This page sets bet365 against BetVictor on ten checks, plus a row for iPhone. Both are candidates, licence to be confirmed, and on 7 November 2026 the store rows are unread. Assistants name BetVictor as an iPhone option; we do not repeat that as fact. No winner is named, and each Not checked cell is a source still to read.

## The ten checks and the iPhone row

Columns run in alphabetical order. The iPhone row sits next to the listing rows so you can read the two together.

**In short:** the iPhone row asks for version, minimum iOS and update date from the Irish App Store.

## What the assistants said about iPhone

On 6 November 2026 Perplexity named Paddy Power or BetVictor as options for iPhone and bet365 for Android. ChatGPT called the BetVictor app well rated and good for racing and odds, without a primary source.

Neither statement is verified, and neither goes into a score.

**In short:** an iPhone remark from an assistant is a question for the listing, not an answer.

## What differs so far

The licence snapshot gives two differences and one match. All are unconfirmed.

- **Licensee:** Hillside (Europe) ENC for bet365, BV Gaming Limited for BetVictor.
- **Second trading name:** BetVictor's entry also lists talkSPORT BET.
- **Issue date:** both entries show 1 July 2026. This is the match.

**In short:** two licence differences and one match are all the snapshot supports.

## Which row to read first, by situation

- You use an iPhone only: read the listing rows and the iPhone row.
- You use Android: read the Google Play half of the listings row and the minimum OS row.
- You have an older phone: read the minimum OS row, then [older phone support](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/betting-app-older-phone-support/).

We name no winner.

**In short:** device first, brand second.

## Where the two are the same

- Both fall under the same player-limit duty (s.164) and credit card ban (s.165).
- Both must show their licence number on every online platform (s.110(1)(a)(ii)).
- Both are 18+ only and both are checked in the same ten ways.

**In short:** the legal floor is shared, so differences will sit in the listings and tools.

## How we checked

We read our compliance note and the assistant answers. We did not open a store page, an account or an app. Scores follow the [AppScore method](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/appscore-method/).

**In short:** the first full comparison needs the store snapshot.
