Download the FairPlay app by asking our desk chat for the APK link: a free installer of about 16 MB that runs on Android 8 (Oreo) or newer. Allow unknown apps once for your browser, install, then sign in with the username and password you already use. iPhone owners add a Safari home-screen icon instead.
Three things wait on the first screen of the FairPlay app. Your username, your password, and a Remember me tick. Nothing else.
Remember me on this phone
Use This FairPlay Login in the 16 MB App or BrowserThose are the same details you type on the website, which is the whole point: the FairPlay app is a different door into one account, not a second account. Tick Remember me on your own handset; skip it on a phone that other people borrow.
Most people searching for a FairPlay download expect a store button. There is none, and that surprises people the first time. The FairPlay APK reaches you as a link inside the WhatsApp chat with our desk on +91 81097 11726, and the first reply usually lands within about two minutes (on a big match night it can stretch to roughly six).
From that point the job is short. The file is around 16 MB, so on ordinary mobile data it finishes before you have put the kettle on. What slows people down is never the download itself; it is the one permission screen Android throws up the first time a browser tries to install something.
A typical run: Arjun messages the desk one evening, gets the link, taps it in Chrome, hits the unknown-apps prompt, flips the switch for Chrome, installs, and signs in with the username he has used on the website for months. Same balance, same open bets.
The ladder on the right is that run, step by step. If a step does not look like your screen, the permission section below covers the menu names that shift from brand to brand.
Oreo changed how sideloading works. Older Android phones had one global switch, usually called Unknown sources, that opened the door for every app at once. From Android 8 onward the permission is given per app: you allow Chrome, or Samsung Internet, or whichever browser fetched the FairPlay APK, and nothing else gets the same right.
Oreo is also the floor the FairPlay APK needs, so every phone that can run it uses the per-app switch. You will see a notice along the lines of your phone not being allowed to install unknown apps from this source, with a Settings shortcut. Tap Settings. You land on a single switch labelled Allow from this source. Turn it on, press back, and the installer picks up where it stopped.
Where the switch lives if you need to find it by hand:
| Phone family | Typical menu path | What to switch on |
|---|---|---|
| Stock Android, Pixel, Motorola | Settings › Apps › Special app access › Install unknown apps | Your browser › Allow from this source |
| Samsung (One UI) | Settings › Apps › the browser › Install unknown apps | Allow from this source |
| Xiaomi, Redmi, Poco | Settings › Privacy or Apps › Special permissions › Install unknown apps | The browser that downloaded the file |
| Vivo, Oppo, Realme, OnePlus | Settings › Apps or Security › Install unknown apps | The browser, or the Files app if you opened it from there |
Menu names drift between brands and even between yearly Android releases on the same phone, so treat the paths as rough directions rather than gospel. The label Install unknown apps is the part that rarely changes; search for it in the Settings bar if the path above does not match.
Read the name on the prompt before you tap anything. Android always names the app asking for the right, and it is not always the browser: start the FairPlay APK from the download bar and Chrome is named, start it from Files or My Files and the file manager is. Allow whichever name is printed there. That is rung two of the ladder, and it is the only rung where people stall.
After rung three, the the switch has done its job. Turning it back off does not touch the FairPlay app already on the phone, since that permission governs new installs only. Plenty of players flip it off the same evening and flip it on again for the next FairPlay update, so a browser never keeps install rights it is not using.
Storage, briefly: you need a little more than 16 MB free, because Android holds the downloaded file and the installed app at the same time until you delete the APK from Downloads. Delete it afterwards if space is tight. Some phones also show a Play Protect notice for anything installed outside the Play Store; that notice appears for every sideloaded app and is not a verdict on the file, which is exactly why the source of the link matters more than the warning (more on that further down).
iPhone owners who search the App Store for this FairPlay account come up empty, and that is expected. Apple phones cannot open an APK, the 16 MB package is Android-only, and whatever sits in the App Store under the FairPlay name was published by people with no link to your ID.
What iPhone players use instead is a home-screen icon made in Safari. It behaves like an app icon: one tap, and the FairPlay sign-in opens. Setting it up takes moments.
