If you don’t want to use the mobile betting sites and prefer a devoted app instead, perhaps you have been wondering why most betting apps can’t be found in the Google Market. The reason is that Google has a rigorous policy against gambling and forbids apps that have such a title to be published on its store.
Recently, the company has started to make some exceptions, thanks to which global gambling leaders have successfully made their first steps in specific markets. However, this happens only by paying a massive fee, which is why listing a betting app on the Google Market is rather the exception, and not the rule.
How to Download a Betting Application on Android?
The bookmaker that you’ve chosen to play on has certainly listed the installation steps for its Android app on its website. Nevertheless, there are some vital steps which are similar for all apps, so here are they:
Open your phone’s settings. Select the Security menu and allow the installation of apps from unknown sources.
Visit the website of the bookmaker you’ve chosen. The platform will detect that you’re accessing via an Android device and will offer you to download the app.
Once the download process is complete, the installation should begin automatically.
If you wish, you can add the bookie app on your home screen.
It’s advisable to go back to and return your settings to default.
