Betfair Mobile Version Review

The Betfair mobile version has a similar layout to the Betfair app, although it does have slightly different items on the homepage. Just one log in is required for customers to access the app, mobile and desktop sites. Features of the mobile version include: 

• Access to promotions.

• Quick links to popular sports event markets on the homepage.

Betfair App vs Betfair Mobile Site

The Betfair app and Betfair mobile site allow the same log in to be used across the desktop, app and mobile version of Betfair, so customers only need to register an account once. The mobile version of Betfair has some additional features to the app, including access to a comprehensive FAQs section. 

The app has more quick links to different sports across the top of the page, while the mobile site is more focused on directing customers to the most popular upcoming events available to wager on. The same betting markets are available at both the app and mobile site, but the method of access to them differs between the two. Both offer the same functionality in terms of in-play markets and being able to watch live streams. However, when it comes to using the Betfair Exchange, app users are redirected out of the app to the mobile site in order to access it. There is a separate Betfair Exchange app available, should users wish to download it.
