Why betting apps are better than mobile sites
With over 80% of Nigerian bettors betting on their smartphones, mobile betting has well and truly taken over the Nigerian betting scene.
Online sports betting in Nigeria has come a long way in a very short space of time.
About a decade ago, physical betting shops were the order of the day. Bettors would visit these shops to open betting accounts, make deposits, place bets, withdraw winnings and carry out virtually all of their betting activities.
Things have changed. Online betting has now become a self-service activity with a vast majority of bettors able to access betting sites on their mobile devices.
Initially, many betting sites only had mobile versions of their desktop sites, optimized to fit into any smartphone or mobile operating system.
However, mobile betting has since evolved into betting apps. A lot of sites now have standalone apps specifically designed to improve the mobile betting experience of their users.
But are betting apps really better than mobile betting sites?
There are arguments in both directions.
Some casual bettors prefer mobile betting sites simply because they do not have to go through the extra step of downloading a new app on their device.
Why should they download the app when they can easily perform similar functions on the mobile site?
By using the mobile site, bettors don’t have to worry about the operating system on their phone or the version of the OS. For example, a betting app may be available for android devices and not for iOS or Windows products.
Using the mobile site eliminates these complications.
All you have to do is to visit the betting site on a regular phone browser and start betting!
Having said that, betting apps also have their own advantages.
Extra care is taken in the design of betting apps to ensure that they are smoother and more convenient. The usability and gaming ambience of the apps are much better than that on mobile betting sites.
While mobile betting sites can sometimes appear like compressed versions of the desktop sites, apps generally take on completely different designs, projecting the most important features of the site.
Betting apps are also enabled with features like push notifications, through which the app notifies users of information like upcoming matches, live scores and latest promotions.
Some betting sites like 1xBet even have additional features like one-click registration on their betting apps, while other sites have app-specific promotions and bonuses.
Betting apps have all the features of mobile sites plus a little bit more.
Most betting apps are very light files that only take up a small fraction of the phone memory. The best betting apps consume minimal data and hardly disrupt the general workings of the phone.
Mobile betting sites are OK, but betting apps generally improve the mobile betting experience.
Android users can only download betting apps directly from the mobile betting site. This is because the Google Play Store currently doesn’t accept betting apps in Nigeria. For iOS users, they can find many betting apps in the App Store.
So, if you have never used a betting app, try downloading one and experience the difference!
