Gambling apps are not good for privacy

[Hyphen(-)]

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?

I don’t also think that there is need for gambling app ad long as the website is working perfectly.

Gambling is like a privacy, most people that gamble online doesn’t want people to know that they are gambling so having the gambling site app on their device is not encouraging because people that might have access to their phone or device will know that they are into gambling which is not ok for so many people including me.

The gambling website is ok, the user interface is friendly and is is something very simple to understand, so no need of app for security reasons.

Having app is to make the platform convenient for those who prefer to access it through the app. And having children and seeing the app on your phone is your responsibility as a parent that you shouldn't give them permission to access your very own phone. Because if you're so loose to them, they'll always ask for that and will get curious when they get to see you play with that app. So, it's important to be a good role model to them and that will not make them curious to see what's on your phone.

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.

Especially if you have a lot of apps installed on your phone and many of them have access to send notifications to the user, you end up with a bunch of spam that constantly distracts you and makes it difficult to find the really important and useful notifications. Lately, I've been trying to be careful about granting apps permission to send notifications, and I only give permission if it's really important. All kinds of icons on the home screen are also a constant distraction. I've had this happen to me many times: I want to do something specific, then I see an icon and get distracted by another app. Discipline is important here too, otherwise you can spend a lot of time on things that aren't really necessary.

I agree that a child's approach to parental device is not good for them. There are many things on the phone that can have a negative impact on them. However, you know that the device itself provides an option to hide applications that you don't want to expose to others. If you do this, then there is no need to fear for the child or any other person using your phone. Somehow, like you, it didn't recommend the site application, if the site is there, then why create an application?

Among all the reasons, this is not enough for a casino not to have an app. They are building a platform for adults or anyone above 18 years old. How the gamblers choose to restrict their kids from holding their smartphones is none of their problem. Aside that, kids can still access websites if they dont access the app. And due to regular visit by the gambler, whever the kids open a browser or seach engine, they may open the casino website first.

There are many reasons why I would give more importance to gambling on gambling websites than on gambling apps. As a result, installing a gambling app will result in a lot of accountability. Because in my country, gambling is considered a bad habit, and if my family members see a gambling app on my phone, I will have to face a lot of questions for that. On the other hand, if I gamble on the website with a little caution, they will have no way of knowing about my habit. And the best way to keep children away from gambling is to not have gambling apps on the gambler's phone.

[Ivystar5]

Surely you are talking from a point of view that I don't understand, gambling apps are personal use and do I owe anyone an explanation why I have a gambling app on my phone? some things are not really necessary to argue because why the heck will I give you my phone to do something else and you're getting interest with what I do with other apps. for kids accessing parents phone, it's nothing to be afraid of especially if Yiu have thought your kids to have limit to how much they intrude in your working or mobile devices, that's how perent train children this days and they will never overdo when using your device.

[nimogsm]

Firstly, why would you give out your mobile phone number, and secondly, you can always hide the app icon in a folder and remove it from the home screen if you're so worried that someone will find out about your game. Today's apps are just optimized websites for phones, and there's no difference between them.

This your reason am sorry to say doesn't make any sense at all. The main reason for having a gambling app is for convenience,if your children normally have access to your phone there are so many way you can shield them from not having access to some app in your phone. Infact not just app, there are some videos that may not be suitable for then to watch . The best solution is to look for a way to prevent them from having access to those app regardless of whether they have access to your phone. You can lock some app in your phone that you don't want others to have access to.

[SUPERSAIAN]

I've never needed an app to gamble, and I don't think I ever will. Gambling sites probably know that they'll have very few users who use apps, so most gambling sites won't bother making one. You can set a password to prevent your child from accessing your phone. Or, if you give them the phone, you can delete or hide the app when you give them the phone; I don't think that will be much of a problem.

If kids will be using your phone, then don't download it. Use the PC/laptop instead. That is even more comfortable than a mobile phone.

