Toals App Review

Toals is an independent bookmaker based in Northern Ireland, The company was established in 1932 with licensed betting offices which they still operate and have recently moved online with a sportsbook, casino, live casino, lotto games and virtuals sports. The sports betting and casino product is provided by FSB Technology, a software supplier to the gaming industry licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. Toals are registered with the Independent Betting Adjudication Service (IBAS) which resolves disputes between bookmakers and their customers. The operator is involved in sponsorship of football and horse racing in Northern Ireland and has relationships and links with local communities.  

How To Use The Toals App 

Toals are relative newcomers to online betting so the company is still developing the mobile product. The operator does have a betting app and mobile site and the options for each type of device are described below:

iOS

The Toals app for iOS devices can be downloaded from the Apple Store and is compatible with the iPad and iPhone. The mobile app replicates the desktop version and is fully functional. The app for iOS devices looks modern and navigation is intuitive so betting on the move is straightforward using the Toals mobile app. 

Android 

There was no mobile app for Android devices at the time of writing but Toals could launch one in the fullness of time. This bookmaker does offer a mobile version of the desktop site that can be read using Android devices once the security settings have been adjusted to allow installation. 

PC 

Toals have developed a mobile version of their site that Android users can access. The software requirements are a mobile-optimised browser which allows for installation. Once the mobile version has been loaded users can add a Shortcut to the Home Page. 

Toals App Features 

The Toals mobile app has all the features of the desktop version. Customers who open an account on a PC have access to the mobile site on smartphones and tablets. The following features are particularly suited to mobile betting and can be accessed on the betting app and desktop version of the website.  

Sports Markets 

‘Sportsbook’ is the first option on the main menu on the Toals Homepage on mobile devices. The Welcome page displays promotions for new and existing customers. The importance of the horse racing product is indicated by the fact that the next horse races are displayed more prominently than the upcoming football matches and fixtures from the other popular betting sports. The most popular betting sports appear on a main and there is a link to all sports of which there are 21 in total. There are betting markets for Gaelic sports but the most popular betting league with pre-match and in-play bookmakers including Toals is the Premier League in England.   

In Play

The Toals in-play interface has a familiar appearance because many other bookmakers are supplied by FSB. At the time of writing, there were 27 live betting events and more than half were related to football. There is no live streaming and the display of live markets is basic. Other bookmakers present a graphical representation of the progress of play but this facility is not available from Toals. The range of markets is small in number but bets can be cashed out as described below. Betting is suspended when something key happens. The markets reappear in a few seconds with the odds amended to take into account the events that took place.   

Cash Out

The cash out option is available on the Toals mobile app for selected sports and markets. An icon next to the odds indicates whether cash out betting is available. Customers with Toals who place a pre-match bet or an earlier in-play bet can close the bet before expiry. The objective is to take control of the bet by guaranteeing a profit or limiting the loss regardless of the outcome. The cash out offer depends on the original odds, the stake unit and odds at the time of the cash out. This option is insurance against the event and odds going against the backer. 

Toals Welcome Offer 

New mobile customers with Toals can claim double the odds on the first bet. This welcome offer is subject to the following Terms & Conditions:

• New customers in Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland.
• Initial deposit and maximum first bet of £10.

The mobile offer is rare in that it does not come in the form of free bets but enhanced odds. The maximum value of the free bets is £50 because the upper odds level for the qualifying bet is 5/1. The offer is achievable in the time frame and the rules are clear and transparent. The welcome offer complements a decent range of dynamic promotions across a number of sports including football and horse racing. Casino players are entitled to a welcome bonus of 100 free spins on selected games.
