In today’s betting app review we will be taking a close look at one of the UK’s favourites: BetStars. Founded by the creators of PokerStars, this sports betting app holds a license in the Isle of Man and is regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. BetStars is growing rapidly due to its competitive odds, impressive range of sports to choose from such as football, horse racing and tennis amongst others, and some handy features which put customers in control. The app is designed in a way that allows users of all levels of experience feel right at home, and here we will be talking about everything there is to do with the BetStars betting app. So, let’s not waste anymore time and jump right in.

How to Download the BetStars Mobile App

iOS and Android

The first thing to do before downloading the BetStars application is to ensure that the device software is up to date with the newest firmware released on either platform. Afterwards, Android users can make a quick visit to the Google Play Store and search for the BetStars app, or download it via an APK file if they so wish. However, we would like to let it be known that downloading APK files is not always 100% safe and heavily discourage Android users from purchasing the app from any third party websites for fear of infecting their device with malicious malware etc. The app can also be downloaded from the BetStars official website which is a much safer option than through non BetStars affiliated sites.

On iOS it is much the same, as users can simply open the App Store on their phone or tablet and search “BetStars” into the search bar, which should bring up the BetStars betting app as the first option. The app is available free of charge and depending on the users wifi connection, should take under five minutes to download. Once this is done, the user can begin their exciting sports betting journey on BetStars.

How to Use the BetStars Mobile App

As with any new application, users will be eager to get to know the home-screen and all there is to do within the app itself. Thankfully, BetStars make this an easy task due to their sleek, well thought-out design and responsive features. When the user first opens the app, they will be met with a few different options. Towards the top of their screen is the menu displaying some popular sports, the “home” icon and a sidebar which ranks the sports in alphabetical order. Directly below the A-Z of sports is the users betslip, and to the left of the betslip are today’s betting highlights, promotions and results. When the user scrolls down slightly they will see the Popular Request-A-Bets, and further down are the OddsBoosts where users can win big with some fantastic, unique prices.

However, before availing of any of these brilliant features, users must first either log in to an existing account or create a new one, which can be done by tapping the “login” icon in the top right hand corner of their screen. There they will be given the option to create their new account which should not take more than five minutes barring any unexpected issues.

BetStars App Features

The BetStars mobile app has a wide array of features including many sports, offers, in-play action and cash-out. There are new promotions available virtually every single week which customers will be desperate to get involved with, especially considering there are over 30 sports and more than 1,000 live events to put their money on. The Spin & Bet feature is something rarely seen on sports betting sites and apps, but BetStars have made the feature one of their best-loved by the community thanks to the thrilling prizes it hands out. All users have to do is choose from a selection of markets in the “Spin & Bet” section on the home-screen, enter their stake and click “Spin & Bet” and that’s it! The user is now in with a chance of taking home up to 10x their original winnings. The in-play market with BetStars is a cool addition, due to the rapid updating of results and scores of the various different markets along with new odds with each passing minute to keep players right up to date with the action. Players also have the option to lock in their winnings with the cash-out feature, putting the user in the driving seat of their bet and avoiding potential losses.

One other interesting aspect of BetStars is BetStars Challenges where users complete challenges set out on the app and win rewards. In order to take part, users must go to their Challenge Window (available on the app) and keep checking to see what challenges are available on the various apps. The challenges will be explained in full along with terms and conditions, and users can simply press “Start” on the Challenge to begin their journey towards earning huge rewards. These rewards include: cash, free bets, tickets, bonuses etc. T&C’s apply.

BetStars Welcome Offer

As of writing this review, BetStars are offering a new customer welcome offer available to any brand new user who wishes to opt-in. To take advantage of this offer, users must place their first bet of £20 at odds of 2.0 (evens) or greater on any sport or market of their liking, after which they will be credited with 2 x £10 free bets to be used on any sport. These free bets will be credited to the users account within 48 hours of the necessary qualifying bets being placed. This offer is solely available to those who have deposited with payment methods OTHER than Neteller or Skrill. T&C’s apply.

BetStars Payment Methods

BetStars are always putting their customers first and this is shown in the variation of payment methods available. The payment options that can be used by BetStars users are as follows: Visa Card, MasterCard, Maestro Card, MuchBetter, Neteller, Paypal, Skrill, Local Bank Transfer, PokerStars TopUp, paysafecard, Neosurf and Rapid Transfer. The processing time for deposits is usually instant and the Fast Deposits feature allows players to put funds into their BetStars account without having to exit the app. The processing time for withdrawals is often slightly longer, with methods such as Paypal taking up to 5 days to show funds in the users account. This varies however, and users can rest assured that their money is in a safe place with BetStars.

With BetStars, players can set deposit limits if they wish. The minimum deposit amount is set at £10 with all payment methods except for Paypal and Skrill, where the limit is £5. Users can also transfer money between their own account and another players account. There is a maximum transfer limit with these funds.

BetStars Restricted Territories

BetStars have an extensive list of restricted countries, which is slightly disappointing. However, the bookmakers hold a license in the UK and can be used within Great Britain or by citizens who are of British nationality regardless of whether or not they are physically in Great Britain at the time of using the app. Those who are residents of other countries are not permitted to download and use the BetStars mobile app and will not be allowed to create an account if or when they attempt to do so.

BetStars Customer Service

With BetStars, users can get help for any problems or issues they are faced with via live chat and email. It is encouraged that users make use of the Help section where they are likely to find the answer to frequently asked queries, however they can of course contact the dedicated support team if necessary. The live chat feature is time efficient and helpful, with the user connected to the relevant agent within minutes. If the user would prefer to use email, they can do so by filling in a form, explaining their issue and selecting which category their issue fits into. BetStars do not have a phone number specifically dedicated to the app or website.

BetStars Summary

After reviewing the BetStars mobile app, it comes as no surprise to us that the application has been so well received by customers since its release. The app can boast 4/5 stars on the App Store and over 550 ratings, with plaudits towards the Android app also. The BetStars mobile app combines a neat design with competitive odds and cool features and definitely competes with the top-tier betting apps we have seen. Despite its limitations, the support system is actually fantastic and the team are undoubtedly committed to helping customers. As well as that, there are so many ways to pay with BetStars that more or less everyone can get involved with their promotions and find ways to win big money. In our time using the app, BetStars allowed us to have fun with the Spin & Bet feature, responsive cash-out and in-play live action. We recommend the BetStars mobile app to anyone interested in sports betting, whether new or experienced, as we are certain the time spent on the app will be more than enjoyable.
