Review Criteria – How Are Apps Rated?

It’s all well and good showing star ratings for each of the betting apps listed above but what do they mean and how did we come up with them?

Well it’s not complicated. We simply used the following four key areas to review and rate the different mobile betting platforms. The combined score in all categories resulted in our overall ranking for each individual application:

New customer offer & promotions

Obviously one of the most important areas to look at when rating any online bookmaker, regardless of their app, is what new customer offer they have running and if they have any decent promotions available for loyal customers.

Apps which scored highly in this section had both a strong opening account deal and promotions running alongside. We always prefer the larger offers and the ones which reward customers with the highest percentage bonus wise (e.g. bet £10 get £30 being a 300% bonus).

We’re less keen on risk free bets here, as if you win you don’t really get a bonus, and any bookies not rewarding loyal customers were also scored down.

Acca insurance and best odds guarantees on various different sports were also a big plus point in this section along with any price boosts, weekly free bet clubs or money back specials.

Features

When reviewing each apps individual features we were really looking at in-play betting, cashing out your bets, live streaming and search functionality / navigation options on the app itself.

If apps were easy to use and featured popular markets of a good search function then they scored high but if it was tough to drill down into the markets to find the less popular bets then we marked them down.

Obviously the less of the other features, such as live streaming and cash out, on offer the lower the bookmaker scored. On the flip side if the app offered live streaming of multiple sports alongside in-play betting they scored highly.

What users think?

This is likely the most important in all our betting app reviews simply because it deals with what users think and say about the app.

To gather this data we used reviews from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store to try to come up with an overall view of what actual users of the app like and dislike about it.

It’s important to note that we took into account the latest version of the app more strongly than the scoring for all versions. It’s only natural that as new iterations of the app get released fixes are put in place and the latest offering, 99% of the time, is the best version of the app.

What we think?

Obviously we’ve used and tested all the online betting apps listed above and in this section we have our say on the app and give it our out of 5 star rating.

This is an overall look at everything the app has to offer combined along with any other likes or dislikes we have concerning each app. The star ratings you see in the listings above are our ratings for each different bookmaker app with the best bookmaker apps, obviously, having the higher scores.

Got any questions about our review process of the apps listed above? Disagree with what we how we’ve rated the best mobile betting apps? Get in touch using our contact page and let us know your thoughts.

At BettingOffers.org.uk, we showcase the latest betting offers from leading UK online betting sites and bookmakers. And unlike most betting guides, we list all offers – not just the ones for new customers.

Below you’ll find a list of the best free bets currently available – these are introductory offers that can only be claimed when signing up (hence ‘sign up bonus’ or SUB). If you don’t have accounts with the bookmakers and betting sites in the table, we strongly recommend getting one as they are not only some of the best bookies on the web, but they also offer a large majority of the cashback offers that we list elsewhere on the site.

New Betting Sites For 2020

Below you’ll find details of the latest betting sites and online bookmakers to launch, or open their doors to the UK market. Just like the rest of the site we’ve carefully vetted each and every site before adding them so even though they’re new, they still come with our stamp of approval.

Sport Nation

Sport Nation represent one of the best new betting sites that we've seen in a long time. They are well funded and run on SB Tech which is packed full of features and markets and the same platform that sites like 10bet use. It's also refreshing to see that they don't scrimp on the loyalty offers either.

This Week in Sport: 1st to 7th March 2021

We have plenty of Premier League and EFL Championship football to look forward to this week, with action in midweek and at the weekend. The Arnold Palmer Invitational will take place on the PGA Tour, while the England cricket team continue their tour of India with the 4th Test at the cavernous Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Premier League: Manchester Rivals Lock Horns on Sunday

On Monday night, Everton and Southampton meet at Goodison Park, while leaders Manchester City entertain Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday. Three games will take place on Wednesday, with Leicester City and Manchester United both in action. Liverpool and Chelsea do battle in a mouth-watering fixture at Anfield on Thursday night.

You’ll have to make your own entertainment on Friday before Burnley and Arsenal get the weekend’s Premier League action underway with a fixture at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon. Later in the day, Aston Villa host Wolves, while Leicester travel to Brighton & Hove Albion. We have four games to get stuck into on Sunday, with the Manchester derby between City and United at the Etihad Stadium topping the bill.

EFL Championship: Canaries Host Bees on Wednesday

There are two more fixture lists in the Championship this week, starting with six matches on Tuesday night. Mick McCarthy’s high flying Cardiff City entertain Wayne Rooney’s Derby County, while Reading and Blackburn Rovers square off at the Madejski Stadium.

On Wednesday night, promotion rivals Norwich City and Brentford do battle at Carrow Road in the standout Championship fixture of the week. Also, Watford host Wycombe Wanderers, and Swansea City travel to Stoke City.

With several big names taking part, who will prevail in Florida this year?

