Stake Mobile App: How to Install on Android & iPhone
Stake has no native app on the stores. Here is how to install Stake on Android (PWA) and iPhone (Safari PWA) in under 2 minutes.
Does Stake Have a Mobile App?
Stake.com does not offer a native app on the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. This is deliberate: instead of maintaining separate apps across platforms, Stake relies on a fully optimized mobile site (Progressive Web App) that delivers the same experience as a native app.
The good news: you can install Stake as an app on your home screen in under 2 minutes.
Install Stake on Android
Method 1: PWA (Recommended)
- Open Chrome on your Android device
- Go to stake.com
- Tap the three dots in the top right corner
- Select “Add to Home screen”
- Confirm by tapping “Add”
The Stake icon appears on your home screen. The app opens in full screen with no browser navigation bar, just like a native app.
Method 2: APK (Not Recommended)
Some third-party sites offer Stake APK files. We advise against this: unofficial APKs may contain malware. The Stake mobile site is fast enough that an APK adds no real benefit.
Install Stake on iPhone (iOS)
- Open Safari (required, Chrome will not work)
- Go to stake.com
- Tap the Share icon (square with an upward arrow)
- Scroll down and tap “Add to Home Screen”
- Tap “Add”
That is it. Stake now lives on your home screen and opens in full-screen mode.
Mobile Features
The Stake mobile site includes every feature available on desktop:
- Live sports betting (in-play markets)
- Casino: slots, table games, Stake Originals (Crash, Plinko, Mines)
- Instant crypto deposits and withdrawals
- Live chat and support
- Full VIP program and rakeback tracking
PWA vs Native App: What is the Difference?
| Stake PWA | Native App | |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Via browser | Via store |
| Updates | Automatic | Manual |
| Push notifications | Yes (Android) | Yes |
| Performance | Excellent | Excellent |
| Storage used | Minimal | Variable |
| Availability | All countries | Subject to store policies |
The biggest advantage of the PWA: it is not subject to store restrictions. Apple and Google regularly remove betting and casino apps, so the PWA guarantees uninterrupted access.
FAQ
Why is Stake not on the Play Store or App Store?
Apple and Google enforce strict policies on betting and crypto casino apps. Rather than risking removals and constant re-submissions, Stake chose the PWA route, which works everywhere without store approval.
Is the mobile version secure?
Yes. You access the same stake.com domain with the same SSL encryption. There is no difference in security compared to the desktop version.
Can I deposit crypto from mobile?
Yes. All cryptocurrencies accepted on desktop are available on mobile. You can scan QR codes or copy-paste wallet addresses directly from your phone.
