The world of sports betting has dramatically changed during the 21^st century. Gone are the days where you would have to put effort into placing your bets, and now we have a situation where betting is as easy and convenient as it has ever been before.

Those who are set up correctly can go from being sat down anywhere, at home, work or out with someone to placing a bet within seconds. There is no longer a reason to not bet, if you enjoy sports betting and you want to place a wager then regardless of where you are, this is something you can do.

It has completely changed the industry, and also put a real emphasis on the bookmakers, they are having to ensure their service is top quality just to be able to compete with their rivals.

What Do Bookmakers Need to Offer?

The competition between bookmakers has never been as strong. Alongside offering competitive odds, lots of betting markets and great welcome offers, they also need to offer a state-of-the-art betting app for their players to use.

The biggest bookmakers such as William Hill have offered mobile betting for a very long time, and it is companies like them that have set the bar. Any new bookmakers who are trying to break into the market have to offer the same, if not more, to get noticed and try to pick up new customers.

The emphasis is now on bookmakers, the bar has been set and customers know what they want. Rather than wowing players by showing them their mobile app, this is a minimum requirement for them to offer if they want any kind of success in terms of player numbers.

The Benefits of Mobile Betting

The biggest benefit for anyone with a mobile app is that you can bet anytime you need to. Gone are the days when you will miss a bet because you are out with friends. With betting being open to you all the time, keeping up to date with the latest sports betting news is vital, because you never know when that information will be needed to help you out.

Even if you don’t think you have a busy lifestyle, there is no way you can stay at home to bet on every event you want to. There will be a time when something is happening while you are out or at work, and you want to place a bet.

This is the moment when a sports betting app is going to prove to be vital, allowing you to place the wager than under normal circumstances you would have missed.

Have Betting Advancements Now Finished?

The way in which the industry has moved forward since the turn of the century has been very fast. Advancements have been made, things have become far more convenient and there has never been a better time for gamblers.

But what about the future, will this continue?

The chances are the answer to this is no, because all of the big advancements have been made. There are certainly small finishing touches that could be made, but in 20 years from now it is likely that we will be placing sports bets via a mobile in the same fashion as we are now.

Add-ons such as voice software to speak into our apps may well come, but the principle of betting via a phone and on an app will remain. Although these voice gadgets are becoming popular with people around the house, it is unlikely that betting through them will ever be an option.
