(Source: Melbet)

Cricket betting app for Android: Yes

You may not have heard much about the MELbet app, but we think it’s one of those online cricket betting apps in India that goes about its job silently and efficiently. A smooth operator (pun intended). The website design is straightforward, and you’ll find a decent range of sports betting markets besides cricket – even hunting and fishing –to whet your appetite. Moreover, it serves as a fine IPL betting app, too.

Cricket betting app for iOS: Yes

Pure betting, no frills – that’s how we’d describe this Cyprus-based bookie. If old-school betting is your thing, you’ll love 22Bet. We would definitely recommend the operator not only for the cricket betting app it offers, but also its primary focus on football.

22Bet Pros

Generous welcome bonus up to ₹10,000

Competitive live betting odds
Website available in Hindi
Comprehensive FAQ section

NEO.bet

(Source: Neo.bet)

Cricket betting app for Android: Yes
Cricket betting app for iOS: Yes

NEO.bet is still an up-and-coming online bookmaker, but we suggest you give them a shot. They’ve pulled out all the stops to ensure Indians have a good time playing with their cricket betting app. An all-inclusive sportsbook, a straightforward layout for easy navigation, live betting, live chat support, a handsome welcome bonus, multiple promos, and a decent IPL betting app – NEO.bet covers almost all bases.

Matchbook

Cricket betting app for Android: Yes
Cricket betting app for iOS: Yes

When it comes to featuring a user-friendly design and diverse betting options, we reckon Matchbook is on par with some of the top-rated cricket betting apps available in India. Of course, like every other bookmaker, there are a few issues with this operator – the most glaring of them being that it doesn’t accept INR, along with the dearth of Indian-centric deposit and withdrawal methods. But if you can look past these shortcomings, Matchbook offers an otherwise excellent package.

Matchbook Pros

Live chat
Modern-day, slick design
Easy to use, beginner-friendly
Decent welcome offer
Detailed FAQ section
Multiple cricket betting markets

Matchbook Cons

Not the most competitive betting odds
Doesn’t accept INR
Inadequate banking options commonly used in India

PariPesa

(Source: Paripesa)

Cricket betting app for Android: Yes
Cricket betting app for iOS: No

With PariPesa, you have a pretty big sportsbook featuring several cricket betting options, sections dedicated to (live) results & stats, popular payment/withdrawal methods like Paytm, GPay & PhonePe, a responsive and fast live betting function, and quite a few bonuses and promos to beef up your winnings. Also, there’s one-click registration to make the process of signing up that much easier. In fact, the layout of the PariPesa app (and the website) is similar to 1xBet, barring a few differences. So if you’re familiar with the latter, this should be a walk in the park.

PariPesa Pros

1st Deposit bonus up to ₹8,000
Recommended IPL betting app
Hindi version of the website available
Stats & results sections
Supports UPI, NetBanking, PhonePe, GPay, PhonePe

Marathonbet

(Source: Marathonbet)

Cricket betting app for Android: Yes
Cricket betting app for iOS: Yes

Now, going with Marathonbet will probably raise an eyebrow or two. From our experience, we think it’s a decent package – not great. It doesn’t offer a welcome bonus, which means they’re satisfied with their current clientele and don’t want to attract new users at a cost. Another drawback that they can undoubtedly work on is the limit imposed on winnings. However, these are generally common complaints you’d have with any bookmaker, honestly, and Marathonbet tries to make amends for it by focusing on competitive odds and fast payouts.

Marathonbet Pros

Wide range of markets, good live betting options
Fast withdrawals times
Competitive odds, low minimum requirements
Holds multiple licences (UKGC, Spain, Alderney)
Simple, no-gimmick design

Marathonbet Cons

No welcome bonus currently
No live streaming
Some may find the website dull, design-wise
Limits on winnings
Limited promos for Indians

Marathonbet Features

Live betting
Top odds
One of the fastest-withdrawal sites
Low minimum requirements

Casumo

(Source: Casumo)

Cricket betting app for Android: Yes
Cricket betting app for iOS: No

Casumo’s app is easily one of the best cricket app in India. Thanks to its smart UI, a modern, slick design, decent sportsbook, and solid reputation in the betting community, the operator seems to have ticked almost every box to grab the Indian punter’s attention. No surprise, then, that Casumo has been consistently racking up favourable reviews from users worldwide.

