Casino apps for iPhone and Android

Most people now play on their phone more than on a laptop. That is why every casino we cover has its own app, and why the way you install it is worth knowing: none of them go through the App Store or Google Play. You add the app straight from the casino's own website. It puts an icon on your home screen, opens full screen, keeps you logged in and gives you the same lobby, cashier and promotions as the desktop site.

The six apps at a glance

How to install on iPhone or iPad

1. Open Safari and go to the casino's website, for example casinowinner.live or zeslots.info.
2. Look for the app banner or "Install app" button on the site; it will guide you through the next step.
3. Tap the Share icon (the square with an arrow pointing up) at the bottom of the screen.
4. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
5. Keep or edit the name and tap Add. The casino icon appears with your other apps.

Open it from the icon, not from Safari. That way it runs full screen, without the address bar, and remembers your login.

On iPhone, the install option only appears in Safari. If you landed on the casino from a link inside another app, open the page in Safari first.

How to install on Android

1. Open Chrome (or your usual browser) and visit the casino's website.
2. Tap the install or download app prompt the site shows. If you do not see it, open the browser menu (three dots) and choose Install app or Add to Home screen.
3. Confirm. The app icon lands in your app drawer and on your home screen.

If your phone asks for permission to install from that source, it is because the app is not coming from Google Play. That is expected; you are installing it from the casino's own site.

What you get in the app

The apps are the full casino, not a cut-down version. That means:

• The whole lobby. Thousands of slots, crash games and table games, plus live dealer tables at every casino here except LuckySlotPlay. See our online slots guide, live casino guide and crash games guide.
• The cashier. Deposits, withdrawals, bonus codes and bonus progress.
• Promotions. The same offers as on desktop. Codes entered in the app work exactly the same way.
• Account tools. Deposit limits, time-outs and session reminders, which are easier to set up than most people expect.
• The sportsbook, at YourWin24. Pre-match and live betting next to the casino, one balance for both. Our sports betting guide covers it.

Why install from the site instead of a store?

It is simply how these casinos distribute their apps. In practice it has a couple of advantages for you: the app is always the current version, because it loads the casino's live content, and it takes up very little storage compared with a heavy store download. The trade-off is that the steps are less familiar if you have only ever installed apps from a store, which is why we wrote this page.

Getting the most out of a casino app

Claim the bonus on the phone, not later

You can register and enter your code in the app. Do it at sign-up or at the first deposit, whichever the casino asks for. Our bonus codes page lists every code; the step-by-step version is in how to claim a casino bonus.

Play live tables in landscape

Live blackjack and roulette work in portrait, but turning the phone sideways gives you a bigger view of the table and the betting grid. Crash games, on the other hand, are usually easier in portrait because the cash-out button sits under your thumb.

Watch your data on 4G

Slots use little data. Live dealer streams use a lot more. If you are not on Wi-Fi, keep an eye on it or drop the stream quality if the table offers that option.

Turn on a reality check

Phones make it easy to play "one more spin" while doing something else. A session reminder that pops up every 30 or 60 minutes is the most useful setting in any casino app. Our responsible gambling guide shows the other tools.
