MOBILE EXCLUSIVE SIGN UP OFFERS
Until recently Betfred also offered an additional £5 free to first time Betfred betting app users. This has been discontinued at present, but Betfred are always towards the frontline when it comes to innovative promotions and offers, so we wouldn’t be surprised were something similar to return in the future. £30 in free bets is not a bad way to set the ball rolling in any case though so perhaps we shouldn’t be too greedy.
Mobile users can also enjoy the full range of promotions, including Cash Out, Best Odds Guaranteed, 2nd to SP Fav, Double Delight and Hat-Trick Heaven. With a Betfred mobile sports betting account, you can also use the same log in details to access other sites, including the online and mobile casino.
Speaking of the mobile app, Betfred offers one of the best currently available. In this article we’ll take a closer look at how the Betfred mobile app works, for both Android and iOS users.

Mobile App
Betfred Android App
First things first. How do we download the Betfred app for Android to our mobile device? When it comes to the Betfred mobile Android app; Samsung, HTC, Sony Ericsson and Motorola devices will all act as a platform, provided they are utilizing an operating system of 4.30 or above. Simply follow the steps below to transport the world of Betfred online betting into the palm of your hand. The process is as simple as for most other Android betting apps
- Register for a new account at Betfred by visiting Betfred’s site.
- Search “Betfred” in the Google Play store.
- Select “Install”.
- Once installed, open the app and Betfred for Android is all yours.
The Betfred app is extremely well designed. Upon opening the app, you will be immediately greeted by the most popular betting events right at the top of the page. Whilst should you be looking for something in particular, a link to the a-z of sporting options is conveniently located at the foot of the home page.
Simplicity and ease of use seem to have been two of the main criteria in the design of the Betfred app, with handy links to in-play betting and the “Next Events Off” being ideal tools for those looking to get to their bet quickly when time may be of the essence.
Fans of the Betfred site will be pleased to hear that the majority of the most popular features carry over to the app, including Cash Out, #PickYourPunt, Double Delight, Hat-Trick Heaven, Acca Insurance, In-Play Betting and more exciting features we’ve come to expect from the best betting apps.
One of our favourite app specific features is the Quickbet functionality. Once selected from the settings menu this enables users to quickly place single bets, without the need to first add your selection to the betting slip. A small thing maybe, but it’s a handy option to have particularly when attempting to place a bet whilst on the move.
Betfred App for iPhone & iPad
For users of iPhone and iPad, the process is just as simple. The Betfred app functions on all devices with iOS 8.0 and above. The steps to follow are:
- Register for a new account at Betfred by visiting https://www.betfred.com/account/registration.
- Search “Betfred” in the App store.
- Select “Install”.
- Once installed, open the app and the world of Betfred is at your fingertips.
In terms of user experience, there is very little – if any – difference between the Android and iOS offerings. iOS users can expect the same sleek and intuitive interface, ease of navigation – nothing is ever more than a couple of clicks away – list of features, and of course those all-important Betfred offers.
One area where iOS users score over their Android counterparts is in terms of the variety of apps available through Betfred. Whereas the sports betting app is available to both Android and iOS, the Betfred Casino, Live Casino, Games, Bingo and Virtual apps are currently only available via iOS.
Only available to new customers from UK & Northern Ireland. You must stake £10 or more at single/cumulative odds of Evens (2.0) or greater on your first bet. Free bet balance of £30 credited within 48 hours of your first bet being settled. Free Bets expire after 7 days. E-Wallet restrictions apply. Minimum 5 game rounds. Game restrictions apply. Maximum 30 Free Spins on selected games. Free Spins expire after 7 days. Full T&Cs apply.
Betfred App Features
Betfred mobile betting app is packed with features, such as in-play betting, real time stats and visualisations, and live streaming of all UK and Irish race meetings (including greyhounds), as well as live coverage of basketball, tennis and a host of other events.
QUICKBET
The Betfred mobile app also includes Quickbet, meaning there are fewer steps needed to place a wager (ideal for when you’re betting on your mobile when you’re on the move), and navigation around the both, Betfred Android app and the one for iPhones and iPads, is straightforward and intuitive.
CASH OUT
In addition, Cash Out is available on selected races (including both single and each-way multiples), football, golf and tennis markets, and gives you the chance to take your winnings early if the final leg of a multi bet or acca looks like letting you down.
LIVE STREAMING
Part of the thrill of placing a bet is of course the ability to watch your selection in action. Punters at Betfred are certainly well catered for in this regard, with live streaming of football, tennis, basketball, horseracing, greyhounds and more all available. Simply place a bet of £1 or more on the event in order to access the livestream.
For us this is one of the areas where the Betfred App really comes in to its own. You simply can’t beat the convenience of being able to see exactly how your bet unfolds on your mobile device, wherever you happen to be.
ADDING BETFRED MOBILE SITE SHORTCUT TO YOUR HOME SCREEN
In this app-heavy world in which we live, it’s understandable that some of us may be a little starved for space on our mobile devices. No need to miss out on the Betfred mobile betting experience though. Simply navigate to the Betfred home page on your mobile device and you will automatically be taken to the mobile optimized version of the website. From here select either:
- More > Add Shortcut On Home Screen.
- “three dots” icon > Add To Home screen,
depending on which browser you are using. The Betfred icon and link will be added to the home screen of your mobile advice.
Deposit Options
Whatever your deposit method of choice, you are unlikely to run into any problems when adding and withdrawing cash to and from the Betfred app, with the following methods all being accepted.
