22bet Betting App Review for 2024

Here we go through all you may need and want to know about the 22bet app, one of the best known sports betting apps available to the Irish market. Here we provide our user review, including how to download the app, and what it’s like to play with and use once you’ve installed it on your phone. We go through the good and bad, and reveal what the 22bet app is really like.

So why should you download the 22bet app? In fact, should you at all? Well, the simple answer is ‘yes, it is worth downloading the 22bet app’. Here are the reasons why: 

• Loads of pre-event and in-play betting options, with loads of markets, and all accessible on the 22bet app.
• A good in-play (live betting) experience, including the quick bet and edit bet features that have proven so popular with 22bet customers. And importantly, cash out is available on the app too.
• All the features and bonuses that you can avail of on the desktop version. You can live stream events and get results too.
• All the support and banking options available on the app that you would get on the desktop.

So there’s our overview of the 22bet app. They don’t make it the easiest app in the world to download, and the navigation of the app can leave a bit to be desired, and that’s a criticism, but all in all there is plenty to like and plenty of reasons to download. 

You’ll be happy to know that all of 22bet’s much loved sports betting site features are also available on the 22bet app. Those features include:

22bet’s Live Streaming

22bet claim to have more than 20,000 live streamed events annually, including on loads of top leagues and competitions. All accessible on the app too!

22bet’s Cash Out

Cashing out is a massive deal for punters these days, so it’s good to know that you can do just that with 22bet.

22bet’s Quick bet and Edit My Bet features

Place live bets at the simple click of a button with Quickbet, and the Edit My Bet feature allows you to play with existing bets.

22bet’s bonuses

The bonuses on 22bet are pretty innovative. As well as a decent welcome bonus, you can avail of a football mania lottery,us, an accumulator bon a Friday reload sportsbook bonus, a losing bets bonus, and even a bonus for your birthday!

22bet’s Virtual and eSports

Another area in which 22bet excels is in its virtual and eSport serving. These include Call of Duty, DOTA 2, League of Legends, Overwatch, StarCraft, and more.

22bet’s Stats and Results

If all the above wasn’t impressive enough, 22bet also offers up a stats and results service that can help inform your betting and keep you up-to-date with what’s been happening.

Here’s a pretty important question: how do you download the 22bet app?

Well, for a start, and inconveniently, you can’t find the 22bet app on popular app stores. But what you can do is visit the website and scroll down to the bottom of the screen. There you will see a box titled “mobile applications”. Here you get the option to download the app for android or iOS. Once you click here the installation instructions will appear. The 10 steps to follow here aren’t necessarily difficult, but awkward would be a better word to describe it. One thing is for sure, if 22bet are serious about punters downloading their app, they need to make it all a little easier.

Signing up with 22bet can be achieved either on the desktop site or the mobile app. Either way, the process is the same. As well as entering all of your regular personal details, you may have to upload the types of documents that are commonly asked for as part of sports betting sites’ KYC (Know Your Customer) policies. These policies are required as part of licencing conditions so there is nothing out of the ordinary here.

So what makes a good betting app, you may ask? Well, here are the traits and features we think you should look out for.

The first is the full range of features that you can expect from the normal desktop site. That means the live streaming, bet builders, cash out options and bonuses that your regular site offers. If you lose anything because you have gone to the app, then that is a bad sign. Luckily most apps wouldn’t dream of leaving you short.

The next important point is navigability and general ease of use. Can you get around the app simply, and is it simple to place a bet? What about the display? Is the font big enough, and is enough information available (and fitted on the screen)?

Then you want to make sure you can access those fundamentals such as banking and customer support from the comfort of your app. Anything that cannot be done from the app is a major ‘no no’.

And one final point. Make sure you compare the live betting capabilities. If there is one thing you’ll almost certainly use your app for, it’s making in-play bets. This is where your app really should excel. How easily can you select and place your live bet? An app should make this easy. If your app doesn’t do this, it’s a really bad sign.

22bet offers up loads of deposit options, including most of the popular options, more of which you can read below. In terms of making a deposit, things couldn’t be easier. Once you have registered your new account, go to ‘my account’ and follow the necessary steps to deposit. Please note the regulations surrounding your deposit will depend on the format chosen, and withdrawals may only be possible via the same channel.

Available Payment Methods

22bet has great banking options on both the desktop and mobile app. Starting with classics such as credit and debit cards, you can also deposit and withdraw using popular eWallets such as Neteller and Skrill. Other banking options available here include PaySafe, ecoPayz, Sticpay and boku. You will probably like to know that bank transfer is available too, and then there’s even crypto in the form of bitcoin and Ethereum.

📍 Notable absentees include PayPal and Apple Pay.

When it comes to betting with the 22bet app, everything is pretty straightforward. As previously mentioned, the general navigation around the desktop site and the mobile app can be vastly approved upon. However, in terms of available sports and markets, there is a stunning variety, including all those sports and games that are popular in Ireland. As well as all the usual betting site sports such as football, rugby, tennis and golf, you can bet on horse racing, greyhounds and even GAA. And whereas most sites that offer Gaelic Games have a token 2/3 markets, here there are plenty of markets to get stuck into. We kid you not, and that’s a massive plus.

Placing a bet is pretty simple: click on the selection that you want and your slip will appear in the bottom half of your screen.

However, here is where a slight problem arises, similar to the issue with navigation. Much of the way the 22bet site and app is laid out in terms of betting selections is in a vein that would be much more common in Europe rather than to Irish and British bettors. Some of the selections you have to make are not obvious to Irish and UK punters. You might get the hang of it pretty easily, but that initial unfamiliarity – combined with a strange layout – makes 22bet a bit of a frustration to get around. The live betting offering is brilliant in terms of priority it is given, the sheer number of markets, and even the generous odds on many of those markets. However, many of those plus points will be proven moot by the other frustrations that Irish customers are likely to experience. It all just feels a little bit unusual, so you will definitely feel more at home elsewhere.

Is the app available for other verticals? 

Rest assured, if your interests lie elsewhere too, then you can use the 22bet app to play with all the other available 22bet products, such as the casino, live casino, virtual and Esports, Bingo and more besides. And you can get access to the 22bet shop too, with plenty of interesting offers.

The reviews of 22bet punters reveal much about the experience of using the 22bet app. And similar to what we have covered so far, the testimonials pretty much sum up everything that is good and bad about 22bet and the 22bet app.

Feelings towards the app are generally positive but there are typical complaints over the site design and ease of navigation – this has proved a real turn-off to some. Plus points include the range of sports and markets on offer, especially for live betting. The features, such as Quick bet and Edit bet options tick plenty of boxes for users, and the bonuses and support options are enjoyed too.

On another negative note, however, there are plenty of grumblings about poor customer support and even withholding of funds. Of course we cannot verify these complaints, but there are certainly those who have an axe to grind with this particular sports betting site.

In terms of betting apps then, where does 22bet sit? It’s pretty decent, that’s for sure. But the feeling is, in terms of the clunkiness of downloading it and the ease of navigation, coupled with some less-than-favourable customer reviews around the web (which you always have to take with a pinch of salt), there are certainly better options out there for Irish bettors.
