Gambling apps are not good for privacy

[Joy- maker]

I can never encourage any gambling site to have app.

What if you have children at home and you downloaded the app, will that be good as children likes accessing their parents devices?

Also it can not be good for anyone that wants better privacy. You can give someone that you know to do something on your phone, having gambling site apps will easily expose you that you are gambling despite if you do not want them to know that you are gambling.

The gambling sites are very good with excellent user experience and excellent user interface, is there any need for gambling site app?

Well everybody have the right to say how they see things from their own perspective, and sincerely speaking you have spoken well, and you said things how you see them from your perspective. But on thing you should understand is that, we are human beings and will have different way of reasoning, so what you like maybe what I will dislike, and what you want maybe what myself will not want. So saying that you don't encourage gambling sites to have app, is very wrong thing to say, and a very  wrong advice to gambling platform's, why because there are gamblers who prefer gambling apps to gambling sites.

And there is need for gambling apps, because gambling apps are more convenience and accessible,  with your gambling app installed on your device you can easily gamble anytime,  and anywhere with opening your browser,  or recalling a URL.  Secondly gambling apps are often optimised to work well on mobile phones and tablets,  gambling apps make navigation smoother, in gambling app  you see games loading faster,  and on gambling apps graphic are more adaptive. Thirdly a gambler can get pop up notifications and updates from the gambling app, as in the the gambling app keep the gambler update without he or she opening the app.

99% of the gambling apps are replica of their website interface so you can simply logout the app when you end your session or just use the website for better user expereince. I don't think this is not a convincing reason for a casino to have app because it is not their responsibility to teach and privacy practices and mobile phones are private devices and kids should never get access to it.

Aside from the space app consum on our devices memory there are other disadvantages of having a gambling mobile apps which make the website more user friendly and even with more features as compared to mobile app build in casinos, with the level of activities that goes on on casinos involving games, activities, slow operations most especially if the app is out of date.

The above is one among many reasons why gambling app is not so preferred.

Most of the casinos knows this fact and some have tried building apps before but the end result wasn't so good.

Casinos are not focusing on dedicated smartphone apps is only because of playstore and appstore have restrictions to have gambling apps even in the countries where gambling is legal and developing an app is going to cost them a lot of money and need to have separate team for that which is why they just cloned the website and allowed users to play with the same interface with official apks from their websites. But the UX on such apps will be very laggy that is why website is a lot better unless there is dedicated apps.

There are good sides of a thing and there are also the bad aspects to some of the things we the adults find pleasure in doing but are harmful on our children, also, if we are being sensitive enough, then we should be able to know what could be of a careless appearance to our children, when we allow them to get exposed to such shouldn't come with an excuse that we are unaware I'm of how it happens, gambling must be made with privacy and we must not ran into situations that are going to be more than what we have prepared for.

I mean unless it is somehow on google playstore or apple store it might be a legitimate gambling website but the way I see it there are only probably a few that i might not know that is on store when it legitimate, but im not sure it is not allowede or something, because installing an application is just going to be a suspicious on especially on gambling or casino applications, so there was no actual need since it could easily be a malware if the application is just from the website which is from unknown sources so it is possible that it contain virus or malware that could compromise your device. So in my opinion it is not worth it gamblign websites are working completely fine, and might even be better or more responsive than applications.

Still, for sure there are people that is going to prefer gambling on applications. If that's the case, just make sure that you are doing it on a legitimate one so that your funds are still safe. But personally in my opinion there was no need for applications, website are enough since you could access them on mobile phones as well.

This is even worse for people that always keep their data connection on, just a single mistake can lead to a lot of problems. when your data connection is activated a kid play around your apps and perhaps access your gambling app, imagine having money in there and the little kid starts gambling with it mistakenly. well, this can also be avoided if you encrypt your applications for proper security

What's wrong with that? Most services now operate through apps.

What if you have children at home and you downloaded the app, will that be good as children likes accessing their parents devices?

What a strange excuse. Why should children use their parent's devices? Almost all children already have their own smartphones. On the other hand, it's unacceptable to give children their parents' devices, as they may have other important apps, like online banking, which children could access through carelessness and ignorance.

Also it can not be good for anyone that wants better privacy. You can give someone that you know to do something on your phone, having gambling site apps will easily expose you that you are gambling despite if you do not want them to know that you are gambling.

And this seems even stranger. Are you willing to let strangers "do things" on your phone, which has the same banking apps, crypto wallets, confidential information, and other things that strangers should never have access to?

The gambling sites are very good with excellent user experience and excellent user interface, is there any need for gambling site app?

In this case, "gambling" could be any other website, but as you can see, there are a great many apps. This simply means there's demand and need for them. I believe this allows gambling sites to be better marketed as apps. We already live in a world dominated by mobile apps.

Do all gambling sites have a user-friendly interface on mobile devices (not an app)?

Another reason why gambling apps are not really needed is that all the features of the site are already included in the site version, so I think it is simply unnecessary to download the app version - it just wastes memory for another app where you can access all the same features through a browser more easily, without burdening the device with an additional app that is simply not needed.

The same way I hide and protect my other apps on my phone from anyone who I don't want to access them is the same way I can hide gambling apps on my phone. That's if I want to keep them, and I really don't care if someone sees them on my phone or not, as I'm not the type to shy away from my gambling activities. It's only for the sake of children that I need to protect it for the time being. I have installed on my phone that my child is below 2 years old, so I have nothing to worry about.

[leonair]

I agree with you on this, because accessing websites is a bit difficult compared to apps. Because to access websites you need to type the website address but in case of apps they always float on the mobile screen so it can create a lot of addiction not only for children but also for yourself. When you install apps of any gambling site on your mobile then it will always be in your sight and you will be encouraged to gamble. That's why I never recommend gambling apps.

