24betting offers an Android app as an APK file, downloaded from a page on the official 24betting site. The app uses the same email and password as the website and includes the Exchange, Sportsbook, Casino and the cashier.
Yes, for Android. The official 24betting app is an APK file published on a download page on the official 24betting site. Any APK from anywhere else is unofficial.
| Platform | How to get 24betting |
|---|---|
| Android | Official APK from the download page on the official 24betting site |
| iPhone (iOS) | The 24betting site in Safari, added to the Home Screen |
An APK file installs outside Google Play, so where it comes from is the only safeguard. Take an APK only from a link on the official 24betting site itself. Files passed around in Telegram groups, by "agents" or on file-sharing sites can be altered to steal logins.
iPhones install apps through the App Store only. A site that asks you to install a "profile" to get an app is not a normal App Store install.
The Android app mirrors the website: you sign in with the same account, and every main product is in the app.
| Feature | On the website | In the app |
|---|---|---|
| Same 24betting login | Email and password | Yes, same account |
| Exchange | Yes (Beta) | Yes |
| Sportsbook | Yes | Yes |
| Casino | Yes | Yes |
| Deposits and withdrawals | Yes, in the cashier | Yes, in the cashier |
Google Play allows real-money gambling apps only in some countries and under licence conditions, so many betting apps used in India are not on Play and are installed from an APK file instead. That makes the source of the file the main safeguard.

The Android permission your browser needs before it can install an APK. Turn it off again once the app is installed.
Android's built-in scanner. A warning from it about a betting APK is a reason to stop and check the source.
In India, iPhone apps come from the App Store. Instructions to install a "configuration profile", trust an "enterprise developer" or join a TestFlight beta to get a betting app bypass Apple's review. A profile can let a third party manage parts of your phone.
On an iPhone, or if you prefer not to install the APK, you can open the 24betting site in Chrome or Safari and add it to your home screen from the browser menu. This creates a shortcut, not an app, and needs no download.
Only an APK linked from the official 24betting site itself can be traced to the operator. Files from Telegram groups, agents or download sites can be altered.
Google Play limits real-money gambling apps by country and licence, so betting apps in India are often distributed as APK files. 24betting offers its Android app as an APK from its own website.
Yes. The 24betting site opens in a mobile browser, and you can add it to your home screen as a shortcut.
