Guide – How to download the TVG app – Available on mobile, Android & iOS
First of all, you need to have a customer account with the bookmaker, so head to www.tvg.com and follow the easy steps to join and collect your bonus. If you are an Android user, as of yet (April 2019), there is not yet a TVG APK to download to your mobile or cell. You can click more in the bottom right of the apps screen and select the Add to the home screen, or select this option from the browser menu on your device. This adds a quick link web-based app on to your home screen so you can jump straight to the TVG site when you want to place your racing bets. Will there be a dedicated, downloadable Android app from TVG? We would think they will do one soon due to the popularity of TVG.
You won't find this application in the Google Play store either due to their stance on real money wagering apps and the complications in US law around betting.
If you have an iPhone or any other iOS device, there is a dedicated, downloadable TVG application. You can get it directly on the site and via iTunes. So sign up first, claim your bonus, then follow the on-screen steps to get the app on your phone. There are 3 iOS apps from TVG, one for everyone and one specifically for New Jersey residents (complies with NJ gambling laws called – 4NJBets) and one for Pennsylvania (PA Bets app), so make sure you download the right one.
TVG has an excellent mobile site that you can use on any mobile and cell. It is an HTML5 site and so will work and render on any mobile device and tablets – Windows mobile, Blackberry, and all other manufactures. The mobile application is free to use and download across all platforms.
What do you get on the app?
TVG is the name when it comes to racing. They have over 20 years experience in the racing sector so certainly know a thing or two about providing punters with what they need. As part of the by FanDuel Group, they are one of the forerunners for horse racing and greyhound racing for US players. TVG is the largest legal online gaming platform in the United States so that you can bet in complete confidence.
The app is your gateway to betting on the widest choice of Horse Racing across the globe. As mentioned, there are no other sports available with the book; they are purely focused on racing.

One of the main draws of using TVG is the live streaming offered by the bookie. You can do this on your mobile or online. The streaming is in HD, and coverage is excellent. It is unrivaled, and if you need an app to watch the Horse Racing, this is the app for you. There are feeds at over 120 tracks that you can stream and watch straight on your cell, all you need is a mobile signal or WiFi, login, and away you go!
What does the app do well?
TVG has stripped back, slimmed down, and made this new app very slimline. This is a brand new design of the mobile app, and it is one of the easiest, slickest gambling apps we have seen and used. The application features a full list of all the available races and horses. You can easily sort them by Time, Track, Featured, and Favorites to quickly find the race and horse you want to back. Once you have placed your bets, it is easy to keep track of them via the My Bets option located on the apps screen. The app does look the part with a nice blue header, white background, and a well laid out design. The design of the app is simple but effective. The layout supports one main menu located on the bottom of the screen. Here you can find Home, Tracks, Bets, Picks, and a more tab. This is all you need to find your way around. Located on the main menu, you can also find the Handicapping Store. Now, in here, you can get exclusive access to loads of in-depth information, expert analysis, TVG picks & tips, past performances, race replays, and loads more helpful insights to help you place your winning bets.
Race alerts and notifications are available on the app (for iOS at least), so there is no need to miss backing that horse again, or get notified when a race finished and that bet lands. You can set race alerts for most races, including the big popular ones like the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont Stakes, Breeders Cup Festival. With the application, you can also browse the presenters' top picks and see who they are backing and then make the call if you want to go with what they are betting on.
TVG is a safe and sensible way to bet when you can't be at the track in person. Deposits are easy to make, and your money is always safe. Want to cash out? It's no problem with TVG.
Placing your bets using the app is easy; in fact, it is one of the easiest gambling apps to place a real money wager. Select your race, horse, and then tap the plus icon next to the horse name. A small pop up comes up at the bottom of the screen where you can add your stake. Enter your amount and tap the green bet button. That's it; your bet is now on. You can view your bets in the account, and there is also a results tab in the menu where you can see results from all races and tracks.
There is a promotions tab on the main menu, which lists all the latest promos available with the book. These include:
- Super 8 – A free game to play. Make one selection in 8 contest races and be in the pool for anyone who gets five or more correct.
- Money-back on the preps – Get money back on the Derby Preps.
- Derby future wager – Get your bet back if your pick doesn't run in the Kentucky Derby.
- Cash back for 2nd or 3rd – Get cash back on selected race tracks all season long
Promotions are good with TVG, but we feel they could do a little more for long-standing customers. They do offer a wager rewards program where you can earn points for every dollar you wager and then redeem them for cash. Its a step in the right direction for the time being, at least.
What could be improved on the mobile app?
It is pretty hard to fault this new version of the app. All of the issues with the old design (clunky to use, slow, frequent crashes, not very user friendly, to name a few problems) have been fixed, and the new one is pretty seamless. The old app looked pretty tacky with too much green going on; this one looks much better. The full website lets you access Past Performances (PP), which is a great feature where you can see the history of the horse, but….unfortunately, this feature isn't yet available on the app. There is no live chat support on the app, which we like with other books, but we can live without this.
Summary
As TVG themselves say, 'the new tvg mobile is hoofs down the best mobile betting experience for horse bettors in the US' and we have to agree! No other online provider gives you the same experience and racing options that you get over with TVG. So for racing fans, this is the app to use to place your bets. TVG is renowned for its honest approach to gambling, and being legal and free to use in so many states makes them a great draw to US players looking to wager on the horses. They have an excellent customer support team, so if you do need help, give them a shout, and they will be on hand to help. So if backing a winning horse, is your thing, join up at www.tvg.com and start watching and betting.
