How the RichRoyal Casino lobby behaves on a phone: browser play, a home-screen shortcut and what a live stream costs in data. The page also covers the differences that matter once stakes are large.
There is no native application for iOS or Android. The lobby is a responsive website, opened in a mobile browser and played there.
That has one clear benefit and one clear cost. Nothing occupies storage and nothing needs updating, but there is also no store review page and no app permissions screen to read.
| Operating system | Browser | Minimum screen | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| iOS 13+ | Safari, Chrome | 4.7 inches | Supported |
| Android 8+ | Chrome, Firefox | 4.5 inches | Supported |
| Windows 10+ | Any modern browser | — | Supported |
On an iPhone or iPad, open the site in Safari, tap the share icon, scroll down to Add to Home Screen and confirm the name.
On Android, open the site in Chrome, tap the three-dot menu and choose Install app or Add to Home screen, depending on the version installed.
Either route creates a launcher icon that opens without browser controls. The shortcut loads the live site each time, so it can never fall out of date.
| Feature | Desktop | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| Full game list | Yes | Almost all titles |
| Live tables | Yes | Yes, with a continuous video stream |
| Several tables side by side | Practical | Not practical |
| Deposits and withdrawals | Yes | Yes |
| Bonus terms shown in full | On screen | Usually behind a tap |
| Verification uploads | Yes | Yes, using the camera |
The gap that matters is the last but one. Terms are collapsed on a small screen, so a stake ceiling or an expiry date is one tap further away than on a desktop.
Slots are light. Only the outcome of each spin crosses the network, so a long session costs very little on a metered connection.
Live tables are the opposite. A dealer stream runs continuously, and an hour at a table uses roughly what an hour of standard-definition video uses.
Where a table offers a quality setting, lowering it cuts the data cost without changing the game. On mobile data, that setting is the one worth finding first.
Stake selection deserves attention on a phone. The control sits close to the spin button and is sized for a thumb, and a misfire at a high stake costs more than a misfire at a low one.
Confirm the amount shown on screen at the start of every session. Some tables reset to a default and others remember the last value used, and the two behaviours are not signposted.
A phone also makes it easier to play in short bursts through the day. Turnover accumulates the same way whichever device places it, so a rank can be climbed without a session ever feeling long.
Deposit limits, loss limits and session reminders are set in the same account area on mobile as on desktop. Setting them on the phone is the more useful of the two, because the phone is where the unplanned session happens.
No. Play runs in the browser, with an optional home-screen shortcut that behaves like an app without installing anything.
Yes. Claiming, wagering and the NZ$ 9 stake ceiling are identical, because the rules sit on the operator's servers rather than in the device.
Yes. Documents can be photographed and uploaded in the account area, which is usually quicker than scanning them on a desktop.
The connection is encrypted either way, so the risk sits with the device. Use a screen lock, and avoid public wireless networks for deposits and withdrawals.
Yes. Turnover is counted per account rather than per device, so nothing is gained or lost by switching between a phone and a computer.