Cricket: India v England 4th Test

The 4th and final Test between India and England for the Anthony de Mello Trophy will take place at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad this week, with the action set to get underway on Thursday. England won the 1st Test, while India hit back with a win in the 2nd game at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Popular Offers

In this next section we’ll cover the more common types of offer that a lot of bookmakers tend to offer. That doesn’t mean that they’re all the same though, as you’ll find that variation in the terms can make a big difference to the value of an offer. For each promotion we’ve written a guide comparing the betting sites that offer it, explaining how it works and how to make the most of it.

  • Accumulator Insurance – A very popular promotion that’s offered by many bookmakers, yet varies wildly from site to site. The basic premise involves getting your money back (usually as a free bet) if only one leg of your accumulator loses. However, what you can bet on, and how many legs you need to place is different at pretty much every bookie. Some offer it on BTTS accas with 4 or more legs, whilst others will let you bet on any market in any sport, but require at least 6 legs. So which offer you go for is going to depend on what you want to bet on.
  • Accumulator Bonuses – Alternatively, if you’d favour a bonus on your winning accas over insurance on your losing ones, then go for an accumulator bonus. These payout an extra bonus of between 5% and 100% on your winning bets, with the actual percentage depending on the number of legs.
  • Loyalty Offers & Free Bets – On this website we feature many money back specials and other offers that can be claimed by existing customers at a bookie, but this section looks specifically at bonuses, rewards and free bets that are available to all customers. Included in this guide are reload bonuses, loyalty programs and even who’s more likely to dish out free bets.
  • Best Odds Guaranteed – A simple promotion, but one that can make a big difference to your winnings. This offer normally applies to horse racing and/or greyhoud racing and guarantees to give you the better odds out of the SP and the price you took. So if the odds drift, you’ll still get paid the bigger price, and if they shorten, you get the longer odds you originally took.
  • Price Promise – Price promises are most common in horse racing, but sometimes happen in football and other sports as well. Put simply, the bookmaker guarantees to offer the best odds when compared to other bookmakers. And if they don’t, they’ll match it. Put simply, a price promise means you don’t need to go hunting for the best odds, as you’re guaranteed to have them.

Bookmaker Reviews

For most of the bookmakers listed on our website we’ve also written detailed reviews. You can find a list of these below, sorted alphabetically. If you’re looking for a quicker read, we’ve also written summaries of our top 10 recommendations on our betting sites page.

About This Site

Pretty much all of the big UK bookmakers offer money back specials and promotions for the big sports betting events, and the bigger the event, the bigger the offers. But keeping track of these offers can be a nightmare – especially when you consider that bookies tend to release their promotions at the last minute.

So that’s where we come in. At Betting Offers we list the best offers from trusted and reliable bookmakers (you’ll probably recognise a large chunk of the betting sites we feature) all of which are neatly categorised by sport and removed from our listings as soon as they’re no longer available.

On all of our list pages we sort the offers according to the date the promotion expires – so a cash back special for tonights game will appear higher on the list than an offer for tomorrows game. However, some bookmakers run ongoing promotions that are valid for multiple games – because these either have a longer validity period (or no expiry date at all) they will appear towards the end of the lists. So it’s a good idea to have a scroll through to make sure that you don’t miss out on an offer that you might otherwise be interested in.

Betting Offers Explained

Just in case you’re scratching your head wondering what we’re going on about, we figured it’s probably worth giving you a quick run down on the different types of promotion you’ll find on this website:

Introductory Free Bets/Bonuses

The first is for sign-up offers and welcome bonuses – to claim these you will need to be a new customer at the site. These promotions are usually in the form of a completely free bet, matched bet or deposit bonus. These bonuses are great for general betting and there are plenty of them – you can either browse our list at the top of the page to see our favourites, or for a longer list, head on over to the free bets page.

Retention Offers

The second type of offers are open to everyone – including both new customers and existing customers. Some of these offers such as have been running for a long time, whilst others relate to a specific event and end very quickly. This second category of promotion is incredibly varied and consists of:

  • Cashback/Money Back Specials: Here you receive your money back if something specific happens. For example you might get your money back on a correct score bet if a red card is shown at any point during the game, or if your horse loses by less than a length.
  • Reload Bonuses: Top up your account with the bookie and they might give you some bonuses to bet with. For example, get a bonus worth 50% of your next deposit.
  • Product Incentives: Sometimes a bookmaker will offer up some free bets or bonuses to try out a new product or market.
  • Enhanced Payouts: This is where your bet will be paid out at higher odds than normal. For example, you could get paid out at triple odds if you place a Lucky 15 bet and only get one winner correct.
  • Free Bets: Last up are free bets which are making an appearance here as well as in the introductory section. Sometimes bookies will give out free bets if something specific happens such as correctly picking the winner of a featured horse race with odds over a set threshold (eg: 4/1).

There are, of course, other kinds of offer and the bookies are very good at coming up with new and unique ideas to keep their punters happy. So take a browse of the latest offerings in the feed above and see what takes your fancy!
