The When PKR app brings every feature of the platform straight to your Android or iOS device. Bet on cricket, follow PSL live odds, spin slots, play fish games, deposit in PKR, and manage your account — all from one smooth, fast, and mobile-optimised app built for Pakistani players.
Most online gaming platforms in Pakistan are designed with desktop browsers in mind first and mobile as an afterthought. The result is that Pakistani players — most of whom primarily use their phones for everything — end up dealing with slow loading times, interface elements that are too small to tap accurately, and deposit flows that break halfway through because the page was not optimised for a mobile network connection. When PKR took a completely different approach.
The When PKR app was built from the ground up for mobile-first use. The entire interface — from the sports betting markets and live odds to the slots lobby, fish games, and live casino tables — is designed to work smoothly on the screen sizes and connection conditions that Pakistani players actually deal with day to day. Whether you are on a fast Wi-Fi connection at home or on a 4G connection during a lunch break, the app loads quickly and stays responsive throughout.
Cricket is the heartbeat of sports betting in Pakistan, and the When PKR app treats it that way. When a PSL match is live, the app gives you a dedicated match screen with real-time odds updates, ball-by-ball statistics, and a one-tap bet placement flow. You do not need to navigate through multiple menus to find the market you want — the app surfaces the most important matches and markets right on the home screen so you can act fast when the moment matters. T20 internationals, bilateral series, and domestic cricket tournaments are all covered with the same depth of markets.
Beyond cricket, the app covers Football — including international fixtures that Pakistani fans follow closely — as well as Esports titles that have grown a huge following in Pakistan over the past few years. Slots and fish games run natively in the app with no browser redirect needed, which means faster load times and a more polished gameplay experience compared to opening a mobile browser and navigating to the site.
Deposits and withdrawals in the app are handled through the same payment infrastructure that powers the full website — JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer, and cards all work exactly the same way. The deposit flow in the app is actually faster than on desktop because it is optimised for mobile wallet apps: after you tap to deposit with JazzCash, the app can hand off directly to your JazzCash app to complete the payment, then return you to When PKR with your updated balance ready to go.
The When PKR app is not a stripped-down version of the website. Every feature available on desktop is available in the app — in many cases the mobile experience is actually cleaner and faster because the interface was rethought for touch navigation.
Live and pre-match markets for Cricket, Football, and Esports. PSL odds update ball-by-ball during live matches directly in the app.
Hundreds of slot titles load natively — no browser redirect. Filter by provider, jackpot, or new releases directly from the app home screen.
The fish shooting games that players love run with smooth touch controls optimised for phone screens. Aim and fire exactly where you tap — no lag.
Real dealers, live-streamed tables, and full chat functionality — all inside the app. Baccarat, roulette, and card games run without buffering on a standard 4G connection.
JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer, and cards — all accessible from the app's wallet section. Instant processing, zero platform fees, PKR only.
Track your VIP tier, points balance, and available rewards in real time. Claim bonuses and see exactly how far you are from the next VIP level without opening a browser.
Opt in to match start alerts, live score updates, deposit confirmations, and promotion announcements. All notifications are customisable — turn on only what you want.
Use your fingerprint or Face ID to log in instantly. No typing passwords every session — secure and fast, particularly useful when you need to place a bet before a match starts.
Getting the When PKR app running on your phone takes under three minutes whether you are on Android or iPhone. Here is the exact process for each platform.
Because the When PKR APK is downloaded directly rather than from the Play Store, you need to enable installation from unknown sources. Go to Settings → Security (or Apps, depending on your Android version) and toggle on "Install Unknown Apps" for your browser or file manager.
Open the When PKR website in your phone's browser. Log into your account, then navigate to the App page. You will see the Android download button prominently displayed. Tap it to begin the APK download.
Once the download completes, open your notifications panel and tap the downloaded file — or navigate to it via your file manager. Tap Install when prompted. The installation takes less than thirty seconds.
Find the When PKR icon on your home screen or app drawer, tap to open, and log in with your existing account credentials. Set up biometric login if prompted — it makes future sessions much faster.
On your iPhone, open Safari and navigate to whenpkr.org. Log into your account and head to the App page. iOS installation works through Safari's Add to Home Screen feature for a native-feeling experience.
At the bottom of the Safari browser, tap the share icon — the square with an arrow pointing upward. This opens the iOS share sheet with all available options.
Scroll through the share sheet options until you see "Add to Home Screen". Tap it, confirm the name (When PKR), and tap Add in the top right corner. The When PKR icon will appear on your iPhone home screen instantly.
Tap the When PKR icon on your home screen. It opens in full-screen mode without any browser navigation bars, giving you a clean app-like experience. Log in, enable Face ID or Touch ID if prompted, and you are ready to play.

Pakistan is a cricket-first country and the When PKR app is a cricket-first product. The sports betting section of the app is structured so that active cricket fixtures — whether it is a PSL league match, a T20 international, or a domestic cup game — are always front and centre the moment you open it.
Live betting is where the app really separates itself from the browser experience. During a live T20 match, odds shift after every single delivery. On a desktop browser, you need to keep refreshing or rely on a slow auto-refresh. In the When PKR app, odds update in real time without any manual intervention — you see the market move as the over progresses and you can tap to place a bet at the exact moment you want.
The bet slip in the app is designed for speed. Tap a market, the selection appears in your slip at the bottom of the screen, type the stake in PKR, and confirm with a single tap. You do not need to scroll away from the match screen — the slip slides in over the odds view and closes again once your bet is confirmed. For in-play betting during a tight PSL chase, these few saved seconds can genuinely make a difference.
Match notifications make the app even more useful for cricket fans. Enable alerts for specific tournaments or teams and the app will notify you when a match is about to start, when a wicket falls during a live chase, or when odds shift sharply on a particular market. You can watch or follow a match elsewhere and switch back to When PKR the instant an opportunity appears — the app keeps you connected to the action without needing to keep it open the whole time.
The convenience of having When PKR on your home screen means it is easier than ever to open the app and place a bet or spin a slot. That convenience is a positive thing when you are using it within a budget you have decided in advance. Set deposit limits directly from the app's account settings — daily, weekly, or monthly caps that stop you from going over what you planned. You can also set session time reminders that alert you after you have been in the app for a set period. Gaming should be entertaining, not stressful. If you ever feel like your habits are getting out of hand, visit the Responsible Gaming page for self-exclusion options and additional resources. The When PKR app is for adults aged 18 and over only.
Cricket betting, PSL live odds, slots, fish games, live casino, and instant PKR deposits — all in one app built for Pakistani players. Create your free account in under two minutes and have the app installed before your next match starts.
