Betfair app review

The Betfair sports Android app is heavily touted as one of the best around; it is packed full of features and betting tools to help you place your bets wisely and help maximise your returns. One of the most striking features of the app is the choice of colours. Brilliant orange draws your attention and keeps you focused on your betting. However, the actual features of Betfair are what makes it such a good choice for placing your bets. As one of the pioneers of the betting app, Betfair has been around a long time, and this latest incarnation of their app for Android is one of the best going. Super fast, easy to use, reliable with some excellent additions to help you maximise your bets, and get your best returns.

Betfair is a company that needs no introduction. Pairing up with fellow bookmaker Paddy Power in 2015, the company are now one of the biggest gambling institutions in the world and have millions of customer from all around the world. They were one of the first to introduce a betting app and have gone on to update it, refine it, and continuously make it better and add new & exciting features.

Standout features

• Acca edge
• Quickbets
• Each way edge
• Live streaming
• Same game multi
• Fast bet
• In-Play betting

Betfair is likely to appeal mainly to football fans, and the app for Android boasts high odds throughout live games, offering a vast range of In Play markets, as well as multiples and accumulator type bets. Not only that, but Betfair offers their own promotion for accumulators on football bets called ‘Acca Edge’. Effectively, you are covering yourself should your accumulator fall short by one, taking a slight hit to the odds, but still walking away with something from what is essentially a lost bet. The Betfair app also offers the ability to cash out on qualifying bets, a now essential tool to any punter looking to make some cash. If you don’t want to cash out all of your bet, use the handy cash out slider and vary the amount you want to cash out.

Don’t be fooled to think this app just covers football…..there is a huge market choice with Betfair. You will find everything from boxing to ice hockey, badminton to political betting, rugby to MMA, and loads more sports. Find what you want to bet on is super simple thanks to the easy to use menus you will find on the app.

Betfair Android app features

Betfair doesn’t forget those horse racing fans out there, and the app offers an excellent choice for racing fans. They offer promotions for large events such as Cheltenham and the Grand National and make it very easy for you to switch between times from a meeting. This results in you being able to add multiple selections from a single event, without the need to navigate away from the section you are currently looking at. Eager to get that bet on? Well with the updated app, you can now place your bet with just two taps……….genius! Betfair also offers form stats, rider stats as well as information about previous performances by the horse to help you make better choices with where to put your wager. As with football betting, you can also cash out on your horse racing bet too with Betfair, something that not a lot of other bookies can offer.

Betfair’s Android app is really intuitive, and the large, clear text makes the navigation and readability of the app a great example of how it should be done. There are clear sections for your account, where you can control every aspect of your account directly from the app, as well as control your deposit limits, deposit and withdraw funds and view your active and previous bets. The app offers everything that the desktop site can offer, in a really sleek and striking environment. The Android app from Betfair loads extremely fast and provides push notifications for your bets once they are in play. You can also get updates on scores on the games you have bets on for too.

Like all modern betting apps, you not only need to place bets on existing markets, you want to be able to build your own. Well, with Betfair, you can thanks to their Same game multi-feature. Just like any build your bet option, you can make your own bet from a range of markets. Select the number of corners, cards, goals, first goalscorer, and loads more. It is an excellent feature that really has changed the way we bet, especially on football.

Betfair also offers lots of promotions that are all available on the app and mobile site, including Enhanced Price Specials, SMAccas & Double Odds on your Goalscorer bets. It is worth always checking out the promotions on Betfair as they are among some of the best in the business.
