Only from FairPlay
Direct distribution is exactly the situation modified copies exploit. A tampered APK looks identical and captures your login the first time you use it.

Installing on Android, step by step
Four steps. The third one surprises people, so it is worth reading before you start rather than during.
- Download from this site onlyStart the download from FairPlay directly. An APK forwarded on WhatsApp or pulled from a mirror can be modified, and you will not be able to tell by looking.
- Allow installs from your browserAndroid asks once, for that browser only. This is the standard prompt for anything not from the Play Store — it is not a warning that something is wrong.
- Expect a Play Protect noticeAndroid flags apps it has not seen before. Tap the details link and choose to install anyway if the version and size match the download page.
- Open it and sign inLog in with your registered mobile number, then allow notifications if you want wicket and goal alerts on the fixtures you follow.
The Play Protect warning is expected. Android flags every app it has not scanned widely, which includes all legitimately sideloaded apps. It is telling you the app is unfamiliar, not that it is harmful. What actually protects you is downloading from this site and checking the version and file size against what the download page lists.
Before and After Installing
Six things worth knowing
Two about where the file comes from, two about iPhone, and two about keeping it working.
Match version and size
The download page prints the current version number and file size. If what landed on your phone does not match, delete it rather than opening it.
Why Play Protect warns you
Google flags any app it has not scanned widely, which includes every legitimately sideloaded app. The warning means unfamiliar, not malicious.
Trust the profile
iPhone installs run through a configuration profile. Open Settings, find it under General, and trust it before the app will launch the first time.
If the app stops opening
Apple periodically revokes enterprise certificates, which can break a profile-installed app overnight. Reinstalling from the download page fixes it.
Keep it current
Updates in this category carry changes to odds handling and payment flows, not just cosmetics. Running an old build usually means a payment route that no longer works.
App or Mobile Site
You may not need the app at all
The app is genuinely better for in-play betting. For everything else the mobile site does the same job with nothing installed.
| App | Mobile site | |
|---|---|---|
| Install needed | Yes, under 20 MB | No — works in any browser |
| Odds refresh speed | Fastest, held connection | Fast |
| Push alerts for wickets and goals | Yes | No |
| Works on a shared or borrowed phone | Not ideal | Better — nothing left installed |
| Storage used | Under 20 MB | None |
| Survives a phone reset | Needs reinstalling | Nothing to reinstall |
| Full casino and live tables | Yes | Yes |
| Best for | Regular in-play betting | Occasional use, or a borrowed device |
If you are on a borrowed phone, use the site. Nothing gets installed, nothing stays behind after you log out, and you lose only the push notifications. That is a better trade on somebody else's device than it looks.
Data Use
What the app costs your daily plan
Odds and scores are almost free. Video is where a 1.5 GB allowance disappears, and the gap between the two is bigger than most people assume.
| Activity | Data per hour | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Browsing odds and fixtures | ~10–20 MB an hour | Text and numbers. Negligible against any daily plan |
| Following a live match, no video | ~30–50 MB an hour | Prices refreshing ball by ball, which is most in-play betting |
| Live video at standard quality | ~315 MB an hour | About five hours on a 1.5 GB daily plan |
| Live video in HD | ~675 MB an hour | Finishes a 1.5 GB daily plan in roughly two hours |
| Live casino table | ~315 MB an hour | Standard quality. Drop it lower if you are on a metered connection |
Why the app exists, and when it is worth it
The honest case for the app is narrow and specific: in-play betting on a phone is a speed problem. Odds move ball by ball, and the difference between a market you can act on and one that has already gone is often a second of loading.
What actually makes it faster
The mobile site fetches market data through a browser. The app holds an open connection and updates prices in place, without a page reload. On a good Wi-Fi connection that difference is small enough to ignore.
On a congested 4G network at 9pm during an IPL match — which is precisely when you want it — the difference is the whole point. If you mostly bet before matches start, you will genuinely not notice, and the site is the simpler choice.