That said, we weren’t really floored by the experience, with a few problem areas we’ve described in brief below.

Casumo Pros

Accepts Netbanking, GPay, PhonePe, Paytm, Visa
Fresh, appealing website layout
Sizeable welcome bonus up to ₹10,000
Good live betting platform with a virtual rendition of the match
Instant assistance on live chat
Recommended IPL betting app, in particular

Casumo Cons

No mobile betting app for iOS
Advanced bettors might find the sportsbook limited
Bonus valid for 7 days only

Casumo Features

Supports UPI, Paytm, GPay, Visa, PhonePe
Live sports betting with virtual rendition of the game
Bet Builder customisation option
Modern & a beginner-friendly design

BETWINNER

(Source: BETWINNER)

Cricket betting app for Android: Yes
Cricket betting app for iOS: Yes

BETWINNER’s USP has to be their live betting service, which we reckon has few rivals. Odds-wise, they’re on par with other operators available in India. Design-wise, you’d be forgiven for mistaking BETWINNER for 1xBet, as they’re almost doubles of each other. For the first-time bettor, the app can come across as slightly cluttered, but not off-putting.

BETWINNER Pros

Excellent for live betting
Multi Bet feature allows simultaneous live betting on multiple matches
One-click registration
Pay with UPI

BETWINNER Cons

Scope for improvement in customer support quality
24×7 Live chat missing
More India-specific banking options necessary for optimum experience

LV BET

(Source: LV BET)

Cricket betting app for Android: Yes
Cricket betting app for iOS: Yes

It hasn’t been a long time since LV BET started operating, but the bookmaker still has quite a lot to offer to punters. The website’s vivid, striking design will hit home with first-time bettors, and the pre-match bets are as good as any, really. We contacted their customer help desk and were impressed by the alacrity. Also, the quick registration process helps.

LV Bet Pros

Satisfactory live chat support
100% Sports betting bonus, various promos
Competitive cricket betting odds
Fun & youthful design

LV BET Features

Live results & stats for cricket
Live chat
Cash out
In-play betting
‘Match Tracker’ feature

Best Cricket Betting Apps for Android

You’ll discover that recommended applications for Android mostly overlap with the top online cricket betting apps in general. That’s because Android holds a 95.23% share in India’s mobile operating system market. Apple’s iOS is a distant second, with a market share of just above 3%. So, it only makes sense for operators to focus their efforts on Android.

That out of the way, below are the best Android cricket betting apps:

Betting App
Welcome Offer
Parimatch
150% up to ₹12,000
Betway
100% Bonus up to ₹2,500
bet365
Up to ₹4,000 in bet credits
MELbet
100% First deposit bonus up to ₹8,000
10CRIC
Deposit ₹1,000 and bet with ₹2,500

How To Download a Cricket Betting App for Android

Please note that nine out of ten cricket betting apps for Android will need to be downloaded directly from the operator’s website (and not Google Play). But that’s not a problem at all, since you only need to visit the website and find the .apk link. We’ll show you how step-by-step.

For this explanation, we’ll take the Betway app as an example.

(Source: Betway)

Step 1: Search for the preferred operator’s website on your mobile browser.

Step 2: Download the .apk file.

Step 3: Once the download is complete, you will have to confirm if you want to install the application. Click ‘yes’ or ‘install’ and wait till installation is complete. Sometimes, on your phone’s security settings, you have to select ‘yes’ when given the prompt “allow apps to be downloaded from third-party/unknown sources?” This is a standard process – nothing to worry about.

Step 4: Log into the app and start placing your bets!

Step 5: Login and start playing.

 

Online Cricket Betting Apps vs Sites

All the best cricket betting sites are optimised for mobile devices, meaning you can easily open them and use their services from your mobile browser. So why use a cricket betting app anyway? A perfectly valid question, really.

