WinSpirit Casino runs on Progressive Web App (PWA) technology — installed directly from the casino website in under two minutes, without touching the App Store or Google Play. The result is a full-featured casino app that sits on your home screen, opens full-screen, supports Face ID and Touch ID login, and accepts Apple Pay and Google Pay for deposits. Everything available on desktop is available on the app: 4,500-plus games, PayID deposits, crypto withdrawals, your VIP dashboard and 24/7 live chat.
Installing the app also unlocks 20 free spins credited immediately on your first bet of AU$0.10 or more — an exclusive bonus not available to browser-only players.
What Is a PWA and Why It Matters
A Progressive Web App is a website built to behave like a native app. It installs from the browser, sits on your home screen with its own icon, loads full-screen without browser bars, and works within the secure sandbox of your mobile browser. WinSpirit’s PWA:
- Does not require an Apple ID or Google account to install
- Takes under 50MB of device storage — most of the game library loads from the cloud
- Updates automatically on the server side — no manual updates, no version management
- Uses 128-bit SSL encryption across all connections, identical to the desktop site
- Supports Face ID (iOS 16.4+) and Touch ID for biometric login
Because gambling apps are restricted from the App Store and Google Play in Australia, the PWA is the standard delivery method for legitimate offshore casino apps. WinSpirit’s implementation is full-featured — nothing is stripped out compared to the desktop version.
How to Install on iPhone and iPad
Requirements: iOS 13.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone X and newer, iPad running iPadOS 13 and above.
Steps:
- Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad — the install method only works in Safari, not Chrome or Firefox on iOS
- Go to the WinSpirit Casino website
- Tap the Share icon at the bottom centre of the screen (square with an arrow pointing up)
- Scroll down the share menu and tap Add to Home Screen
- Rename the app if you want, then tap Add in the top right corner
- The WinSpirit icon appears on your home screen — tap it to launch
Alternatively: Scroll to the footer of the WinSpirit homepage on mobile and look for the QR code or install prompt in the app download section. Tap Install from the menu that appears.
After installation: Open the app and log in with your existing WinSpirit credentials. On first launch, allow notifications if you want push alerts for bonus offers and withdrawal updates — these are optional and can be turned off in device settings at any time. Enable Face ID in the app’s security settings for one-scan login on subsequent visits.
How to Install on Android
Requirements: Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher. Compatible with most Android devices released from 2016 onward.
Steps:
- Open Chrome on your Android device
- Go to the WinSpirit Casino website
- Tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of Chrome
- Tap Install App or Add to Home Screen from the menu options
- Confirm by tapping Install on the prompt that appears
- The WinSpirit icon appears on your home screen in 2–3 minutes
Alternative — APK download: If the Chrome install prompt does not appear, the WinSpirit website also offers a direct APK file download from the mobile section of the homepage. Before installing an APK, go to Settings → Security → Unknown Sources (or Install Unknown Apps on newer Android versions) and enable installs from your browser. Download the APK, tap it in your notifications bar, and tap Install when prompted. The security warning about unknown sources is standard for any app installed outside the Play Store — it does not indicate a problem with the file.
After installation: Open the app and log in with your existing WinSpirit credentials. Enable fingerprint login or face unlock in the app’s security settings. Enable Google Pay from the cashier section for one-tap AUD deposits without entering card details each session.
The 20 Free Spins App Bonus
Install the WinSpirit app and place a first bet of AU$0.10 or more through the app — 20 free spins are credited to your account automatically. These do not require a deposit.
- Wagering: 40x on winnings
- Maximum cashout: AU$100
- Where to find them: Bonuses section after your first qualifying bet
This bonus is exclusive to app installs — it does not credit to browser-only accounts. If you registered on desktop and have never installed the app, installing now and placing a minimum bet triggers the spins.
