Betting App Reviews
Here’s a more in-depth guide to the apps –
1 – Bet Victor App
Bet Victor is a well-known name in the UK betting market and their app does not disappoint. They scored well in our rankings for football betting, bet builders, and horse racing. The app is packed with unique features, such as a horse finder that you won’t find anywhere else.
- Bet builder for football with an instant price for all selections.
- Unique horse finder software helps find horses to meet your criteria.
- High ratings on both the iPhone app and Android app.
- Other apps have a better range of casino games and products.
- No bingo or poker apps available, its all about the sports!
Here is a video guide to the app – You need to be signed in to YouTune and over 18 to watch!
Why Bet Victor scored so highly for football betting
- Bet Builder – An instant (and we mean instant) price for all bet builder matches. There is a great range of markets to pick from and this is, in our opinion, the best football bet builder on offer.
Here is how it looks on the app –
We found the following markets on offer
- To win the match
- Various corner betting options
- Under: Overs goal markets and BTTS yes: no
- Player to be carded
- Team cards
- 1st half and 2nd half markets
- NEW: Type of goal – Header, outside the box, free kick, penalty. (Select for individual players or the team)
The choice almost seems endless with all the options listed above. You can build anything from small value bets to massive in match bets. Price it up bets can be combined in accumulators too!
Coupons
Another thing we were really impressed with is the range of coupons. When betting apps first came around, they had a very limited number of coupons on offer with 1X2 and Over under 2.5 about the only choices. The Bet Victor app is light years away from that now! You can select your coupons by the market or by the league or competition. It’s really quick and easy to put accumulators bets on and odds update in real-time at the betslip at the bottom of the app. There is a good choice of other multiple bet options if you don’t want to place a straight acca bet.
Here are the football coupons we found available in testing –
By competiton
- All English leagues and cups
- All Scottish leagues and cups
- Spain
- Germany
- Italy
- European leagues and cups
- Other leagues and cups
- UEFA competitions
- Asia coupon
- Americas coupon
- International coupon
- Euro2020 coupon
- UEFA Nations league coupon
- Football e-Sports coupon
- Copa America coupon
- World cup 2022 coupon
Coupons by market: day

- Match result and both teams to score
- Total goals over/under 2.5
- Total goals over/under 1.5
- A Goal in both halves yes/no
- Asain handicap
- Asian goal line
Here is the coupon hub on the app
The app is our top-rated football betting app for iPhone and Android.
2 - bet365 app
Bet365 is probably the best-known bookmaker in the world. They have been operating in the UK for many years.
Their app has advanced a lot over the past few years to make it an excellent all-around betting app. We found a huge choice of markets on offer as well as a casino app, live casino app, bingo app, and a real money poker app.
Whatever you want to bet on, the bet365 app has it all!
- Excellent choice of markets and coupons for football and more.
- Live streaming of UK racing and other sports (Geo restrictions apply)
- App available via mobile browser or via iTunes and Google Play.
- We found the app did not have many on going offers for existing customers.
- No bingo or poker apps available, its all about the sports!
3 - Betfred app
Betfred made their name with UK betting shops and the tote on UK racecourses. They have a long-standing reputation and their app lives up to that expectation.
It is packed with features to make betting easier and has one of the widest ranges of football coupons that we have seen.
The app excels in horse racing betting with a full racing post-verdict on each horse in each race. There is live streaming on offer coving UK and Irish racing too.
- Top class horse racing data and coverage.
- Large choice of world football coupons including in play coupons.
- A simplified betting experience - well suited to a casual punter.
- There is no dedicated casino or live casino app
- The Betfred retail app is only available to Android users.
Why Betfred scored well for football betting –
Ease of placing accumulators
Acca betting is huge in the UK and the Betfred app really taps into that.
When you land on the app home page tap the football icon to get to the football betting home page, As shown below.
As you can see the home page starts with a list of leagues. If you tap into any of the leagues you will get a choice of bets to view. You can either tap into a match-list coupon, which is all the upcoming games on the 1×2 market. Alternatively, you can tap on the league name again to bring up all the season bets.
When we re checking we found the following betting markets for the Premier League
- Outright winner
- Top goalscorer
- Top 4 finish
- Top 6 finish
- Top 10 finish
- Bottom half finish
- Relegation
- To stay up
- To finish bottom
We felt this was a good choice of markets for the season. These are all in-play markets so the odds are live when you check them and change regularly after games based on the results.
Tv matches
One thing that caught our eye on the app was the tv matches coupon. This covers every game shown live on TV in the UK covering various channels as shown below
- Sky Sports
- BT Sport
- BT Sport ESPN
- BBC
- BBC Scotland
- Premier Sports
- Free sports
- Amazon Prime Video
- LA Liga TV
It also shows you the channel number the match is on. You can either place your bets on the 1×2 market from here or tap into more bets in blue to get the full market for each game.
Range of coupons
Here is the full range of coupons that we found
- UK Longlist – all UK leagues
- European longlist – Wide range of leagues covered
- ROTW longlist
- In-paly longlist – Games that are going in play
- Goals Galore

- BTTS & match result

Overall we were very impressed with the simplicity of the Bet Fred app for football betting.
4 - William Hill App
Willaim Hill claims to be “the home of betting” and with a quality app, it is easy to see why!
They were rated very highly for football betting. Where they really excel is with horse racing betting. The racing hub is packed with information on the day’s races. They also have some great racing features including daily bet boosts and pice your places for each-way bets.
There are currently 6 William Hill apps available covering sports, casino, bingo, and games.
- The best app for horse race betting in the UK
- Pick your daily bet boosts where available (terms apply - see app/site for details)
- Follow live events streamed through WHTV or listing along with William Hill radio.
- There is possibly too many apps and many ads on the app pushing casino offers.
- Can occasionally be a little slow to cash out causing some negative reviews on iTunes.
5 - Betway Sports App
Betway’s app has a number of excellent features that will suit most casual punters.
The app has all the sports and markets that you would expect as well as a full bet builder for football. They offer #Betyourway for other sports where you can tweet them to get a price for most events.
They claim to have the world’s best selections of games and events from the world of Esports betting. We have not been able to verify this information though.
- The best app for Esports betting for iPhone and Android
- Full suite of casino apps including standard, live casino and games app
- Excellent responsible gambling controls to keep you playing safely.
- Free bet club keeps you in offers as an existing customer (terms apply)
- #BuildYourbet for other sports via twitter is a little time consuming.
