How to add a casino app to your home screen

Important about legality and security

Only add licensed brands and official apps/web apps.

For iPhone - we install applications only from the App Store. Files. ipa and "profiles" from third-party sites are insecure.

For Android, check the publisher on Google Play. APK from third-party sources - risk of fraud.

Always turn on 2FA, use a strong password, set up limits and be aware of the rules of responsible play.

Scenario 1. Official App (App Store/Google Play)

iPhone (iOS)

1. Open the App Store, find the brand by the exact name.

2. Check the publisher (developer name), rating and description.

3. Click Download → confirm Face ID/Touch ID.

4. The application will appear on the Home screen. If desired, drag to the desired folder or dock.

Android (Google Play)

1. Open Google Play, enter the exact name of the casino.

2. Check the publisher, screenshots, rating, section "About the application."

3. Click Install.

4. The icon will appear on the desktop. If not, find it in the application menu and drag it to the main screen.

💡 Tip: if the operator supports widgets (for example, quick deposit/chat), add them: long tap on the screen → Widgets → select the casino widget and place.

Scenario 2. Mobile site as an icon (Add to Home Screen shortcut)

iPhone (Safari)

1. Open the casino's mobile site in Safari.

2. Click Share (square arrow button).

3. Choose Add to Home.

4. Optionally, change the label name → Add.

5. An icon will appear on the desktop. Launch - in a separate window as a "web application."

Pros: fast, does not take up memory as a full-fledged application.

Cons: Limited push notifications/background features (varies by iOS and site)

Android (Chrome)

1. Open the casino site in Chrome.

2. Menu ⋮ → Add to Home Screen (or Install Application if site is PWA).

3. Confirm the addition → the icon will appear on the desktop and/or in the list of applications.

Android (Samsung Internet/other browsers)

Samsung Internet: Menu ≡ → Add Page to Home Screen →.

Firefox/Opera/Brave: usually a similar item Add to home screen in the page menu.

Scenario 3. Install PWA (if casino supports Install)

Some mobile sites are Progressive Web App:

The Install/Install button or a banner hint will appear in the address bar.
After installation, the icon leads to an "almost application" with its own window, offline cache, quick launch.
On Android, PWA can be displayed in the list of applications and receive part of the system rights (within browser APIs).
On iPhone - launch as a web app (features depend on iOS version).

Quick shortcuts and automation

iPhone: "Teams" (Shortcuts)

1. Open → + Commands → Add Action → Open URL.

2. Insert the casino address → Done.

3. Press i (or command options) → On the Home screen → set the icon/name → Add.

Bottom line: the home screen shortcut opens the casino directly in Safari or in the installed application (if the URL scheme is configured).

Android: Action Shortcut

Long tap on the main screen → Shortcuts/Widgets → select "Shortcut" of the browser or "URL shortcut."

Specify the address of the casino mobile site.

Done: the icon launches the desired page immediately.

How to arrange an icon "for yourself"

Drag the icon to the first line/dock - instant access to checkout/favorite games.

On iPhone, group in a Folder: for example, "Casino," "Bets," "Live."

On Android, use Folders and widgets (quick links to "Deposit," "Tournaments," "Support" if the operator gives a deeplink-URL).

Common Issues and Solutions

There is no item "Add to the Home screen" (iPhone): you will open the site in a non-standard browser. Use Safari.

The Install button does not appear (Android/Chrome): the site may not meet PWA requirements. Use Add to Home or install the official app from Google Play.

The icon does not appear after installation (Android): check if auto-adding shortcuts is disabled in the launcher settings. Search in the application list and drag to the screen.

The launch takes place in a regular tab, and not "like an application": they probably added a regular shortcut, not PWA. Reinstall through Install Application (if available).

Icon "lost" after system update: re-add shortcut or reinstall PWA/application.

Page asks for geolocation/notifications: give only the necessary permissions. Permissions can be changed later in the browser/application settings.

Responsible Play Guidelines

Include deposit/rate/time limits right away.

Use break reminders and session tracking.

Store access to the application under Face ID/scan; do not hand over the device to children or third parties.

For signs of problem play, activate self-exclusion and seek help.

Mini checklist before adding

1. You are confident in the license and brand authenticity.

2. You add an icon for the official application or official website.

3. Set up 2FA, strong password and limits.

4. On iPhone, use Safari to "Add to Home Screen"; на Android — Chrome/Samsung Internet.

5. The icon is located within one or two taps from the thumb (ergonomics!).

FAQ

Which is better - an application or a site shortcut?

The application is more convenient in terms of speed and capabilities. Shortcut - instant access without installation when the application is not available.

Is it possible to add several icons to different sections (box office, tournaments)?

Yes I did. Create multiple shortcuts/shortcuts with different URL paths (if the operator supports deeplink).

Do I need a VPN to see the Install button?

No, it isn't. The button is associated with PWA support for the site/browser. VPN does not legalize access in prohibited regions.

There are three ways to add a casino to the home screen: an official application, a mobile site shortcut and a PWA installation. Choose a script for your platform, follow the rules of safety and responsible play - and the desired icon will always be under your thumb.
