Google Play Betting Apps

Betting apps have been available on the Google Play Store since Google changed its policy in March 2021.

This means developers can create native Android betting apps to provide a faster, safer, and smoother experience for users in Canada and the convenience of downloading directly from the Play Store.

We've compiled a list of the best betting apps on the Play Store, along with information on how to download Android betting apps, and solutions in case the app you want isn't available on the Play Store yet.

How To Download Play Store Betting Apps

Downloading a betting app from the Google Play Store is just like downloading any other Android app, but there are a few things you'll need to do before you're fully up and running.

1
Select The Best Betting App

There are quite a few things to consider when picking the betting app you want to use, including live betting features, payment methods, sport markets and more.

Once you've had a chance to read through a review or two and know which app is right for you, it's time to get started by hitting one of the green buttons to get sent over to the site!

2
Register Your Account

Once you've landed on the betting app site, it's time to set up your account and get registered.

This is a straightforward process, and you just need to provide some of the following details:

  • Email
  • Password
  • Full name
  • Date of Birth
  • Address
  • Occupation
  • Employer
  • Government ID

We usually recommend signing up before downloading the app because it streamlines the process of setting up your quick log-in, like fingerprint authentication, and helps you get going quicker.

3
Download from the Play Store

Once you've done all the 'hard' parts, you can just head on over to the Play Store and download the app!

  • If you're looking for Bet365 for example, just search 'bet365' and you'll find it right away!

Most betting apps even feature a direct link to the google play store right from the website, usually located right at the bottom of the page.

Finding Apps That Aren't in the Play Store

Fortunately, this is not a common problem in Canada, as sportsbooks know featuring their betting apps on the Play Store is the easiest way to facilitate downloads. If you can't find the betting app you're looking for, it is generally one of these two reasons:

  • You need to download the APK
  • The developer has not built an Android app

There are only few betting apps right now that are not on the Play Stor, and only Betway is pushing for an APK download.

Downloading APKs

Again it's generally easier to set up your account on the web browser before you download here, but once you've done that it's a nice and easy process.

We're using Betway as the example, but the download process is virtually identical for any APK.

  • Just navigate to the Android download page
  • Hit 'download sports app'
  • Confirm the download and you'll be good to go - it's that easy!

If you're struggling, betway has even placed a how to video directly under the download button to show you how.

Do Betting Apps Allow Google Pay?

While betting apps can be downloaded from the Play Store in specific countires, Google has a very strict policy about Google Pay being used as a payment option on these betting apps.

There are currently very few apps that are able to use the Google Pay API as a payment option. With Ontario being the only regulated market, one of the top apps available in that province like Bet365 or Betway are the most likely to eventually add Google Pay as a payment.

Google Play Betting App FAQ

Does the Google Play Store allow gambling apps?

Yes! Since March 2021, Google has permitted real money gambling apps to be published and downloaded from the Play Store.

We have compiled a list of all the legal and licensed betting apps available for download on Android, along with instructions on how to download a betting app not available on the Play Store.

Which betting apps accept google play balance?

Sadly no betting apps in Canada accept Google Play credit.

This is to do with strict financial regulations that help provide security to users and is part of what allows a betting app to become licensed in Canada.

We only review legal and licensed apps, so you can rest assured that the payment methods they accept are all above board and safe.

Can I use Google Pay?

Rarely - Google has a fairly strict policy about Google Pay being used as a payment method for betting or gambling on real money apps. Apple Pay has become a popular payment method, so Google may be inclined to change its policies in the future.

What is the Google gambling policy in Canada?

Since the start of March, 2021, Google has allowed developers to publish gambling apps on the Play Store. This came with some additional requirements for user safety and security:

  • Developers must have a valid gambling license for each country or state/territory in which the app is distributed
