The race book may be in need of improving, but it can still easily compete with all major bookmaker web-sites.

Live In-Play Betting

The live in-play betting console provides live odds for events as they happen, while punters are allowed to watch sporting events and bet on the outcomes for the duration of the event.

Mobile betting has arrived at 888Sport too, one of the most established and publicly listed gaming companies. 888Sport have been running and offering sports betting, casino and poker services for a while now, but they have only recently made their mobile betting breakthrough. The app works on all iOS, Android and Blackberry devices (Windows too), and practically any mobile device that can be used to surf online. If you like a brightly orange app that will help you in your daily betting, check out the 888Sport app.

Some punters make fun of the design saying you need sunglasses in order to use the app. Well, it’s true that the design is a little bright, but it’s the corporate colour, and it’s not that big of a deal actually, since the app’s basic purpose is to help you place bets quicker and easier, which it does. If you are already an active 888Sport customer you should be used to it by now. The contrast however helps you read the text very easily. The icons are quite stylish, minimal and way better than text based offerings in other apps.

The 888Sport mobile betting app has a decent range of markets to bet on, along with some great live in-play betting odds. When used for the first time it will check your location and will make sure that you are in a country where online gambling is not illegal. Once you’re in the app you can check your history and get live scores and odds updates. Live streaming of events is available only via the website, but hopefully it will be available through the app in the future.

iPhone

The 888Sport mobile betting app for iPhone is available for download from the App Store. With it you will be able to view the latest live betting markets and many daily ones too.

Android

The Android app of 888Sport was designed with Android mobile phone users on the mind, rather than tablet users. Using this app will require the latest version of flash installed on your device.

iPads & Other Tablets

The 888Sport mobile betting app is compatible with all iOS and Android tablets.

The 888Sport mobile betting app mainly is concentrated on horse racing and football. There is a great selection of European and International football competitions, so it’s a definite must for football fanatics, but there are about 30+ other markets to bet on too.

888Sport is one of those operators that will allow you to bet on almost every sport there is, from the most popular ones to the most obscure sports like water polo, surfing, trotting, martial arts and futsal. If you want to place a bet just click on your preferred match and it will automatically come up on your bet slip, but it won’t calculate what your return will be. The In-Play betting section is strong and provides easy management of your selections and displays all matches scheduled for the day.

Currently, 888Sport gives £5 risk-free bet to all punters that have downloaded the app to their mobiles. It’s not the most generous offer out there but it is decent and way better than no promotion at all. Don’t get your hopes down, you will get £88 in free bets anyway if you register an account and place a bet for the first time, which makes up a lot for the £5 risk free bet. Just place a minimum bet of £10 and you will be eligible for the offer. If your bet loses it will be refunded with the same value of your stake in the form of a free bet. Keep placing further bets to reach the maximum of £88.

The unusual thing about the 888Sport mobile betting app is that it is not strictly a betting app that needs to be downloaded and installed on your device in the conventional sense, although you can do that, which is great in terms of updates. It’s mostly used as a web-based app.

888Sports offers a mobile betting mini-site too that is accessed through any mobile device and is fully optimised for any mobile. This makes it lot less complicated to use (it’s not that installing and downloading would be that difficult, it’s just that you cut the procedure and go straight to the chase) and on the plus side your browser will help you gain better navigation through it. Just add a shortcut to your mobile home screen so you can access it on a daily basis and have fun.
