We independently review betting sites. Sign-ups through our links may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you, this never influences our listings’ order.

With sports betting apps, you can place all of your wagers via your mobile devices. All UK betting sites can be used on phones and tablets (Apple and Android) via mobile browsers, but many sites provide mobile sports betting apps that you can download to your devices from the Apple App Store, Google Play or from the site itself in the case of betting apps UK for Android.

Here we are going to take a look at the best betting apps UK punters use, including betting apps for Android and betting apps for iPhone and iPad. We are going to prioritise free betting apps that you can download and install as opposed to online betting apps that only work in mobile browsers.

The Best Sports Betting Apps UK Reviewed

We’ve given you a little taste of the best betting apps UK punters can download and install to their devices, or use within a browser on their mobile or tablet. It’s time to get to know the sites offering these free betting apps a little better. Here are mini reviews of the sites that offer the top 10 betting apps for sports betting in the UK.

1. BetUK – Bet £10, Get £30 in Free Bets

BetUK, although relatively new, are becoming one of the most popular gambling brands and UK sports betting apps in the marketplace. Their app is available for iOS and Android, and it is very easy to use. You can download it from the AppStore if you’re an iPhone or iPad user, or from Google Play if your mobile devices have an Android flavour.

Ex-Tottenham and Manchester United super-sub striker Teddy Sheringham is on hand to welcome you to BetUK as their brand ambassador, and as a thank you for signing up you can claim £30 in free bets. Just make a minimum £10 deposit and place a minimum £10 bet at odds of 1.50 or greater and once the bet settles, three £10 bets will soon be appearing in your inbox! Other T&Cs apply, so check the site for details.

2. LiveScore Bet – Bet £10, Get £20 In Free Bets

Sporting fans in the UK have been using LiveScore Bet for several years now for keeping an eye on all their favourite sporting teams and fixtures, and since 2020 they’ve be able to place bets at the LiveScore Bet, including at LiveScore Bet’s excellent sports betting app, which is available for iOS and Android at the App Store and via Google Play.

There’s plenty like about the LiveScore Bet app now. This includes access to LiveScore Bet’s unique ‘Squads’ game where you can select five football players and earn points for every goal they score. The welcome bonus at LiveScore Bet cannot be faulted either – £20 in free bets awarded after a £10 minimum deposit and bet at minimum odds of 1.50. As usual, other T&Cs apply. It’s one of the leading apps in the UK right now.

3. BoyleSports – Bet £10 Get £10 In Free Bets + £10 Casino Bonus

Everyone knows that horse racing betting is extremely popular in Ireland, which is probably why three of the most successful betting brands in the UK today started life as real-world Irish betting shop empires. BoyleSports is one of those three and we happen to think that’s it’s the best out of that trio. Their sports betting app is certainly best as it believes in keeping things simple, with instant access to markets and a functionality that other sporting bet app users can only marvel at.

There’s plenty to marvel at when it comes to the BoyleSports app, and although horse racing is very popular here, it’s really football that’s number one. What’s also number one in many people’s eyes is the welcome offer at Boyle Sports – a ‘bet £10 get £10’ offer that comes with a £10 casino bonus attached. If you want to get the full details of this offer, we humbly suggest you download their mobile betting app and take a peek.

4. Tote – Bet £5 get £20 in free bets

And now for something completely different … but in a good way. If you follow the betting world in the UK then you will know that football and horse racing lead the way. If you prefer to bet on these two ultra-popular betting markets, then the Tote betting app should be just what you are looking for … as they are the only two markets available via this mobile betting app!

Horse racing punters a little long in the tooth will be aware of ‘the Tote’ – a way of pool betting on horse racing that’s different from fixed odds betting. This is the same Tote, so you get access to the Tote via their sports betting app. Have we said Tote enough, yet?! Nice welcome bonus here too – bet a fiver to get a total of £20 in free bets (other T&Cs apply, of course!).

5. Virgin Bet – Bet £10 Get £20 in Free Bets

How you feel about Richard Branson is of course up to you, but your feeling about the bearded entrepreneur shouldn’t get in the way of your love of the Virgin Bet sports betting app. Virgin Bet has nothing to do with Branson … well, it used to but he sold it to a different company who paid to keep the famous Virgin branding. This is an excellent sports betting site for the UK, and their app is very, very good.

Virgin Bet is actually now a sister site of another sports betting brand that we love, the one and only LiveScore Bet. This sports betting app has plenty of the same features that made us rate LiveScore Bet so highly – very functional and extremely easy to use. Sign up here at least for the welcome bonus – bet £10 to get £20 in bonuses (T&Cs apply). It’s another one of the sports betting apps we recommend, and not just because of the name!

6. Betfred – Bet £10 Get £40 In Bonuses

Speaking of ‘characters’ (as we were talking about Richard Branson), we can’t imagine that Fred Done had a vast, sports betting empire in mind (or perhaps he did) when he opened up his first real-world betting shop in 1967. Betfred soon became one of the biggest betting brands in the British Isles, and are now one of the biggest online too – and their app easily makes it into our top ten betting apps in the UK today.

