The 888starz mobile version: what it is and how to open it
The mobile version is the operator’s site that adapts to a phone screen by itself: bigger buttons, a different menu, the bet slip in a separate panel. There is nothing to download: open the site in your phone’s browser and you are already in it. There is no separate address, and the sign-in order is the same as on a computer.
The account is shared with the app and with the full version of the site: the balance in soums, bet history and bonuses are the same everywhere. So the mobile version can be mixed with the app — you lose nothing except the one promo mentioned below.
The menu and bet slip in the mobile version: what is where
The sign-in button in the mobile version is Sign in in the bottom menu, not top right as on a computer. The same bottom menu opens the line, live and the casino. The bet slip sits on the right on the desktop site, and in the mobile version it opens with the Bet Slip button: bets are gathered in it — a single, an accumulator or a system.
The layout is easy to get used to and it is the same in the mobile version and the app. The only difference is refresh speed: in the app live arrives as a stream, in the browser the page loads afresh.
Data and stability: what to consider on a mobile network
In a browser the interface reloads on each refresh; in the app mostly numbers are sent. So on mobile internet the app uses less data and live runs more smoothly in it. The mobile version remains a working option, but on a weak signal it may answer more slowly.
For live betting this matters: the Place bet button confirms after a few seconds and, on a weak connection, the odds have time to change. If you often bet live over mobile internet, the app is handier. For everything else the mobile version is enough.
A shortcut on the home screen: the mobile version as an app
The mobile version can be turned into an icon on the home screen. On Android this is done through the browser menu: the Add to Home screen or Install app item. On iPhone through Safari: Share and Add to Home Screen. The site then opens full-screen without an address bar, and the icon sits next to your other apps.
That way you get the look of an app without installing a file. Such an icon updates itself: each launch pulls the latest version of the site. The one thing that remains a difference is free bets for wagers from the mobile app.
When the mobile version beats the app
The mobile version wins when a file cannot or need not be installed: on someone else’s or a work phone, on a tablet, on a phone with little storage, on an iPhone in a region where the iOS link is unavailable. It also wins by asking you to allow nothing.
The app wins when you bet live often, want notifications about bet settlement, use fingerprint sign-in on Android or want to take part in the free-bet promo. All three formats and how to choose are on the home page, and the sign-in order for the app is on the 888starz app login page.
Taking part in gambling is legal only from age 18. On sensible limits and the signs of addiction, see the responsible gaming page.
