If we told you there was a way to play the lottery without actually playing the lottery you'd probably think we'd gone a little crazy. However, as is often the case in the mobile world, crazy can become a reality with a little thought and innovation.

Lottoland is not only one of those apps that fuses creativity and imagination to bring about a new way of playing the lottery, but it also gives you a way to win millions with a few swipes of your screen. Available for iOS and Android devices, the Lottoland App basically gives you access to dozens of international lotteries within a single platform.

Get More for Less

The reason Lottoland is unique is the way players get to ante-up. Instead of investing directly in a game. Lottoland essentially allows players to bet on a draw. For example, instead of purchasing a EuroMillions ticket, players spend the same amount of money, choose their numbers and wait for the draw.

Because of its funding structure, Lottoland is able to cover the prizes available in the real EuroMillions so players win exactly the same as they would if they bought a standard ticket. However, the benefit of using the Lottoland app is that players not only get access to a series of unique deals but more games. Because you don't have to be situated in a specific location in order to play a certain lottery, Lottoland offers more gaming options.

Moreover, because Lottoland has the power to set its own prices, players can pick up free tickets, enjoy reduced entry fees and get two tickets for the price of one. Essentially, the app allows you to get more value from each draw.

Lottoland App Key Features

Still not convinced that a mobile lottery app is better than purchasing a physical ticket? Here's a quick rundown of the key features you'll get when you download the Lottoland app:

• Free app download.

• Welcome offer including free lottery tickets when you make your first deposit.

• Instant access to dozens of international lotteries.

• Extra gaming options including slots and scratchcards.

• Automatic win notifications.

• Set-up automatic purchasing orders.

• In-app discounts e.g. in September 2016 you could play EuroMillions for £2 rather than £2.50.

• Ability to join international syndicates increased chances of winning.

Although the Lottoland app doesn't give you the ability to play a lottery directly, that doesn't matter. In fact, you'll not only get to play more games for the same price as you normally would, but you'll also get access to exactly the same prizes as well as additional bonuses and benefits.

Mobile apps have changed the way we access our favourite games and the lottery is no different. If you're looking for a better way to win a million, Lottoland is certainly worth a look.

Ever since Apple launched 500 applications onto the App Store in July 2008, dramatically expanding the potential capabilities of their pricey initial smartphone effort, apps have become a part of the public consciousness. Today, "there's an app for that" has moved beyond hyperbole with more than 7 million apps available across the five major smartphone platforms, as of March 2017.

Quite simply, apps have changed the way many of us access services and games, becoming a fundamental part of our daily lives.

But with the 10-year anniversary of the App Store just around the corner, apps are actually suffering a fightback unlike any which they've ever seen before, and it's coming from an unlikely source - the technology they promised to replace, web browsers.

To understand the battle between apps and web browsers, it's vital to recognise exactly where the internet was 10 years ago. Websites had grown up in an era where mouse and keyboard inputs where commonplace and powerful computers were able to display graphics and Flash heavy websites with relative ease. With the launch of the iPhone though, which didn't support flash and relied on touch input and a weak processor, these websites were no longer fit for operation.

While many websites quickly launched "mobile" versions of their pages, they were often lacking in core capabilities and were, frankly, a little unpleasant to use. As such, apps became immensely popular thanks to their streamlined, specialist design. However, 10 years on, things have changed. New technologies on the browser side have improved loading times, improved game performance and more - in addition to designers getting to grips with the navigation requirements of smartphones and tablets.

It's meant that we're now in a situation where both apps and web pages offer a superb experience for consumers, which is obviously only a good thing, but with both vying for the attention of businesses, developers and consumers, it's clear that there can only be one winner in the long run. So, which is it to be? Let's take a look at the case for each.

Web pages

Web browsers have been around for as long as the internet and, over the decades, they've grown into incredibly advanced pieces of technology - ones which have learned from the lessons laid down by smartphone apps.

With the launch of HTML5 in October 2014, browsers grew infinitely more capable, with the technology promoting high-resolution, low-requirement graphics which enable everything from superior YouTube performance to the popular slot game Gonzo's Quest running well on both mobile and desktop. The latter, a popular online slot game by developer NetEnt, is available both for mobile browsers and desktop browsers at online casinos such as Betsafe. HTML5 has meant that more than ever, the performance difference between web and app have diminished.

Web pages also have the advantage of being accessible regardless of the space you have on your device, making them available to almost anyone.

Apps

Apps aren't going anywhere though - at least for the time being. With many operations existing entirely as apps, rather than launching websites, they're truly entrenched. Apps also benefit from being specially tailored to the devices they're on, often making use of specific hardware features which websites can't, owing to their need for universal support.

A mobile app can also function offline in many cases, although this is mitigated by the fact that mobile internet and free WiFi have effectively ensured that we're rarely without accessible internet.

 

Which will win?

With Google working to bring mobile apps to the web through their Android Instant Apps program which allows users to visit websites to launch apps instantly without installation, it's clear that the distinction between the apps and the web is disappearing.

Ultimately though, with a future which features both still ahead of us, it's too early to tell which platform will win out. A free and open internet will always foster innovation and its low barriers to entry mean that it's unlikely to ever be replaced by apps. However, it's also the case that mobile apps do benefit significantly from their tight hardware integration and dedicated mobile design ethos.

Only time will tell, but we're excited to be along for the ride.

In today's day and age betting apps are essential for those who like a punt on the go. Whether it be a morning game of poker on the commute to work or some in-play betting at the match on a Saturday afternoon, the mobile betting app has changed the way we play.

Like most technology, it's enhanced the industry and changed it into a totally different beast. Just as smartphones have with Apple Pay and electronic kiosks have with supermarket payments.

Downloading betting apps have become easen easier of late, with Google Play now allowing users to download them from the store. It's the first time in seven years this has been allowed, meaning it's now incredibly simple to start betting on sports with your mobile.

Using The App Store

Using the App Store or Google Play is far and away the most simple way to download a betting app and win on the go. You'll find all the usual suspects on there such as William Hill, Ladbrokes and bet365, and they even have plenty of features you might not get with desktop.

All you have to do is search for your favoured bookmaker in your app store and download. In some cases, there may be more than one app for a bookmaker. This is usually to break their offerings down, so there may be an app for sports, one for bingo, and one for casino. Simply download the one you'd prefer and get ready to play. Naturally, if you don't have an account for the bookmaker, you will have to set up an account, but that will be relatively easy to do and most of the time when you open the app it will encourage registering. Don't forget though, there will be welcome bonus offers and free bets to take advantage of as a new user, so don't miss out.

Download From Your Mobile Browser

Alternatively, you can head to the bookmakers website on your browser to either play or download the app. Usually the app will be made available to download in a banner at the top, which will redirect you to the app store. Here you can read up all about the app, preview some of its pages and, of course, make the download.

It'll open up a whole new world to your betting experiences, offering you all the features of popping into your local bookmakers or making your usual bets in a browser.

It's a growing industry and it's why so many people are winning more by betting while taking in sport on another screen. Mobile betting apps are continuing to make having a punt quicker and easier, as well as becoming more and more secure, giving customers a safer and more entertaining environment to play in.