The icon now sits beside your other apps, and the same username, password and wallet work through it as on the website. That is all the FairPlay application on iPhone is: a shortcut to the live address, saved where your thumb expects it.
The Safari route has one weak spot that the Android card below does not. Indian networks block betting addresses now and then, and an icon is welded to whichever FairPlay address you saved it from. A blank page on tap means the address went, not the account. So reverse the usual order: ask the desk for today’s working FairPlay address, add the new icon first, test it, and only then press and hold the old one to remove it. You are never left without a way in, and the username, password and balance are the same on both.
Android users rarely face this step because the FairPlay app is updated as a whole package, which brings us to the comparison.
Both routes end at the same FairPlay account. They differ in what you install, what can break, and how you fix it.
Best for players who bet most evenings and want a FairPlay icon that opens without hunting for an address.
Works on any iPhone that runs Safari. Same FairPlay username, password and wallet.
A phone below Android 8 cannot run the FairPlay APK at all. For those handsets the browser is the fallback: Chrome on an older Android still opens the FairPlay sign-in, and our FairPlay online betting page covers that browser-only route in full, from picking a sport to the bet slip.
A search for the fairplay app or the longer fairplay application usually means the Android package, and that is the file the desk sends on chat. The fairplay app download and fairplay apk download phrases end at the same 16 MB installer for Android 8 and newer, never at a store listing.
An iPhone has no installed file at all: its fairplay application is the icon Safari saves to the home screen, signing in with the same ID.
Signing in to the FairPlay app does not create anything new. The account, the balance, the open bets and the history are the ones you already have on the website, because the app and the browser read the same wallet. Bet on the laptop at lunch, check the result on the phone at night. The numbers match.
What that wallet covers is laid out on our FairPlay login home page: sportsbook markets, the back-and-lay exchange, live dealer tables and instant games, all on one balance. The app simply puts them a thumb away.
In-play cricket. Markets that move during a match suspend and reopen around wickets and reviews; how that behaves on the board is explained on the FairPlay live betting page, and the app shows the same board.
Placing a bet. Back, lay, fancy session, toss. The worked stake-and-return example sits on our FairPlay bet types page rather than being repeated here.
Money in. The minimum deposit is ₹300, with the full UPI and IMPS details on the home page linked above.
Money out. Withdrawals go to a same-name account; UPI usually clears in 25-45 minutes, and the FairPlay withdrawal time page owns the bank, holiday and limit details.
Password trouble inside the app has the same causes as on the site, and the same cure. Wrong case, an old password, a temporary one that was never changed. The rules and the reset route live on the FairPlay login password page; the app adds no extra step of its own.
Remember me has one interaction worth knowing. After a password reset through the desk, or a change made on the website, the saved sign-in on the phone goes stale; on its next check the FairPlay app drops back to the username and password screen from the login card above. Type the new password, tick the box again, and you are back where you were.
Three routes, then, into one FairPlay ID: the APK on an Android phone running Oreo or later, the Safari icon on an iPhone, and a plain browser tab on anything else, laptops included. Plenty of players use two of them in the same day. Nothing needs syncing between them, because nothing lives on the device except the saved sign-in; the balance you see in the app at night is the balance the laptop showed at lunch, minus or plus whatever settled in between.
Google’s store is the first place most Android users look, and for this FairPlay account it is a dead end. The listings that turn up under the name come from other developers, sell other things, and will not recognise a username issued by our desk. Nothing is wrong with your search; the FairPlay APK simply is not distributed there.
The same goes, in practice, for APK download sites that list a file called FairPlay. We cannot say what is inside those packages, and that uncertainty is the whole problem. The link we hand out comes from one place: the desk chat on +91 81097 11726. If a link reaches you from anywhere else (a group forward, a comment under a video, a stranger's DM), ask the desk before you tap it. Fake numbers circulate, and our note on spotting the genuine FairPlay WhatsApp number covers how to tell the real line, which ends in 11726.
