BetRivers is a well-known brand that entered the Pennsylvania gambling market in 2020 as an online partner of the Rivers Casino Philadelphia. To be honest, it doesn’t have the most generous welcome bonus — new players get a deposit match up to $250, while the wagering requirements are 1x only. However, BetRivers Pennsylvania attracts players with other advantages, one of them being its cool mobile apps available both for iOS and Android users.
BetRivers apps look pretty much the same as the casino website and offer all the same games and features. You’ll be able to play live dealer games, slots, table games, and make use of the famous BetRivers iRush rewards program. If you’re also a sports betting fan, you’ll be glad to know the BetRivers app combines regular casino games with sports betting opportunities, so you won’t need to download a separate app for that.
BetRivers iOS app got 4.3 stars from players with Apple devices and 3.3 stars from Android users, and the reviews are generally good. The app also won’t take up much space on your phone — 63 MB for iOS and 27 MB for Android devices.

Not only can you get a deposit match up to $1,000, but also an additional $25 as a no-deposit bonus after registration.
The bonus is also available in the BetMGM apps that you can download both to iOS and Android devices. They also have most of the games from the BetMGM desktop casino game list, so you’ll have more than 1,300 mobile-optimized titles to choose from.
BetMGM Android app got 4.4 stars from players in the Google Play store, which is a pretty good result as Android users are usually rather strict when it comes to casino apps. The iOS app got the same — 4.4 stars out of 5, which makes it one of the best-rated mobile casino apps in Pennsylvania.

Just like it’s worth it to download DraftKings Android or iOS casino app to play all your favorite gambling games on the go. The iOS app has been rated 4.7 stars and will take up 199 MB of free space on your device. The Android app is much lighter, 39.6 MB only, and has a rating of 4.4 stars on the Google Play store.

Unibet was one of the first casinos to enter Pennsylvania after the state legalized online betting in 2019. It is operating under the Mohegan Sun Pocono license and has a lot of loyal players. One of the things that attract gamblers to Unibet casino is its $10 no-deposit bonus available upon registration. Besides, new players can get a 100% deposit match up to $500 with 10x wagering requirements.
Just like other great online casinos in PA, Unibet has a convenient mobile app you can download to Android and iOS devices for free. The app design more or less recreates the full-scale Unibet casino website, and most of the games and features are available in the mobile version as well. Thus, you’ll be able to play more than 600 games from NetEnt, IGT, and other popular providers.
The Unibet casino app will suit those who never have free space on their phones, as it only takes 16 MB on Android and 42 MB on iOS devices. App Store reviews add up to 4.0 stars out of 5 while Google Play users were a bit less generous with 3.3 stars our of 5 for the Unibet PA casino app.
How We Rate Online Casino Apps
In application stores, the rating of the app depends on the users’ reviews. Here, we use our own strict set of criteria to evaluate every app and make our decision — is it worth recommending to our users? We want to make sure you are only getting the best gambling experience, and these are the factors we consider when rating a PA casino app.
Bonuses & Promos
Some casino apps offer exclusive mobile bonuses, but in most cases, there is the same welcome bonus as in the casino’s desktop counterpart. We take a look at the bonus Terms & Conditions and make sure it’s lucrative, i.e., wagering requirements are not too high, the bonus is valid for enough time for you to meet them, and so on. But not by welcome bonus alone — we also scroll through the whole Promotions page and see what else a casino has to offer, whether it’s a refer-a-friend or a no-deposit bonus.
Games Variety
For many players, it’s vital to have a wide choice of games in one casino in order not to get bored and not to have to switch between apps all the time. So we dive into the casino’s game list and check how many titles we can count and what are the providers. If there are enough games of all kinds (slots, table games, live dealer options, lotteries, and bingo) and they are made by some of the top providers, the casino gets a point from us.
Customer Support
The betting process becomes much more pleasant if you know there is someone to help you and answer your questions if something goes wrong. Whether you can’t get a grasp of the bonus terms or experience deposit issues, it’s great if there is a friendly and responsive customer support agent. And it’s even greater if you can reach them via a convenient online chat rather than call and wait on the line for hours. That’s why the quality of customer support is another factor we pay close attention to.
Apps Rating
Of course, we can’t ignore what other players say about the app so we always check the app’s rating in the App Store/Google Play store. We believe it can’t be the only decisive factor as some players tend to leave bad reviews each time they lose money in the mobile casino, and, you know, you can’t win some until you lose some. But nevertheless, reviews can be very helpful to learn about the issues you can’t notice during primary testing.
Banking Options
This factor is the last on the list, but in fact, it’s one of the most important things to check in the casino app before you pick it for your bets. A casino should have enough deposit and withdrawal methods to choose from, and the potential withdrawal time should be reasonable. Of course, delays happen and you can’t really expect an instant withdrawal, but no one wants to wait for their money for a month. Please note that most of the casinos will only allow you to cash out the money using the same method you used for a deposit.
Geolocation Software
Many people try to be careful about their online presence and don’t like sharing their geolocation with every app that tries to request it, but here is the thing — you can’t use a PA mobile casino app with your geolocation turned off. It’s not just about Pennsylvania, you won’t be able to access any legal online casino in the US without allowing it to track your location.
And it’s not because mobile casino apps want to spy on you and share your data — as long as you are betting in the PGCB-licensed casino, you can be sure your personal data is safe. The reason is, casino apps and online casinos in general are legally required to track your geolocation as they need to make sure you are actually located in the state where online gambling is legal and where this specific casino is licensed. The geolocation software used by casino apps is rather advanced, so trying to trick it with a VPN service might be a waste of time.
If you’re located in Pennsylvania where casino apps are 100% legal, you shouldn’t have any problem accessing one of the mobile casinos licensed in the state. If there are access issues, check your settings to make sure the app has permission to track your location. Some casinos will also want you to download a special geolocation app or plugin and run it every time you want to play some gambling games.
