How to install the app safely

Android installation steps

  1. Open the official Planbet website in your mobile browser.
  2. Go to the Android app download section.
  3. Download the APK file only from the official domain.
  4. Temporarily allow installation from unknown sources in phone settings.
  5. Install the app, then disable unknown sources again.
  6. Open the app and log in or register.

iOS

Availability in the App Store depends on your Apple account region. If the app does not appear, most users simply use the mobile version of the website, which works well on phones.
