The MrQ mobile app is available for both iOS and Android. The Android APK weighs in at approximately 15 MB; the iOS version is available as a Progressive Web App you add directly to your home screen. Neither requires a large download, and both run the full MrQ library — slots, live casino, and account management — without a desktop fallback. This page covers the exact download steps, system requirements, and a straight comparison between the app and your mobile browser so you know which one is worth your time.
How to download the MrQ app
MrQ is not listed on Google Play. Android users download via APK directly from the MrQ website. iOS users add the site to their home screen through Safari — Apple does not list MrQ in the UK App Store. Both routes take under two minutes once you're on the correct page.
Download only from mrq.com. Third-party APK mirrors and casino aggregator download links have no affiliation with MrQ and carry obvious security risks. If you're unsure whether a link is official, type the URL directly into your browser rather than following an external link.
| Platform | Source | File Size | Min OS Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Android | mrq.com (APK direct download) | ~15 MB | Android 7.0+ | Not on Google Play; unknown sources must be enabled |
| iOS (iPhone) | Safari → Add to Home Screen (PWA) | No download required | iOS 13+ | Not in UK App Store; PWA works identically to app |
| iPad | Safari → Add to Home Screen (PWA) | No download required | iPadOS 13+ | Full-screen mode supported |
How to download the APK on Android
APK stands for Android Package Kit — the file format Android uses to install applications outside Google Play. Casino apps are rarely listed on Play because Google's developer policies restrict real-money gambling apps in most territories, so the APK route is standard practice, not a workaround.
Installing from an unknown source requires one permission change on your device. This is a deliberate Android security step, not a flaw. Steps:
- Open Chrome or your preferred browser and navigate to mrq.com
- Scroll to the footer or look for the "Download App" / "Mobile" section
- Tap the Android download button to start the APK download
- When the download completes, tap the notification or go to your Downloads folder
- Android will prompt: "For your security, your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source." Tap Settings
- Toggle Allow from this source for your browser, then press the back button
- Tap Install on the APK prompt
- Once installed, open MrQ, log in to your existing account, or tap the registration link to sign up
If Android displays a "Harmful app" warning — this is a generic prompt triggered by any app installed outside Play, not a specific flag on MrQ. You can safely proceed. After installation, you can turn "unknown sources" back off in your security settings if you prefer.
Author's tip from Nathaniel Brooks, Casino Content Researcher: "After installing the APK, I'd recommend leaving 'Allow from this source' toggled off again in your Android security settings — it only needs to be on during the install itself. Keeping it off afterwards reduces your risk surface if you ever accidentally tap a dodgy link."
Android app — requirements and compatibility
MrQ's Android app runs on any device with Android 7.0 (Nougat) or later. That covers the vast majority of smartphones sold in the UK in the last five years. Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OnePlus, and Xiaomi devices I tested all installed without issues. The APK is lightweight enough that storage rarely causes problems — clear your cache if the install fails on an older device.
| Parameter | Minimum | Recommended | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Android version | 7.0 (Nougat) | 10.0+ | Older versions may have rendering issues on live casino |
| RAM | 2 GB | 4 GB+ | Live casino streams benefit from 4 GB |
| Free storage | 30 MB | 100 MB+ | Cache grows with use; clear periodically |
| Tablet support | Yes (Android 7.0+) | Yes | Landscape mode supported; UI scales to screen size |
iOS app — how to install on iPhone and iPad
MrQ is not available in the UK App Store. The iOS route uses a Progressive Web App (PWA) — essentially a website that behaves like a native app once pinned to your home screen. Safari handles this natively; no third-party tools are required. The experience is functionally identical to the Android APK: full-screen, persistent login, push notifications where the browser permits.
