Why South Africans Choose This Mobile Platform
PWA technology bypasses app store restrictions affecting many gambling platforms in SA. You're not downloading anything from Google Play or Apple's marketplace. The app installs through your mobile browser with one tap.
Updates happen automatically in the background. No version conflicts, no approval waits. Your games, payment methods, and account features mirror desktop exactly; whereby notification support delivers bonus alerts and withdrawal confirmations to your lock screen if you enable permissions during setup.

How Do I Install on Android?
Android installation takes roughly 60 seconds. Open Chrome, Firefox, or Samsung Internet on your phone.
Navigate to fatbetcasino.co.za in the address bar. The site loads normally. Look for a popup banner near the bottom stating "Add Fatbet to Home Screen" — this appears automatically after 3-5 seconds on most devices. Tap it, then confirm by selecting "Install" when the dialog appears.
If the banner doesn't show, tap the three-dot menu in your browser's top right corner. Select "Add to Home Screen" from the dropdown — exact wording varies by browser version. The app icon now launches Fatbet in fullscreen mode; hiding browser controls for cleaner interface. And your login credentials save automatically if you tick "Remember Me".
Android Requirements
Android 8.0 (Oreo) represents minimum supported version. Devices running Android 10+ perform best with smoother animations, faster asset loading. Screen resolution doesn't really matter — the app scales from small phones to large tablets. Recommended specs include 2GB RAM minimum (3GB+ ideal for live dealer), stable 4G LTE or Wi-Fi, at least 100MB free storage for cached game data.
iOS Installation Steps
iPhone and iPad users follow slightly different procedure due to Apple's system architecture. Launch Safari browser — other browsers like Chrome won't work for PWA installation on iOS.
Type fatbetcasino.co.za into Safari's address bar. Wait for page load. Locate Share button at bottom center (square with upward arrow icon). Tap Share, scroll through options until you find "Add to Home Screen" — usually positioned midway down. Tap this option.
A preview screen shows Fatbet logo and name; you can edit the name here if desired though most users leave default. Punch "Add" in top right corner. Safari closes, you return to home screen where new Fatbet icon sits ready. Tap to open full-screen casino interface without browser toolbars.
iOS Compatibility
iOS 13.0 or later required; anything older lacks necessary PWA support. Most iPhones from 2019 onward meet this easily. iPad models from 7th generation work perfectly, including Pro versions. Safari is mandatory for installation but after setup you never need Safari again. Push notifications require iOS 16.4+ due to Apple's late implementation of this feature.

Performance Tips and Troubleshooting
Clear your browser cache before installation; this ensures latest app version. On Android: Settings → Apps → Chrome → Storage → Clear Cache. iOS users: Settings → Safari → Clear History and Website Data.
Landscape mode works better for table games, live dealer sessions — more screen space. Portrait suits slots and crash games where vertical space isn't critical, you know. Wi-Fi connections recommended for initial game loads and live play. Once a slot caches you can switch to cellular data without issues — most games store assets locally after first launch.
Common Issues
Games won't load? Force close app and reopen. Android: swipe up from bottom, flick app away. iOS: double-click home button (or swipe up on newer models), swipe Fatbet off screen.
Login loops sometimes occur after extended inactivity; the fix involves clearing app's site data in your phone settings under installed apps or website storage, then select "Clear Data". You'll need to log in again but this resolves authentication errors typically.
Payment failures often relate to outdated cached information — removing and re-adding your card in cashier section usually fixes declined transactions that worked previously.
