Spinando Casino App — Worth the Space on Your Phone?

We’ve all been there — stuck in traffic on the 401, waiting for a friend who’s «five minutes away» (but isn’t), or standing in the world’s slowest coffee line. That’s when a decent casino app becomes more than just entertainment — it’s a lifeline.

We downloaded the Spinando app to see if it’s worth using during those in-between moments — and it’s better than just «decent.»

DOWNLOAD APP

What you get inside the app is more or less the full Spinando experience:

  • Hundreds of slots from big names like Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, and Belatra.
  • Live dealer games, and we’re talking real-dealer-streamed-from-a-studio type of thing — not some pixelated CGI nightmare.
  • Jackpot games, including progressive ones with those nice, anxiety-inducing spinning prize counters.
  • A handful of instant games, which are surprisingly addictive (we spent 40 minutes on Plinko before realizing it was past midnight).

A small but delightful touch: the «Recently Played» section. Sounds simple, but when you’re bouncing between a few favourite games, this little list saves you from scrolling back through 300 titles. We’d love to see more casino apps borrow this feature.

We’ve tested the app across various phone models and Wi-Fi speeds (some of which are slower than hotel internet) and came away mostly impressed.

How to Download & Install the Spinando App (Canada Edition)?

If you’ve ever tried to download a casino app and ended up in a weird corner of the internet, we feel your pain. Thankfully, Spinando keeps it clean. Here’s the no-fuss, no-headache way to get it on your phone.

iPhone (iOS) Users

We tested the Spinando iOS app on an iPhone 11, an iPhone 13 Pro, and even an iPad Mini just to be sure. No issues across the board. Here’s how you can install it:
  • 01
    Open the App Store.
  • 02
    Search for «Spinando Casino» and tap download. Wait a few seconds — the file size isn’t massive.
  • 03
    Launch the app, sign in or register, and you’re good to go.

Android Users — Read This Part Carefully

Here’s where things get a little more hands-on. Because of how Google treats real money gambling apps in Canada, you won’t find Spinando in the Play Store. Instead, you’ll need to install the app via an APK file, which may sound intimidating but is actually quite straightforward.
Here’s what you do:
  • 01
    Head to the official Spinando website on your phone.
  • 02
    Tap the «Download for Android» button — this will download the APK file.
  • 03
    Your phone might show a warning. It’s normal. Just allow installations from this source.
  • 04
    Once installed, open it up and start playing.
Don’t download the APK from random third-party sites. Stick with the official Spinando site. We ran a malware scan on the APK just to be sure, and it came out clean.
And for the skeptical among you: yes, you can uninstall the APK app at any time, just like any other regular app. No weird traces left behind. We tried.

App Features & Benefits — What Makes It Worth Downloading?

A lot of mobile casino apps promise the moon but crash halfway through a blackjack round or make you feel like you’re trying to navigate an old website from 2009. The Spinando app doesn’t do that. It runs clean, responds fast, and feels like it was made by someone who’s played on a mobile app before.
We put it through its paces on our phones (a mix of iPhones, Samsung Galaxy models, and a very cranky old Pixel 4), and here’s what stood out  — both the good and the surprisingly thoughtful.

Portability: Always Ready When You Are

You’re in the grocery line, on the train to Mississauga, or watching a slow Blue Jays game, that’s where Spinando shines.
You don’t need to be at home. You don’t need a computer. Just open the app and you’ve got full access to your account, balance, and favourite games. There’s no watered-down version — it’s the same casino, just in your pocket.
And yes, it works on both Wi-Fi and data. We played on a patchy LTE signal somewhere outside Sudbury and still managed a decent poker round.
Security: Quietly Solid
Some apps constantly remind you how secure they are (which ironically makes us less confident). Spinando just gets on with it. Here’s what it offers in terms of security:
Security Feature What It Does
Fingerprint/Face Login Fast, secure, and no need to type passwords.
Auto-Logou You’ll be logged out after a period of inactivity.
SSL Encryption Keeps personal and payment data protected.
Player Limits Daily and weekly limits are built into the app.
Session Reminders Gentle nudge if you’re playing too long.
We also noticed the app doesn’t store any payment information unless you choose to — you’re always in control. A small touch, but one we appreciated.

Mobile Optimization: Not Just a Mini Website

Spinando didn’t just shrink their desktop site and call it an app. It actually feels like it was built for mobile, and not in a lazy way.
Here’s what works well:
  • Large tap targets — No zooming in just to click «Play.»
  • Fast loading — Games launch in under 5 seconds (we timed it).
  • Portrait mode support — Great for one-handed play.
  • Live chat — Available directly in the app, not buried in menus.
  • Favourites tab — Saves your go-to games in one place.
It’s also very lightweight in terms of storage. The install size was just under 60 MB, which is about the same as 20 cat photos. Worth it.

