Compare the top 10 betting apps in the UK which are tested, ranked and reviewed by our mobile betting experts for December 2024.
Each online betting app is licensed, safe and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and offers both Android and iOS apps.
Betting apps have become incredibly popular in recent years as UK punters now opt for convenience when browsing sportsbooks. Although most mobile website betting sites are of good quality now, bookies tend to add more features to betting apps and it is also much faster to place the bets this way, with many of them now offering fingerprint sign-in.
Many bookmakers have even gone to the length of making app-only free bet offers for new customers, so naturally most UK punters use the apps these days. While there are some really bad ones out there, mainly courtesy of new betting sites, most of them are actually really good and you cannot really go wrong with the established brands.
Our list above, therefore, is more of a guidance as 'the perfect app' also depends on your personal preferences. Some of the apps are better for horse racing, for example, while others are better for football betting.
I have reviewed over 15 of the most prominent betting apps in the UK for BettingLounge, and while I didn't find any of them to be bad, there are a few options that stand out. Before delving into my three favourite betting apps, it must be said that a lot depends on personal preference, such as which sport you usually bet on, if you need live streaming and so on.
Therefore, I attempted to be as 'neutral' as possible with my reviews, assessing all aspects and even those that perhaps don't matter as much to me. It should also be noted that the list above is a mix of the best and new betting apps, as it's always good to test new apps as they enter the market. The ones below, however, are my favourites.
