Mobile Betting Sites
You can do almost anything on your mobile phone these days from ordering your groceries to booking a round-the-world holiday. And betting sites have been as swift as anyone to embrace the mobile revolution that has taken hold in recent years, giving football betting fans numerous opportunities to place bets when out and about, whether sitting on a bus in a traffic jam or when in the pub waiting for the big match to start.
Since the biggest and best bookies in the business (such as the ones featured below) recognised that sports betting fans were likely to want to use their mobile devices to place a bet or two, they have invested heavily to cater to them. The result is that many bookies now have excellent mobile interfaces that work well on more or less any smartphone and often have the same betting options as the desktop versions.
The reason any of this is even possible, of course, is because of the advances in the power of mobile handsets and tablets, as well as the capabilities of the mobile networks to transfer more data faster than ever before. As such even activities like in-play betting and watching live streams of football matches can be undertaken on some mobile betting sites.
With bookies suggesting more than half of new customers are now using their mobiles to register and bet, we expect even more developments in this area and, this is the good bit, plenty of mobile-specific betting offers and bonuses to encourage your to bet when you’re out and about too!
Here we take a look at the bookies we feel have the best mobile betting sites of any in the industry, giving details of the features that make them stand out from the crowd.