It only makes it to number six though as we think that, compared to other sports betting apps available, this one is a little bit cluttered, and a bet of streamlining would not go amiss. There’s just too much – sports betting, lottery, casino, bingo, virtuals … it’s a very long list! What cannot be criticised though is the welcome bonus … £40 in bonuses just for a £10 stake and bet of your own!

7. Bet365 – Bet £10 & Get £30 in Free Bets

There’s very little left to be said about bet365 that has not already been said. This Denise Coates-led brand is the biggest sportsbook available in the UK. So, why is it only at number seven on our list of the best betting apps, we hear you asking? That’s because we think that bet365’s sports betting app is a little … dull, in our eyes. it’s still perfectly useable though, so YMMV.

All the greatness of bet365 is available via the app, though, including that superb offer for football fans where bet365 will pay out any football fixture as a winning bet should the side you backed go two goals up, no matter the final outcome of the game. The current bet365 welcome offer is available via the app too – place a £10 bet to get £30 in free bets (T&Cs apply).

8. Betway – £30 Matched Free Bet if your first Acca loses

Despite their long-standing presence on the shirts of perpetual EPL side West Ham United, Betway are not actually a UK company. This should not put you off using them, though, and it should certainly not put you off using their superb sports betting app. It has all the features of the excellent Betway desktop betting site, with plenty of Betway’s inventive promotions always available.

Like other best betting apps, this is available to download for Android and iOS devices, and it’s a tiny download that will not eat up too much in the way of space on your device. The app gives you access to all of Betway’s markets, and there are a massive number of them. You can also claim Betway’s welcome deal which should be music to the ears of acca lovers – just make an acca bet (minimum three legs) between £5 and £30 and if your acca loses, then you get a free £30 matched bet. The acca must have overall minimum odds of 2/1 (3.00) or higher, and your qualifying deposit must be made via a debit card (other T&Cs apply).

9. 888sport – Bet £10, Get £30 Free Bet + £10 Casino Bonus

Unlike every other sports betting site on our list, 888sport has always had mobile apps in mind when it comes to their sports betting offerings, and indeed all of the offerings under the ‘888’ umbrella – casino, live casino, bingo and poker – are available on mobile. In addition, ALL the best betting apps offered by 888sport are superb, so no matter your gambling choice, you’ll get exactly what you want via 888 on your phone or tablet.

The 888sport app really is very decent, and has all the functionality you’d expect from a sports betting app in the UK. 888 has also always been very good with promotions and things like live streaming, which makes it one of best platforms for darts betting around, while the current deals available at 888sport is very generous. You will receive £30 in free bets plus a £10 bet to use at the 888casino. Your qualifying bet must be for at least £10, with minimum odds of 1/2 (1.50). There are plenty of other T&Cs attached to this offer, so make sure you download this mobile betting app and check the latest details.

10. SBK – Bet £10, Get £10 in Free Bets

If you’ve not spent time at the SBK sports betting desktop site, then we can understand why … as it does not exist! SBK is strictly app-only, provided by desktop sports betting site Smarkets. You can download the SBK app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, and install directly upon your devices. Despite being around for a couple of years now, the SBK app still seems to be a work in progress, which is why it only just creeps into our top ten.

The SBK app has all the markets you’d find at the sister site Smarkets online bookmakers and of course, more, although we have seen more markets at other sites. This sports betting app is very easy to use, but we still feel it needs a little work. The welcome offer at SBK is very standard too – place a minimum £10 bet using your own money and when it settles, you’ll receive £10 in free bets. AS you are probably tired of hearing by now, other terms and conditions apply.

What We Consider in Our Ranking

Nearly every single leading online bookie in the UK will offer some kind of sports betting app – either one you can download and install to your device, or one you can use via a mobile browser. You may be wondering, then, how we come up with our list of the best? Why do we rate some bookmakers and betting apps so highly, while other have to flounder around, fearful of relegation to the betting apps Championship?

Here are the criteria by which we judge the best online betting apps that are available in the UK.

How to Use a Betting App

Downloading, installing and using a sports betting app on your iOS or Android-powered device is barely any different to downloading any other app on your device, but we are going to walk you through the process anyhow.

Best Betting App Offers for 2024

As we have just explained, offers that are specific to UK sports betting apps have become extremely rare. The sites that offer live betting apps still offer bonuses though – welcome bonuses and ongoing bonuses for regular site users. What separates good betting apps from the best betting apps is the latter will easily allow you access to such offers, meaning that you never have to navigate your way to the desktop site in order to claim an offer.

Here are three carefully selected sports betting apps free bets and betting apps sign up bonus deals, with the full details of what you need to do to go about claiming them.

Dedicated Sports Betting Apps Vs. Browser

We have already explained that while many betting sites in the UK offer betting apps that you can download and install to your devices, all betting sites in the UK work within any browser that you usually use on your devices to browse the internet. You may ask yourself the question then, what is the point of downloading an installing apps to devices when you can just use a browser?

Here we take a quick look at the pros and cons of UK sports betting apps and apps that you just access via your mobile browser.

