I’ve heard many things about Bet 365, so it only made sense that I check it out for myself. I am big on using my mobile to place bets and watch them, so it was important that there be a Bet 365 app for me to use. I work full-time, so the only way I am ever able to meet wagering requirements on new sportsbook promotions is to use my mobile device when I’m taking a break at work. I also like to have access to my account whenever I want. Fortunately, there is an app. There’s also a new customer offer that I found to be very good because it gives you a 100% match on your deposit up to 100 GBP. The minimum deposit is 5 GBP. I decided to deposit 50 GBP, which gave me a 100% match of 50 GBP.
In my opinion, the best promo for mobile users is the Bet365 app itself and the fact you can use the generous welcome offer using your mobile device.
I have an Android device, so I was prompted to download the app when I visited Bet365 using my phone’s browser. This was great. All I had to do was tap at the top of the page that I wanted to download it. Being experienced with downloading sportsbook apps, I automatically go to my security settings under the settings menu on my phone to tap the “unknown sources” box. This is necessary to ensure that Android apps not on Google Play can be downloaded to your device. There are certain policies that prevent some sportsbooks from being able to make their apps available in the Play Store. Fortunately, sites like Bet365 make it simple, and it’s easier when you make sure you allow your phone to download from unknown sources.
What I was surprised to find was that there isn’t a direct link to the iTunes store for iPad and iPhone users. I used to own an iPhone, so I know how simple it is to go to the iTunes store from your device and do a search for what you want. It’s not a big deal that there isn’t a direct link to make it easier, but I was a little surprised since Bet365 has such a great app.
I like how I am sent push notifications of new matches and promotional opportunities. However, I was very excited to get to work on using the 50 GBP I received after I made my 50 GBP deposit.
As I said earlier, I collected 50 GBP because it was a 100% match on my 50 GBP deposit. After I got started with Bet365, I started to doubt my decision because depositing the entire 100 GBP would have given me 200 GBP to play with.
Nonetheless, I worked with the 100 GBP I had and had fun doing it with the Bet365 app. Of course, I had to read the terms and conditions to ensure I used the bonus money correctly so I could cash out any winnings. Reading the terms and conditions of an offer should be the first thing you do before or right after accepting it. For instance, you aren’t getting any credit for the releasing of your bonus to your account if you bet on events with odds less than 1.20. You must also bet through your deposit one time before the bonus is applied to your account.
If you win, you can’t withdraw the bonus because it’s simply there for wagering reasons.
I feel that the way I carried out the process of opening my account, making my first deposit, acquiring the bonus, and using the bonus allowed me to get the most out of bet365 on my mobile device. Here is the process that I followed:
Step 1 – I opened an account: I actually went to my computer first and opened the account. I explored a little, which is how I found there was a mobile app. You can click “Join Now” from the app page to get started. You can even join from your mobile device. For me, this is a personal preference as long as a promotion doesn’t rely on me registering from the app. I simply provided all the information requested and I was finished. I wasn’t even obligated to make a deposit right then and there, but the terms and conditions of the new customer offer state that there’s a 7-day window after account opening to make the deposit to qualify for the bonus.
Step 2 – Initial deposit: I went ahead with my initial deposit. Again, I read the offer terms and conditions and it stated that I couldn’t use Neteller, Skrill, or Skrill 1-Tap to make my deposit or I’d forfeit the bonus. I wrestled with whether to deposit the entire 100 GBP so I could receive the 100% match of 100 GBP, but 50 GBP was more comfortable for me at the moment. I did notice that bet365 accepts quite a few payment methods, including Apple Pay. I thought that was nice.
Step 3 – Download the bet365 app: Since I’m an Android user, I was prompted to download, so all I had to do was tap the little box that popped up on my screen to download the file. My advice, however, is to make sure “unknown sources” is tapped under the security section of your device settings so you have no problem with the download. Apple users can go to the iTunes store. I went there via my computer to see the app reviews.
Step 4 – Activating the offer: To activate the offer, I had to play through my deposit one time before the bonus was made available in my account. For me, this was 50 GBP. I played through it once on events with odds of 1.2 or greater and had to wait for those bets to settle before the bonus was made available. Fortunately, it only took about an hour for those bets to settle.
Step 5 – Using the offer: You use the offer just like any other cash in your account, but you have 30 days to use them. I did secure some withdrawable cash from the use of my bonus. It wasn’t much, but it was exciting. Of course, I couldn’t withdraw the 50 GBP bonus because it’s there for stake reasons only.
Overall, the experience has been nice. I noticed in the iTunes store that the app has a rating of 4 out of 5. This impressed me because there are many sportsbooks apps out there that are lucky if they have three stars. While the Android app and iTunes app are for different devices, I always use iTunes as a guide on the quality of the app since the absence of the app in the Google Play store gives me no reviews to go on there. I’d say my experience has matched the iTunes rating.
I found the bet365 app to be very safe. It operates just like any other app. Just because you may need to allow unknown sources on your Android device doesn’t mean that it is unsafe. Checking unknown sources under device security simply means that you trust app downloads from sources other than the Google Play store. Overall, however, I have found bet365 to be very transparent in its terms and its overall operations. You better believe that I checked out their licensing and affiliations before I ever handed over my information. It’s always ideal to do your research first because money changes hands in one way or another.
In the end, I’m pleased. This sportsbook runs like others I’ve tried, but what is very unique is the welcome offer and the fact there aren’t any ridiculously difficult wagering requirements that must be met to cash out the winnings. The main hurdle that must be jumped is betting through your initial deposit so the bonus is released. The Bet 365 app, however, functions well. I haven’t dealt with crashes or other issues that could compromise the experience. It helped me put my deposit money and bonus money to work while I was on meal breaks and even sitting at my kitchen table. I don’t always feel like sitting at my computer, so it’s nice to know that I have access to thousands of events no matter where I am. With that said, I believe I am going to stay with this one for a while to see where it takes me.
