All the apps listed on this page are from reputable bookmakers who are fully licensed and regulated in the UK. They are safe, secure and compliant with UK gambling regulations, meaning we know they are trustworthy and play by the rules.
1. bet365
- Our rating: 4.78
- Google Play rating: 4.6
- App Store rating: 4.7
When I look for an app with live streaming, I look no further than bet365 . They have by far the best live streaming in my view, covering top football leagues like the Bundesliga as well as top tennis events including Grand Slams.
2. Coral
- Our rating: 4.58
- Google Play rating: 4.5
- App Store rating: 4.6
Coral is another of the well-respected traditional UK bookmaking brands that have been on the scene for years. Like all their competitors, Coral has an easy-to-use interface and offers a wide range of sports and in-play markets.
3. BetMGM
- Our rating: 4.50
- Google Play rating: 4.3
- App Store rating: 4.4
Established in 2018, the US brand is now attempting to conquer the UK market. BetMGM is the sponsor of the 2025 Premier League Darts season and they also have a brand association with Newcastle United.
But, what about their app? Well, as a new kid on the block, BetMGM has invested heavily in modern technology and has an app that is the equal of the more established brands, if not better. It certainly has a silky smooth look and offers everything I would expect to get from a top-quality bookmaker.
And one final thought, as a relatively new player in the UK market, BetMGM is only going to improve as it learns what works and what doesn’t.
4. 888 Sport
- Our rating: 4.48
- Google Play rating: 4.4
- App Store rating: 4.5
888 Sport has a good welcome bonus and they also offer live streaming, odds boosts, acca insurance, and all the usual stuff you will expect to receive from a reputable bookmaking brand.
5. BetVictor
- Our rating: 4.68
- Google Play rating: 3.1
- App Store rating: 4.7
One of the first things that stands out about the BetVictor app is the low ratings approval from Google.
There have been some stories of the app crashing on Android devices, but I can’t say I’ve experienced this happening. That said, compatibility issues must be affecting some people.
The bonuses are clear and easy to understand, and judging by the App Store reviews, there is little problem using the app when it is working as it should.
BetVictor is another of the established UK brands that have been on the scene for over 70 years. One negative we found was that the live streaming could be more varied. But overall the app was fine, and like all the top UK brands, there were plenty of sports to choose from and adequate markets in each of them.
6. Betway
- Our rating: 4.40
- Google Play rating: 4.6
- App Store rating: 4.8
Another of the newer bookmakers, Betway, was established in 2006. The company has a brand association with West Ham and has made huge strides in recent years to establish itself in the UK gaming market.
The Betway app ranks slightly better with Apple users than it does Android, but there is little difference. Our own rating is slightly lower than both. This is down to the limited customer support that does have room for improvement.
7. Betano
- Our rating: 4.38
- Google Play rating: 4.4
- App Store rating: 4.8
With the level of investment the company is making in building its brand, I wouldn’t be shocked to see a shiny new app appear any time soon.
8. SBK
- Our rating: 4.33
- Google Play rating: 3.5
- App Store rating: 4.6
SBK is by far better to use on the app than it is on the desktop. That’s not to praise the app too much, there is little special about it, but it ticks all the required boxes and does what it says on the tin.
The main reasons for using SBK are their competitive odds and the sheer amount of markets they offer. There are 25+ sports and topics to bet on, with numerous markets available for all events.
There are no gimmicks with this company. And as a lesser-known brand, they certainly don’t spend their budget on marketing. The biggest attraction to SBK is its simplicity, competitive odds, and variation of markets.
9. BetUK
- Our rating: 4.33
- Google Play rating: 4.3
- App Store rating: 4.6
Part of the LeoVegas group, BetUK has been active in the British market since 2018. The brand is still young and it’s fair to say, it’s still learning. There are reports on Trustpilot of basic things going wrong, but there is plenty praising the app for being up to scratch and working well.
I find BetUK is one of those bookmakers that I notice, but it doesn’t leap out at me as a first-choice platform to place my wagers. Maybe this is down to a lack of marketing, brand building and eye-catching promotions.
Overall, the BetUK app is fine. It covers all the basics and has live streaming and best odds guaranteed. You won’t go wrong with it.
