The last couple of years have seen a huge rise in the number of people playing real money games on casino sites in India, especially since the pandemic hit us in 2020.

Sequestered in our homes for months at a time, isolated from the rest of the world, most of us turned to different types of online entertainment to keep ourselves occupied. Real money gaming, online betting, and online casinos happen to be one of the most popular avenues of distraction.

Indian law states that gambling houses are illegal in the country. It doesn’t say anything with regard to online gambling, though. That provides a legal loophole through which online casinos can operate legitimately in India (as long as the website is owned by a licensed international company).

Online casino sites that accept Indian players and currency are on the rise. Every month sees the launch of a new gambling site. But while there are several casino sites out there, not all of them have mobile apps. Only a select few allow users the convenience of an app.

In a day and age when we use mobile apps for everything – be it grocery shopping or house cleaning services or even drinking water – real money casino apps are the need of the hour. But the question is – are these casino apps safe to download and use on our phones?

While it’s true that such apps can be tricky (read, unsafe) for our devices if downloaded from shady websites or unverified sources, there is no need for concern if you are downloading a casino app directly from the casino website or from a trusted source like the App Store.

If you were to just search the internet for casino apps, a lot of shady, untrustworthy sources will come up as well. So it’s best to be safe and download real money casino apps through trusted and verified review sites like MyCasino.in. This will also allow you to read detailed reviews of the casino operator and compare multiple casino sites before you make your choice.

A lot of fake apps are available out there and you do not want to download and sign up on those (they could infect your device with malware). To avoid this, a good practice is to always sign up or register on the casino operator’s browser website and then download and log in to the mobile app.

As long as you take proper precautions – downloading the casino app from a trusted source and registering a new account on the casino website first, that is – you can be sure that real money casino apps are safe for your phone or tablet.

Casino apps let you play on the go which is super convenient. But one should always remember to gamble responsibly and recreationally. Never depend on online casinos as a source of income since there is high risk involved and most of the games are chance-based.

Most casino apps will also have a self-exclusion tool which you can use if you find it turning into a harmful habit.
