Betting Apps vs Mobile Betting
There are two main ways to bet on a smartphone. The first
is by accessing a 5️⃣ bookmaker through your regular browser (e.g. Safari or Google
Chrome). The second is by downloading an app. Is there any 5️⃣ real difference? Is one
better than the other? In truth, there are pros and cons to both but overall, we
5️⃣ recommend downloading a betting app if you are intending to make regular bets.
Cons of
Betting with Sport Betting Apps
While there 5️⃣ are many advantages to betting with an app,
one question should be taken into account, namely:
Do you have enough storage 5️⃣ on your
smartphone?
For models which only offer 16GB or 32GB, squeezing all your apps, photos
and videos onto one device 5️⃣ can be tricky. This is a very real concern for some users,
and one possible reason against using bookmakers’ apps 5️⃣ when they have a perfectly good
mobile site which serves the same purpose.
Cons of Betting via Browser
There are some
significant 5️⃣ cons to using a browser to visit iPhone sports betting sites, too. If you
use a browser to visit your 5️⃣ favourite sports betting site you could run into the
following issues:
No access to exclusive in-app offers
Unable to access all betting
5️⃣ features
Slower loading time than app
Mobile optimisation issues
If you’re only
intending to use a bookie one time, it makes sense to 5️⃣ access it through a browser.
There’s not much point in downloading betting apps for Android or iOS only to delete 5️⃣ it
a few minutes later – unless you’re doing so to access a specific bonus.
So, in these
cases, it’s often 5️⃣ prudent to visit a betting site via a browser. For instance, let’s
say you see a welcome offer for a 5️⃣ bookie you don’t really like. You may want to sign up
just to take advantage of the bonus. This is 5️⃣ the perfect time to access the bookies via
your mobile browser.
If you’re in a hurry – for, say, a live 5️⃣ in-play bet on the footie
– it’s much quicker to fire up an existing app than it is to visit 5️⃣ a website. Trust us,
we know how frustrating it can be to see betting opportunities disappear because it
took too 5️⃣ long to log in to a website and navigate to the betting market that you’re
interested in.
Most bookies have mobile-optimised 5️⃣ websites, but not all. If your one
doesn’t, it could be tricky navigating the site. And you might not even 5️⃣ have access to
all of the same features you would on the app.
Making deposits and withdrawals is also
much easier 5️⃣ on an app. This is one area which can be particularly fiddly using a
browser – and certainly an area 5️⃣ where an incorrect click could be costly. When using an
app, generally these features are made bigger so it’s easy 5️⃣ for you to click through.
