App & PWA Guide

Instead of a traditional app, the platform offers a progressive web app (PWA) that you can add to your home screen. This gives you fast access without occupying much storage. To install, open the site in your mobile browser (Chrome or Safari), tap the share/options menu, and select „Add to Home Screen“ (iOS) or „Install“ (Android). The PWA supports notifications and works offline for some features. For the best experience, ensure your browser is updated and enable push notifications when prompted.

Watch the video tutorial on setting up the PWA.

How Bonuses Work

Bonuses typically come as matched deposits or free bets. For example, a common offer is a 100% matched deposit bonus up to a certain amount. Let’s say the bonus is 100% up to $200. You deposit $100, and you receive an extra $100 in bonus funds. However, you must wager the bonus amount a certain number of times before withdrawing. Suppose the wagering requirement is 10x the bonus. That means you need to place bets totaling $1,000 (10 × $100) using the bonus. Only after meeting this requirement can you convert the bonus to cash. Note that different bet types contribute differently – exchange bets often count fully, while casino games may count less.

Worked example: Bonus = 100% up to $200. You deposit $150 → receive $150 bonus. Wagering requirement = 8x bonus = 8 × $150 = $1,200. You place exchange bets at odds of 2.0 or higher. Each bet contributes 100% to turnover. After placing $1,200 in qualifying bets, the $150 bonus becomes withdrawable cash (subject to minimum withdrawal limits).

Good to Know

If your withdrawal is delayed, follow these steps. First, check the processing time: e-wallets typically take 24–48 hours, bank transfers 3–5 business days. If exceeded, contact support via live chat or email. For betfair australia users, a dedicated support team handles local queries. Always complete KYC before requesting a withdrawal to avoid holds. If the issue persists, escalate to the platform’s complaints department or your local gambling authority.
