Casino apps by country 2026: APK or Google Play
Whether a casino app comes from Google Play or as an APK depends on your country. Google Play allows real-money casino apps only in the countries on its country table for real-money apps, and only from operators licensed there; everywhere else, an Android casino app is an APK from the casino's site.
Pick your country to see the casinos that accept players there, which of them have an Android or iPhone app, the local deposit methods they list and the law on record.
A country page keeps a casino when the casino's restricted-country list omits that country. The page then marks which of those casinos state an Android app, an iPhone app, or neither. A missing app tag means our list has no app on record. It does not mean the casino has no app.
A casino licensed abroad answers to that regulator, not to one in your country, and in some countries the penalties reach players. Read your country's page before you install anything.

How the country pages work
Open your country's page: it ranks the casinos that accept players there and counts the local methods they list.
Each page starts with a short answer on the law, then whether casino apps for that country are on Google Play or come as an APK, the casinos with an Android app, the ranking and the deposit methods. Where we have the law on record, a table lists it.
The counts are live. They run over the casinos we list that do not restrict players from that country.
The live counts use one population: casinos published on this site that do not restrict the country. The Android figure is the count of that population with an Android app tag. The iPhone figure is the count with an iPhone app tag. The two counts overlap, so they do not add up to the either-app figure.

Casino APK or Google Play: how it works by country
Where casino apps are on Google Play, where they come as an APK, how many of the casinos we list have an app, and how to install one safely.
Casino apps on Google Play only in the countries on Google's table
Google Play allows real-money casino apps only in the countries on its country table for real-money apps, and only from operators licensed there. Of our country pages, that covers Bulgaria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Ethiopia, Ghana, Hungary, the Netherlands, Nigeria (some states), Spain, Sweden, Türkiye and the United Kingdom. Everywhere else, and for any casino licensed only abroad, an Android casino app is an APK from the casino's site, or the site in your browser.

How to install a casino APK
- 01 Start on the casino's own site Open the casino from your country's page in Chrome and use the Android download link in its menu or footer. Never take the file from a messaging group, a file-sharing site or a "mod" page.
- 02 Allow this one install Android asks to let your browser install unknown apps. Allow it for that browser only, then switch it back off. Guides that tell you to turn on "Unknown sources" under Security describe Android 7 and older.
- 03 Let Play Protect scan it Keep Google Play Protect on. If it calls the app harmful, cancel and use the casino's site in the browser instead.
- 04 Check what it asks for A casino app needs internet and, at most, notifications. Refuse SMS, contacts, call log, accessibility or device admin requests: no casino needs them.
- 05 Sign in and set limits Log in with the account you made on the site, set a deposit limit in the app's account menu, and turn on two-step login if the casino offers it.
Before you trust a casino APK
- Same domain as the site The download link should sit on the casino's own domain, the one you reached from this page.
- One file, the full app The download should be the app itself. A small file that asks to fetch more files or extra apps is a downloader: delete it.
- Updates come from the casino Update from inside the app or from the casino's site, never from a link sent by message.
- Name match on payouts Register with the exact name on your bank account or e-wallet. A mismatch is the most common reason a withdrawal fails identity checks.
- Browser if in doubt The casino's site in Chrome runs the same games with nothing to install, and is the safer choice on a shared or work phone.

