Navigate to the Chumba Casino site on your Android device.
Find the app download section and save the Chumba Lite APK to your device.
Settings → Security → Install from Unknown Sources (Android 7) or Allow from this source (Android 8+).
Open the APK, tap Install, then open Chumba Lite and log in with your existing credentials.
No iOS app exists. The Safari browser experience with a home screen shortcut is the practical equivalent — here's how to set it up in 60 seconds.
Must be Safari — Chrome and Firefox on iOS don't support Add to Home Screen in the same way.
Load the site fully in the address bar.
Bottom of Safari — box with upward arrow.
Scroll the share sheet, tap Add to Home Screen, confirm.
Standalone window — no browser chrome visible.
Our assessment: the iOS browser experience is fully functional. The absence of a native app is a limitation, but the shortcut method closes the gap considerably for everyday use.
