More and more people are using their BlackBerry for doing everything from playing music, to finding a restaurant or watching their favourite sporting event live while on the go, so it makes sense that BlackBerry owners are also using their phones to place bets or play their favourite casino games.

Here are a few handy tips on choosing the best BlackBerry sportsbook and casino apps.

• Not all sports betting apps support Blackberry’s.  Some sportsbooks only develop iPhone and Android gambling apps, so do a little research before you waste 10 minutes signing up for a betting app that is not available for BlackBerry smartphones.
  
  
• Not all betting apps offer a racebook.  Some betting apps only offer mobile gambling on sporting events.  If you would like to wager on horse races, choose a gambling app that also comes with a racebook.
  
  
• If you are based in the United States you will need to find a BlackBerry sports betting app that accepts U.S. players.  Many European sportsbooks are not U.S. friendly.
