rating of four out of five stars given the outstanding range of features it offers but still taking into account the glitches and issues reported by regular users.
