Web, mobile, PWA

Web, Mobile and PWA in online casinos

A modern online casino is not just a site. This is a multi-platform solution available from any device: from desktops to smartphones and tablets. The choice between web, mobile and PWA depends on the project objectives, target audience and level of involvement.

Casino Web Version

Classic option available through a browser on any device:

• Full interface with wide functionality
• Convenient for desktop users
• Does not require installation
• Updates quickly without user input
• Can use cookies, localStorage, cache for optimization

Cons: loss of convenience without adaptation is possible on mobile devices

Mobile version

Adaptive design tailored for smartphones and tablets:

• Easy navigation with swipes and large controls
• Quick transitions to games, profile, replenishment
• Full gaming without installing applications
• Integration with native features (camera, biometrics)

Cons: still browser dependent, no offline operation

PWA (Progressive Web App)

A hybrid of the browser and native approach:

• Installed as an app without App Store and Google Play
• Works offline (caching games, interfaces)
• Supports push notifications and auto-updates
• Lighter weight and faster download speeds than native applications
• Ideal for bypassing locks (especially in sensitive jurisdictions)

Cons: Limited support for some iOS features (e.g. push)

Comparison of formats

Platform	Installation	Offline	Notifications	Speed	OS Support

Mobile				Medium	All
PWA				High	Android/Partly iOS

Web, Mobile and PWA are tools for flexible delivery of casino content to players. Depending on the region, type of players and marketing goals, the platform can develop in one or several directions at once. Especially promising is the PWA approach, which combines the simplicity of a browser and the convenience of a native application.
