At PKSlotsPro, our mission is to help Pakistani players make informed decisions based on real testing, transparency, and risk awareness not copy-and-paste affiliate content. After reviewing dozens of casino and gambling apps accessible in Pakistan, one recurring usability issue I encountered is mobile number-based signup friction.
Some players seek ways to create accounts without entering a mobile number due to delivery issues with OTPs, privacy concerns, or past negative experiences. In this analysis, I explore what it means when an app allows signup without a mobile number, the risks involved, and how this relates to our broader auditing framework.
Why Signup Without Mobile Number Matters (and Why It Can Be Risky)
In Pakistan, the SMS OTP (One-Time Password) system used for mobile number verification often fails due to:
- OTP Reception Issues: Many users on Jazz, Zong, Ufone, and Telenor report delayed or undelivered codes.
- Network Filtering: Offshore gaming SMS messages are sometimes blocked or filtered by local carriers.
- Privacy Concerns: Users may not want to share their primary number with an unverified app.
These are genuine user experiences we’ve documented through user feedback and audit logs. However, the move toward alternative signup methods especially without proper safeguards can introduce significant risks.
What “Signup Without Mobile Number” Actually Means
Most apps integrate signup in one of the following ways:
1. Google Account Binding
During testing of several apps (including our failed audit of CT999 Game), I found that some platforms force users into “Sign in with Google” as the only functional registration method. While this bypasses SMS OTP issues, it raises questions:
- Does the app gain access to more user data than necessary?
- Is data stored securely on their servers?
- Does this increase exposure to phishing or account takeover if the app is compromised?
See our BK66 Game 7-Day Audit Findings.
2. Guest Login
Some apps offer a “guest mode” you can begin playing immediately with a temporary ID. This is common in apps that want to show features before asking for verification.
Risks:
- Guest accounts can be easily lost if not linked to a verified identity later.
- Winnings or account data may be unrecoverable if the app’s infrastructure fails.
3. Email-Only Signup
A few platforms allow signup using only email. This can be more secure if the email provider is secure and 2FA is enabled. But not all casino apps implement 2FA properly.
What I Observed in My Testing
During audits and usability checks, here’s what I personally experienced:
Account Creation Patterns
- Some apps allow Google binding only with no phone fallback.
- Others present “guest login” but later force mobile verification before withdrawals.
- Inconsistent signup logic can lead to locked wallets even after winning.
Security Implications
- Old or unverified apps may store tokens or credentials insecurely.
- Forced social login can expose email metadata (not just username) if not properly sandboxed.
These behaviors aren’t inherently malicious, but without transparent security disclosures (see our Responsible Gaming Principles), users are left guessing.
Examples of Apps That Support Non-Mobile Signup
Below are apps observed during testing that allow, in some form, signup without an immediate mobile number:
Important: Inclusion does not mean endorsement see individual audits for full risk assessments.
Y888 Game
This app offers Gmail binding on its login screen. During testing, I was able to bypass SMS OTP requirements using this method. However, later flows still prompted additional verification before withdrawals.
During testing, Y888 completed account creation without crashes, which placed it ahead of several newer apps that failed our stability checks.
89F Pro Game
89F Pro Game also provides email/Google signup options and is among the better-behaved apps in this group in terms of usability. Nevertheless, I observed that:
- Some wallet features still require a valid phone number
- Error messages around deposits can be confusing
Internal link suggestion: Link to X666 Game review (#)
During testing, 89F Game stood out because its Gmail binding worked consistently across devices. You can read our full 89F Pro Game review, where we document its verification flow, withdrawal reliability, and compliance results based on our 7-day audit framework.
Other Apps (Examples)
- Q5Bet Game — Guest login available but verification often required later.
- 777AD Game — Allows delayed mobile entry in some flows.
- X666 Game — Offers easy signup via multiple options, including email login, and passed our 7-day audit.
Assessment: When Non-Mobile Signup Is Safe vs Risky
| Signup Method | User Experience | Potential Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Guest Login | Easy initial access | Data loss, account lock |
| Google Binding | Bypasses OTP issues | Data access, phishing exposure |
| Email Only | Standard and recoverable | Depends on 2FA & password strength |
| No Verification | Highest risk | Wallet & identity compromise |
Responsible Use of Non-Mobile Signup Features
If an app offers alternative signup, consider the following before proceeding:
✔ Ensure the app has a verifiable audit
✔ Check whether withdrawals require additional verification
✔ Understand what data the app can access
✔ Only link accounts to email/social logins on trusted apps
✔ Do not use primary banking email addresses on unverified platforms
TL;DR (Quick Takeaways)
- “Sign up without mobile number” is a valid user need due to OTP issues in Pakistan.
- However, it is not inherently safe many apps that support this still fail basic compliance checks.
- Always consult audit results and responsible gaming guides before using alternative signup flows.

FAQs
Not necessarily. It depends on how the app handles credentials and security measures.
Often yes. Many apps allow non-mobile signup but require verification before payouts.
