Betting apps have always been a controversial topic for Google Play. Prior to the summer of 2017, Google Play would not allow any betting for real money using apps from their store. This was in contrast to Apple, who freely allowed betting apps to be downloaded from the App Store.
Having changed their rules over gambling apps, it did not take long for the top players in the industry to begin adding their apps to Google Play. Gone are the days of having to download a betting app directly from the bookmaker website on Android devices. The question is, what are the best betting apps in Google Play?
Bet365 is one the biggest names in the online betting industry. As one would expect from a huge company, their betting app is excellent. Complete with pre-match and in-play markets, live streaming and cash out options, the Bet365 app does not disappoint. Navigation of the various sports markets is simple and placing bets is easy.

Moving on to a more recent addition to the gambling world and Paddy Power was established in 1988.

However, you cannot fault their betting app which is one of the easiest to navigate on the market. You can watch and bet in-play on all live horse races in the UK and Ireland using the Paddy Power app, request odds and take advantage of the risk free first bet offer.
