With the rise of internet services, part of the gambling industry inevitably moved online, allowing players and bettors to enjoy their favorite games or place sports bets from the comfort of their homes. These services became even more accessible once it became possible to use them on a mobile device, as all that is needed is a stable internet connection via Wi-Fi or a data plan – and then you can bet anytime, anywhere.
Nowadays, there’s an app for nearly everything. Users can send and receive money via bank apps, track their daily calorie intake, monitor physical activity, stay connected with others, or stream movies and music. On top of that, in some of these apps, users can also play their favorite gambling games, not just for fun but also for real money. Some online casinos offer their players a dedicated mobile app that can be downloaded and installed for free on their mobile device. These are available only to registered users with their own accounts, but registration is usually possible directly within the app. On the Czech market, players can enjoy mobile apps from Tipsport, Chance, Fortuna, or Sazka Hry, all of which are available for Android and iOS. Among foreign casinos, 22BET and Megapari stand out thanks to their mobile apps.
Players usually have several options to install the mobile app of a given online casino – either via the casino’s website or through app distribution services. In the first case, visit the chosen casino’s website and find a link to download the app or a QR code. The second option is to search for the app in the Google Play or App Store depending on your mobile operating system, start the installation (possibly confirm the download from an unknown source), and finally log into your player account or create one directly.
Some online casinos don’t offer a dedicated mobile app, but instead provide an alternative in the form of a desktop shortcut. This shortcut appears like a standalone app, but when tapped, it redirects players directly to the chosen online casino’s website without the need to manually search via a mobile browser. This feature is mostly found in foreign online casinos like Rabona, BetOnRed, or Nine Casino. It can be downloaded for free to Android or iOS devices. Moreover, these shortcuts can also be used on traditional desktops or laptops, as they are supported by Windows and MAC operating systems. This means players can jump into their favorite online casino with just one click.
Online casinos allow players to download these shortcuts directly from their websites, usually offering options to download for Android, iOS, Windows, or MAC. Depending on the device, users click on the appropriate download link or scan a QR code with their mobile device, which redirects to the file’s URL – and within minutes, everything is ready.
Although apps are currently a big trend, there are online casinos that do not offer them to their players. However, this doesn’t pose a problem at all because players can easily and comfortably play from any mobile device without any limitations. Most of the games and other products offered by online casinos on their websites are responsive, meaning they adapt perfectly to any screen. Examples include online casinos like Sportaza, LibraBet, and SGcasino. Another advantage could be the fact that no additional app burdens the mobile device by taking up storage space or negatively affecting battery usage when not actively in use. Instead, players simply connect to their chosen online casino via the mobile browser app, which is usually pre-installed on the device, and enjoy endless hours of entertainment without limitations.
