Online Casinos Going Full Mobile
We’re living in the time and age where various handheld devices like mobile phones and tablets have become an essential part of our everyday lives. With people getting used to having their phones with them at all times, their expectations have grown as well, in terms of what they expect to be able to access and do via mobile.
Mobile devices aren’t used just to communicate anymore. People use them to complete their work, access their bank accounts, read news, and, of course, have fun. When it comes to the last aspect, online casinos have been leading the way, recognizing the need to make things convenient for their players. And, while many of them already have fully optimized mobile sites, many of the industry leaders are once again starting to offer standalone apps as an alternative.
Advantages of Mobile Casino Apps
One of the things that helped revive the industry interest for mobile apps is the fact Google has changed its radical stance on gambling apps, finally allowing casinos to offer them in Google Play Store. Apps for Apple devices such as iPhones and iPads have been around for a while already, but they’ve been put aside for a little while.
At a first glance, there doesn’t seem to be much reason for an online casino with a mobile site to offer an app as well. After all, players can easily access their site at any time and enjoy the games. An app seems redundant.
However, having a devoted app has several advantages. First and foremost, players are more likely to play more often if they actually have an app installed and sitting on their phone, just waiting to be used. Furthermore, apps give casinos a chance to really show their creativity and provide players with a true, mobile-first experience. This adds that special touch and shows players their needs are really considered.
Rizk Leads by an Example
Recently released Norwegian Casino Rizk’s mobile app for iOS devices is an excellent example of why standalone casino apps work and what they can offer to players. Available for download via App Store, players can quickly and easily install the app on their phones and access Rizk’s rich offering of games after logging in with their existing details or creating a new account if they don’t have one already.

The app offers a fully mobile experience players will certainly know how to appreciate. To really take the full advantage of the app, you should probably turn on Push Notifications, as these will make sure you never miss a lucrative promotion or a fun event taking place at Rizk (which is another reason why mobile casino apps are great).