Why uninstall first rather than install over the the top? Mostly because an install over an older FairPlay package can stall with a vague error, and removing the old one first sidesteps that. It takes seconds and loses nothing, since the account lives on the FairPlay servers, not inside the app.
One more time, because it matters most on this page: the FairPlay APK comes from the desk chat, nowhere else. Same link source for the first install and for every update.
Almost every FairPlay app problem the desk sees falls into one of a handful of patterns. Find the message on your screen in the left column.
| What you see | Usual cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| App not installed, or a parse error | Phone runs Android 7 or older, or the download broke halfway | Read the Android number under About phone; fetch the file again over Wi-Fi; below 8, sign in from Chrome |
| Install blocked for this source | Unknown-apps permission is off for that browser or file manager | Tap Settings on the notice and allow the named app |
| Not enough storage | Less space free than the package needs during install | Clear some room, delete old APK files from Downloads, try again |
| Invalid username or password | Caps lock, or an old or temporary password | Retype carefully; if it still fails, use the reset route on the password page |
| Screen stays blank or will not load | The address behind it is blocked in India | Message the desk for a working address or a fresh APK |
| Session expired | The app sat idle too long | Sign in again; the idle limit is listed on the password page |
| Install stalls during an update | Old FairPlay package still on the phone | Uninstall it, then install the new file |
Android release numbers confuse people, so a word on the first row. Settings › About phone usually shows an Android line; anything reading 8, 9, 10 or higher is fine for the FairPlay APK. A phone showing 7 will refuse the install every time, and no setting changes that.
The blank-screen row deserves a second look too. It is the same blocking problem iPhone icons run into, just seen from the Android side, and the cure is the same: get the current working address or package from the desk. Your FairPlay ID keeps working on any address that is live today.
Two rows, the blank screen and the update stall, are really one cause: something on the phone points at a FairPlay address or package that has since been replaced. The desk usually answers both with a fresh link rather than a list of settings to try.
When none of the rows fits, message the desk on the FairPlay WhatsApp line with your username and a screenshot of the error. A screenshot saves a round of back-and-forth; the exact wording on screen tells the desk which of the patterns above it is, or whether it is something new.
Hard to say which problem is most common. The permission prompt probably wins on first installs, and the update stall on second ones, but both are a minute's work once you know what they are.
Message the desk on WhatsApp at +91 81097 11726 and ask for the APK link. Tap it in your phone browser, allow Install unknown apps for that browser when Android asks, then install the roughly 16 MB file and open it. Sign in with the username and password you already use.
It is as safe as its source. Take the APK only from the desk chat on the number ending 11726, never from forwards, video comments or APK download sites. Android may show a Play Protect notice for any file installed outside the Play Store; that notice alone does not judge the file.
No. Searching the Play Store for FairPlay brings up apps from other developers that share the name, and none of them signs in with a betting ID. The Android package our desk hands out is a sideloaded APK of about 16 MB, sent as a link in the WhatsApp chat on the number ending 11726.
Yes, through Safari rather than a download. iOS does not run Android packages and no App Store listing exists for this FairPlay account. In Safari, load the sign-in address, press Share, pick Add to Home Screen and confirm. The new icon opens your FairPlay ID, wallet included, and needs re-adding only if that address gets blocked.
The installer is about 16 MB and needs Android 8, also called Oreo, or any newer release. Keep a little more than that free, because the downloaded file and the installed app sit on the phone together until you delete the APK from your Downloads folder.
Not at all. One FairPlay ID covers the 16 MB Android app, the Safari icon and every working web address. Type the username the desk issued and your current password; the Remember me tick is the only extra on the app screen. Change the password on one route and the others ask for the new one.
Usually the phone runs Android 7 or older, the download broke partway, or the unknown-apps permission is off. Check the Android release under About phone, download the file again on a steady connection and allow the browser named on the prompt. Older phones can still use the browser instead.
Treat it as a fresh install. Remove the current FairPlay app, ask the desk chat for the new APK link, then repeat the download, allow and install rungs. Sign in with the same username and password as before; balance and bet history were never stored inside the app, so they reappear untouched.
