Pros and cons of mobile betting
Of course, all this is done primarily for the convenience of the player. However, many players still prefer to use a computer (well, or a laptop), since the disadvantages of playing from a smartphone seem too significant to them. However, more about them later.
Benefits of playing on mobile:
- Actually, mobility. The ability to place a bet anywhere and anytime (subject to access to the Internet).
- Convenient viewing of matches. This is a very important advantage, which makes it possible not only to bet when and where you want, but also to follow the progress of the meeting. Sometimes this is not possible, but if the match is broadcast on the main website of the bookmaker, then the application probably has it.
- Simplified payments. Many payment systems available on the websites of bookmakers are closely related to phones. For example, a bank may require you to confirm a payment or withdrawal with an SMS code, and many e-wallets have their own mobile applications.
- When everything is in your hand, such operations are somewhat easier to perform.
- PUSH notifications. An important but very underrated feature. Unlike the site, the application can tell you if there was a goal in the match you are interested in, or if the match you wanted to bet on started.
- Mobile betting also has its downsides. It is better to learn about them early in order to immediately understand whether this way of playing suits you or not.
Easy access to bets can provoke inexperienced players to make spontaneous and thoughtless bets. The risk of losing in this case is much higher.
Many applications are inferior to sites in functionality. For example, the main version of the site may have a section with results and statistics, but the application does not.
The analysis of statistics requires, as a rule, the processing of a huge amount of information. It is more convenient to do this on a large monitor, and not on a smartphone display.
However, the first problem is solved by the development of discipline. And to search for the necessary statistics, you can use separate applications.
In many countries, betting on mobile is just as convenient as on a computer. Not all bookmakers have come to this yet, however, many already have convenient applications or sites adapted for portable devices. So, here’s what you need to know about mobile betting.
According to the STATISTA service, by the end of 2019, more than half of all Internet traffic came from mobile devices, and this figure continues to grow. Not all Kazakhstani online bookmakers keep up with the rapidly changing market, however, a large part of them have long adapted their services for convenient gaming from both iOS and Android devices.
There are two ways, which, by the way, are not mutually exclusive:
- The mobile version of the site is the same site with the same address, but adapted for convenient use on a small screen and displayed correctly on any smartphone or tablet. Opens automatically when signed in from a mobile device.
- The mobile application of the bookmaker is a separate program for playing from a smartphone or tablet. Usually it has all the functionality available on the main site and allows you to bet without opening a browser. As a rule, you can download an application for iOS on the App Store, but Android users need to go to the official website of the desired bookmaker. All because of the rules of the Google Play Store.
