Betfred Apps - Download The Latest Android and iOS Versions (November 2024)

Founded in 1967, Betfred is a household name when it comes to betting and its apps have continued the legacy. Indeed, the Betfred app has a comprehensive sportsbook and a range of casino games, making it a versatile choice for punters. It is also one of the reasons why Betfred is considered among the top 10 best bookmakers in the UK.

As expected, Betfred is available on both the Apple and Google App Stores, boasting a high rating on both platforms. On the App Store, there are more than 27k thousand reviews with an average rating of 4.4. Although the rating is slightly lower (3.8) on the Google Play Store, there are nearly 20k fewer reviews.

Either way, having an average rating of 4.1 from 35k reviews across both app stores is fantastic and cements the app among the best ones in the UK. You can download the official Betfred apps by using our links below.

Deposits and Withdrawals on the Betfred App

Betfred offers many different payment methods for its customers, both on the website and on the app. Popular options such as PayPal and debit cards can be used for deposits and withdrawals, with punters also able to deposit as little as £5 on the app. Neteller is the only outsider with a minimum deposit of £5.50, which is still low.

We also tested the withdrawal time of Betfred and the result was positive, with the funds arriving after around 90 minutes. We have listed everything you need to know about the payment methods on the Betfred app below, so take a look:

Betfred App Sports Review

Although the main focus of Betfred is the sportsbook, the range of sports is not as extensive as some of its competitors. However, the app still features the core sports that would be expected for UK punters. Football and horse racing are the key sports, while the likes of darts, MMA and snooker are quite popular as well.

The Betfred app makes navigating the sportsbook very easy for customers. From the homepage, there is a featured section, an in-play section and a ‘Next 5’ section. The first two are just what you would expect, while the ‘Next 5’ area is a nice addition. This allows punters to easily find horse racing and greyhound events as they are about to start, which is a rarity across apps.

Betfred app sportsbook home

Those who are after something specific can tap on the ‘All Sports’ option in the bottom tab, and a menu will be provided of all the available sports.

Betting on Football on the Betfred app offers a good experience for punters, with a scrollable menu listing ‘Featured’ matches, ‘Matches’ in general, ‘Competition’ markets, ‘Coupons’ and ‘Specials’. Additionally, several promotions and price boosts are shown at the top of the app, such as Betfred’s Acca Flex promotion.

Betfred’s bet builder is titled ‘#PickYourPunt’, which allows you to combine a decent range of different markets into one bet. These can be player to score, player card, result and much more. However, there are some limitations, as the app and website only support a maximum of five selections which is a lot lower than other great bet builders.

In addition to football, there is a focus on the horse racing section of the app. There is a scrollable menu here as well, albeit this time there is a choice of days of racing, as well as the option of some ‘Special’ and ‘Antepost’ markets. Also, there is a vast range of racecourses to place bets on.

Another area where Betfred excels is its streaming options. Although not all football games will have live streaming, the app offers customers a ‘Commentary’ tab for fixtures, and this extends to other sports like Horse Racing - you can also livestream broadcasts of horse and greyhound racing.

Betfred App Casino Review

Betfred’s Casino interface is easy to navigate and can be found via the ‘Games’ option in the bottom menu. However, the options are not as broad as other apps. From slots to table games, the app has a nice range of traditional casino games which could come in handy for some punters, especially given they are in-app rather than on another application.

Additionally, you can search for games to play thanks to the search tool in the top right corner of the screen, in case you are looking for something specific. While the library is not as comprehensive, there is a casino bonus to claim and the games offered will certainly suffice for those who only play every now and then.

Indeed, the main focus of the app is the sportsbook and not the casino, which certainly shows.

Customer Support on the Betfred App

Getting support on the Betfred App is quite straightforward compared to its competition. When on the main area of the app, tap the ‘More’ option, shown by the three dots in the bottom right corner of the screen, and when this page loads, there are several options to choose from.

Betfred offers general help and safer gambling sections while also providing three dedicated contact options: ‘Complaints’, ‘Contact Us’, and ‘Live Chat’. The ‘Help’ and ‘Safer Gambling’ areas offer general support query options, with a contact option attached to each query.

betfred app customers support

The live chat initially connects you to an Assistant Bot, but it can connect you to a member of the support staff if you wish. Additionally, you can contact Betfred’s customer support team via telephone by calling 0800 028 7747 between the hours of 8 am and 8 pm.

You can also reach them by email at [email protected] or send a letter via post to their listed address.
