Detailed Explanations
Camera Permission
Used only for identity verification (KYC). When you verify your account, you may need to photograph your ID document. The camera is not used for any other purpose. You can deny this permission if you don't plan to verify or prefer to upload existing photos.
Location Permission
Used to determine your region for regulatory compliance and localized content. Some regions have specific gambling regulations. You can deny this permission — the app will work but may not show region-specific offers.
Storage Permission
Required to store app data, cache images, and download updates. Without storage access, the app cannot save your preferences or work offline. This is a core permission.
Notification Permission
Allows push notifications for bet results, promotional offers, and account alerts. You can deny this if you don't want notifications — you'll just need to check results manually in the app.
Phone State Permission
Allows the app to pause when you receive a call and helps with device identification for security. Some devices may not request this. Can be denied on most devices.

- ❌ Device admin: Excessive control
- ❌ Install apps: Could install malware
