Online gambling group Betfair has announced major updates to its iPhone and iPad apps, with the new Sports App and Exchange App making it easier to place single and multiple bets quickly.

The Sports App – an update on the Multiples App and available to download from the Apple Store – features a completely refreshed design and, for the first time, each-way betting on horse racing.

The App, now optimised for iPad users, also features Next Five horse races, Goal Alerts and In-Play betting on a wide range of football games and a ‘News and Tips’ section which includes Cashback Offers when these are available.

The Exchange App now allows punters to build their Multiple simply by adding Singles to the betslip, and they can place cross-sport multiples on any market where the M symbol appears.

The App also features Betfair’s unique ‘Cash Out’ functionality, jockey names and silks on the horse racing market view and news and tips from Betting.Betfair.

Ben Carter, head of digital marketing at Betfair, said: “This is a landmark moment for Betfair Mobile as we now offer two of most advanced betting apps in the industry.

“Whether you’re looking for our unique Cash Out feature, want to place your Saturday accumulator or want up to the minute Goal Alerts we’ve now got an App for you.”

Betfair is currently working on a refreshed version of its Android app, which will include integrated multiples.
