SportingBet app

This is a review of the SportingBet mobile betting offers for sportsbook. Also, you might consider reading our in-depth analysis of the SportingBet bookmaker SportingBet provides 3 distinct platforms to bet:

  • Mobile website
  • Android application
  • iOS application

Throughout the article, we are mainly giving screenshots and comments on the Android version because of its higher demand in the region. Still, all platforms are indistinguishable in the functionality range for all players.

Where to download the mobile app for Sportingbet?

Both native apps are available to download freely from the official Sportingbet site or application markets. Below, you can read our step-by-step download instructions.

How to Install SportingBet .apk for Android?

Go to the main page of the Sportingbet mobile site.

Press “A-Z Menu” in the lower-left corner – the menu shows up.

Now, closer to the top, the “Download Our Apps” sign appears, with two applications: Sportsbook and Casino. Since we are primarily sports punters, click on the left “Sports” logo.
A new website page opens up, with the Android logo to push on to begin the Sportingbet app download.

P.S. Sometimes, the “Sportingbet application” section doesn’t appear instantly in the menu, so either reload a page or wait for 10-seconds.
To verify you are downloading the official app, check whether the file’s name is “Official_sportingbet_COM.apk”.

How to Install SportingBet app for iOS?

Either repeat the procedure described for Android devices or take the shortcut: visit your App Store application.

Search for an entrance called “Sporting Sports Betting” – word by word.

Click “Download” and approve the installation.

The latest version of the Apple application is compatible with iOS 9.0+ iPhones and iPads.

Mobile Site Vs Android, iOS, and Desktop: Fair Comparison

Being functionally on the same level, there are small differences between the mobile platforms. They might affect your decision.

The mobile app’s design is a complete duplicate of the mobile website version 2021. However, we have noted that button names around the application are made disproportionately small, significantly less convenient compared to the mobile site.

At the same time, the mobile app has its advantages: push-notifications and full-screen resolution. If you are a consistent sports bettor, the mobile app will cause less irritation to your eye in the long run.

Another minor discrepancy: the iOS mobile app offers 20 interface languages, while the Android one and the website are just available across 6 languages.

Also, it’s unclear why the Android mobile application aimed particularly at Sports includes the Live Casino section. Most likely, those are little development gaps to be fixed soon – still, it creates a precedent for us to be concerned about other shortcomings which we couldn’t pinpoint yet.

The iOS app seems considerably less cluttered and adapted to mobile than the Android native app. It looks like a younger brother – elder brother relationship in all aspects. Hopefully, the little brother will nurture with time and some large-scale updates arrive!

Usability

As mentioned before, the range of capabilities is completely the same for all mobile and desktop-based bookmaker options. The SportingBet app has successfully passed our comprehensive technological test. Now, we are going through particular stages which might cause trouble for the customers

Sports Betting

Making a mobile bet is as simple and intuitive as it is supposed to be.

Right from the home page, highlighted and upcoming bets are shown. As a handy shortcut, a winning team/draw result can be chosen right from the menu.

To view all coefficients for every kind of stake, go directly to the match page. There, mobile bets are divided conveniently into thematic sections. For instance, live football offers include Main, Handicaps, Correct Score, Number of Goals, 15 Minutes, and Team Goals.

The Sportingbet service supports a diverse range of virtual sports bets – a burgeoning field now, amidst the Spring-Summer coronavirus worldwide pandemic.

Also, wagers on lotto games are accepted: something rare on today’s bookmaker market. “Build a Bet” exclusive function has just been introduced to the mobile user experience. This allows bettors to add different selections from the same play together into one bet to raise the total potential odds and, thus, cash return.

Live Betting

On-air video streaming has worked perfectly for all live events we have encountered. Apart from that, exhaustive visual and text-based statistics – refreshing in a live format – gives a fantastic overall analysis of the whole play or per rounds/sets/halves.

Visual representation performs flawlessly – a noteworthy advantage for those who struggle to watch a live broadcast due to internet connection limitations.

How to Login

For all platforms, click on the upper-right “Log In” button situated left to the “Register” rectangle. A traditional two-liner to sign in will appear:

  • Email or User ID
  • Password

The “Forgot your Password?” function is supported too. In case you’re not registered yet, SportingBet calls you to do that with the “Register now!” button at the bottom.sportingbet app login

Payments

Deposits and withdrawals operations can be conducted via the following payment systems:

  • Fast Bank Transfer
  • Visa and Mastercard – limited countries supporting withdrawals
  • Ozow – only deposit

Skrill, Neteller, i-Pay, and Payz are supported too – however, they are not mentioned in the Sportingbet’s terms & conditions. This seemingly unimportant fact raises a major concern: systems not spelled out turn out in the “unregulated” field of financial operations. Just be wary of this certain risk factor in regard to the four aforementioned electronic systems.

