Our reviews of each cricket betting app

Here is what we liked, and what we liked less, on each of the 10 apps in our ranking.

1. Stake: best for live streaming

Stake is an international bookmaker active in many parts of the world, and its app is one of the most polished we have tested for cricket, both in look and in functionality.

Because the brand relies on its reputation, its bonus offers are not the most generous on the market, but the overall experience, from the match list to the bet slip, is among the smoothest available.

2. 4rabet: best interface

4rabet is a relatively recent arrival in online betting and it has built its offer around cricket, with dozens of cricket-related promotions that can be activated directly from the mobile app.

The app is intuitive and user-friendly, and the range of cricket markets, from the IPL to international series, is one of the widest in this ranking.

3. Melbet: best customer support

Melbet has been operating since 2017 and stands out for its customer support, its large number of cricket markets and its low entry thresholds.

Its mobile app is optimised to run well across devices, with no reduction in content compared with the desktop site.

4. Parimatch: best for beginners

Founded in 1994, Parimatch moved from traditional betting shops to online betting after years of work behind the scenes, and its Android and iOS apps reflect that experience in usability and features.

Beyond cricket, Parimatch is known for its wide choice of other sports, which makes it a good all-round app for newcomers.

5. 888starz: biggest choice of cricket events

888starz earns its place thanks to its huge selection of cricket events: more than 200 matches, from the IPL and international T20 cups to the European Cricket Series and smaller local competitions.

The app is available for both iOS and Android users and updates scores and odds in real time.

6. 22bet: best for early markets

22bet is a European bookmaker that has steadily expanded its cricket offer, and it is one of the leaders when it comes to opening markets earlier than the competition.

Its app combines live betting with detailed live match statistics, useful for in-play punters.

7. BC Game: best for crypto users

BC Game is one of the largest combined sportsbook and casino platforms in the world, and it gives users both experiences with a single account.

Its app downloads in three quick steps on iOS and Android, and live customer support is available directly on mobile.

8. Dafabet: most reliable

The Dafabet app stands out for its reliability: it works smoothly on Android and iOS and gives full access to your account.

Cricket coverage is extensive and the odds are competitive, which makes betting on tournaments and individual matches straightforward.

9. 10cric: best for ipl betting

10cric started out as a destination dedicated to cricket betting, and that focus still shows in its app, which is one of the most cricket-oriented in this ranking.

It is particularly well suited to following the IPL, with real-time updates on Android and iOS devices.

10. 1xBet: biggest market choice

1xBet offers one of the largest choices of betting markets in this comparison, and manages to keep them easy to navigate.

Mobile live streaming completes an app aimed at punters who like to bet during the match.

How we rank cricket betting apps

We test every app on a phone, the way you will use it. Five criteria weigh in the final rating.

Interface and ease of use

You should reach the cricket section in a couple of taps, and the bet slip must be clear enough to place a bet quickly when the odds move.

Depth of the cricket offer

The IPL and ICC events are a minimum. We also look at domestic leagues, bilateral series and the number of markets per match.

Live features

Live streaming, in-play markets, live statistics and cash-out make a real difference when you follow a match from your phone.

Welcome offer and promotions

Some operators reserve extra rewards for app users. We check the conditions attached to each offer rather than the headline figure.

Support and account management

Responsive support, and the ability to manage your whole account from the app, complete the evaluation.

Standout features at a glance

Tips for betting on cricket from your phone

Check the law where you live

Online betting rules differ from one country to another. Make sure it is legal where you reside before opening an account.

Set a budget before the match

Decide how much you are ready to spend and use the deposit limits available in the app.

Compare odds

Prices on the same match can vary between operators, especially on early markets and player props.

Read the bonus terms

Wagering requirements and eligible markets matter more than the size of the bonus.

Our verdict

Stake is our favourite cricket betting app for its design, its in-play section and its live streaming. 4rabet and 10cric are excellent alternatives if you mainly bet on cricket.
