90 Percent of Online Casino Searches Come from Mobile A recent research article on casino apps adoption and trends by large Indian real money gaming comparison platform SevenJackpots reveals that “around 90% of all players looking for casinos are doing so from their mobile devices”.

One of the reasons behind the popularity of casino apps is the dominant share of Android phones on the Indian market. Research data shows that all top 6 brands of smartphones use the open-source operating system, with these brands boasting a collective share of 89 percent of all devices used for casino gaming in India.

“Android devices are cheap, user friendly, has good storage space, and are open source, resulting in real money gambling apps being more widely available for Android users than for iOS users,” the industry researchers at SevenJackpots explain.
Publicly available statistical sources confirm these trends, with Android phones holding a 95.23 percent share of all smartphones in India by the end of 2020, while iOS takes the second position with merely a 3.2 percent share. It is worth noting that Android’s share hiked from a little bit over 10 percent in 2012 to more than 60 percent by 2016, before continuing its advance to the present-day levels.
In terms of device brands, the smartphones by Xiaomi are the most popular among desi gamblers even though they entered the Indian market as late as 2016. The Chinese brand has overtaken South Korean giant Samsung which now holds the second largest market share in India. The third place is taken by Vivo, with Oppo, Realme, OnePlus, and Apple filling in the rest of the chart.
