Notable Features

The Bet9ja mobile app is basically a mirror of the web version, only more mobile-friendly. Most of the features that are available on the web version are also available on the mobile version. Some of the notable features include the ability to cash out your bets, access to virtual betting, in-play betting that also comes with live streaming, and then the numerous betting options that Bet9ja is known for. The in-play feature allows you to follow a game in real-time and take advantage of betting options you can pick out while following a game. Through virtual play, you can place bets on Bet9ja virtual league, and other virtual sports such as horse and dog racing, as well as tennis. These games are also presented in high definition (HD) animations with great sound effects to boot.

Usability and impressions

The mobile app offers the same, if not more, awesome user experiences associated with the Bet9ja website. The layout has the same white and green signature colours associated with the brand. The top menu, top games, betslip, register, and login buttons are placed at the bottom of the screen. On the mobile app, everything is really concise, and it’s very easy to locate whatever you are looking for.

Conclusion of our Bet9ja mobile sports betting test

After browsing through the Bet9ja mobile app, we believe that it amplifies the user experience that you enjoy on the web version, making for a joyful experience on mobile devices. It offers most of the important features such as cash out, virtual betting, in-play betting, and live streaming. One drawback may be that Bet9ja does not offer any special bonus for the mobile app users and so there’s no specific extra encouragement to install the app. Overall, if you’re an Android user always on the go, the Bet9ja mobile app is a must-have.
