This article began by answering the question: Why are there no betting apps on Android? - but we haven't really given you a proper answer yet.

That's because betting apps are available on Android, however, the real question should be: Why are not all betting apps on the Google Play Store?

Some betting apps are not on the Google Play store simply because Google had made the decision that they did not want gambling products on their Android marketplace. Since eliminating this restriction not all bookmakers have gone through the process of putting their apps on the Play Store so that's why you won't always find them.

This may change in the future, but for the time being you'll have download most android betting apps from betting websites directly.

Because all Australian bookmakers still offer secure, high quality Android apps, this isn't really a big deal, it's more of a minor inconvenience.

The biggest problem is that having no Android betting apps on the Google Play Store confuses some punters and makes them think there are no betting apps on Android.

But now you know that there are!