Exclusive Features

We were pleasantly surprised to find a few things in the app you don’t always get on desktop:
  • App-only Free Spins. We found some app-only bonuses just for logging in. These are one-time promos, but worth noting.
  • Push Notifications for Bonuses. You can opt in (or out) of alerts about new promos. We only got about two per week, and they were useful, not spam.
  • Faster Cashier Access. Deposits and withdrawals load quicker in the app than on mobile browsers. Not sure why, but less waiting is always good.
  • Live Game Shortcuts. There’s a shortcut to rejoin your most recently played live dealer table. Feels like walking back to the same seat at your favourite blackjack table.
What We Liked Most
Feature Our Take
Game variety Full range — slots, live games, crash games.
Ease of navigation Simple layout, quick access.
Speed & reliability Barely any crashes, even on older phones.
Exclusive offers App-only deals made it worth installing.
Battery usage Surprisingly efficient — didn’t drain fast.
No fluff Just casino — no newsfeeds, no pop culture tabs.

Room for Improvement?

We’d be lying if we said the app was flawless. Nothing is. A few minor points worth knowing:
  • No dark mode (yet) — Bright interface in low light isn’t great on the eyes.
  • Not on the Google Play Store — Android users must install via APK (an easy, but extra step).
  • Some games are portrait-only — If you’re a landscape gamer, this might bug you.
But honestly, these aren’t deal-breakers. Compared to some of the clunky apps we’ve tested (we won’t name names, but yikes), Spinando’s overall usability is a win.

App Requirements & Compatible Devices

Let’s talk tech. Or rather, let’s make tech easy to understand. If your phone is less than five years old, you’re likely to be good to go. Spinando’s app isn’t some graphics-hungry monster. Still, it does need a halfway decent device to run smoothly, especially if you’re planning on hitting the live tables or launching a 3D slot game with flying dragons and exploding bonus rounds.
Minimum Requirements
We put together a quick reference to check if your phone can handle it:
Platform Minimum OS Version Recommended RAM Storage Needed Performance Notes
Android Android 8.0 (Oreo) 3 GB+ ~60 MB APK needed; runs smoothly on 2019+ models
iOS iOS 12 or later 2 GB+ ~55 MB Works great on iPhone 8 and newer
We ran tests on these devices:
  • iPhone 11 Pro — flawless, snappy.
  • Google Pixel 4 — minor hiccups with live tables, but still playable.
  • iPhone SE (2nd gen) — handled everything fine.
  • iPad Air (2020) — big screen made slots feel even more satisfying.
  • Samsung Galaxy S10 — no lag at all.
Older phones? You may need to be patient with loading times, but basic slots and table games should still function properly. Just don’t expect lightning speed.

Mobile Web Version — No Download, No Problem

Not everyone loves installing apps. Maybe you’re low on space. Perhaps you’re borrowing a phone, or you simply enjoy playing one round of roulette and then moving on with your day. That’s where Spinando’s mobile web version earns its keep.
Just head to the Spinando site in your mobile browser (we tried Safari, Chrome, and even Firefox — all worked fine). You’ll get access to:
  • Your full account.
  • Deposits and withdrawals.
  • All the games (yes, even live casino and jackpots).
  • Bonuses and promos.
Here are some differences between the app and the website:
Feature App Version Mobile Web Version
Load speed Faster (offline assets) Slightly slower
Notifications Yes No
Mobile-only bonuses Yes Not always
Installation needed Yes Nope
Push alerts for offers Yes No
Runs on older devices Yes Yes (even older browsers)
We didn’t run into any major issues, though live games sometimes took a few seconds longer to launch. All in all, it’s a solid backup for when you’re on a new device or just don’t want to commit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

We’ve gathered some common questions from readers, plus a few we had ourselves while testing Spinando’s app. Here’s what you might be wondering:
  • Can I Use the Same Login Credentials for Both the App and the Website?

    Yes. Your Spinando account works across all platforms — app, browser, and mobile site. No need to register twice.

  • Do I Get Any Bonuses for Using the App?

    Often, yes. We received some free spins just for logging in after installing the app on our Android device. Spinando occasionally sends app-only offers, too, especially for reloads or new slots.

  • Is the App Safe to Install as an APK on Android?

    It is, as long as you download it from the official Spinando site. Avoid purchasing from sketchy third-party stores. We scanned the app file ourselves and had zero issues.

  • Will the App Run on My Older Phone?

    If you’re using a device like an iPhone 7 or a 2018 Android with decent RAM, yes — most slots will work fine. A live casino game may feel a bit sluggish, but it remains usable and functional.

  • How Do I Update the App?

    For iOS, updates are delivered through the App Store, just like any other app. On Android, you typically receive a prompt when a new version is available. You’ll need to re-download the APK manually and install it over the existing version (it won’t delete your data).

  • What if I’m Having Connection Issues?

    First, check your signal or Wi-Fi. Spinando handles weak connections better than most apps we’ve tested, but live tables can still struggle on spotty LTE. You can also lower quality settings in some live games if needed.

Responsible Gaming

Before we go, a quick but important reminder: Spinando, like all real money casinos, is meant to be fun, not a side hustle or a «retirement plan.»
Spinando includes built-in tools for responsible gambling:
  • Deposit and loss limits.
  • Session reminders.
  • «Take a break» options.
  • Self-exclusion tools.
  • Links to support services, such as ConnexOntario and GamTalk.

If you ever feel like you’re chasing losses or playing for the wrong reasons, it’s okay to step back. No bonus is worth your peace of mind.

Whether you’re playing on your lunch break or lounging on the couch after work, it just works. And really, that’s all we ask for.