The Play Store question, answered properly
Google Play does not allow real-money betting apps in India, so every operator in this category distributes Android builds directly. That is not a sign of anything unusual, but it does remove a layer of protection you are used to having, and it is worth being clear about what replaces it.
What replaces it is you checking the source. Download from this site, compare the version number and file size against what the download page shows, and refuse anything that came through a messaging app or a mirror. Repackaged betting APKs are a genuine problem in India, and they exist specifically because direct distribution is the norm here.
Alerts change how you follow a match
Push notifications for wickets, goals and raid points mean you do not have to keep the screen open to know something has happened. For anyone following two or three fixtures at once — an IPL match, a Pro Kabaddi game and late European football — that is the feature that justifies the install on its own.
Set them per fixture rather than globally. Alerts on everything running becomes noise within a day, and you stop reading them exactly when one matters.
Watch the data, not the app size
People worry about a 20 MB download and then stream a match in HD. The install is a rounding error; the video is not. An HD stream will finish a 1.5 GB daily plan in about two hours, while following the same match through prices and scores costs perhaps 40 MB.
If your plan is metered, the useful habit is to follow the market in the app and watch the match on television. You get the fastest prices and the picture, and you spend almost nothing on data doing it.
Keep it updated, and know where the limits live
App updates here are rarely cosmetic — they carry changes to how odds are handled and how payments are processed. An old build is usually a slower experience and occasionally a payment route that has stopped working.
The account tools work identically in the app and on the site. Deposit limits, loss limits and self-exclusion are all in account settings, they apply the moment you set them, and raising one takes a cooling-off period — responsible gaming covers the lot. Notifications make betting easier to reach, which is a good reason to set those limits before you install rather than after. The app is for users aged 18 and over.
FAQ
App questions
Installing, warnings, data and what to do when it stops working.
How do I download the FairPlay app on Android?
Start the download from the FairPlay site itself. Android will ask permission to install apps from your browser — allow it for that browser only. Open the downloaded file, tap install, and it takes a few seconds because the package is under 20 MB. Never install an APK that arrived by message or came from a mirror site.
Why is the app not on the Google Play Store?
Google Play does not permit real-money betting and casino apps in India, so operators distribute Android apps directly instead. That is why the install needs an extra permission step, and it is also exactly why the source matters — with no store in between, checking where the file came from is the only protection you have.
Android says the app is unsafe or blocked. Should I stop?
That message is Play Protect flagging an app it has not scanned widely, which applies to every sideloaded app regardless of who made it. It means unfamiliar rather than harmful. If you downloaded from the FairPlay site and the version and file size match what the download page lists, tap the details link and continue. If either does not match, delete the file.
Is it safe to install an APK?
Installing one from a source you trust is routine and safe. All of the risk sits in the source. A copy pulled from a Telegram channel or a search-result mirror may have been repackaged to capture your credentials, and it will look and behave normally while doing it. Download from this site, verify the version and size, and you have removed essentially the whole risk.
How do I install the app on an iPhone?
iOS installs use a configuration profile rather than the App Store. Follow the iOS instructions on the download page, then open Settings, go to General and find the profile under device management, and trust it. The app will not launch until you have done that step.
My iPhone app suddenly stopped opening. What happened?
Apple periodically revokes the enterprise certificates used for profile-based distribution, which can stop an app launching without warning and without you changing anything. It is not a problem with your account or your phone. Reinstall from the download page and it will work again.
How much data does the app use?
Browsing odds costs around 10 to 20 MB an hour and following a live match without video is roughly 30 to 50 MB — trivial against any daily plan. Video is the expensive part: about 315 MB an hour at standard quality and 675 MB in HD, so an HD stream finishes a 1.5 GB daily allowance in about two hours.
Will the app run on an older phone?
It needs Android 6.0 or later and is built to run on the mid-range hardware most Indian players actually use, not just flagships. The install is under 20 MB. If your phone is older than that, the mobile site has every feature except push notifications and needs nothing installed at all.
