Download the Lulabet App

In this guide, we will show you exactly how to install the Lulabet mobile experience. Whether you use a Samsung or an iPhone, you can get instant access to their sports and casino offerings, plus an exciting welcome bonus.

Lulabet App Download Guide

Lulabet uses two methods for mobile betting. For iPhone users, a dedicated native application is available for installation. For Android users, the bookmaker provides an optimised Progressive Web App (PWA). This means we install the site to your home screen rather than downloading an APK file.

Both versions function without the browser address bar and give you a dedicated icon, ensuring that the app is always just one tap away.

System Requirements & Compatibility

A major advantage of the Lulabet mobile approach is compatibility. Because the Android version runs through your browser and the iOS app is optimised, it works on almost any smartphone released in recent years.

Feature	Android (Web App)	iOS (Native App)
File Size	< 1 MB	115.2 MB
Latest App Version	(Web-based)	1.0.2
Minimum System Requirements	Android 5.0 or later	Requires iOS 13.4 or later Requires iPadOS 13.4 or later Requires macOS 11.0 or later (Apple M1 chip) Requires visionOS 1.0 or later

How to Download Lulabet App on Android

There is no file in the Play Store, nor can you download an APK. Follow these steps to get the “app” experience on Android.

Launch Google Chrome and go to the official website.
Tap the three vertical dots (⋮) in the top-right corner.
Select ”Add to Home Screen”.
Choose between “Install” and “Create a shortcut”.
If you click “Install”: The “app” is downloaded via a pop-up.
If you click “Create a shortcut”: Name it “Lulabet” and tap “Add”.
Find the bookmaker logo on your home screen to launch the “app”.

Expert Tip: We recommend logging in immediately and selecting “Save login information” to make your future access faster.

How to Download the Lulabet App on iOS

iPhone users can get the app from the App Store in six steps:

Launch the Apple App Store on your iPhone.
Put the bookmaker’s name in the search bar.
Make sure the provider is listed as LULA BETS (PTY) LTD.
Find the official app and tap “Get”.
Confirm with your Apple ID.
Once the Lulabet app download finishes, tap “Open” to start betting.

Editorial Opinion: The App Store page when viewed on a browser displays the app’s age rating as 18+. When viewed on the App Store app, the rating becomes 17+, which is an odd discrepancy that either the bookmaker or Apple need to address.

App vs Mobile Site

Choosing between the PWA on Android, the iOS app, and the mobile site depends on your storage preferences. While all three offer the same betting markets, our testing showed performance habits that affect all platforms.

Here is a breakdown of how they compare based on our usage.

Criteria	PWA	App on iOS	Mobile Site
User Interface	2/5	2/5	2/5
Push Notifications	No	Yes	No
Performance	3/5	2/5	2/5
Minimum Space Required	~260 KB	115.2 MB	Negligible (Cache)

User Interface

The UI is a mirror image across the board. While the app stacks menus slightly differently and uses a specific shade of blue, it is clearly the same platform. We gave this 2/5 stars because the visual finish is lacking.

A major issue is the visual stability. The page flickered every time we switched tabs. This happens on both the website and the app and is likely to frustrate players during regular use.

Push Notifications

The app supports push notifications, allowing you to track results without keeping the site open. The mobile site does not have this feature. Neither does the PWA, which is simply the website saved to your phone. This is the main benefit of the mobile application for Apple users.

Performance

Our testing of the iOS app was frustrating at first. The app took a long time to load, and we had to restart it several times before it let us into the lobby. Once active, scrolling is fine, but the platform gets slow after a while.

We rated both at 2/5 stars because neither feels particularly fast or reliable during long sessions. The PWA on the Android 13 device we tested edged out the site and the app, hence the 3/5 rating.

Minimum Space Required

The iOS app needs 115.2 MB of storage. Given the flickering issues and the fact that the mobile site uses almost zero space, it is hard to justify the download unless you need notifications. The mobile site and PWA are better for users who want to save space.

Expert Tip: If you want, you can download the PWA on your iOS device using the same steps as described for Android.

How to Register on the App

Once your app download is complete, signing up is easy. If you are new to the platform, here are the steps to get started.

Open the app and tap the yellow “Sign Up” button.
Enter your username, password, and email.
Provide your SA ID number and mobile number for FICA.
Enter the Lulabet bonus code LULFOT in the “Affiliate Partner Code” field.
Tap “Sign Up”.

Adding a promo code is not compulsory. However, with a code, you’re guaranteed to get a match bonus of R50 or R250 for sports, or 25 free spins or 100 free spins, depending on your first deposit.

