Betfair are making life easier for customers who want to be able to access their Betfair account on the move, by offering mobile services.

Some of the key features of the Betfair Mobile application, which is a Java application that you download and store on your phone, include:

Account access – including account summary, statement updates, and the facility to deposit money into the account from a pre registered payment card.

Market information – including full odds, updates for in game betting, direct access to your current bets on markets and a summary of your profit and loss.

Betting – a simple interface where you can place a bet with a single click, bet confirmation and overall bet management, and full betting history which can be searched and filtered.

Bookmarking – bookmarks for your favourite markets are easy to create and access again and again.

The application is compatible with most Java enabled mobile handsets, and you can check your model’s compatibility on the Betfair website. You need to be on a network that has GPRS or 3G to use the service. As yet there is no application for the iPhone.

To download the application you need to log on to Betfair’s website either on your computer or your phone, and follow the instructions after entering your mobile number. You need to already have a Betfair account to use the application. This can be created quickly and easily on Betfair’s website. It is also advisable to pre-register one or more payment cards so you can deposit money for bets via the mobile service easily when you’re on the move.

If for any reason you cannot download the application, such as having an incompatible phone such as an iPhone, you can still use your phone’s browser to access the mobile version of the Betfair website.
