Betfred Betting App Review

Last Updated on 28/10/2018

A major player in UK and international online sports betting, Betfred has mobile betting apps that you can download for free for iOS iPhone and iPad from iTunes, and for Android smartphones and tablets directly from Betfred’s desktop site. New players get a generous Free Bet Welcome Bonus when you register for an account, and Betfred’s app gives you access to a huge range of racing and sports markets from across the globe. In addition, Betfred also has an online casino, live dealer casino, bingo and poker rooms, and so offers punters a truly comprehensive online and mobile gaming experience.

New Customer Bonus

Betfred have a reputation as one of the friendliest companies in the business and certainly extend a warm welcome to new customers through their excellent Betfred sign up offer, and it couldn’t be easier to take advantage. Simply follow the steps below.

1. Register for a new account with Betfred online or via your mobile device.
2. Deposit and place a single bet of £10 or more at odds of Evs (2.0) or greater.
3. Receive £30 in free betting credit within ten hours of the settlement of your initial bet.
4. To top it all off, following the above will also grant new users 30 free spins on a specified slot game. In the competitive world of betting online the Betfred new customer offer is very close to being top of the pile.

• Deposits made via an e-wallet such as PayPal or Skrill, or via a pre-paid Visa or Mastercard do not qualify for this bonus.
• The opening bet must be settled within 60 days of the bet being placed in order to qualify for the promotion.
• Free bet stakes will not be included in any returns.
• The offer is only available to customers in the UK and Ireland.

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.

Promotions

Regular punters in the Betfred sportsbook app can take advantage of a huge range of special offers and promotions across all markets.

Best Odds Guaranteed

One great promotion by Betfred is the Best Odds Guaranteed promotion on all UK and Irish race meetings.

If the SP (Starting Price) of the horse you back to win comes in at greater odds than you received, you’ll get paid out at the higher price. You can also enjoy 2nd to SP Fav, where if the horse you back to win runs second to the favourite (at SP), you get your stake refunded as a Free Bet (up to the value of £25). Selected UK and Irish races also give you Extra Places, where they pay out place finishes down to fourth, rather than just to third place.

Double Delight and Hat-Trick Heaven

When punting on football with the Double Delight and Hat-Trick Heaven promotions, if you have a First Goalscorer bet, and that player then goes on to score a second and/or third, your payout is doubled or tripled respectively. For rugby fans, the Double Delight promotion also applies to First Try Scorer bets.

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

1.  Register for a new account at Betfred by visiting Betfred’s site.
2. Search “Betfred” in the Google Play store.
3. Select “Install”.
4. Once installed, open the app and Betfred for Android is all yours.

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:

1. Register for a new account at Betfred by visiting https://www.betfred.com/account/registration.
2. Search “Betfred” in the App store.
3. Select “Install”.
4. Once installed, open the app and the world of Betfred is at your fingertips.

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.

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.

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.

Deposits & Withdrawal 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.

All deposits are processed instantly. The Betfred withdrawal options are the same as those available for deposit with the exception of the Paysafe card which can only be used for deposits. The Betfred withdrawal time can take up to 48 hours to be processed, and then the standard 3-5 working days to hit your account. The Betfred withdrawal time for PayPal may take up to 12 hours longer than the Betfred withdrawal time for debit cards.

Markets

The Betfred bet app gives punters portable access to a huge range of markets on racing and sports from across the globe.

Horse Racing

You can bet on all Irish and UK race meetings with Best Odds Guaranteed (and enjoy the action streamed live to your mobile or tablet), as well as racing from Australia (metropolitan and provincial meetings). You can also punt on virtual races, and there is a great range of bet specials and exotics for major meetings, like Royal Ascot and the Cheltenham Festival, as well.

Football

Football fans are also catered for extremely well, with a range of markets (including over/under, correct score, half time/full time, etc.) on every Premier League, Bundesliga, Series A and La Liga match, as well as other leagues from around Europe, and you also get special markets and promotions for tournaments like the Euros and World Cup.

Major Sporting Events And Other Sports Available

The Betfred mobile betting app also has other major sporting events like Wimbledon and the US Open (golf and tennis) covered, and you can bet in-play on all matches throughout these tournaments. For North American sports fans, you can bet in-play on NBA, MLB, NHL and NFL matches, and you can take a punt on Australian Football (AFL) as well.

Betting On Politics, TV And Much More

If you like to have a punt on something more off the beaten path, you can bet on the Tour de France and Europe’s other major cycling races, Gaelic Football, hurling and motor sports — or you can even get markets on political events (who will win the next election, or who will be the next Prime Minister, etc.), TV reality shows and entertainment industry awards.
