Best Betting Apps UK Reviewed
Here, we've broken the best betting apps down into popular categories. Read on to find out more details about 2024's best bet apps.
Best Betting App For Football Betting: bet365
Best Features: bet365's live streaming service makes it one of the best apps to bet with. Football matches are streamed from the likes of Serie A, the Bundesliga and the FA Cup. Football fans will also love bet365's 2 Goals Ahead Early Payout and Bore Draw Money Back offers.
Biggest Negatives: There is no VIP programme, although you can enjoy lots of weekly promos.
Alternative: Bet UK
Our View: bet365 boasts the best football betting app we've come across. We took advantage of early payouts when our team went two goals ahead and money back when we bet on a match and it ended 0-0. There are also acca boosts of up to 70%, along with an industry-leading live football betting section.
Established 2001
#ad. 18+. Gamble Responsibly. Gambleaware.org. Available to new customers only. Make a qualifying deposit of £5* or more and claim the offer within 30 days of registering your account to qualify for a 100% matched amount in Bet Credits, up to a maximum of £50*. Once claimed, your Bet Credits will be held in your account balance and are non-withdrawable.
Our Expert Michael Butlin's Opinion:
"Whether I'm placing a weekend accumulator or having a flutter on a big Champions League tie, bet365 is my go-to football betting app.
"The in-app experience is great, thanks to a user-friendly layout, but most importantly the bet365 app always has great football odds and a huge selection of betting offers.
"I'm particularly fond of bet365's early payout deal which pays out my bet as a winner if the team I've backed goes two goals ahead. I've won a few accas thanks to this offer, which I would have lost in normal circumstances."
Best Betting App For Horse Racing Betting: BetGoodwin
Best Features: BetGoodwin offers a great range of horse racing promotions and free horse racing bets. Punters get best odds guaranteed on all UK and Irish races, along with several money-back specials, including if your runner is beaten by a nose or by a horse priced at 50/1 or bigger.
Biggest Negatives: There's no acca insurance promo available here.
Alternative: Betway
Our View: We reckon BetGoodwin is one of the best horse racing betting sites in the business and the betting app also lives up to that billing. As well as BOG and money-back offers, you have live streaming, so you can watch all the big UK and Irish races on the app.
Established 2021
#ad. 18+. Gamble Responsibly. Gambleaware.org. New Customers only. Must have a minimum of 3 bets of £10 or more on separate events at odds of evens (2.0) or bigger on first day. First day losses equals all settled stakes less all returns. T&C's apply.
Best Pool Betting App: Tote
Best Features: The Tote pool betting app often provides better payouts than fixed-odds apps. With pools betting, you claim a chunk of the money wagered on a race or event if you're successful, which can sometimes result in tidy profits.
Biggest Negatives: You cannot place fixed-odds bets at the Tote.
Alternative: William Hill
Our View: The Tote is the household name when it comes to pools betting and their bet app is a useful tool in the back pocket of any racing punter. There are also great fantasy racing games available at the Tote where you build a stable of horses and earn points based on their results.
Established 1929
#ad. 18+. Gamble Responsibly. Gambleaware.org. New customers online only. Eligibility restrictions apply. Only valid with code B10G40 on registration. £10 min qualifying bet at 1/1 (2.0) odds or greater across sports or racing (if EW then min £10 Win + £10 Place). Receive £20 Tote Credit, £10 Free Sports Bet and 50 Free Spins on Big Bass Bonanza within 48 hours of qualifying bet settlement. 7-day expiry on free bets & Tote Credit. Your first bet will be your qualifying bet. One per customer. UK & ROI customers only. Full T&Cs apply.
Best Betting App For Accumulators: BoyleSports
Best Features: BoyleSports has one of the best apps to bet on accumulators with. The app features free acca bets, acca boosts and acca insurance, with the same promotions also often applying to bet builders.
Biggest Negatives: The sign-up bonus has higher minimum odds requirements (evens) than some rival apps.
Alternative: 10bet
Our View: The BoyleSports betting app is well worth downloading if, like us, you're a fan of a weekend accumulator. We got a free £5 acca for every five accumulators placed and had the option to personalise our offers by choosing between profit boosts or insurance. The fact that they are also one of the few £5 deposit betting sites and betting apps is also a plus.
Established 2007
#ad. 18+. Gamble Responsibly. Gambleaware.org. New UK customers (Excluding NI) only. £40 in FREE Bets (FB) as £30 in sports bets & a £10 casino bonus (CB). Min Deposit £10. Min stake £10. Min odds Evs. FB applied on 1st settlement of any qualifying bet. FB 7-day expiry. 1 FB offer per customer, household & IP address only. Account & Payment restrictions. 14 days to accept £10 CB, then active for 3 days. CB 5x wagering & max redeemable £100. Game restrictions apply. Cashed out/Free Bets won't apply. 30 days to qualify. 18+. T&Cs Apply
Our Expert Kevin Taylor's Opinion:
"The BoyleSports betting app is my #1 choice whenever I'm placing an accumulator as I can choose whether to boost or insure my accas.
"I seem to 'hit the crossbar' quite a bit, with one leg of my acca letting me down, so it's nice to at least get my money back as a free bet in this scenario to soften the blow!"
Best Betting App Welcome Offer: Spreadex
Best Features: Spreadex is known for its market-leading spread betting app but also offers fixed-odds options. With the Bet £10 Get £40 welcome bonus, new customers can get £20 in fixed-odds free bets and £20 free spread bets.
Biggest Negatives: Spread betting carries more risk, so proceed with caution if inexperienced.
Alternative: Ladbrokes
Our View: The welcome bonus from this betting app is unique, as you can test out two completely different types of betting. We enjoyed having our winnings determined by the accuracy of our wager with spread bets, rather than the usual win-or-lose scenario.
Established 1999
#ad. 18+. Gamble Responsibly. Gambleaware.org. Spread betting losses can exceed deposit. Plus Best Odds On All Premier League Matches(fixed odds Match Odds, pre-match v top 5 bookies on Oddschecker). See full details.
Our Expert Diarmuid Nolan's Opinion:
"The instant withdrawal feature sets Spreadex apart as a top choice for me, as I like to collect my winnings with no delay.
"I find the Spreadex app easy to navigate and I'm always impressed by the variety of betting offers available. The welcome offer, for example, is one of the best around.
"Punters who might be new to spread betting will be helped out by Spreadex's high-quality customer service team."