Source App chips: the casino is tagged Android app or iPhone app in the casinos we list. Payment chips: deposit methods as stated by the casino. A grey chip means our data does not list it, not that the casino lacks it.
How the casinos we list take deposits
Deposit methods across every casino we list, counted live. Each country page counts its own.
Source Deposit methods as stated by the casinos we list, live.
What a country page changes
Three fields that stay in the same place on every country page and take a different value.
App store route
Google Play lists real-money casino apps only for countries on Google's table, and only from operators licensed in that country. Every other country gets an APK from the casino's domain, or the casino's site in the phone browser. The country page states the route before the casino list.
Deposit methods
Payment bars count methods the open casinos list. A tall bar means many of those casinos name the method. A short bar means few do, so one cashier can still lack it. The bar is a count of listings, not a promise from a single brand.
Law on record
A country page with a law table shows legal status, licence model, governing law and minimum age when the record has them. A page without the table is a gap in our record. The gap is not a claim that the country has no rules.
How to use the country pages
How a country page filters the casino list
Each country page starts from the casinos this site publishes. The page drops a casino whose restricted-country list names that country.
The restricted-country list is a field on the casino. It is separate from the country that issued the casino's licence. A licence from Curaçao can still block the United Kingdom or Germany, and the page follows the block.
A casino with an empty restriction list stays on every country page. The ranking under that filter is the site ranking, narrowed to the remaining set. Position 1 is the highest-ranked casino in the set, not a separate score for the country.
Google Play, an APK, or the browser
Google Play's real-money gambling policy is a country table plus a licence test. The app has to come from an operator licensed in the same country as the Play listing.
Applied to our country pages, that table covers Bulgaria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Ethiopia, Ghana, Hungary, the Netherlands, Nigeria for some states, Spain, Sweden, Türkiye and the United Kingdom. A country outside the table does not get a Play listing for casino apps.
An Android file outside Play is an APK, and the file should come from the casino's own domain. The difference between the two phone platforms, including where an iPhone app is a store app and where it is the mobile site, is in our Android vs iOS mobile casino guide.
Law stays on the country page
This hub does not give one legal status for mobile casinos. Online casino law is national. Some countries in the list license remote casinos. Other countries prohibit them.
A licensed market names a regulator, a statute and a minimum age. A casino that accepts players from a prohibiting country still answers to the regulator that issued its licence, often in another country.
Players can face penalties the casino does not, when the local statute reaches the player. The risks of a market with no local licence are in our unregulated mobile gambling guide.
A licensed market on this site
The United Kingdom card on this hub already names the Gambling Act 2005. That statute is the licence framework the United Kingdom page is built around.
The United Kingdom is also one of the countries on Google's table for real-money casino apps. An operator licensed only abroad still reaches UK players through an APK or the browser, because Play requires a local licence.
The counts, the law table and the payment bars for that market are on the United Kingdom mobile casinos page.
What the rest-of-world record holds
This site's market is rest of world. Rest of world is a catch-all market, not a country with its own gambling act. National facts stay on each country page.
The minimum online age on the rest-of-world record is 18. That number is the default for the catch-all. A country page replaces it when that country has its own minimum-age fact.
The bonus rule on the rest-of-world record is No specific restriction. A country that caps stakes or bans inducements carries that rule on its own page, in place of this default.
The helpline on the rest-of-world record is Gamble Aware. National helplines stay on the country pages that name them. The rest-of-world market has no single self-exclusion register, so a player uses the register named on the country page, or the casino's own time-out.
Casino apps by country: FAQ
Is there a casino APK for my country?
If casinos that accept players from your country offer an Android app, yes. Where Google Play carries no casino app for your country, or the casino is licensed only abroad, that app is an APK from the casino's own site. Your country's page lists the casinos open to it that have one.
Which countries have casino apps on Google Play?
Only the countries on Google Play's country table for real-money apps, and only from operators licensed in that country. Of our country pages, that covers Bulgaria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Ethiopia, Ghana, Hungary, the Netherlands, Nigeria (some states), Spain, Sweden, Türkiye and the United Kingdom.
What should I check before installing a casino app?
That the file comes from the casino's own domain, that Play Protect stays on, and that the app asks only for internet and notifications. Refuse SMS, contacts or accessibility access. If any check fails, play in the browser instead.
Are mobile casinos legal in my country?
It depends on the country. Some license online casinos, some restrict them, and in some the penalties reach players. Your country's page gives the law we have on record; check the rules where you live before you deposit.
The country page names the status we hold for that country, including a blank row when the record has no statute. A wider map of those differences is in our mobile casino laws guide.
Why does a casino accept players from one country and not another?
Casinos restrict countries to fit their licence and their payment partners. Each country page only counts the casinos that do not restrict players from that country.
What happens if a casino does not pay me?
Your complaint goes to the authority that issued the casino's licence, which may be in another country and can be slow to act. Keep screenshots of your balance, bets and chat.
Play only if you are 18+ and it stays fun
Casino play on a phone is quick to start and easy to continue. These four rules apply on every page of this site.
18+ only
Adults only, on every device
A phone is easy to hand to someone else. Lock the casino app or browser tab behind your device PIN or Face ID, and never save card details on a shared phone.
Speed
Short rounds add up
Crash and instant games settle a round in seconds. Set a time limit on the phone (Screen Time on iPhone, Digital Wellbeing on Android) as well as a deposit limit at the casino.
Limits
Use the casino's own tools
Look for deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion in the account menu, and set them before your first deposit, while it is easy.
