The app installs a single APK on Android (around 40 to 80 MB depending on the build) or a single bundle on iOS. The first launch asks for permission to send notifications, which we recommend accepting so you can see session timer alerts.
02 · Verify the build before you log in
Open the app settings and find the version number. Cross-check it against the version listed on the official download page before you log in. A mismatched version is a sign the build has been altered or repackaged.
Verification takes under a minute and is the cheapest safety measure available to a new installer. A mismatched version or publisher is a release-blocker. The five-second check costs nothing and protects your account from a credential-theft vector that is unfortunately common on third-party download sites.

On Android, also check the signing certificate in the system app info screen. The publisher name should match the official operator name. A mismatched publisher is a release-blocker.
03 · Permissions you can safely decline
Notifications are useful for session timers and bonus expiry. Accept them. Storage is required for caching; accept it. Camera is not required to play; decline it. Microphone is not required; decline it. Location is not required; decline it.
Permission re-prompts are not a normal part of the install flow. If the app asks again for a permission you declined, that is a sign the build has been altered. A clean app remembers your declines and does not re-ask.

If the app re-prompts for a declined permission mid-session, that is a sign the build is asking for more than it needs. We have not seen a legitimate build do this.
04 · First launch and account creation
The first launch walks through account creation: phone number or email, a verification code, and a password. The verification code is sent to the same channel you entered. If the code never arrives, see Login and Account for the recovery workflow.
Account creation requires a phone number or email and a password. The first verification code is sent to the same channel; the recovery workflow for missing codes is in Login and Account. If the code never arrives, the workflow walks you through the network switch and the carrier delay.

You can also log in with an existing account. The app remembers the account on the device but does not auto-fill the password on launch; that is a deliberate security choice.
05 · Depositing from inside the app
The deposit flow lives behind the wallet icon in the top-right corner of the home screen. The first deposit prompts for the verification flow described in Safety and Verification. You cannot deposit before verification is complete.
Deposits inside the app follow the same traceback rules as the web platform. UPI, net banking and a small number of prepaid instruments are supported. The full payment flow is in Wallet and Verification.

After verification, the deposit flow supports UPI, net banking and a small number of prepaid instruments. We work through the payment traceback rules in Wallet and Verification.
06 · Playing your first hand in-app
The home screen shows available formats: Points, Pool and Deals. Tap a format to see open tables. The table list shows stake, table size and player count. Tap a table to take a seat; if the table is full, the app offers a waitlist.
The home screen layout is the same on web and app; the table list and the gameplay screen are the same. The app’s value is convenience: a saved account, a saved payment instrument and a session timer that runs in the background.

The first hand tutorial is built into Points Rummy. We do not recommend skipping it; the tutorial covers the drop option, which most new players misunderstand.
07 · Withdrawing winnings to source instrument
Withdrawals are initiated from the same wallet icon. The default destination is the payment instrument you deposited from. Changing the destination requires re-verification and a documented reason.
Withdrawals are initiated from the wallet screen. The destination is the source payment instrument by default. The published window is 24 hours for UPI and 48 to 72 hours for bank withdrawals. The window is confirmed by support on request.

The withdrawal window is published in the wallet screen. UPI withdrawals typically clear within 24 hours; bank withdrawals within 48 to 72 hours. If the window slips without an explanation, contact Customer Care before raising a dispute.
08 · Uninstalling and clearing local data
To uninstall cleanly, log out of the app first, then remove it from the device. Local cache (hand history, cached avatars) is wiped by the uninstall. Your account remains on the platform and can be accessed again from any other install.
Uninstalling cleanly requires logging out first. A clean uninstall wipes local cache but does not affect your account; you can reinstall or switch to the web platform without losing your hand history or balance.

If you are uninstalling because you want a longer break, the platform also offers self-exclusion through your account settings. The full workflow is in Responsible Play.
Common questions
Do I have to install the app to play?
No. The web platform runs in any modern browser and offers the same formats and the same welcome offer terms. The app is a convenience, not a requirement.
Why does the app ask for notifications?
For session timer alerts and bonus expiry reminders. The reminder can be turned off in app settings without affecting play.
What is the difference between the Android app and the iOS app?
The feature set is the same. The Android build may offer APK download from the official site in regions where the Google Play listing is not available; the iOS build is available through the App Store in supported regions.
Can I install on more than one device?
Yes. The same account can be signed in on multiple devices. The active session is the most recent login; older sessions are logged out automatically after 30 days of inactivity.
