20 of 20 torn down 232 cashouts timed Aug 9, 2026
20 apps installed, used and torn down. Install size, cold start, crashes across 800 logged sessions, and how many taps it takes to get your money out.
Some links on this page pay Loon Picks a commission if you open an account. It changes nothing about the order, which is computed from the numbers printed on the cards below.
Payout is a median across 10 cashouts put on the clock for this operator, and it stands on its own rather than as a score against the window the operator publishes. Cold start and crashes come off 40 logged sessions on the same two handsets.
Nothing left at that combination. Widen the install size or drop a filter.
A desktop-only operator does not get a rank here, however good the site is. This is a phone publication, and a mobile browser page saved to a home screen is not an app.
That rules out a few operators with strong products and long histories. It is a deliberate cost. A reader arriving on a phone needs to know whether the thing installs, whether it survives an update, and how quickly it lets go of a balance.
Progressive web apps are covered separately and labelled clearly. Some of them are excellent. They are still not the same as a native build with push notifications, Face ID or fingerprint login, and a public review history anyone can read.
How we score apps →Nine Android builds and seven iOS builds shipped across the apps tracked here in the last seven days. Most of that was housekeeping. Four updates touched something a player actually taps, and those are the ones worth knowing about.
Two apps cut a step out of withdrawal this month. One dropped from five taps to three by remembering the last payout method instead of asking for it again. Another set Interac as the default and deleted a confirmation screen nobody read.
One app got heavier. The Android package moved from 44MB to 71MB in a single release, almost all of it a new live dealer bundle. On a 64GB phone already stuffed with photos, a 27MB jump is a decision, not a detail.
Store ratings lag. Review data across player accounts usually takes four or five days to catch up with a bad build, so a 4.9 average on a version that shipped Tuesday means close to nothing. The rating that holds up is the one measured two weeks after a release lands.
The running list sits at the ranked app list. The daily feed is at picks.
Rating, install size, taps to withdraw. Every page here leads with those three, before the welcome offer, before the brand, before a game count that nobody has ever counted.
Store rating is the crowd talking. Install size is the price of trying the product at all. Taps to withdraw is the most honest of the three, because it shows how hard an operator works to keep a balance sitting where it is.
A 38MB app that pays out in three taps is a better phone product than a 210MB app with an eight tap withdrawal and a stadium sponsorship. Brand size does not survive contact with a bad checkout. That position decides the order at the ranked list, and nothing else does.
Figures come from public sources: store listings for size and rating, the operator's published terms for payout windows and limits, and patterns reported across player accounts for anything a store page cannot show.
Sites is the ranked list. It moves when a number moves, not on a monthly refresh schedule.
Apps is the teardown section: package size on both platforms, crash behaviour after an update, login friction, biometric support, and the exact tap count from home screen to a submitted withdrawal. A worked example lives at this teardown.
Picks is the daily feed. Three cards, weekdays, 9am ET.
How we rate covers the method and the money, including how this site is paid. Masthead names the two people responsible for every line of it.
Loon Picks may be paid when a reader opens an account through a link on this site. That payment changes nothing about the order of the list or a single word of a teardown, and the full explanation sits at how we rate.

If it stops being fun, help is free and confidential. ConnexOntario answers 24 hours a day at 1-866-531-2600. Every app listed here carries deposit limits, session limits and self exclusion; those controls are usually two or three taps deep in the account menu, and they take about a minute to set.