Steps for iPhone and iPad:
- Open Safari — this must be Safari, not Chrome or Firefox, which do not support the Add to Home Screen PWA feature on iOS
- Navigate to mrq.com
- Tap the Share button (the box with an upward arrow at the bottom of the screen)
- Scroll down the share sheet and tap Add to Home Screen
- Edit the name if you wish, then tap Add in the top-right corner
- The MrQ icon will appear on your home screen — tap it to open in full-screen mode
| Parameter | iPhone | iPad | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Min iOS version | iOS 13 | iPadOS 13 | iOS 15+ recommended for stable PWA behaviour |
| App Store listing | Not available (UK) | Not available (UK) | PWA via Safari is the official iOS install route |
| Full-screen support | Yes | Yes | Hides Safari URL bar when launched from home screen |
| Face ID / Touch ID | Via Safari | Via Safari | Biometric autofill for saved login credentials |
Author's tip from Nathaniel Brooks, Casino Content Researcher: "On iPhone, the PWA only works properly when added from Safari. I made the mistake of trying this in Chrome first and the 'Add to Home Screen' option simply wasn't there. Save yourself five minutes of confusion: open mrq.com in Safari specifically before following the steps above."
App vs mobile browser — which is better?
I tested both over several sessions. Honest answer: the gap is smaller than you'd expect. The Android APK loads slot lobbies marginally faster — roughly one second on a decent 4G connection — and push notifications are the one feature you simply cannot get through a browser. For live casino specifically, I noticed slightly more stable streaming in the app compared to Chrome mobile on Android. That said, the browser is perfectly functional for the majority of play sessions, and iOS PWA users won't notice a practical difference from the home screen shortcut.
| Feature | App (Android APK / iOS PWA) | Mobile Browser | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Push notifications | ✓ Yes | ✗ No | Withdrawal status alerts, bonus credits |
| Biometric login | ✓ Face ID / fingerprint | Partial (via browser autofill) | Native biometric faster than browser autofill |
| Full game library | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | Slots, live casino, account management — all available |
| Load speed (lobby) | ~1s faster on 4G | Slightly slower initial load | Negligible on 5G or strong Wi-Fi |
| Live casino streaming | More stable on 4G | Functional; occasional buffering on 4G | Minimum 10 Mbps recommended for live tables |
| Deposits and withdrawals | ✓ Full access | ✓ Full access | All MrQ payment methods available in both |
Deposits and withdrawals in the app
Every payment method MrQ supports is available in the app — Visa Debit, Mastercard, PayPal, Pay by Mobile, and Instant Bank Transfer. The checkout flow is identical to desktop. PayPal opens in a secure in-app browser rather than the PayPal app itself on some devices; if you prefer to use the PayPal app directly, the browser version of MrQ handles that more smoothly.
One thing worth knowing before you log in on mobile for the first time: MrQ operates a closed-loop withdrawal policy. Whatever method you deposit with is the method you'll withdraw to. If you use Pay by Mobile to top up your account, that method cannot process withdrawals — you'll need to add Visa or Mastercard details separately before you can cash out. Plan for this before your first deposit, not after a win. Always remember that gambling is a form of entertainment, not a reliable income source — only deposit what you can afford to lose, and make use of MrQ's deposit limit tools if you want to stay in control.
| Method | Available in App | Biometric Auth | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visa Debit | Deposit & Withdraw | Via app login | Visa Direct withdrawal up to 4 hours |
| Mastercard Debit | Deposit & Withdraw | Via app login | 3–5 business days standard withdrawal |
| PayPal | Deposit & Withdraw | Via app login | Up to 6 hours; 60-second guarantee applies |
| Pay by Mobile (Boku) | Deposit only | N/A | Cannot withdraw — add a card or PayPal for cashouts |
| Instant Bank Transfer | Deposit & Withdraw | Via app login | 0–20 minutes; fastest withdrawal option at MrQ |
Author's tip from Nathaniel Brooks, Casino Content Researcher: "If you're primarily playing on mobile and you want push notifications for withdrawal confirmations, the Android APK is the better option over Chrome mobile. That single feature — knowing the moment your funds land — is worth the two-minute APK install process. iOS PWA users can check the payments page for the 60-second guarantee details as an alternative assurance."
The app gives you biometric login, push alerts on payout status, and the full game library in one place — iOS users without an App Store listing can add the site to their home screen as a web app instead. Once installed, the same slots and live casino tables are there, deposits run through the payment methods page, and offers carry over from the bonuses page.
