The best horse racing betting apps 2022
Our thorough review takes into account some of the very best expert opinion and uses Apple App Store and Google Play Store ratings to explain everything you need to know about all of the bookies’ best horse-racing betting apps for iOS and Android phones.
NB: App Store/Play Store ratings were collected by Telegraph betting during February 2021 and will be updated on a monthly basis.
- Paddy Power racing
- Betway racing
- BetVictor racing
- Bet365 racing
- Betfair Exchange
Our top five horse racing apps: bookie-by-bookie breakdown
1. Paddy Power Sports Betting
The people have spoken in favour of Paddy’s app in their droves and they’re not wrong. It’s a brilliant horse racing betting app for numerous reasons. First and foremost is the ability to live-stream all UK and Irish racing for free – you don’t even have to place a bet to watch.
The stream is of the very best quality all the time, with a good feed that makes it accessible for customers to watch whenever they want. As well as this, there’s the option to turn your phone and make it landscape if you wish to watch in a different layout, which allows for even better viewing than if you were to watch via Paddy Power’s desktop site – another huge positive to using the app.
Navigation on the page is fantastic and it is very easy to access the races and all the markets that are available. There’s also a host of tipping content accessible in-app if you’re after advice, while special offers are particularly well signposted. No horse racing bettor will want to miss out on those.
App Store rating: 4.7 from 112k ratings
Play Store rating: 4.5 from 15,179 ratings
2. Betway Sports
Betway’s “Sports” offering is another really strong all-round horse racing betting app with live streaming of UK, Irish and some international racing either free or available to any punter with a positive balance or an open bet.
This app is one of the very best when you look at the quality produced, especially for punters who are into their different racing promotions, daily specials and odds boosts. The #betyourway specials and daily boost sections are available on the homepage of the app each day next to all the biggest meetings in racing, ensuring that you never miss out on the brilliant offers that are available.
App Store rating: 4.7 from 20.5k ratings
Play Store rating: 4.1 from 3,379 ratings
3. BetVictor Sports
The BetVictor Sports app is another rock-solid option for punters. Live streaming of UK and Irish races is available for anyone with a positive balance or who has placed a bet in the previous 24 hours, with no bet on the race necessary.
Both two-factor login and touch login (if your phone supports it) are available, making this app particularly strong from an account security perspective.
For punters who have a horse they know they want to back ahead of betting, navigation to a specific race is one of the most straightforward processes out of all of the apps. However, the excellent BetFinder feature is this app’s USP for horse racing betting and should not be underplayed.
The best part of betting on horse racing with BetVictor is the facility to find horses using different metrics, such as previous course winners, yards in form, Timeform ratings and other categories.
App Store rating: 4.6 from 22.9k ratings
Play Store rating: 4.1 from 2,306 ratings
4. bet365 Sports
It was with utter shock that we found that this app from the world’s most popular sports betting site wasn’t a shoo-in for the top five on App Store/Play Store ratings alone. Luckily Telegraph Betting is on hand to ensure you don’t miss out on a great horse racing betting app.
You can live-stream UK, Irish, French, Australian, US and South American racing as long as you have bet 50p or 25p each-way on the outcome and the quality of the stream is high calibre. There’s no slimming down of the world-beating amount of race markets on offer either, but the app still loads promptly.
Our favourite handy feature is the Alerts service. Use it to be notified when the horses in your race are going down, when the race starts, if there are any non-runners or get sent the result if you can’t catch the action live.
App Store rating: 3.2 from 4.9k ratings
Play Store rating: 3.7 from 3,805 ratings
5. Betfair Exchange
If you’re into laying as well as backing horses download this app, which does a remarkable job of presenting all the information you need without overcrowding your screen.
There are some terrific features available on the Betfair Exchange that are on the desktop as well as the app, and that includes the fantastic live-streaming service that is smooth and reliable. It is also easy to access the Betfair Sportsbook and the Betfair Casino from within the same app.
App Store rating: 4.7 from 17.1k ratings
Play Store rating: 4.2 from 2,259 ratings

Other standout horse racing betting apps
Tote Placepot
A tailor-made horse racing betting app for players of the Tote’s multi-leg Placepot, Quadpot and Jackpot pool bets. If that’s you, this app is infinitely better than hunting around to find the Tote tab on another bookmaker’s app. It’s great for a lot of horse racing experts and allows a mixture of combined bets that win part of the prize pot.
App Store rating: 3.9 from 17 ratings
Play Store rating: 1.9 from 25 ratings

BoyleSports
BoyleSports has done an excellent job in making its horse racing betting app better than the desktop version, which not many have done, with some much improved features on offers over the last few months. The mobile app has really good navigation and accessibility with a smooth user interface for all customers to enjoy during their time using the BoyleSports app.
Their Combined Odds feature is a lovely option that not many other bookmakers offer. It allows you to pick up to three horses to run for you in a race, then gives you odds for any of the trio to win.
App Store rating: 4.1 from 286 ratings
Play Store rating: 2.8 from 906 ratings
