Stake app: what the official mobile app actually is
Search results for “Stake app download” — especially in English-language markets like India — are full of pages offering APK files. Stake's own pages describe something different: a progressive web app you install from your browser.
In short
According to current official Stake pages, the official mobile app is a progressive web app installed from a browser — not a traditional native binary distributed through the App Store or Google Play.
Definitions
PWA, APK and native app are not the same thing
Progressive web app
The website itself, installed to your home screen by the browser. It updates when the site updates and needs no store download.
Native app
A platform-specific binary distributed and reviewed through the App Store or Google Play. Stake's casino page states there is no dedicated native iOS or Android application.
APK file
An Android installation package. Files of this kind circulated on third-party sites are not official Stake distributions and carry real security risk.
Security
Why third-party APK files are a bad idea
Sideloaded packages from unknown sites can be repackaged with credential-stealing code, and once installed they sit outside any store review process. StakeLab hosts no APKs and no app files of any kind, and does not link to any. If a page offers you a “Stake APK”, treat it as unaffiliated with Stake until proven otherwise on Stake's own domain.
Method
How the official install works, in general terms
1. Open in a browser
The official Stake site is opened in a standard mobile browser — nothing is downloaded from a third party.
2. Use the browser's install action
Browsers expose “Add to Home Screen” or “Install app” for progressive web apps. That action creates the icon.
3. Launch from the home screen
The icon opens the same web platform in a full-screen window. There is no separate binary to keep updated.

FAQ
Stake app questions
Is there an official Stake APK?
Stake's current official pages describe its mobile experience as a progressive web app installed from the browser, not as a downloadable APK. StakeLab does not host APK files and treats third-party APKs as unofficial.
Is Stake in the App Store or on Google Play?
According to Stake's own casino page, there is no dedicated native iOS or Android application; the web app can instead be added to the home screen from a mobile browser.
Is there a Stake app download for India?
The install method is the same everywhere: the mobile experience is a progressive web app added to the home screen from the browser, so there is no separate India-only download and no official APK file to fetch.
What is a PWA?
A progressive web app is a website that a mobile browser can install to the home screen. It gets an icon and opens full screen like an app, but it is served from the website itself rather than distributed as an installable binary through an app store.
Is the mobile version different from the desktop site?
It is the same web platform presented for a smaller screen. Layout and navigation adapt, and the feature set is the one the site offers to your account, not a separate mobile product.
Does installing it unlock anything extra?
No. The home-screen shortcut loads the same site with the same account access. It adds convenience, not features, and availability still follows Stake's own terms.
