Which Version to Choose
Choose the Android app if your phone supports it, because it offers the most complete notification options. On an iPhone, the web app is the only route and works just as well for betting and payments.
How to Download and Install the BetMentor App on Android
The Android app is delivered as an APK file from the official BetMentor site. It does not come from an app store, so a one-time permission change is needed during installation. Follow the steps in order.
- Open the official BetMentor site in your phone browser.
- Tap the Android app banner or the Download App button.
- Wait for the APK file to finish downloading.
- Open Settings when the phone asks about unknown sources and allow installation from this source.
- Open the downloaded file and tap Install.
- Launch the app and log in or register.
- Turn off the unknown-source permission afterwards if you prefer.
Android Download Problems and Fixes
- If the download stops, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data and try again
- Free at least 100 MB of storage before installing
- If installation is blocked, check that the file downloaded in full
- Download the APK only from the official BetMentor site, never from third-party pages or messages
- If the phone runs below Android 7.0, use the mobile browser version instead
How to Add the BetMentor App to an iPhone
The iPhone version is a web app that behaves like a standard app. It needs no download from an app store and uses very little storage. The setup takes under a minute.
- Open Safari on your iPhone and go to the official BetMentor site.
- Tap the Share icon at the bottom of the screen.
- Select Add to Home Screen.
- Confirm the name BetMentor and tap Add.