However, I don't download any gaming apps on my phone. I'd rather not make it more available because that gives me more temptation. Additionally, this provides an option for those who want it, not because we are compelled to download. Let the casino be free, choose the way we think is right, and stop blaming the casinos because some gamblers requested it.

[hyudien]

I'm not a big fan of gambling through apps, and not for privacy reasons. I tried it once and found it uncomfortable, preferring to gamble through websites. But I don't mind if many gamblers prefer to gamble through apps. They certainly have their reasons, and apps are probably much faster, requiring only a few clicks compared to websites that require a Chrome browser.

[Odogwu-Blockchain]

It doesn't matter to me, who ever wants to know that I gamble should know, because I know they doesn't care about me and I don't care about them.

If I should restrict my children from it, then I'll hide gambling app with other apps that I wouldn't want my children to get access to in a separate sub region with lock up password.

After all, what matters most is if people close to me are trust worthy, that I won't get my balance in my gambling app stolen, then I'm good.

[DaNNy001]

I don't keep any deposit on my balance, I always make sure that I withdraw my profits so this type of situation doesn't really happen to me...Gambling apps for me are slow compared to the sites, this is the reason why I don't normally use the apps that much...if you are looking for something that can secure your account by by using a password or better still you can log out of the account

The gambling site applications would only make the gambling that much more of a concern and potential addiction.  Speaking of the risks of having your privacy exposed on a website I would say having an app on your phone is an even greater privacy concern because they can find ways to hack you easier

[FinneysTrueVision]

Most online casinos don’t even have a mobile app. The app store restrictions are simply too strict and they charge a large percentage of your income if you are using their payment processing. It is not really worth the developing costs when you have to face so many limitations.

When I searched for gambling apps on the Apple App Store, there wasn’t a single casino I could find which accepts cryptocurrency and the few real money gaming options only allow players from a small number of US states. A mobile optimized website is already more than good enough for most people anyways.

But, I don't know, it depends on whether one uses the apps or not. If a person is used to using apps, perhaps it is more convenient for them. Anyone who may not be familiar with using a cell phone like me doesn't make any difference if they use the site. In my opinion it's a subjective thing.

[Porfirii]

It is not only that if you have gambling Apps installed in your smartphone anyone can see that you like gambling, but also all the permissions some Apps will require in order to access your personal data. If you use an iPhone, it is quite easy to see what data they can access, before installing it.

But that applies to almost every App available in the stores, not only gambling ones. That why if you have the chance, it is (almost?) always better to access online services through their websites than install an App and carry it with you everywhere, because it's likely to be used to track you.

The more smoothly a website functions, the more load it will put on the server. So it can also create a problem for a gambling site, so gambling sites do not launch Apps. And with the amount of gambling apps constantly coming into the market, even if you install gambling apps frequently, you may face malware attacks. Because of the weakness of people towards gambling, many scammers will create such scamming funnels. So it is better not to download any apps for gambling.

I want to also say the same thing where we already getting the smoothly functions on the website version then why we whould need to download the apps in mobile to provide the extra data to the site, Even if it is a reputable casino, I still think it will infringe on our privacy to some extent because in that case we often have to give everything from file access to contract access to run the casino on the mobile application.
I would say that our privacy is already being harmed through KYC verification, and if mobile access is gained, it will be an extreme level of privacy violation. And in this case, if the casino is a scammer, then we can face losses in other ways as well, and besides this, I have seen that most of the new casinos, whose names we have heard very little, mostly ask to download apps. So I think it is better to stay away from here.

I do not like to install gambling apps in my phone although some casinos provide it but we are in 2025 already, if you are worrying about your kids who may access your phone and open the apps then simply hide the apps with password.
That way, your kids will have no chance to open it or even to see it because you hide and lock it with password.
The simplest way, do not even let your kids to open your phone.

Emphasis on 2025 lol, I wonder how careless some people can be to allow kids just hold their phone and start gaining access to gambling apps when they can even encrypt those applications, technology has made life easier and anyone making such mistakes might just be ignorant. The whole point of a phone having a security option is for the user to ensure maximum and absolute privacy
