Android and iPhone owners in the UK can play at Prospect Hall Casino without opening an app store. You save the site to your home screen, and the Prospect Hall Casino app launches full screen from its own icon, with no installer and almost no storage use.
Neither Google Play nor the App Store lists a Prospect Hall Casino app download, because the casino runs as a browser-based app. Store apps need updates, approvals and recent operating systems. A browser app loads the current version each time you open it, on a five-year-old Samsung and on a new iPhone alike.
Adding the app to your home screen
The steps differ by a tap or two between Android and iPhone. You don't need an account to start.
Android with Chrome
- Open Chrome and go to the Prospect Hall Casino website.
- Tap the three dots in the top right corner.
- Choose "Add to Home screen" or "Install app", depending on your Chrome version.
- Confirm the name and tap Add.
iPhone with Safari
- Open the Prospect Hall Casino website in Safari.
- Tap the Share icon, the square with an arrow, at the bottom of the screen.
- Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen".
- Tap Add in the top right corner.
The icon lands beside your other apps. Tap it and Prospect Hall Casino opens without the browser address bar. The app runs from the casino's servers, so you never install an update, and your balance on your phone matches the balance on your laptop.
Finding your way around the Prospect Hall casino app
The lobby sorts games into categories such as slots, live casino, table games and new releases. Scroll down the homepage to browse each row, or tap the search icon and type a game or provider name. UKGC rules require age checks before any game opens, including demo mode, so create an account before you start.
Tap the heart on any game tile to save it to your favourites. Your saved games sit in their own tab, which puts your regular slot one tap from the lobby. The menu button in the bottom bar opens the cashier, promotions, account settings and support.
Prospect Hall mobile casino: games and performance
The Prospect Hall mobile casino carries slots, roulette, blackjack and live dealer tables. Slots load in portrait. Table and live games play better in landscape, so turn your phone sideways before you take a seat.
Live dealer streams use far more mobile data than slots. Switch to Wi-Fi if your plan has a cap. If a game stutters, close your other apps and clear your browser cache, which fixes most loading problems.
Creating an account and depositing in pounds
Tap Sign Up in the top corner, enter your email and a password, and confirm you are 18 or over. The next screen asks for your full name, date of birth, home address and phone number. Enter them as they appear on your passport or driving licence. Prospect Hall Casino checks these details and may ask for photo ID and proof of address before your first withdrawal.
Deposits and withdrawals in £
Open the cashier and pick a method. Visa and Mastercard debit cards work. Credit cards do not, because the UKGC banned them for gambling in April 2020 and no UK casino can accept them. The cashier lists any PayPal, Pay by Phone or Open Banking options open to your account, along with the minimum deposit and any fees, all in £. Withdraw to the method you deposited with where you can, since that clears verification faster.
Claiming the welcome bonus on mobile
Prospect Hall Casino lists its current offer and terms on the promotions page. Tick the bonus box in the cashier before you confirm your deposit, because you cannot add it afterwards. Check the wagering requirement before you pay. A 10x requirement on a £20 bonus means you wager £200 before you withdraw bonus winnings.
Security and licensing on your phone
A casino serving UK customers needs a UKGC licence. Scroll to the footer of the Prospect Hall Casino site, copy the licence number and look it up on the Gambling Commission's public register. Look for the padlock in your browser bar before you enter card details.
Lock your phone with a PIN, fingerprint or Face ID, and log out after each session if anyone else uses your device.
Staying in control
Set a deposit limit in your account settings before your first deposit. You find reality checks and time-outs in the same menu. GamStop blocks you from every UK-licensed gambling site in one registration. BeGambleAware runs the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133, free and open 24 hours a day. Gambling is for adults aged 18 and over.
