Founded in 2016, CopyBet initially focused fully on its website. In 2020, however, the bookmaker finally delivered with an app and stated that it had 'made social betting even easier', whilst not lessening the quality of the product.
While still building its reputation, CopyBet's mobile apps have received mixed reviews across platforms, with a noticeable split between iOS and Android users.
Despite the gap, the iOS app’s performance is particularly impressive, even ranking among the top 30 sports apps in the store at times. The Android version is less used and has a smaller review base, which may be affecting the overall score.

If you would like to find out how to register on the CopyBet App, you can follow our step-by-step guide below:
Once you have downloaded the app, signing up is rather easy, as is to be expected, especially as you must sign up via the app to access the registration bonus.
In the first step of the registration, you need to create your CopyBet account by entering an email - once this is done, you will be sent a verification code and then have access to an account. Alternatively, you can just use your Google or Apple account.
After creating the account, you will be redirected to your profile page. Here, you will see the option 'Verify In 2 Min' in the top right corner. Tap on this to continue the process.
On the verification page, you will be asked to choose your verification method: 'Use Driving Licence' or 'Use Another ID'. Choose the option you prefer and then follow the instructions given to complete the verification. Once complete, you can begin betting.
We have tested the deposit and withdrawal processes on the CopyBet app, but since they are rather comprehensive subjects, we have dedicated pages for you to check out. On those, you can find all the details about the methods, the step-by-step process and other helpful tips.
For many of the best betting apps, you will be loaded into an area which shows some of the fixtures of the day, highlighting the best there is to offer. With CopyBet, however, this is really not the case.
Instead, customers are welcomed to what is essentially a profile area, with the site displaying a promotion, an 'Invite Friends' initiative, whilst also showing off the balances in your accounts.
From this home page, you have to tap 'Pre-Match' to actually find a 'traditional' sort of homepage area, though even this is really lacking. Rather than being given a list of some of the best fixtures, it just shows a list of leagues.
There are some 'Featured Events', however, some of these games were almost a week in advance, which again is a poor reflection of the site.
To its credit, the site boasts a nice range of sports available, which can be found by tapping the three lines in the top left corner. The expected options are all present, but the app also offers some unexpected sports like NASCAR and Aussie Rules. In total, there are more than 30 sports offered, including Esports.
Heading over to the 'In-Play' area brings a bit of a shock, with the area actually being slightly better put together than the 'Pre-Match' section, which is definitely a rarity.
Navigating a football fixture in the app is quite easy, though getting something like that wrong is hard if we're being completely honest. The area could definitely do with a little work, with each section being an open tab, which makes scrolling a bit difficult.
The search feature, on the other hand, is a nice addition and does help when looking for specific markets.
That being said, the feel-good factor of the area comes to an end with the bet builder area, which seems like a completely different build, considering the colours change, and it comes up in a new tab. It certainly is not the best bet builder we have tested, put it that way.
Horse racing betting is possible on the app, and there are some niceties to it. For example, the layout is quite good and best odds guaranteed is offered. However, the range of markets is really poor, meaning you can definitely find better.
Considering the quality of the rest of the app, it is not really a surprise that no casino section can be found. Then, of course, it is worth pointing out that CopyBet does not even have a casino on the website version, having decided to focus solely on the sportsbook.
It is quite ironic, therefore, that the site claims it is 'more than a sportsbook' when you first open the app. That clearly is not the case and while you could argue the tipster feature does add something extra, that is not enough.
Accessing the customer support area of the app is not the easiest thing to do at all, and this is a huge frustration for us. Bookies will normally make the area easily accessible, but the same cannot be said for CopyBet.
Customers will not be able to find a designated 'Help' section of the app in the menus, and instead have to go to settings to find the hidden 'Help' area, which then takes you to an FAQ centre outside the app.
Furthermore, there are no contact options on the app or even in the help area. In fact, searching 'Contact' brings up an article on how to become a tipster. At the risk of sounding overly harsh, it is one of the worst customer support sections on an app that we have ever tested.

I've used the CopyBet app sporadically, as you would imagine, just to browse things. Admittedly, that sporadicness has now extended, as the app lacks a lot of the main qualities that an app should have.
It is no surprise to see a smaller brand regress with time if the site does not take off, and this has very much been the case with CopyBet. At one point, it seemed like a rather decent bookie, but now it just feels like another poor option in an already oversaturated market.
For example, you would imagine that a bookie would switch to £5 deposit limits from £10, in an attempt to incentivise usage of your site. CopyBet, however, went the other way and as a result, I can only see them continuing to fall.
