Will You Be Sports Betting Via Mobile? A Look At The Options

One thing is certain, smartphone technology will only continue to grow as the demand for better, faster technology continues.

Not only can they bet online, they can check the balance of their accounts, look through betting lines and take advantage of limited time opportunities at their favorite online casinos.

Most phones are programmed to be able to work with two different types of apps, native betting apps and web apps.

Native betting apps are those that are downloaded from the App Store or App World depending on which phone manufacture you prefer. Web apps are mobile sites that were created to be able to function with your phone.

And unlike the US law, you are allowed to send payments for online gambling through your phone in the UK, which makes mobile betting even more convenient. If you plan to make wagers using your own mobile phone, you have several different options you can take advantage of.

Here is my list of the big dogs of the mobile industry:
