What you actually get is an Android APK downloaded from the casino's own site, plus a mobile web version for iOS that behaves almost exactly like a native app once you add it to your home screen. For most players the mobile site is the faster route in, so read the sections below before you go hunting for a download.
Getting it running on Android
The Android install uses an APK file rather than the Play Store, because Google restricts real-money gambling apps in several European markets. You'll need to allow installs from your browser once, then the file takes a few seconds to set up.

One thing people miss: after the first launch, check for an in-app update prompt before you deposit. APKs don't auto-update the way Play Store apps do, and an outdated build is the usual culprit behind a login or cashier screen that won't load.
{{< notice type="warning" >}}
Only download the APK from the official ilyacasino site. Search results and "mirror" download pages often serve modified files that can capture your login details. If a version asks for permissions that have nothing to do with a casino — your contacts or SMS, for instance — delete it and start again from the real site.
Setting it up on iPhone and iPad
Apple's App Store doesn't list ilyacasino, so on iOS you use the mobile site and save it to your home screen as a web app. It opens full-screen with its own icon, so day to day it's hard to tell apart from a downloaded app — and there's nothing to update manually.

Face ID and Touch ID work through Safari's saved-password prompt rather than the site itself, so set that up in your iPhone settings first if you want a one-tap sign-in. The web app also keeps you logged in between sessions, which is worth knowing if you share a device.
When the mobile site is the better choice
Honestly, most players are better off with the mobile site than the Android APK. It loads the same games, cashier and live tables, updates automatically, and costs you no storage. You only really need the APK if you want an icon on your Android home screen or slightly quicker cold-starts.
A few practical points either way:
- The full games library, live dealer included, runs in the browser — nothing is app-only.
- You can make a deposit and withdraw from the same cashier you'd use on desktop.
- New accounts can complete registration on mobile in a couple of minutes, verification included.
Getting more out of mobile play
Start by claiming the 100% up to €500 + 200 free spins welcome offer on your first deposit of €20 or more — the bonus carries 35x wagering, so check the terms on the bonuses page before you opt in on a small screen where the fine print is easy to skip.
Beyond that:
- Play over Wi-Fi where you can. Live dealer streams and high-RTP slots eat mobile data fast.
- Turn on biometric login so a locked phone doesn't mean an exposed account.
- If a game stutters, close background apps before you lower the graphics — mobile slots are rarely the problem; RAM usually is.
- Sign in from the login page if a bookmarked link ever misbehaves, and browse the slots collection filtered by provider to find mobile-optimised titles quickly.
Keeping it in check on the go
A phone makes it far easier to play a few minutes too long, so use the controls before you need them. In your account you can set a deposit limit (daily, weekly or monthly), a loss limit and a session-time reminder that nudges you after a set period of play. If you want a firmer stop, use a time-out for a short break or self-exclusion to close access for months at a time. These apply across the app and mobile site together, so setting them once is enough. If gambling ever stops feeling like entertainment, take a break and contact a support service such as GamCare or GAMSTOP — full details and links are on the responsible gambling page.