To learn more about the sign up process and the documentation needed, consult our detailed Lulabet registration guide.

Lulabet App Login

Accessing your account takes seconds.

Tap “Login” next to “Sign Up”.
Enter your username and password.
Tap “Login”.

Pro Tip: Your phone will likely ask to save your login details. If you accept, you can sign in without retyping your password every time.

How to Place a Bet on the App

Placing a wager in the app is designed to be a one-handed operation, perfect for betting on the move or at the stadium. The interface prioritises live events, allowing you to react to game-changing moments instantly with a specialised mobile betslip.

Select “Sports” from the horizontal menu at the top of the screen.
Pick your desired sport.
Select your preference between “Pre-Match” and “Live Now”.
Browse the available fixtures and tap the odds for your selection to add them to your betslip.
Locate the yellow betslip in the centre of the bottom navigation menu.
Enter your wager amount by using the quick-stake buttons like “+20”, “+50”, and “+100”, or type a custom stake.
Tap the “Place Bet” button to confirm.

Our 5 Favourite Features

While testing the platform for our Lulabet review, these five features stood out.

Mobile Cash Out

The Cash Out button is easy to find in the “My Bets” section. The app typically stays active in your phone’s background, allowing you to pull it out and settle a bet the moment a late goal threatens your accumulator.

Live In-Play Betting

The “Live Now” tab is prominent and condensed. Instead of a cluttered screen, you get a clean vertical list of ongoing matches with live scores and minute-by-minute updates.

Specials Tab

The Specials Tab is a great mobile feature for those looking for value. It groups together all matches that have boosted odds or enhanced multiples. In the app, this is often updated in real time, allowing mobile users to jump on “Daily Boosts” that might expire quickly.

Lucky Numbers Mobile View

The bookmaker’s Lucky Numbers interface is a standout mobile feature. The grid-based layout for selecting numbers is perfectly sized for thumbs. The countdown timers for the next UK 49s or Russia Goslotto draw are large and clear, ensuring you never miss a deadline.

Simplified Account Management

You can use your phone camera to FICA your account. Tap “Verification” in the settings, use the dropdown menu to select the “Document Type”, take a photo of your ID or Passport, and send it immediately. This is much faster than scanning documents on a computer or searching for copies in your file management system.

Should You Get The Lulabet App?

If you bet with this platform, you should install the app (iOS) or the shortcut (Android). It provides a more focused experience than a browser tab. While our testing revealed some stability issues, the convenience of having your bet slip and account tools on your home screen outweighs the drawbacks for regular users.

Advantages

Instant access from home screen
Minimal storage for Android
Native iOS experience
Better layout for Lucky Numbers
Push notifications for results
Fast camera uploads for FICA

Disadvantages

Android requires a browser shortcut
Needs internet to load
Flickering when switching tabs

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

The Lulabet mobile app is efficient but needs better stability. The game options are extensive, but the flickering UI and initial loading bugs on iOS are frustrating. It is a useful tool, though it lacks the polish seen in other top South African betting apps.

FAQs

Who can I ask for help if the app is not working?

You should contact the Lulabet support team via their Live Chat feature, which is available directly within the app between 07:00 and 22:00 daily. Alternatively, you can email them at [email protected].

Yes, it is entirely legal. The platform is fully licensed and regulated by the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board, ensuring all mobile wagers are protected by South African law.

Is there a data free app?

Currently, Lulabet does not offer a data-free app. You will need an active data balance or a Wi-Fi connection to browse markets and place bets.

Why can’t I find the app in the Google Play Store?

Google has strict policies regarding gambling apps in certain regions. For Android, Lulabet provides a Progressive Web App (PWA) which you “Install” via Chrome rather than downloading from the Store.

Log in to your account, tap on your profile icon at the top right, and select “Withdraw”. You can choose between EFT (Instant Bank Transfer) or Cash Send via FNB eWallet or Standard Bank Instant Money. The minimum withdrawal is R300.

What should I do if I forget my Lulabet app login password?

Tap the “Login” button and then select “Forgotten Password”. You will be prompted to enter your registered email address or username. Lulabet will then send you an SMS or an email link to securely reset your credentials.

Can I upload my FICA documents directly through the app?

Yes. Navigate to “Account Settings” and then “Verification”. You can use your mobile device’s camera to take a photo of your ID/Passport and proof of residence (less than 3 months old) and upload them directly for verification.

What is the minimum deposit on the app?

The minimum deposit is generally R10, R30 for EFT and cards. The site accepts various mobile-friendly methods, including Visa/Mastercard, 1Voucher, OTT Voucher, Blu Voucher, and EasyPay.
