Mobile Betting Offers – Experienced Answer Needed

Hi,

Technically I should know the answer to this but I’ve never tried it and picked up a couple of comments on other threads about free bets not being awarded as the QB were not placed via mobile.

I use a Virgin broadband solution at home but also have a ‘3’ mobile broadband dongle as a back up if things go wrong (financially painful experience a year or so back). If I were to switch to the dongle connection from the same laptop to qualify for a mobile bet is that likely to get picked up and invalidate the free bet offer? Anybody doing this?

New to matched betting?

My Matched Betting Academy is the best place to get started. Learning the fundamentals takes 10-15 minutes and you’ll make £15 in the process.

I suspect it will be more about which version of the bookie site you are using; Desktop v Mobile/App

I know that bets I have placed on several bookies Apps qualify as “mobile” regardless of how I am connected to the internet.

Try switching to the mobile version of a particular bookie’s site (maybe before logging into it) and see if you get any joy that way.

Hi Tony,

Many thanks for that – I wanted to use one of the England/Scotland ‘mobile’ offers, I’ll give it a whirl and see what happens. I could of course get a better pair of glasses so I could see the mobile screen.

Regards

It’s definitely referring to the client, not the connection. Therefore you need to be accessing via the browser on a mobile or their app.

I think the ‘user agent’ of the web browser would tell the website if it is a laptop, tablet or mobile. It is possible to spoof a user agent.