App Features for Australian Players
Payments: Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayID
The WinSpirit app supports payment methods not always available through desktop browsers:
- Apple Pay — tap to deposit with Face ID confirmation on iPhone. No card number entry, no redirect.
- Google Pay — one-tap deposits on Android using saved payment methods from your Google account.
- PayID — AUD deposits that settle in seconds, identical to the desktop cashier.
- Crypto — BTC, ETH, LTC and 11 other cryptocurrencies supported for both deposits and withdrawals.
All transactions use the same 128-bit SSL encryption as the desktop site. The app does not store card numbers — Apple Pay and Google Pay process through their own secure infrastructure.
Face ID and Touch ID Login
After installation, go to Account → Security Settings in the app and enable biometric login. On iPhone, this uses Face ID (iOS 16.4+) or Touch ID depending on your device model. On Android, fingerprint or face unlock works through the device’s existing biometric system.
Once enabled, opening the WinSpirit app and authenticating with a glance or fingerprint takes under a second. Sessions remain active for 30 days on trusted devices unless you manually log out.
Push Notifications
Enable notifications during app setup to receive:
- Bonus credit alerts when cashback or free spins are added to your account
- Withdrawal status updates
- Exclusive mobile promo codes not sent via email
- Tournament and quest start reminders
Notifications are opt-in and can be turned off at any time from your device settings. The WinSpirit app does not request access to contacts, messages, location or camera — it asks only for notification permissions.
Full Game Library: 4,500+ Titles
Every game available on desktop is accessible through the app. All titles are HTML5 and touch-optimised — button sizes and swipe gestures are adapted for phone screens. The app supports both portrait and landscape orientation: pokies typically run in portrait, live dealer tables in landscape.
Game loading on the app is faster than mobile browser play because frequently accessed assets are cached locally on your device. The library includes:
- Pokies from Pragmatic Play, BGaming, NetEnt, Habanero, Platipus and 60-plus other providers
- Live dealer tables from Evolution Gaming — Lightning Roulette, Crazy Time, Speed Blackjack, Baccarat
- Table games — Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat in RNG format
- Sports betting — football, basketball, tennis, esports and more
- Jackpot slots — progressive pools visible in real time on each game tile
VIP Dashboard and Bonuses
Your VIP level, comp point balance and active bonus wagering progress are fully visible in the app. The loyalty programme starts at Crystal tier and advances based on wagering volume — 1 comp point per AU$1.50 staked on pokies. Cashback scales up to 15% at upper tiers and is credited automatically each week. The app’s Bonuses section shows every active offer, its wagering requirement and its expiry date in one place.

Troubleshooting
Install prompt not appearing in Chrome (Android): Tap the three-dot menu and look for Add to Home Screen or Install App. If neither appears, clear Chrome’s cache and reload the WinSpirit page. If it still does not appear, use the direct APK download from the app section of the WinSpirit website.
Add to Home Screen not visible in Safari (iOS): The share icon must be used — not the address bar. Tap the square-with-arrow icon at the bottom of the Safari screen. If the Share menu does not include Add to Home Screen, scroll down through the menu options — it may not be visible at first glance.
App not loading after install: Check your internet connection. PWA apps require an active connection to load games. If the connection is fine and the app still does not load, delete the home screen icon and reinstall using the steps above.
Biometric login not working: Go to Account → Security Settings in the app and re-enable Face ID or fingerprint. If you recently changed your biometric data on your device (enrolled a new fingerprint or Face ID appearance), the app’s saved biometric reference needs to be refreshed.
20 free spins not credited after install: The bonus triggers on your first bet of AU$0.10 or more placed through the app. If you placed the bet but spins have not appeared in the Bonuses section within a few minutes, contact live chat with your account email and the app install date — support can verify the qualifying bet and credit manually.
Responsible Gambling
Deposit limits, loss limits, wagering limits, session time reminders and self-exclusion are available in the app under Account → Responsible Gambling. All tools that exist on desktop are accessible from the app.