Though functionally, there’s no difference between a mobile-compatible site and an app, there are a few ways in which the two differ. Here’s a quick comparison:

Cricket Betting App
Mobile Site
Everything you need in one place, with one-touch access
Accessing the site from your browser can be slightly time-consuming
You need to download the software, which will take up space
No need to download anything, so no extra space is occupied
Will need regular updates
No need to download any updates
Improved gameplay, better graphics
Quality of graphics and gameplay might be compromised
Top-notch live betting experience
Live betting may also suffer from lack of quality

Online Cricket Betting Apps: Pros & Cons

To sum everything up, we’ve listed the advantages of using a betting app over the main desktop site below.

NOTE: A lot of these points may vary according to the quality of the app in question. 

Online Cricket Betting Apps Pros & Cons

Pros

One-click access
User experience tends to be improved
Live betting is enhanced
Push notifications on upcoming games, boosted odds, special promos

Cons

Takes up space on mobile
Will need regular, bug-fixing updates
Certain updates don’t add any value whatsoever

Best IPL Betting Apps

The 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League tentatively starts from April. This is the fifteenth iteration of the T20 league, and naturally, bookmakers will want to capitalise on the massive popularity. At CricketBettingAdvice, we suggest you have at least two IPL betting apps downloaded on your mobile so you can cash in on the competitive odds and high-value promotions that operators would offer.

Check out our list of the best IPL offers around, available at top bookies such as 10CRIC, Betway, Parimatch, and Betway.

We recommend the following four parameters to judge the quality of an IPL betting app: ease of play, sizeable welcome bonuses and offers, top odds, and range of markets. These include cricket betting apps for iOS & Android.

bet365: Up to ₹4,000 in bet credits
Betway: 100% Bonus up to ₹2,500
Parimatch: 150% up to ₹12,000
10CRIC: Deposit ₹1,000 and bet with ₹2,500
MELbet: 100% First deposit bonus up to ₹8,000
1xBet: 100% up up to ₹10,000
Casumo: 100% up to ₹10,000

Factors To Consider When Choosing a Cricket Betting App

Ease of download, straightforward design
Your chosen cricket betting app should be easy and free to download. The ones we have recommended offer ease of navigation, have an intuitive UI, and as a result, and are highly user-friendly. No matter which app you choose, always assess how functional it is.
Availability of multiple cricketing tournaments
This is, of course, a no-brainer. A good online cricket betting app must feature the world’s top cricket tournaments, and not just the ones the Indian team is playing. That aside, the quality of odds and betting markets is also vital. The way we see it, there’s no point playing with sub-standard odds.
Quick log-in and registration
It will only be laborious registering with an online cricket betting app that needs you to comply with a barrage of questions and formalities. So, apps like 1xBet, MELbet, BETWINNER, PariPesa deserve special mentions because they provide one-touch log-in/registration, which saves a lot of time and hassle.
Customer support
Heard of the adage, ‘A stitch in time saves nine’? Timely support is crucial, and we think it a wasteful exercise to play with a cricket betting app that doesn’t offer assistance when you need it. Almost all the apps we’ve recommended offer prompt live chat support or 24×7 customer assistance through various means. My shout-outs to LV BET, Matchbook, and 1xBet for having solved my queries promptly.
Bonuses & promos
One of the ways an online cricket betting app tries to stand out from the competition is by offering customers (both old and new) attractive welcome bonuses and free bets upon registration. Usually, you become eligible for one when you make your first deposit at the operator (called a first-deposit bonus). But look out for something known as a no deposit bonus too, which, as the name suggests, will be applicable for you even if you haven’t transferred any of your own funds to your betting account. The wagering requirements of these will vary, of course. However, the essence remains the same: you minimise your investment and enhance the chances of potential profits.
Banking options
Not just the number, but the relevance of payment/withdrawal options available is an important consideration too. All the cricket betting apps for iOS & Android recommended here accept some of India’s most commonly used betting payment methods, including UPI, Google Pay, Paytm, PhonePe, NetBanking, and Visa/Mastercard.

Cricket Betting Apps FAQs

Are online cricket betting apps secure and legal?

Absolutely. All the operators we recommend have been authorised by leading gambling jurisdictions – such as the UKGC and the Malta Gaming Authority – and have their operations based outside of India, making them completely legal. Please understand that a betting app is only an extension of the desktop site, so if that particular operator can legally accept Indian players, then so can the app itself.
