What the 8hours App Delivers Daily

Open the app and you land straight in the lobby — live tables streaming Turbo Blackjack and Bingo sit alongside slot rooms carrying Aviator, Gates of Olympus, and Fishing God. Push notifications let you know when a round you follow goes live. Quick deposit drops a UPI or Paytm sheet on the screen in two taps, and fingerprint login skips the password

step every time you return. The betslip travels with you so you can check Football Strike markets on the go without switching tabs.

Install the App in 3 Steps

Android and iOS installs follow slightly different paths, but both take under three minutes from start to first login. Follow the steps below for your device — no third-party stores or sideloading tools are involved on iOS.

Download the file — Android: tap the APK link on this page to download the 8hours APK directly to your device. iOS: follow the App Store link and tap Get.
Allow the install — Android only: open Settings, go to Security or Apps, and enable Install from unknown sources for your browser or file manager. Run the APK once that is on.
Open and sign in — Launch the app, enter your account credentials or open a new account, then set up biometric login from the Security section in your profile.
Confirm your payment method — Head to the Wallet tab and link UPI, Paytm, or PhonePe so your first deposit is ready without re-entering details mid-session.

DEVICE REQUIREMENTS

Android, iOS and Minimum Specs

The app is designed to run on mid-range devices sold in India over the last four years. Check your device against the requirements below before downloading.

Android version

Android 8.0 (Oreo) or later. Devices running Android 10 and above get the smoothest live-stream performance for tables like Turbo Blackjack.

iOS version

iOS 13.0 or later. iPhone 8 and newer meet this requirement. The app is optimised for iPhone 12 and later for highest frame rates.

RAM

Minimum 2 GB RAM. We recommend 3 GB or more if you plan to run live table streams alongside the betslip for Football Strike markets.

Storage

The APK or IPA installs at around 30 MB. Allow an additional 50 MB for cached lobby assets and game thumbnails stored during your first session.

Supported regions

Available to download and use where local law permits. Access and eligibility depend on your location and applicable local regulations.

APP SECURITY SIGNALS

How We Keep Your App and Account Secure

Security is built into the app at the code level, not added as an afterthought. The points below describe concrete measures we apply to the build and your account — checkable things…

Code-signed builds

Every Android APK and iOS build is code-signed with a certificate tied to the 8hours developer account. Your device checks this signature automatically and will block any modified or tampered version of the file.

No third-party stores

We distribute the Android APK only from this site and the iOS app only from the App Store. There is no 8hours app on unofficial marketplaces — anything there is not from us and should not be installed.

Account recovery flow

If you lose your device, the account recovery flow verifies your identity via email or SMS before a new session is allowed. Biometric data is stored on-device only and never transmitted to our servers.

Encrypted sessions

All traffic between the app and our servers runs over TLS. Your login tokens, wallet balance, and transaction data travel encrypted — no plain-text exposure on public Wi-Fi or mobile data.

Session timeout control

The app locks after a period of inactivity you set in Security settings. Re-entry requires biometric or password confirmation, protecting your account if you leave your phone unattended.

Wallet verification step

Before any withdrawal processes, the app confirms the request with a one-time PIN sent to your registered number. This step prevents any unauthorised withdrawal even if someone has your device.

APP VS BROWSER

App Experience Against the Mobile Browser

The mobile browser version of 8hours works, but the app is built differently. These six points show where the experience diverges so you can decide what suits your sessions.

Login speed

The app opens your session with a biometric check in under two seconds. The mobile browser requires you to enter your email and password each time unless you save credentials, adding several steps.

Push notifications

App installs get native push alerts for live table openings and slot feature rounds. The browser cannot send notifications unless you have the site pinned and the tab open, which drains battery.

Offline lobby preview

The app caches lobby data so you can browse games without a live connection. The browser loads nothing without network access, showing a blank page or an error instead of your usual lobby.

Deposit sheet access

In the app, a two-tap sheet brings up UPI, Paytm, and PhonePe without leaving the game. The browser requires navigating to the Cashier page, adding two or three extra page loads mid-session.

Live stream quality

The app uses a native video player optimised for mobile data, which holds stream quality longer on a weak 4G signal. Browser-based streams drop to lower resolution more quickly under the same conditions.

Home screen access

The app icon sits on your home screen for instant entry. The browser shortcut can be added manually but disappears if browser data is cleared, meaning you have to re-navigate to the site each time.

Frequently Asked Questions About the App

Here are the questions we get most often about downloading, installing, and using the 8hours app on Android and iOS devices in India.

Download it directly from the link on this page. We do not publish the APK on third-party stores. Using the direct link means you get the current, code-signed build with no modifications.

Android blocks APKs from outside the Play Store by default. Go to Settings, then Security or Apps, find your browser or file manager, and enable Install from unknown sources. The block lifts immediately after that.

Yes, the iOS version is distributed through the App Store only. Search for 8hours or follow the App Store link on this page. No additional steps like enabling unknown sources are required on iPhone.

After your first login, go to Account, then Security, and turn on Biometric login. The app will prompt you to verify once with your fingerprint or Face ID, and subsequent launches will use that method automatically.

Yes. Open the Wallet tab, tap Deposit, and the sheet shows UPI, Paytm, and PhonePe. Select one, enter the amount, and your UPI or Paytm app opens to confirm. The wallet usually updates before the next round.

Force-close the app, check your data connection, and relaunch. Your session and any open bets are saved server-side. If the issue repeats, contact us via in-app chat with your device model and Android or iOS version.

Access depends on local law and is available where local law permits. Check the eligibility notice in the app at first launch to confirm your location is supported before completing your account setup.