The following are some more of the best betting apps in the UK, based on user ratings from the Apple App and Google Play stores.

BetMGM - Google Play Store Rating: 4.3/5 Apple App Store Rating: 4.8/5
BetMGM recently launched a new UK betting app that already has a sophisticated interface. That's probably down to the app's success in the US prior to its launch on this side of the pond. Most reviewers who give this app five stars point to its ease of use when compared to other betting apps. They are also considered to be one of the best PayPal betting sites and betting apps, while also accepting a wide range of different payment methods.
For those betting app users looking for a generous welcome promo, the BetMGM sign up offer of bet £10 get £40 in free bets is one of the best around.

Fast, user-friendly betting apps allow you to place bets with ease. Speed and accessibility are especially vital when it comes to in-play betting, as you sometimes need to place your bets quickly before the odds change.
User Feedback
Along with conducting our own reviews, we take into account what bettors are saying about bet apps. It's always worth studying the Apple App Store and Google Play Store ratings and comments, to find out what punters think. The customer usually knows best!
Reliability
Reliability is very important when choosing a betting app. We've come across apps that are slow, clunky and prone to crashing. Needless to say, unreliable betting apps don't make our list of recommendations.
Customer Support
The best betting apps provide 24/7 customer support. You should be able to quickly start a live chat within the app and support agents should respond without delay. Some apps offer over-the-phone support and email contact options as well.
Payment Options
A range of convenient banking options should be available. Visa and MasterCard debit payments should be accepted by all betting apps. We also like to see PayPal and e-wallets like Skrill catered to.
Payout Speeds
Withdrawal speeds are another important consideration. Some betting apps offer instant payouts directly to your bank account, while others may take a couple of days. Those that keep you waiting for several days are less appealing.
Welcome Offer
The most attractive betting app welcome offers only require you to risk a modest amount of your own money to unlock free bets. They also come with simple wagering requirements.
Regular Promotions
The best betting apps offer a variety of regular promotions after you've signed up. Look out for apps with regular free bets, odds boosts, acca promotions, money-back specials and best odds guaranteed.
Betting Odds
Sports betting apps aren't worth downloading unless they have attractive odds. We compare the odds across a range of sports and markets when reviewing and ranking apps.
Market Coverage
The best betting apps have hundreds of pre-event, in-play and outright markets for the most popular sports like football, horse racing, golf, cricket etc. We also like to see other markets like TV and political betting covered.

Offers From UK Betting Apps
As you've seen from our reviews, the best betting apps often use bonuses and promotions to attract and retain customers. Some of the best bonus types to take advantage of are:
- Welcome Bonus: New users receive a bonus amount or free bet from their betting app when they register and make a deposit or place a qualifying bet.
- Matched Deposit: Betting apps match a first deposit up to a certain percentage. For instance, a 100% matched deposit would double your first deposit.
- Enhanced Odds: The best betting apps boost the odds for selected events and markets. Enhanced prices are available as welcome offers or as extra perks for existing customers.
- Cashback: If you lose a number of bets, you receive back a percentage of your stakes from your sports bookie app, ensuring you don't walk away completely empty-handed.
- Acca Insurance: We recommend finding accumulator betting sites with acca insurance, where, if you place an accumulator bet with multiple selections and one leg lets you down, betting apps refund your stake as a free bet.
- Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG): Commonly found in horse racing betting, if you take a price and the starting price ends up being larger, best odds guaranteed means the betting app pays out at the higher odds.