In today’s era of technological advancement, applications have become one of the most accessible alternatives for reaching new users. Most gamblers prefer using applications because they consider them more practical and convenient. For this reason, gambling applications are still relevant and needed. But, personally, I do not use such gambling applications. This is not only due to privacy concerns, but also because, in terms of user interface and overall playing experience, I find gambling on websites to be more appealing.

OP I don't see any reason you are giving as part of the reason why you are saying that Gambling apps are not good. I was thinking that you wanted to highlight different reasons why these apps are not good, but going by the two points that you are given i don't think that they hold any water with me. As a parents it's your responsibility to guide your children when ever they are on the phone so putting downing gambling apps is not out of place you can tell you children not to open that apps.



Thesame applies to your friends and associates there is also app Lock or you can even hide your apps. But come to think of it why will you be hiding your gambling activities anything that, you can't do opening in the presence of your friends is something that is not good. Your friends should know what you are doing and that includes gambling I see it as hypocrisy to be hiding your gambling activities from your friends and associates.

You can delete the online casino app shortcut from your smartphone desktop and access it through the list of apps in the settings. This is in case someone else uses your device.

Online casinos need apps more because they use them to attract users. When a user turns on their smartphone, they see the app shortcut and think about playing. You could say it's a kind of constant advertising. In addition, apps often send out all kinds of notifications, which also attracts users to the game. In the case of websites, this is not the case; users only visit them when they want to.

Honestly I didn't it easy to make a stand on this but what I want to know firstly is, are there lapses in the system is there a vacuum that needs to be filled, is the gambling institution incomplete without the gambling app?  If the answer to this questions are yes then I think there might be need for the gambling app but if no then it's now necessary, the system is complete and needless of the gambling app.
Your reason for the a no to gambling app is quite understandable but I feel like it's beyond just that  I think it is probably make it easier for hackers to imitate and make it prone to easy lost of funds

[Stalker22]

Look, everything has good and bad sides.  Why do casinos really "need" an app?  Profit, plain and simple.  They want to be able to reach into your wallet with a tap, anytime.  Its not for "you", its for their bottom line.  But, blaming the app if your kid places a bet by mistake?  Thats kinda like blaming the fridge for you being fat.  Its your responsibility.  I think maybe you should try setting a password or something.

And if you are worried about privacy because you share your phone, hide your stuff in a hidden folder, or stop letting people poke around your device.

the act of concealing the icons of the home screen is highly effective in breaking the cycle of intermittent temptation of images. As you may have already guessed, it is developers who create notifications in order to facilitate constant attraction of attention, making your phone a personal, always on gaming machine. Web browser access is more deliberate, and it provides the opportunity to allow our thinking to do its job to a better actor. Not only does it enhance privacy against other people but it also secures our heads against the onslaughts of aggressive marketing.

I get the concern, but I still see real value in having a gambling app. Apps can offer stronger security features like biometric login, app level locks, and built in responsible gambling tools that are harder to manage consistently on a browser.

For privacy, notifications can be muted or hidden, and access can be restricted with passwords, so it’s not automatically exposed to anyone using your phone especially on children at home. When used responsibly, an app can actually give better control, smoother performance, and safer account management compared to always logging in through a browser. Well I love gaming on apps but there is also an advantage on gambling apps aside from the negative thoughts on it.

You have a very weak thought process against gambling apps. They are a natural extension of gambling websites and for some people the only way they can access gambling sites to get better functionality that is not offered directly within the browser. It's none of your business whether companies decide to offer their content via multiple mechanisms and the weak excuse of protecting kids from downloading apps does not hold true, if parents were actually paying attention they would use the restriction options on their phones and app stores which can prevent kids from downloading software for adults. I cannot even understand what you're talking about in your privacy example, because you keep talking about other people using your phone which is pretty much the opposite of privacy..

Why do some people even care so much about a casino having an app, I don't think I do but if they can still have it for the sake of those that loves app, then it will be cool, perhaps what the casino wants is customers being satisfied. If a casino is building an app, they should also make sure they put a feature that allows you to lock the app so that before someone opens it, they will need to unlock the app first, that will prevent unauthorized opening of the app by kids or anyone except the real owner of the phone. If the casino does  not add such feature, there's an app on Android phones that allows you lock any app that you don't want anyone else to access.

I do not think it makes a difference in the browser.  They are both accessible to kids.  Kids who is knowledgeable about how to gamble can access gambling through Android internet browsers.  Kids today are knowledgeable, having no apps, but a browser-accessible gambling platform is no difference from having a gambling app.  

The best method is to not let our kids access our phone, give them their own devices so that they don't need our devices if they wanted to access something or play with.

Also it can not be good for anyone that wants better privacy. You can give someone that you know to do something on your phone, having gambling site apps will easily expose you that you are gambling despite if you do not want them to know that you are gambling.

True, mobile phones are personal phones, they are not meant to be shared nor other people to access it. If one is gambling and don't want his gambling apps to be seen easily, there are certain procedures that can hide the applications so that they are not visible to other people at a mere glance.

Some gambling platforms are not mobile-friendly, although they can be access through mobile browser apps, having the apps installed gives the user a better experience because the gambling apps are specially designed for those mobile devices.

Having a gambling app on your phone is just like having a loan app your phone. And when you have a loan app on your phone they send you daily reminders and notifications that you keep seeing and keep getting tempted to take the loans. Sometimes, because of this constant reminders you see on your phone, even when you donot have a solid reason to use money you go ahead to get the loans,and when you pay back the first your loan the alowable  amount of loan for the next time increases tempting you again to reloan another money. This is thesame way betting apps are and they keep tempting you to bet over and again.  And it will take discipline to shade off from the temptations of the betting.
