188Bet Mobile App Review

Before we go into more detail about the features that are available at the sportsbook, our 188Bet review needs to stress out that the operator does not have a native app. The mobile platform is a web application or a mobile-friendly version which you access via the phone’s browser. This means that you don’t need to download or install any files on your device. Instead, you have to use your browser every time. One of the benefits of a web app is that it is compatible with a wide range of devices and operating systems, meaning you don’t have to worry that your phone or tablet will not be able to run the 188Bet platform. Another benefit is that the browser version will update on its own, so basically, you don’t have to deal with that yourself. And if you want to have quick access to the site rather than opening your browser, typing the address and waiting for it to load, all you have to do is add a shortcut to your home screen. How do you do that? It’s easy. Just tap on the three vertical dots on your browser when you have opened 188Bet and choose the option “Add to Home Screen”. This will instantly create a shortcut on your phone. Every time you want to place a few bets, just tap on it and it will take you directly to the mobile site. Basically, everything. If you can see it on the full site, then you will certainly find it on the platform. The tool lets you do all the things you would do on 188Bet through your computer with a relative breeze. Signing up and logging in are a piece of cake. Making selections, checking out your betting slip and settling a bet are also possible and require just a few taps. Let’s dig into more options.

Review of the Navigation

An important thing about any mobile version is user experience, and this is what we are going to talk about next. As a whole, the browser version offers the same stuff as the full site, the only difference is that the icons, fonts and features are much smaller because the space is obviously smaller. Of course, the layout is a little different too since it has to fit a phone’s screen. But generally, it follows the same colour scheme and design as the full site. The main body is in white and the rest of the screen is grey. The menu is in grey too. The layout is a bit typical: at the top, you have the Log in and Sign Up buttons, a Home icon and a Sports icon, in the main body are listed various markets that are currently on offer, with odds and other options. At the bottom, there are some details about the company, including licence and contact information. The layout is slightly different from that of other betting apps, but the changes are insignificant to how you navigate the platform. The only trouble is, it can be a little confusing because the sports are repeated a few times, and at first glance, it appears that there are two menus. There is an icon with three vertical dots and another one with three horizontal lines. The former displays the main sports offers a shortcut to the in-play section and also accommodates a Settings section. The latter contains links to support, live chat and also displays the language in which you are currently viewing the site. Another confusing thing for us is that the betting slip is nowhere to be found until you make a selection. Once you choose a market, the betting slip will show up. If you close it, it will remain at the bottom of the screen in the form of an orange-coloured bar. It will reappear when you tap on it. However, if you remove the existing selections or don’t have any selections at all, the betting slip will not be visible. Perhaps the operator did not want to bother you with an empty betting slip sticking out from a corner and putting you off. They decided it is best to make the slip visible only when there are selections on it. It is important to note that by default the odds will be displayed according to your country of registration or the region you are currently logged in. If you want to change the format, go to the menu and find the “Odds Type” section. When you tap on it, a box will appear showing you all of the available options. As of the time of writing this review, there are four possible odds formats: Hong Kong, Indo, Malay and decimal. The reason there are so many Asian formats is that the operator has a large presence in some Asian markets.

Bonus Offers

188Bet likes to treat its customers with occasional giveaways. They do have a welcome bonus just like every self-respecting sportsbook out there. You will receive a free bet of £20 if you bet £10 on any racing market or sports. The free bet itself cannot be cashed out as per the terms and conditions of the offer. However, you are free to withdraw any winnings associated with it providing that you complete the 1x rollover requirement at even odds or greater within 14 days of receipt. We say the requirement is very easy to meet as compared to sign up bonuses at other bookies where you must turn over the bonus and stake amounts at least 20 times or so. Please, make sure to read the full terms and conditions of this promotion since they are paramount to you making the most out of this bonus. If you have a look at the promotional page on 188Bet, you will notice that there are a multitude of offers, including casino-specific giveaways, special promotions, and poker promotions. Currently, there are a few sports-related treats for existing members, and they come in the form of Acca insurances on rugby, tennis and golf. The general idea is that you get refunded if one selection of your Acca bet lets you down. It is a wise idea to have a look at the offers yourself and also don’t forget to read the requirements they come with.

Live Streaming and Betting

There are plenty of markets to choose from: Volleyball, Lottery, Ice Hockey, eSports, American Football, Motor Racing, Cricket, Golf, Darts, Handball, Special Events, and plenty of other markets. Football has wide coverage; think: AFC Champions League, UEFA Europa League, Spain Primera Division, Germany Bundesliga 1, UEFA Champions League, English League Cup, Italy Serie, Australia A League, FIFA World Cup, and much more. The profit margin on football is very low and the betting limits are high. This makes the site ideal for people who want to make a profit. Of course, low rollers will also have fun with the sportsbook. The odds are also good. In fact, the operator claims their odds are much better than those at a betting exchange. In addition, there is a live betting section. According to the bookie themselves, there are about 10,000 live events on offer each and every month. There are plenty of football markets – in general, more than 400 leagues, including Norway Cup, Argentina Primera Division, Japan League 1, Greece Division 2, Denmark Division 1, Bulgaria Cup, Russia Division 1, France League 2… It’s practically impossible to list all of the leagues in this post.

Withdrawals and Deposits

Making monetary transactions is seamless with a wide variety of payment methods on offer, including direct bank transfer, Skrill, Skrill 1-tap, Visa and Neteller. Those are the most popular international methods of payment that are used by the best online sportsbooks out there, but it should be noted that the operator supports a range of local providers too. When you select your country of residence upon registration, you will automatically be offered the methods that are available in your country. The good news is there are no charges on the sportsbook’s end, but be aware that your bank provider may incur some fees. The minimum and maximum deposit amounts vary from 10.00/50.00 ~ 30,000.00/50,000.00 in the currency you have chosen. Available currencies: GBP, USD, EUR, IDR THB, MYR, HKD, VND and SGD. Please note that verification may be required when you request a withdrawal. This is a standard procedure.
