First Casino app: how to download on Android and play on iPhone

Author: Valerii Kuznetsov

The First Casino app exists only for Android: it is downloaded as an APK file from the operator's website, while on iPhone the casino is opened in a browser. The operator holds PlayCity licence No. 31-R, valid in Ukraine, so the rules in the app are the same: play from age 21 and mandatory identity confirmation. Below: how to install the app, why it is not in the stores, how it differs from the website and how to avoid a fake. You can top up your account from your phone from ₴100 by Visa card or via Google Pay.

The licence, games and cashier limits are covered here: First Casino review.

The First Casino app: what it is and who it is for

The app mirrors the website in a format suited to a smartphone screen: the game catalogue, cashier, bonuses and account are gathered in one window. It does not need a separate account; the login and password are the same.

The app is useful for those who play from their phone regularly and want to open the casino from an icon rather than a bookmark. Those who visit occasionally will be fine with the mobile version: it has the same features.

How to download First Casino on Android

The file is on the operator's website, in the app section at the bottom of the page. Installation takes a few minutes and consists of five steps.

1. Open the operator's website in your smartphone's browser.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and go to the app section.
3. Download the APK file.
4. Allow your browser to install apps from unknown sources.
5. Run the file, wait for installation to finish and log in to your account.

After installation it is best to turn off the unknown sources permission. If you do not have an account yet, you will need to sign up first: see First Casino login for the steps.

Why the First Casino app is not in the stores

The reason is not the operator's legality but the rules of the stores themselves. Google Play allows real-money gambling apps only in countries on its list and only on a separate application from the developer, so casinos often distribute APKs directly.

For the Ukrainian market this became common practice back with the first licences in 2021. The operator took the same route: the Android version is on the website, and for Apple devices there is a responsive page.

The requirements of the law do not depend on how the app is installed. The app checks age and identity in the same way, and players from the self-exclusion register are not allowed to play.

Example: ₴3,500 won on the mobile version − 23% tax = ₴2,695 to your card. The amount is the same as when playing from a computer.

First UA on iPhone: the mobile version

The operator does not release a separate iOS app, so it is not in the App Store. The website is opened in Safari or another browser: the page adapts to the screen size by itself.

To launch the casino with one tap, you can pin the page to your home screen: the “Share” menu, then “Add to Home Screen”. An icon will appear that opens the site without the address bar.

The cashier, verification via Diia and bonuses work fully in the mobile version. The welcome package terms and where to get a First Casino promo code are described separately.

First Casino on your phone: app or browser

Both options lead to the same account, so the choice depends only on your habits. The table shows the difference.

Example: a ₴600 bonus × 30 = ₴18,000 in bets over 7 days, or about ₴2,571 per day. This turnover counts the same wherever the bet is placed, in the app or on the website.

Installing First Casino safely

An APK file from outside a store is not checked by Google, so the user is responsible for the source. There are not many rules, but they matter.

• download the file only from the operator's website;
• do not install “cracked” or “updated” versions from third-party catalogues;
• check the page address before entering your password;
• never share confirmation codes with anyone.

If a third-party site offers to download the app “without verification” or “with a boosted balance”, it is a fake. The real app differs from the website in nothing but convenience.

Play responsibly

Conclusion

The First Casino app is a working option for Android: it installs in five steps and gives you the same account as the website. Pros: launch from an icon and a full cashier with deposits from ₴100. Cons: there is no iPhone version, and on Android the file has to be installed manually.
