BetGoodwin App

Design And Navigation

The app hosts a dark theme, with white font and bold yellow titles and odds. There’s a simple menu system for easy navigation, with all sports listed alphabetically.

There’s an extra section of menu available when visiting the BetGoodwin mobile site. This displays shortcuts to event coupons and to today’s football matches, horse racing meetings and greyhound races. For some reason this is not included in the native apps.

BetGoodwin App Features

Cash Out

The BetGoodwin app has added the cash out feature to their offering. This was not available when the app first launched.

After customer feedback overwhelming showed that customers wanted this feature added, it has been, along with partial cash out.

In-Play

The most popular events that are live show at the top of the BetGoodwin homepage. However, there is a Live Now section added to the bottom menu for all events that are underway, that have betting markets attached to them.

Tapping on a live event will open up all available In play markets. At the top of the page, there is a live visual on popular events that display commentary and statistics to help users make their decisions.

The live visuals are well designed and there’s enough markets to provide a decent amount of choice that is quick to access. After all, every second can count when it comes to in-play betting.

Horse Racing

BetGoodwin’s speciality has always been their horse racing and greyhound racing service. Therefore, it’s no real surprise to see all UK and Ireland horse racing meetings covered. There’s international races covered as well from racecourses across the world.

The layout makes sense and coloured jockey silks sharpens the whole appearance. However, it can’t be ignored that there’s a significant lack of markets available here.

Apart from race winner (including each way), top 2 finish and top three finish, there’s very little else users can bet on. There is also the option to bet on the race favourite or second favourite come the start of the race.

Therefore, this app isn’t one for those who like to dig down in to the horse racing statistics to find an edge across a number of options. This one is more for those who are purely looking to back a winner.

Live streaming With BetGoodwin

A big benefit attached to the BetGoodwin app is the live streaming facility across horse racing and greyhound racing.

All registered users get the chance to watch the UK and Ireland horse racing action for free. There’s no requirement to place a bet on the race intended to be watched, as there is with other bookmakers.

There’s no video playing options here such as full screen or picture-in-picture. However the streams and commentary are both smooth and clear and users are still able to view and bet on the race-card while watching.

BetGoodwin’s Bet builder – Create A Bet

The BetGoodwin app has an integrated bet builder attached to popular football matches. Users can make multiple market selections from the same match and bundle them up in to one bet.

There are limited markets here compared to other bet builders. However all of the most popular markets are covered. This includes:

• Result (HT and FT)
• Over/Under goals (HT and FT)
• Goalscorer
• Shots on target
• Over/Under corners (total and team)
• Player bookings
• Over/Under bookings (FT)
• Both teams to score
• Correct score
• Double chance
• Half with most goals

This bet builder is not the best for those looking to put in extreme long shots. Odds are capped at 1000/1 when using the bet builder.

Additionally, there isn’t the option to combine multiple bet builders together to form an accumulator. Other bookmakers do.

Esports

As part of BetGoodwin’s transition from a telephone betting service to an online bookmaker, they have begun offering betting opportunities on Esports events.

However it is quickly apparent that BetGoodwin are merely dipping their toe in to the water when it comes to this betting sector.

Tournaments, matches and markets are all on the limited side. Only the most popular matches feature and those that contain a significantly smaller number of markets when comparing against the major online bookmakers in the UK.

Offers And Promotions

There are a number of ongoing promotions available on the BetGoodwin app. However these promotions tend to be one dimensional.

All offers that have been available during our time with the app have all been orientated around UK and Irish horse racing.

These offers tend to be around receiving a free bet to the value of the to win stake if the bet loses in a specific fashion. For example, if the horse is beaten by half a length, by a nose, falls at the last or comes second to a horse with odds of 50/1 or greater. Free bets usually come with a maximum amount of £100.

There are no price enhancements and a lack of bonuses across football and other sports leads us to score the BetGoodwin app poorly in this particular area.

BetGoodwin Payment Options And Withdrawal Times 

When it comes to payment options, we have only been offered the option of a debit card. Visa, Maestro and Mastercard debit cards are all accepted.

This falls short of our expectations by some margin. There’s no option of a simple bank transfer, before even delving in to the world of wallets and cryptocurrencies.

Customer Support

Any support we have needed, we have received via the live help service. From experience wait times are less than a minute for a response to be initiated.

This timeframe is much quicker than those we receive on the mainstream betting apps and so the level of support we have received so far has been impressive.

That said, it will be interesting how the support scales up as the number of users on the BetGoodwin app increases.

Overall Thoughts And Opinions

The BetGoodwin app is fully licensed to operate in the UK. It is a safe and reliable app that has a decent design and layout. There in-play pages offer good insight to the action as it plays out and free live streaming on horse racing and greyhound racing may well bring certain punters on board.

However, there are quite a few shortcomings here that sends the BetGoodwin app plummeting down the best betting app rankings currently.

Limited markets on horse racing, a lack of payment/withdrawal options, no casino options and a narrow mind when it comes to promotions may well have other punters looking elsewhere.

BetGoodwin are just breaking in to the online sector. Therefore they are still finding their feet in this new territory. They are making steps to improve their mobile and desktop service. Progress is being made, albeit at a slower rate than we would like.

This isn’t an app we will be using on a regular basis. That said, we will be keeping an eye on what future updates have to bring as this brand continues to evolve.