Dedicated Betting Apps

Did you know that most of the best betting apps UK punters use are actually browsers themselves? When you download an app, you are downloading a browser. The difference with betting apps ‘browsers’ is that you can only access the site that offers the app – you cannot navigate away and browse the rest of the internet. When you load up the app, the site’s mobile version downloads from the internet onto your device.

So, what’s the point of downloading them? Well, they are very easy to use and when you want to place a bet, you only have to open them and the betting software is ready for you to use. You’ll also have zero problems with cookies and trackers that are common with internet browsers on mobile devices.

Browser-based Mobile Betting Apps

Most betting sites in the UK are identical on desktop and within browsers, except that they look very different on different devices. This is because HTML5 is the computer language that modern sites are created with. HTML5 is a responsive language that can adapt to the device on which a site is viewed. When you open a HTML5-driven site on your device the code will deduce the size of your screen and tailor the site’s graphical elements accordingly.

When you access a sports betting site it will download most elements into your devices’ memory, although larger elements such as images will be downloaded and cached. You can clear your cache at any time, which is something you cannot do using a sports betting app. This means that browser-based apps take up less memory on your device than downloadable betting apps but in truth, you’re unlikely to notice the difference.

Top New Betting Apps in the UK

New sports betting sites are popping up in the UK all of the time, attempting to muscle in on what is already a very bloated and competitive market. Because of the need to make themselves heard, new betting sites need to find new ways of doing things, or significant bonus offers that are a cut above everything that is already available.

This is of course to your benefit as a sports betting punter. You can take advantage of such offers, and you may also find a new betting site and mobile betting app that you just adore. Here now are three selections for the best new betting available apps in the UK.

• BetUK – Bet £10, Get £30 in Free Bets
• LiveScore Bet – Bet £10, Get £20 In Free Bets

Nearly every UK sports site that has betting apps offers them for iOS users, with only a handful going Android-only. Here for you now is our selection for the best iPhone betting apps for iOS users, and of course they can be used on iPads too.

• BetUK – Bet £10, Get £30 in Free Bets

• VirginBet – Bet £10 Get £20 in Free Bets

Best Android Betting Apps in the UK

Thanks to Google, Samsung and a few others, Android has the predominant share of the mobile OS platform in the UK, and out of every five mobile users in the UK, three will have an Android-powered device. Android betting apps are easier to find in the UK as they can both be downloaded from Google Play and the desktop sites of the UK bookies offering them. Here are our three ‘bestest’ picks for the top Android betting apps in the UK, currently.

When you want to place a live bet, you’ll want to place it as quickly as possible so that the live situation does not change before you get your bet on. As using one of the best betting apps is the speediest way of getting a live bet on, they are perfect for in-play betting.

Most sports betting apps that offer live betting also offer cash out. This is where you can cash out a winning bet before the event has concluded, ideal for when you think your backed bet is not likely to last the distance. The only downside to cash out is that your winning odds will be reduced. Here are our three choices for the best betting apps that make cash out super simple.

• BetUK – Bet £10, Get £30 in Free Bets
• LiveScore Bet – Bet £10, Get £20 In Free Bets

Nevertheless, horse racing wagering remains extremely popular in the UK, and the best horse racing betting apps will have dozens of races available to bet on each and every day, from the UK, Ireland and all across the rest of the world. Here are the best horse racing betting apps available to UK punters, in our opinion, at least.

• BoyleSports – Bet £10 Get £10 In Free Bets + £10 Casino Bonus
• Tote – Bet £5 get £20 in free bets
• Betway – £30 Matched Free Bet if your first Acca loses

Claim Free Bets on the App

Free bets are a superb way of getting value out of the best betting apps. Usually for new customers only, a free bet is free bet money that you can use to place bets without using your own cash. The only downside is that your free bet stake is not returned if your free bet is a winning one, only your winnings.

The majority of free bets come in the form of welcome bonuses, but some can be sourced from ‘free bet clubs’. This is where if you make a minimum monetary value of bets during a specified period (usually a week) you will receive free bet money as a reward.

Here are a few sports betting apps free bets ready for you to claim.

Sports Betting Apps Banking Options

Using the best betting apps banking options via your mobile betting apps is more convenient than using them on desktop sites. For example, using phone-friendly payment systems such as PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Wallet adds to your payment options, as they not so easy to use on desktop sites. You of course still have to option of using your debit card, or other payment systems such as Paysafecard, Trustly, ‘pay by mobile’ payment schemes or bank transfers.

Below you will find details of all the most popular sports betting apps banking options that are available on mobile devices via the best apps for betting, and the crucial facts about them each including which qualify as fast withdrawal sites.

Betting App Crashes and Errors

Betting apps rarely crash. On both iOS and Android systems anyway, crashes are automatically reported back to the app developers unless you have specified that you do not want any app crashes to be reported. Reporting app crashes will help prevent app crashes in the future.

If your downloaded betting app is not working it could be because the UK sportsbook you have downloaded it from is temporarily offline, although this is unlikely too. Check using a browser to see if the site is available online.

Apps crashes can sometimes be cured by restarting your phone, or deleting and reinstalling the app. Make sure that the app is kept fully updated in order to lessen the likelihood of crashes.