To make a deposit to your account, sign in and visit the “Cashier” page and click on “Deposit.” Depending on your specific transfer method, you will be redirected to a private page with instructions. To withdraw money, go through the same process, yet tap on the “Withdrawal” option.

The minimum threshold for deposits is 50 Rand – cashed in instantly. For withdrawal operations, a player ordinarily has to wait anywhere from 2 to 5 business days. No fees are charged for any transactions. The deposit cap is not designated.

Additionally, 12-digits promo codes can be used for instantaneous deposits (which is their sole function).

Deposit methods

Here are some of the deposit methods you can use with the Sportingbet bookmaker. As you can see, they’ve resorted to some of the more trusty and known methods, with few limitations.

Name Min Max Time
PayPal None None Instant
VISA None None Instant
Neteller None None Instant
Skrill None None Instant
MasterCard None None Instant

Withdrawal methods

We’ll now explore how to withdraw your winnings, which is similar to the deposit methods as they have tried to show similar capabilities via the most convenient methods.

Name Min Max Time
PayPal £10 None 24 hours
VISA £10 None 72 hours
Neteller £10 £50,000 24 hours
Skrill £10 £10,000 Instant
MasterCard £10 None 72 hours

Sportingbet Mobile Offer


At the moment, there are currently no new offers to be found under Sportingbet’s mobile scheme. This is both good and bad though, making the bookie far more universal in terms of offers, which are as flexible towards mobile as desktop users.

The bad thing is that there isn’t too much reason to be using the mobile app, other than the fact that it is portable.
 

In which countries is Sportingbet available?

Sportingbet is available in a host of different countries, making it accessible to a lot of residents. For example, the Ukraine, Sweden, South Africa, Russia, Romania, Portugal, Poland, Norway, Mexico, Italy, Greece, Germany, France, Finland, Denmark, Czech Republic, Cyprus, and Croatia.

Sportingbet mobile version

The website’s blue colour scheme welcomes you warmly to what we believe is a decent-looking website. You’ll notice that they ask you to register and offer you a host of promotions (which they do in a very tempting manner) in order to prompt you to sign, which we recommend doing.

Though not the best out there, it does the job. However, if you’re willing to have a more slick on-the-go experience, then we recommend for you to download the Sportingbet app for Android or Apple, either using the respective store options on your phone or by picking up the Sportingbet .apk file. The latter is available from their website and can be located with a quick search.

The application is also great to use if you’re looking to use Sportingbet on the go. However, it is not the greatest and small delays occur in between selecting other application services, meaning some wasted time. Though it isn’t robust or quick enough for what we believe makes the best betting apps, it does work well.

Users also have the benefits of a quality interface that allows for easy scrolling, allowing you to check the many live games or upcoming matches and giving time to either plan ahead or make any speedy bets.

Support

For all mobile platforms, 24 per 7 live chat experts and email support constitute the Sportingbet customer service. There is a general trend to reject Call Centre Support – precisely what the bookmaker has done.

Importantly, it’s usually worthwhile to check the Help Centre’s General Information before contacting Customer Service. Yet consider the fact that its information and guides might be really incomplete, elusive, or outdated at times.

Final Rating

Well, up to this point we have finished our meticulous first-person mobile Sportingbet test. Our team genuinely loved the website and app design: blue & white tones along with a neat and tidy layout is indeed user-friendly.

The existing issues are frankly quite minor. The MightyTips team would like to commend the stable performance demonstrated by the Sportingbet apps & site.

FAQ

? Are there any mobile-specific bonuses?
Concise answer: there are none. Still, all desktop promotions, such as Football and Tennis Multi Specials, do continue to work as any Sportingbet mobile offer under similar conditions.
? Does SportingBet offer live streaming services for mobile apps?
Yes, live broadcasts are supported for all logged-in users inside the app – video is high-resolution (among other options) and swift. In case a certain play does not include live streaming, visual play representation with on the air statistics might allure you even more.
? How easy it is to deposit/withdraw money in every application?
Quite simple, even though it depends on the specific payment method you utilize. Go directly to the “Cashier” in your profile after signing in: there, a full list of systems operable for cash in and cash out can be observed. No taxes are imposed ever, fantastic!
Besides, First National Bank (FNB) customers receive close to immediate funds withdrawals.
? Where can I find the SportingBet promotions in apps?
The “Promotions” tab is visible and accessible from the home page. When reached, personal offers for which your account qualifies will be exhibited. Make sure to check out active bonuses for both Sports and Live Sports sections (yes, they are split, strangely enough)
? Where can I find .apk files for iOS and/or Android?
Nothing surprising here: App Store for Apple devices and direct .apk download from the website’s menu for Android. Our friendly advice would be to download SportingBet app ONLY from the official sources. Otherwise, your data may be damaged, stolen, or simply manipulated in a harmful way.
