Dafabet aren’t one of the biggest names on the sports betting market, in the UK at least, but they’re growing year by year, and the Asian bookmaker is increasing its visibility in the UK exponentially by advertising with a number British football clubs, erstwhile Sunderland, and now Fulham and Celtic, whilst also being the Welsh national team’s primary betting partner. It doesn’t actually offer an app just yet, but its mobile site is easy to use and something to consider.

How to gamble with Dafabet

iOS and Android

Just because Dafabet don’t offer an app, doesn’t mean that their range of competitive odds and offers aren’t available for you, even on the go, whether you use an iPhone or the many Android-powered devices on the market, phone or tablet. It’s free of charge, and can be downloaded via the iTunes app store if you’re an iPhone or iPad user. If you you’re on such a device, go directly to the mobile version of the site (m.dafabet.com) in your browser of choice (it should work on all the mainstream mobile browsers, from Chrome to Safari). The mobile-friendly version is the full betting website, available to use from within your phone browser. Of course, not offering a dedicated app for your phone leaves it somewhat lacking in comparison to the major names in UK sports betting, but on the plus side accessing it via your browser will leave your device a little less clogged up. This might be one to consider for those always having to delete data to make space on their phone.

If you’re an Android user and really want an app, there is a way round. Like the iTunes store, you won’t find it by searching an app marketplace, but if you’re relatively savvy, you’ll have the option of downloading an .APK file, which will effectively render the mobile website of the site within an app, putting a shortcut in your phone menu for maximum convenience. Just navigating the mobile website is always another option if this isn’t up your street, though.

How to Use Dafabet

You’re able to browse the full Dafabet site and markets right away, but to really get started, you need to have an account in order to gamble with them.  This can be done within the mobile site or full desktop version, or simply by using your existing username and password if you’re already a customer. They’re free to set up and should only take a few minutes to sort. Even if you’re less tech-savvy, it’s all straightforward enough stuff: you simply submit a few of your personal details (the usuals: name, address, bank details) before making a first deposit. From there, the Dafabet mobile site is easy to navigate: simply go to the sub-sections to choose which event, sport or market that you’d like to bet on. From there you’ll find all the odds available, with the option of adding several bets to make up an accumulator with better odds as part of a virtual betting slip, or betting on the one solitary event.

One thing to consider is you may need to provide a proof of identity, such as a scan of your passport or driving license or a utility bill that proves your address, before making any withdrawals.

Dafabet Features

There are several good reasons to use the mobile website. Because its specially been designed for smaller screens, you’ll be able to browse it easily and intuitively, with a ton of options to choose from. There’s a frankly stupendous range of options to choose from, including over 5,000 live games and betting markets, live streaming on hundreds of thousands selected events. Following the live-streams is perfect if you like to suss out your options live, because they also offer in-play betting. Not only does the app have you covered for navigating different markets and steadily building a bet-slip, but you can also manage your account through the mobile site, including any deposits and withdrawals.

Dafabet Welcome Offer

Not used Dafabet before? Then it’s definitely worth considering their generous welcome offer. It’s not quite the most available on the market for new customers, but with up to £30 available, it’s not a welcome offer to sniff at either. You have to bet at least £10 to qualify for the matched bet offer, but you can place a first bet confident it will be returned in full (up to £30 max) as a free bet if it doesn’t come in. You don’t need to do anything or claim as it’s all sorted out automatically within 24 hours of the bet being settled: just check your account and you should see the free bet available.

But as always, its worth reading the terms and conditions in full to make sure you don’t miss out. As is standard fare, the main one to remember is that you can’t just go for a 1/100 absolute banker, as the bet must be priced at at least 1/2 (1.50) in order to qualify. Another important rule to remember is that if you make your first deposit via Skrill, you’ll be ineligible for the offer.

Dafabet Payment Methods

Dafabet don’t have quite the extensive range of payment operators as some bookmakers, but what they offer should satisfy the vast, vast majority of punters. You can use the standard visa, visa electron, maestro and mastercard debit and credit card options directly as well as specialist options like Skrill and Neteller. One thing to remember is that you won’t be eligible for the welcome offer if you make your first deposit via Skrill, though.

Dafabet Restricted Territories

The terms and conditions on the Dafabet website state that you must not gamble via them if you reside in a country in which gambling is illegal, and by opening an account with them you state that “gambling is not illegal in the territory that you reside”.

Dafabet Customer Service

There are an extensive range of options of how to get in touch with Dafabet if you encounter any issues. They have a social media presence on Twitter and Facebook, while they run a 24-hour live chat service as well as a freephone service as well as separate e-mail address to contact for UK and Irish punters.

Dafabet Summary

A massive name in the Asian online gambling market, it’s no surprise that Dafabet have launched a mobile website that’s trustworthy, sleek and easy to use for UK customers. It’s something of a surprise that they don’t have a dedicated app on iOS, and nothing you can officially download from the Android app marketplace, but given that most gambling apps tend to be a simple conversion of the mobile website, this should be no great stumbling block as you can do everything you’d need to via your mobile browser. With a generous welcome offer, a brilliantly extensive sportsbook and an intuitive design, Dafabet is at the very least giving a go.
