AK Bets didn't exist as a brand five years ago. Being that new to what is a crowded marketplace is certainly not easy but, in the case of a mobile app, it should help. It was already clear that apps are crucial for punters when AK Bets chose to take the plunge down that path.
Our AK Bets app review will explore how much of a good job it has done at delivering on that front. First, however, we need to look at how to actually download the app.
It's available for Android and iOS devices, with your best route of download being to go directly to your chosen app store. Once on the app store, search for the term 'AK Bets'. You're then looking for a black icon that features a bold orange 'AK'. Click it.
You will be able to see screenshots of the app here, explore previous information about app upgrades and recent releases. The key things to note, though, are two-fold. First, the app is small in size at just 21.8MB, which means it is highly unlikely to have any running issues on any smartphone.
The other point of interest is the customer reviews. The Apple App Store puts it at a 3.5 out of five rating, which is above average. We don't want to dismiss any customer review, but it is worth keeping in mind the overall number is a relatively small sample.






If you are an existing AK Bets customer, you can sign in to the app following your standard login details.
If, however, you are a new customer, then you can download the AK Bets app and register in it. Doing so is easy; simply follow our step-by-step process below:
When you open the AK Bets app, you will see three options positioned in the top right-hand corner. Amongst them is a 'Sign Up' button, which features a document and pen icon. Click it.

You have two fields to fill out in this next step. First, you need to enter an email address and, secondly, create a password.
Once done, click on the orange 'Create Account' button.

There is now a three page registration form to complete. Follow the process through, populating the required fields. These focus on personal details, marketing preferences and responsible gambling triggers.
Each page of the process is intuitive and contains troubleshooting messages when you haven't provided the required information. Once you are content with the information given, click on the orange button at the bottom of the page to advance to the next step.

Once you are a registered punter at AK Bets, there is a strong chance that you will want to deposit funds to your account.
You can do that by following our step-by-step deposit process below:

For our deposit process, we are assuming you are already signed into the app. When you are, you will see a head and shoulders icon located in the top right corner of the app header bar, which will state an account balance underneath. Click on it.

You will now be in your account overview page. Located on the left-hand side, you will see an orange 'Deposit' button. Click on this to advance.

At the top of your new screen, you will see a grey 'Amount' box. You can type your specific deposit amount here, or use the orange value buttons immediately underneath as quick deposit options.
Within this page, you will also need to choose your deposit method. When the relevant details have been completed, tap 'Proceed'.

Before you can finalise your first deposit, you will need to confirm your payment details. Populate the form you are presented with.

Sooner or later, you will probably find yourself wanting to withdraw funds from your AK Bets account. You can withdraw directly from the app, following the below steps:
When logged into the AK Bets app, head to your account section in the app header.

Now you're in your account overview screen, locate the 'Withdraw' button, which sits next to the more prominent 'Deposit' option. Click on withdraw.

The 'Amount' box can be manually populated with your desired withdrawal amount, whilst an alternative option is to use the quick reference amounts, which are detailed by the orange buttons.
You can now click on the orange 'Withdraw' button.

If you are looking to understand the true ins and outs of the AK Bets sportsbook, then we would recommend taking a look at our in-depth bookmaker review. Here we are solely focused on the quality of the AK Bets app, which means we will analyse performance, structure and usability, not market depths and margins.
The top third of your sports homepage is dominated by featured events and offers. These rotate on a cycle and can be switched with a finger swipe; it's a good route to explore trending deals and sporting events that might otherwise pass you by.
Beneath that, you get into a horizontal menu bar, which can be scrolled through. The responsive, icon-driven menu walks you through the array of sports offered by AK Bets and is followed by top events and associated odds.

Whilst those highlighted events will be of interest, your most common route of travel is likely to be to a specific sport. If you navigate to a sport from the menu, your view will change, albeit not in a huge way.

Taking football as an example, you will see a dropdown menu appear at the head of the page; this enables you to isolate a specific competition. You then have two horizontal menus - both scrollable - to look at specific betting forms and markets. Further down the page, you can clearly see fixtures and the attached odds.
If you want to explore betting markets in more detail, clicking on an event changes your screen again. Quick filter options on the menu can aid you here, but you can also expand and collapse markets as you wish by scrolling up and down the page. It's easy to use, with odds unmistakable.

All of the AK Bets casino options exist in one part of the app, making it easy to navigate. Working from the top down, you have special offers and promoted games taking centre stage, which can be scrolled through with ease.

Then, under that, you have a horizontal menu that allows you to flick through the abundance of different casino categories, including "Table Games", "Classic Slots" and "AK's Favourites". Included in this scrollable bar is the ability to filter by software company, whilst a search option is also available if you know what you are looking for.

Beneath that, you get into an extensive array of gaming options. Sub-headings and deeper "view all" drilldowns are clearly labelled but, even so, you still have visibility of a good range of games, all of which are cleanly presented in large thumbnails. It means interacting with the casino page, no matter what you're doing, is slick.
The main way to liaise with the AK Bets customer support team via app is to access the 'Help & Support' page through the main menu. This is located in the top left corner, courtesy of the three horizontal line icon.
Despite this being the easiest route to support, links to the customer service tools - live chat, email links and general FAQs - also exist in other areas of the app, such as the account section and in the footer.
It's not exactly consistent, and the view you end up with when clicking through could be more aligned. That being said, the service you get at the end is prompt and informative in our experience. AK Bets really cannot be accused of hiding away from its customer base, with so many avenues to initiate conversations.

To suggest that the AK Bets app is the perfectly polished article would probably be a step too far, but we certainly feel fine to suggest that regular users of AK Bets should download the app, though.
It is well-structured, everything interacts as you'd expect and it does make for a marginally slicker experience than having to navigate through a mobile browser. All in all, there is a lot to like.
