Best casino apps in UK – iPhone and Android

Gaming on the go might just get better with a casino app. Imagine whipping out your phone anytime, anywhere and get started on a game of poker. Or join an online bingo room for a quick round. That’s the “one-tap” convenience a mobile casino app offers – and players in the UK have a lot to choose from. 

Key takeaways –  Some of the best casino apps in the UK include MrQ, Pub Casino, All British Casino, PlayOJO, and more. Not all online casinos offer a dedicated mobile app. However, for those who do, you can download the app via Google Play Store, App Store, or the official website, depending on availability.

What are casino apps?

Just like the name suggests, a casino app refers to the dedicated mobile app offered by a brand. For instance, MrQ’s mobile app can be called a casino app. These apps can be installed on your phone, which gives you quicker access to your favourite games. 

That being said, not all online casinos in the UK offer a mobile app. However, most casino sites are built on HTML5, so they’re responsive and optimised for use on mobile and tablets. 

But of course, there’s a difference between mobile casino sites and casino apps – they have their own unique advantages. We have already covered the mobile sites in a separate guide, so our focus for this guide is the apps.

Mobile casinos vs casino apps

To quickly explain the difference between mobile-optimized casino sites and apps, we have summed it up in a table –

Casino apps	Mobile casino sites
Easier to access	Have to access through a browser
Better optimised for mobile use	The site is usually optimised and responsive
Push notifications and reminders about offers	No notifications
Might have special in-app bonuses	Does not have any special bonuses
Needs storage space for installation and updates	Does not need any extra storage
The app needs permission to access some device data	You don’t need to install any apps, so no permissions needed

Rating: 4.2/5 on App Store

Grosvenor is another big name in the industry, and the brand has a lot to offer. Interestingly, Grosvenor has three separate apps – casino games, sports betting, and live poker. Here, we will be talking about the casino app. On the App Store, the app has a rating of 4.2 from over 12,000 people, which is quite good. However, the user reviews on the app were mixed, so we’d suggest you do your own research before signing up.

What to look for in casino apps?

We have already covered what to look for in an online casino on our dedicated page. And we also came up with a quick checklist to help you evaluate casinos. But when it comes to casino apps, here are 

• License from UKGC: First of all, you’d need to ensure that the casino you’re signing up at is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. 
• Download size: Mobile apps can be heavy, so it’s better to check the download size of the file and ensure that you have sufficient storage for it. If not, the installation would be incomplete, and the app’s performance would feel “laggy.”
• Updates: Try to get an idea of how often the app is updated. An app that is updated regularly is a good sign that the developers are actively working on improving it, fixing bugs, and adding new features.
• User reviews and ratings: To get some idea of the app’s performance and user experience, have a look at the user ratings and reviews. 
• Special promotions: As mentioned, some casinos offer exclusive bonuses to players when they start using the casino app. Further, you might also be able to claim some special in-app promotions, too.
• Available payment methods: The payment options available in the app may be different than the ones available on the website – so double-check to avoid inconvenience.
• Customer support: Similar to payment methods, the customer support options may vary on the mobile app. It’s a good idea to have a look at what kind of customer support is available.
• Overall user experience: A good casino app should be intuitive and easy to navigate, even on a smaller screen. Look for apps with a clean design, clear menus, and easily accessible features.