10. Tote
- Our rating: 4.3
- Google Play rating: 4.6
- App Store rating: 4.6
Offering Tote bets makes this app perfect for horse racing fans. But elsewhere, there is room for improvement.
11. Unibet
- Our rating: 4.28
- Google Play rating: 4.1
- App Store rating: 4.1
Another bookmaker that fits into the ‘work in progress’ category. Unibet’s customer service takes a battering on review sites, with the company not even attempting to explain themselves or their actions.
But it’s not all bad. Where they lack in one area, Unibet seems to excel in others. The app is easy to use, and like with all the apps in this review, it does what you expect and need it to.
Unibet’s live streaming is also exceptional with Unibet TV, and one thing I really do love is the option to bet live and watch the stream at the same time. Other sites that offer live streaming don’t always get that part right, meaning you have to open new screens or pages to place a bet.
12. Spreadex
- Our rating: 4.2
- Google Play rating: 4.3
- App Store rating: 4.7
But punters seem to love Spreadex . They’ve got a decent rating on Trustpilot (where they are active), and bettors like their live streaming, their stats centre, and all the information they offer on the event.
The app is fine. It’s nothing special, but it works well, is easy to navigate, and I have no complaints.
13. Kwiff
- Our rating: 4.18
- Google Play rating: 4.3
- App Store rating: 4.6
Don’t let the shortage of sports covered on the Kwiff app put you off. The sign-up process is smooth, there is a decent welcome bonus, the app is user-friendly, and as a newer company, it is polished and looks the part.
The best part of Kwiff is the chance to get your bet boosted. Kwiff boasts that 90% of their users had bets boosted in February 2025. Joining is worthwhile for that reason alone.
14. LiveScore Bet
- Our rating: 4.13
- Google Play rating: 4.2
- App Store rating: 4.7
There are one or two negatives with LiveScore Bet, but overall, there are plenty of positives.
The positives are that LiveScore Bet is one of the easier and smoother apps to use that we have reviewed on this page. The bookmaker also makes an effort to reply to negative remarks left on review sites and attempts to explain itself in detail.
LiveScore Bet has plenty of live-streaming options, including tennis, badminton, horse racing, football and basketball. They also have regular football money-back specials for new and existing customers, and I really love their 5+ match acca offer where you get paid out in full as a winner if all your teams were winning at half-time.
We also use Flying Eze Factor our unique ranking system to determine if a bookmaker or a casino has what it takes to be showcased to our readers.
ð Licensing, regulation, and security
Starting with the most important things first, all the apps I have recommended possess licences issued by the UKGC.
This includes checks for having adequate cyber security, ensuring fairness, implementing anti-money laundering practices, verifying your age through KYC and also looking after your data.
Having timeout options and making them easy to find is also crucial, and something the UKGC will also make sure is available to players.
It’s not the perfect case of one size fits all. Some bookmakers cover some sports better than others. Personally, I like cricket, so I look for an app that covers that in more detail. You might prefer hurling or the NHL.
Our recommended apps cover the main sports in detail and offer more than enough markets to bet on. But you may need to dig a bit deeper to find the ideal one for you.
ð³ Payment methods and fast payouts
ð± App user interface and experience
If the app is offering boosted odds or a free bet, you shouldn't have to go looking for it, it should be there for you to use when you open your bet slip.
Load times are also extremely important. Waiting ages for a screen to open so you can place your bet in play is no longer an option.
Regular promotions and bonuses are a must in 2025. This includes existing customers, not just new ones.
ðº Live streaming
The only thing that can beat your bet winning, is watching it happen live. And that’s what makes live streaming so exciting.
Unfortunately, we can’t get the Premier League on live streaming, but we do get access to a whole host of top-quality sports action from across the globe.
âï¸ Customer Support
With plenty of options to choose from, bookmakers can no longer expect us to keep coming back if we have a bad experience. Therefore, they have to offer us a higher level of customer service.
We are talking top-quality around-the-clock reliable customer support, with options like live chat, email, or phone support for the very minimum requirement.
All our bookmakers are UKGC-regulated so they have to offer this high level of customer service, allowing you to bet with confidence.
