How Mobile Online Casinos Work
Mobile casinos operate just like standard online casinos, with the main difference being the design tailored for smaller screens. The best mobile casinos are optimised for touchscreens and mobile operating systems, allowing players to access games and controls with just a few taps.
Mobile Casino Apps vs. Playing in Your Browser
We often recommend using mobile casino websites over apps because they’re less intrusive (no downloads required), but the experience differs slightly. It really depends on your preferences and playing style.
Here’s how they compare:
Mobile Casino Sites
• No downloads required • No need for storage space
• Faster sign-up process, but slightly slower gameplay
• Full range of pokies and casino games
• Less personalisation
• Accessible from any mobile device
• Secure personal details
Casino Apps
• Requires download
• Takes up storage space
• Slower to sign up, but faster gameplay once registered
• Full range of pokies and casino games (usually)
• More personalisation and customisation
• Can only access from one device
• Secure personal details
Both options offer a great mobile casino experience; the choice is up to you.
Create a Casino App Shortcut for Your Favourite Sites
Many players prefer casino apps because they can be accessed quickly from an icon on your device’s home screen. You can recreate this experience for any mobile casino site by setting up a shortcut link. This creates an icon on your home screen that looks like an app and takes you directly to the casino’s website when tapped.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to creating a website shortcut on both Android and iOS devices:
For Android Devices:
1. Open your preferred web browser (Chrome is the most common).
2. Enter the URL of the website you want to create a shortcut for.
3. Tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner.
4. Select “Add to Home screen” from the menu.
5. Edit the shortcut name if you wish (optional).
6. Tap “Add” or “Add automatically” to place the shortcut on your home screen.
For iOS Devices:
1. Open Safari (as it’s the only browser that supports this feature on iOS).
2. Enter the URL of the website you want to create a shortcut for.
3. Tap the share icon.
4. Scroll down and select “Add to Home Screen.”
5. Optionally, edit the shortcut name.
6. Tap “Add” in the top-right corner to place the shortcut on your home screen.
