Why Download the Akbar Open App?
Most Pakistani users spend far more time on their phones than on a laptop or desktop. That is just how things are — whether you are commuting, sitting at home after dinner, or watching a match at a friend's place, your phone is always there. The Akbar Open app is built with that in mind. It puts the entire betting platform in your hands, optimised for smaller screens, slower connections, and the kind of quick, on-the-go usage that is the norm in Pakistan.
When you use Akbar Open through the app rather than a mobile browser, the experience is noticeably smoother. Pages load faster, the interface is cleaner, and features like biometric login and push notifications make the whole thing feel like it was built for how you actually use your phone — because it was. You also get instant alerts for match start times, bet settlements, and any platform promotions, so you never miss a market that matters to you.
The app is available for both Android and iOS. Android users download a direct APK file — no Play Store needed — and iOS users can access the app through the App Store. Both versions are completely free to download and give you access to the full range of features: live cricket betting, PSL and T20 markets, football, esports, deposits, withdrawals, VIP management, and full account control. Nothing is locked behind a desktop-only version.
Choose Your Platform
Akbar Open is available on both major mobile platforms. Pick the one that matches your device and follow the guide below to get set up.
Android
Download the Akbar Open APK directly from this page. No Play Store required. Works on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and above, which covers the vast majority of Android phones currently in use across Pakistan. The APK is approximately 35 MB — a quick download even on a standard mobile data connection.
iOS (iPhone & iPad)
iPhone and iPad users can download the Akbar Open app through the App Store. The iOS version requires iOS 13.0 or higher, which covers iPhone 6s and all newer models. It is around 40 MB and supports all the same features as the Android version, including Face ID login and Apple Pay for deposits.
How to Install the Akbar Open APK on Android
Installing an APK file is slightly different from installing an app through the Play Store, but it is straightforward. Here is exactly what to do, step by step:
Download the APK File
Tap the "Download Android APK" button on this page. The APK file will begin downloading to your phone. You will see a download notification in your notification bar. Wait for it to complete before proceeding — it usually takes under a minute on a decent connection.
Enable Installation from Unknown Sources
Before you can install an APK that did not come from the Play Store, you need to allow your phone to install from other sources. Go to Settings → Security (on older Android) or Settings → Apps → Special App Access → Install Unknown Apps (on Android 8 and above). Find your browser or file manager in the list and enable "Allow from this source". The exact menu path varies slightly by phone brand — Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo all have slightly different layouts, but the option is always somewhere in Security or App settings.
Open the Downloaded APK
Go to your Downloads folder and tap the Akbar Open APK file. Alternatively, tap the download notification directly and it will prompt you to install. A standard Android install screen will appear showing you the app name and basic permissions.
Tap Install and Wait
Tap "Install" and let Android do its thing. Installation usually completes in about 10–15 seconds. Once done, you will see an "App installed" confirmation with options to open the app or go back to the home screen.
Open the App and Log In or Register
Tap "Open" or find the Akbar Open icon on your home screen. Log in with your existing account credentials, or tap through to register a new account if you are new to the platform. The whole setup takes under two minutes and then you are ready to bet.
How to Install the Akbar Open App on iPhone (iOS)
iOS installation is simpler than Android since it goes through the App Store directly. Here is the process:
Tap the iOS Download Button
Tap the "Download iOS App" button on this page. You will be taken to the Akbar Open listing in the App Store. Make sure you are logged into your Apple ID before proceeding.
Tap "Get" in the App Store
On the App Store listing, tap the "Get" button. If prompted, authenticate with your Apple ID password, Face ID, or Touch ID. The app will begin downloading automatically.
Wait for the Installation to Complete
The app is around 40 MB so it downloads quickly on Wi-Fi or a 4G connection. Once installed, the Akbar Open icon will appear on your home screen or App Library.
Open and Set Up
Tap the icon to launch the app. Log in with your account details or register if you are new. You can enable Face ID login from within the app settings for faster access in the future.
What You Get Inside the Akbar Open App
The app is not a stripped-down mobile version — it is the full platform, built for touch screens. Every feature available on the desktop site is accessible from the app, often with a cleaner interface that makes it faster to use on the go.
Live Cricket & PSL Betting
Bet on live cricket matches including Pakistan Super League, T20 internationals, ODIs and Test matches. Markets update in real time so you can place bets as the match unfolds.
Push Notifications

Deposits via JazzCash & Easypaisa
Fund your account in PKR directly from the app using JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast or bank transfer. The deposit screen is optimised for mobile — no zooming or horizontal scrolling needed.
Fast Withdrawals in PKR
Request a withdrawal from the app just as easily as from the website. All payout channels including JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast and bank transfer are fully accessible within the app.
Biometric Login
Use fingerprint or Face ID to log in instantly without typing your password every time. Faster, more secure, and much more convenient when you want to check a live score quickly.
VIP Dashboard Access
Check your VIP tier, track your progress to the next level, and view exclusive member promotions all from within the app. VIP perks like priority withdrawals are managed from here too.
Football & Esports
Beyond cricket, the app covers football leagues and esports markets. Browse all available sports and events from the main betting menu — the same markets as on the full website.

Built for How Pakistani Users Actually Bet
Pakistan has one of the most engaged mobile-first user bases anywhere in the world. Data usage has increased massively over the last few years, and smartphone penetration continues to grow — especially among the 18–35 age group that makes up the core of online sports betting. Akbar Open was designed from the ground up with this in mind. Every screen, every menu, every tap interaction has been thought through for mobile use first.
Optimised for Pakistani Network Conditions
Network reliability in Pakistan can be inconsistent — strong 4G in major cities, slower connections in smaller towns and rural areas, and occasional drops during peak hours. The Akbar Open app handles this gracefully. It is lightweight, the assets are compressed, and the app is built to work on 3G connections without becoming frustratingly slow. Live betting markets refresh efficiently so you are not left staring at outdated odds when a wicket falls or a goal goes in.
PSL Season and Beyond
If you are a cricket fan in Pakistan — and the majority of sports bettors in the country are — the app gives you the best possible experience during PSL season and international cricket series. You can browse all available match markets before the toss, switch to live betting once play starts, and monitor your open bets in real time alongside the scorecards. The notification system means you do not have to keep the app open to stay informed. A quick ping on your lock screen tells you when your bet has settled or when a new market has opened.
Payments That Make Sense in Pakistan
One of the most practical advantages of the Akbar Open app is how it handles payments. JazzCash and Easypaisa are integrated seamlessly — you enter your registered mobile number, confirm the amount, and the transaction goes through without jumping to an external browser or app. Raast transfers to local bank accounts work the same way. All of this happens in PKR, so there are no conversion steps and no unpleasant surprises when your balance does not match what you expected.
App Updates and What to Expect
The Akbar Open app is updated regularly. Android users will see a prompt inside the app when a new version is available — you can update directly without having to revisit this download page. iOS users receive updates through the standard App Store update mechanism. Updates typically include performance improvements, new betting markets, and UI refinements based on user feedback. Keeping the app updated ensures you always have access to the latest features and any security patches that have been applied.
Using the App Responsibly
Having the Akbar Open app on your phone makes betting convenient — which is great when you are using it for entertainment within a budget you are comfortable with. It also means betting is always just a tap away, so it is worth being intentional about how you use it.
Set a clear budget before you start, decide how much time you want to spend on the platform, and use the app's account tools to track your activity. The platform is for adults aged 18 and over. For self-exclusion options, deposit limits and further guidance, visit the Responsible Gaming page.
