BETFRED MOBILE APP REVIEW

Daniel McKenna

As a staple mark of the British betting world, it's safe to say that pretty much every punter in the UK has heard of Betfred. Much like their high-street counterparts, Betfred moved into the world of online betting and launched their own apps for iOS and Android. Betfred's app lets punters get straight into the action with a straightforward interface and a solid range of betting options.

BETFRED APP REVIEW

As with most of the apps that come from traditional high-street betting brands, Betfred offers plenty of choice, a great welcome offer and some really nice promos. The in-play markets on offer within the app are strong across 23 different sports and, despite not being as in-depth as its competitors, Betfred's offerings provide enough for casual bettors to be getting on with.

What we like about the Betfred app

✅ The app is about as straightforward as it could be, which makes for a great user experience. Everything I’d need was at my fingertips and navigation was simple, due to the clear and concise nature of the Betfred app.

✅ Betfred's odds are competitive with other leading UK betting apps including Bet365, Ladbrokes and Betfair.

✅ Daily promos, enhanced odds and bet builder promos are available across a good selection of sports including football, horse racing, casino and even virtual sports.

✅ Betfred’s sign-up offer is one of the best in the UK right now, giving punters a great head start with a bunch of Free Bets and Free Spins.

✅ Betfred offers high levels of customer support. I used their live chat function, just to see the quality of the response and wait time. I received a clear answer within 5 minutes, and that was including queue times, which shows their efficiency.

What could be improved?

❌ Betfred’s markets are quite limited, so it would be nice to see a more in-depth offering, especially within their bet builder..

❌ Despite being easy to use and very straightforward, Betfred’s app looks and feels somewhat dated. So could perhaps do with an aesthetic overhaul.

Verdict 🤷‍♂️

Betfred's app provides a great betting experience for casual bettors and novices alike, with a good selection of betting markets and boosts. The markets on offer may seem limited compared to Bet365, but not all bettors are interested in more complex and specialized markets. For those looking for a simple betting app with some great features and one of the best welcome offers around, I highly recommend Betfred.

    BETFRED PROMOS FOR EXISTING CUSTOMERS

    While not offering the same amount of free bet offers that can be found on the likes of Paddy Power, Betfred does have a nice healthy selection of ongoing promos within its app for existing customers.

    Plus, it’s always worth keeping an eye out for the latest odds boosts, which cover plenty of fixtures and races and appear all of the time.

    Betfred Double Delight & Hat-Trick Heaven

    A popular promo for football fans is Betfred’s Double Delight and Hat-trick Heaven. Betfred will pay out double the odds if your first goalscorer bet scores a second. Hat-trick Heaven is, well you guessed it, triple the odds for a hat-trick.

    Betfred Super Acca Insurance

    Betfred's Super Acca Insurance is a great promo for acca fans, who can get up to £10 back in cash if one of your 5+ multiples lets you down.

    Free Bet if 2nd

    If your horse comes in second on a win or each way single bet, Betfred will give your stake back in a free bet of up to £10. This is a really great offer for racing bettors out there, but the issue is that it only applies to one or two races a day on average. If you compare that with Grosvenor Sport, who run the exact same deal, they have it applied to over 20 races tomorrow, which is in line with their average. So if this is something that interests you, I'd advise checking out Grosvenor Sport.

    All Correct Bonus

    It's nice to be right. With Betfred's 'All Correct Bonus' you can get a bonus of up to 25% in cash if you place a win or E/W Lucky 15/Yankee, Lucky 31/Canadian or Lucky 63/Heinz bet across Horse Racing, Greyhound Racing, Virtual Horses, or Virtual Greyhounds that comes in.

    BETFRED BETTING

    Betfred offers betting across 23 sports and will get the job done for most casual bettors out there, however, the depth of its betting markets is nothing to write home about and could be an issue for punters who like an app that allows them to deep dive into niche markets.

    What to expect from Betfred football

    Betfred has a strong focus on football and you can bet on a multitude of matches in 43 leagues across 15 countries. Football markets such as first scorer, handicaps, and of course correct scores are covered. Asian handicap markets are also available, but not Asian total goals or corners.

    Double Delight and Hat-Trick Heaven are two of Betfred's standout football promotions. Betfred will double your odds if your first goalscorer also scores a second and triple your odds if your first goalscorer scores a hat-trick.

    With Betfred's Super Acca Insurance, football punters can rest easy. When one leg of a five-fold or more accumulator fails, you'll get your stake back as cash up to £20.

    Betfred's in-play matches benefit from high quality graphics and stats.

    Betfred #PickYourPunt

    With Betfred's #PickYourPunt bet builder, you can choose pre-made wagers or build your own from the available markets. It has some interesting pre-made bets, including 'Tottenham to hit woodwork' in tonight's match, but overall, the selection of markets is rather basic and fans of niche markets may be disappointed.

    In case you can't find what you're looking for, you can always tweet Betfred with your own bet. This feature is similar to Ladbrokes’ ‘get a price’ promo, which is great if there are markets that you think will come in, but aren’t already on offer.

    Betfred's #PickYourPunt feature offers some great pre-made bets, but the overall market selection is rather basic.

    BETFRED HORSE RACING

    As a brand, Betfred has always had a particularly strong connection with horse racing and this has certainly bled through into their app, which serves as a great choice for racing bettors.

    Why choose Betfred for horse racing?

    Betfred offers a good selection of 'Extra Place' races that are clearly marked in the horse racing section of the app. Extra place races give you a greater chance of a payout on each-way wagers and are available across multiple UK and Irish meets and some international races also.

    Racecard form data is provided by the Racing Post for each horse and also an overall Racing Post verdict for the outcome of the race itself. Giving you plenty to take in while you make your choices. The app also uses this Racing Post data for video analysis of the four SP frontrunners, which includes a pre-race prediction and key stats.

    Two Ipads showing the horse racing section of the Betfred app

    Racing Post data is available across all UK and Irish meets and extra markets such as 'Place Only', 'Fav vs Outsiders' and more, are a great addition the Betfred's racing offering.

    Forecast and Tricast betting is available, as well as a good selection of antepost markets. Betfred also offers both best odds guaranteed and first past the post for UK and Irish racing.

    Betfred's 'Betfinder' feature uses data from the Racing Post to punters narrow down their choices according to runner data, jockey form, distance winner, and more.

    ️⛳️ Golf ️⛳️

    Plenty on offer across Opens, Masters and PGA championships with various markets on offer. Also, Betfred regularly offer 10 places each-way at 1/5 odds at Major Championships

    🏏 Cricket

    Great in-play options across T20, ODI and international test matches. With in-play markets comparative to those found on Paddy Power.

    🏈 NFL

    Betting is available across the NFL, NCAA, XFL and CFL. Price boosts are often available for larger games and the odds on offer are generally comparative with the likes of Grosvenor Sports.

    🏀 Basketball

    Betfred offers betting on NBA and across some international leagues, however, the selection of events is not as in-depth as those available elsewhere. If basketball betting is your thing I would advise heading to BetUK, which has a great selection of in-play basketball markets.

    BETFRED ESPORTS

    Unfortunately, Betfred does not currently offer betting on any esports events on either its app or desktop site. Given that esports are continuing to grow in popularity, Betfred could be missing a trick and could benefit from adding it to its sportsbook in some capacity.

    If esports are your thing check out our favourite betting apps for esports.
