Bet365 App Review
Bet365 is a name synonymous with gambling in the UK and now worldwide, with it being one of the most prominent bookmakers in the country. A global force in the market, the Stoke-based company boasts over 22 million active players across its various platforms and is licensed by the British Gambling Commission. Below, we will be reviewing the bet365 app, looking at a number of aspects surrounding its mobile platform and the success of it.
Player Options
Sportsbook
There are few other bookmakers that can match up to the depth of sporting action that bet365 offers markets on, with a huge range of sports available to bet on both in-play and before the event has started. Whether you fancy a punt on bowls or are looking to profit from U20 women’s volleyball, there is every chance that if it’s a sporting event, bet365 will more than likely have markets on it. It is this depth of sporting action that makes it one of the most popular sportsbooks available to punters.
Casino
Every big bookmaker now has its own casino gaming app and bet365 is no exception, with players having the choice to either download the app to play or can access it through their internet browser. All of the old favourites are included, such as roulette and blackjack, which can be played either on the automated service or can be played live. The bet365 live feature gives players the chance to compete against live dealers via webcam, whilst also being able to compete against other live players. Like the sportsbook, bet365 really does go above and beyond to give their customers the best and most exciting user experience.
Poker
To access bet365’s poker games, users can either download the designated Texas Hold’Em app or can access it via their online mobile browser. Both cater for the needs of both new and old players, particularly the former who are given extra aid if they are looking to dip their feet into the game for the first time. New bet365 poker customers have the option of playing on beginner-only tables for the first three months, playing alongside players in the same boat as themselves to help their chances of not being completely whitewashed within their first few games. However, bet365 also offer competitive tables up against other more experienced competition for those who already know the nuts and bolts of the game, making it a solid choice for poker players of all levels, experience and abilities.
Bingo
More and more people are flocking online to play bingo following the decline of the traditional way of playing and bet365 is one of the places many players are heading towards. Once again, bet365 offers customers the choice to either play either with their dedicated bingo app, or they can instead access it via their mobile browser. Within the app, users can find significant jackpot prizes, whilst also, at the time of writing are able to access up to £120 in welcome package bonuses to play with. They also offer players a monthly loyalty night, whereby the more frequent players are given longer to win prizes, making it one of the more rewarding bingo sites for players to use.
Vegas
Finally, bet365 also offers players the chance to gamble with their very own vegas app, which can either be downloaded onto their device or, you guessed it, accessed via an online web browser. As you would expect, there are an array of slots available on the bet365 Vegas app, featuring some of the premium games online, as well as the option of playing table and card games. As is the case with all the mentioned options, the bet365 Vegas welcome bonus is a generous one that rewards new customers for their first deposit.
Accessibility
How to use the bet365 App
In terms of user experience, bet365 offers some of the very best on the market and is one of the easiest betting apps to navigate around. With all sports listed in alphabetical order, it is straightforward to find the individual sport you are after, with the following pages then prioritising the most popular competitions within that sport at the top of the page. The sportsbook home page also features quick links to soccer, racing and others at the top of the page, whilst also offering a look at the in-play markets that are live and regularly updated. It should also be noted that the bet365 mobile app also offers a live streaming service on a number of their in-play markets.
iOS and Android Download
As you would expect for such a recognised brand, the bet365 app is available on a number of platforms, opening it up to customers no matter what device they own. iOS and Android devices support the app, with iOS users being able to download the bet365 app to their device through either the App Store or via iTunes for free. Android users must first access it via the bet365 website before then downloading it, after which they can register or login and immediately begin playing after a deposit.
What if the app is not supported?
For non-iOS and Android users, the bet365 mobile website remains available through their internet browser. Like the app, the bet365 mobile website is easy to navigate through and makes finding the sport/markets you are looking for effortless.
App Features
The bet365 app features numerous features that makes it one of the best betting apps on the market. Take a look at some of the best features below.
Live Streaming
For certain sports, bet365 allows users to watch the action unfold via a live streaming service, enhancing the excitement and experience of placing a bet with them. Such a feature is one of the main reasons that the company boasts as many active customers as they do, allowing punters to make their judgements and place their money on what they are viewing. Football, Basketball and Tennis are just some of the sports that have live streaming services available to them, and users only have to have a funded account to be able to watch sports on bet365.
Match Live
If the live streaming service isn’t available for a particular event, bet365 will compensate customers with their excellent, in-depth match live service. Match live offers players the chance to watch a live graphic of the ongoings within the event, with it being versatile enough to offer it on all sports. It also comes with in-play markets beneath and live odds, whilst still allowing players to decide for themselves the way they believe the outcome of an event will go.
What’s more is the fact that users of bet365 and their match live service are able to see live statistics of the event they are watching. For example, football match live will offer statistics such as possession, shots on target, shots off target, yellow cards, red cards, corners, attacks, dangerous attacks, team lineups and a live league table, making it as comprehensive coverage as you could ask for without watching the game itself!
Cash Out
The cash out feature has become one of the most dynamic in sports betting, allowing punters to almost take control of their own destiny and decide when to call it a day. Players that are nervous about their bet losing or that have reached a cash prize that they can’t afford to turn down can cash their bets out early, albeit for less than their original returns. It doesn’t work for all, and the cash out price given to customers is entirely dependant on the success of their in-play bet. If your backed team is losing 2-0 with 20 minutes left to play, don’t expect a cash out offer anything near to your original stake.
Live Alerts
One of the most useful features of the bet365 mobile app is live alerts, which gives punters the option to receive a notification when something significant happens to their bet. It prevents players from having to check up on their 3pm acca for goals every two minutes, with the option to also completely personalise what you receive notifications for. Whilst using the app, it gave us the choice to receive live alerts for the full time result, goals, half time result, kick off and cards to name but a few, with 10 different options available on our selected game. The live alerts feature is perfect for those who may be busy after having a bet.
Search Bar
Experienced online gamblers will know for the most part how to find what it is they are looking for on a site without any fuss, particularly on bet365. However, new players can now access a search bar on the bet365 mobile app, allowing them to search directly for what it is they are looking to back, whether it be a team, league, competition or event. It leaves the days of endlessly searching for odds on the next NFL MVP as a thing of the past, again highlighting the positive user experience which comes from using bet365.
Customer Support
As is often the case with online bookmakers, bet365 offers its customers a variety of ways in which they are able to contact them in the case of any issues related to their account or gaming. This includes telephone, live chat or email, as well as there being social media platforms where complaints can be discussed, though the first three should always be the first port of call. From previous experiences, bet365 have always been efficient in their handling of any customer related issues, with a resolution not being too prolonged to find in most incidents.
Conclusion
Following all of the above points discussed, it’s clear to see that bet365 offers one of the best all-round gambling experiences available. With a huge variety of sports, excellent in-play menus and a depth of different markets, their sportsbook is one of the very best out there. Combine that with the other gambling options such as Vegas, Poker and Bingo, it really is one of the most diverse brands on the market. Also including extremely rewarding bonuses for new customers, bet365 is certainly one of the top bookmakers out there for players.
