Best Mobile Betting Sites

What is the difference between mobile and desktop sites?

Mobile sites and desktop sites are two of the most common ways to access bookmakers online. The main difference between them is how they are set up for the different devices that they are intended to be used on. Desktop sites are, of course, meant to be used on desktop devices. These desktop sites are meant to take up a larger screen and are designed to have a greater width than a mobile site in order to take up the horizontal screen of a computer.

On the other hand, mobile sites are designed specifically for use on mobile devices, with a design that is able to be used in both portrait or landscape mode on mobile devices. These mobile sites are essentially shrunken versions of the desktop sites of many bookmakers, although some sites do use a different design that is specific to mobile devices to make things easier to use for bettors.

Whichever device you plan on using to do your sports betting, it is worth taking a look at the sites you are interested in playing on ahead of time on your preferred devices. This will allow you to make sure that these sites are compatible with your devices and will make sure that you haven’t signed up for a site that isn’t usable to you.

What is a sports betting app?

Sports betting apps are a different way to access bookmakers on mobile devices. Instead of going to a web browser app and entering a bookmaker’s website to play where you want to play, utilizing an app is a way to get to a dedicated platform for that bookmaker. Bettors have to download the sports betting apps that they want to play with using their device’s app marketplace, such as the App Store for iOS devices or Google Play for some Android devices.

Once a bettor has downloaded their chosen apps, they can create an account or log into their accounts at those bookmakers. From there, bettors can use each app to place bets in a setting that is designed specifically for the device that they are using, with every button scaled to be as easy to use as possible on their device.

Before using a sports betting app, bettors should be sure that they have adequate internet access to download said apps. They should also make sure that their device meets any system requirements that are listed by the app, and that they have the adequate memory requirements on their phone to store the app once it is downloaded. Once all of those requirements have been met, bettors should be able to enjoy their wagering via app with no problems.

Should I bet on a mobile site or app?

There is a case to be made for using both a mobile site or sports betting app and, at the end of the day, which one you use will come down to your personal preferences as a bettor. But there is generally more justification for using a mobile site instead of dedicated sports betting apps, as the mobile sites tend to be more convenient overall.

First of all, bettors are able to access multiple bookmakers via mobile sites without having to download several apps. If you are a bettor that likes to compare odds across multiple sites before placing a bet, that would require downloading a large number of apps, which would take up space on your mobile device. And switching from app to app could be time consuming compared to switching browser tabs.

In addition to the memory capacity that sports betting apps could need, there is the fact that using a mobile site makes it more likely that bettors won’t run into any issues with system requirements the way they could with a site’s corresponding app. This isn’t to say that mobile sites don’t still have a sleek design to them, just that a bettor should be able to get onto any site that is compatible with their browser, whereas some apps might require a more sophisticated operating system.

As a whole, using a mobile browser to access each bookmaker tends to be more efficient than downloading several apps to get to those same sites.
