Most people have the same concerns about gambling applications and that is the reason why most platforms don't develop mobile applications for their casinos they know it can be a security threat for their gamblers and the casino itself because mobile applications are way more vulnerable to attacks of all kinds than a web browser, mobile applications can even get infected using malware used by attackers.

Yes, android applications are easier to hack and also infiltrated by dangerous viruses, so it is very rare for crypto gambling sites to have android applications.
After all, most gamblers are comfortable and also like to access directly through a browser compared to using an application.
With a casino application, of course, spending an even bigger budget and the average casino chooses to minimize the budget, but the team can still work well when operating a gambling site.
Besides that, hackers can also make a replica of the application that resembles the original application so that people download it incorrectly. Those hackers know how to spread their app on many sites so that the people who see it will think it is the original app from the casino site and download and install it. That's when their phone will be controlled and hackers may take all the data. Many gamblers still visit the casino using the browser on their computer, laptop or phone because it's not too heavy unless your internet connection is having problems. Instead of spending more money to make the application, the casino should use those funds for promotion.
Of course there are many fake apps that are made to cheat and what's amazing is that they are actually almost as perfect as the real ones.
Like the case that happened in my country a few months ago where many people lost all their deposit money because they used a fake gambling site application but this casino operated using fiat.
If you really want to use an original application, it's better to download it from the official casino website, which will be used to avoid fake applications that are already rampant.
There are several advantages of accessing via a browser which of course we can get.
Similar to the proverbial "wolf in sheep's clothing," these phony apps try to trick users into thinking they are from legitimate businesses. Your recommendation that users stick to downloading software from trusted sources is spot on, but dont you believe it needs to be stricter than that?
The best way for us to avoid falling into these traps is to utilize secure devices and browsers. Firewalls, encrypted networks, anti-malware programs, and phishing detectors are all necessary to combat these malicious actors. As an added precaution, make sure to update your software regularly, use a strong, unique password, and avoid clicking on unfamiliar URLs.
After that, awareness-raising is the next step. Forgetting the old adage "If it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't true," we often overlook the most difficult path in favor of the quickest and easiest one
