Why the download path matters
Real-money fantasy apps attract copies. A mirror page that looks like Fantoss but ships a tampered APK is a real risk. This page lists every official Fantoss download route, the file signatures to check and the customer-care channel to verify before you install. Five minutes of reading saves a potential recovery ticket later.
The three official Fantoss download routes
Fantoss is available from three official sources: (1) the Google Play Store on Android, (2) the Apple App Store on iOS, and (3) the verified APK mirror on this site for users on restricted networks. All three routes are signed by the same developer key.
Avoid third-party stores that list a 'Fantoss Pro' or 'Fantoss Cricket Bonus' app — these are not us. If the listing does not show our verified developer name, do not install it.
Android — Google Play install
On Android, open the Play Store, search 'Fantoss' and confirm the developer name before tapping Install. The Play listing is the safest route because Google verifies the APK signature automatically.
If your phone blocks the install with a 'package conflict' error, the most likely cause is a previous sideload of a non-verified APK. Uninstall the previous build first, restart the phone, then install from the Play Store.
Android — verified APK mirror
For users on restricted networks, the Fantoss APK mirror is published at a stable path with the file size and version number listed. The mirror is hosted on this site and signed with the same key as the Play Store build.
The mirror is for advanced users who know how to enable 'Install unknown apps' for the browser. If you are not sure, use the Play Store instead.
iOS — App Store install
On iOS, open the App Store, search 'Fantoss' and confirm the developer name before tapping Get. Face ID or Touch ID completes the install.
iOS does not allow sideloaded APK files. The mirror page on this site lists the verified App Store link — never install Fantoss from a third-party iOS store.
Confirming the file is genuine
Every Fantoss APK carries a SHA-256 signature in the help section. After download, run a checksum utility against the file and compare against the published hash. A mismatched hash is the clearest signal of a tampered mirror.
If the checksum matches but the app still asks for unusual permissions, raise a customer-care ticket from inside the app before signing in.
What to do if your phone blocks the install
The two most common blocks are 'unknown sources disabled' and 'package conflict'. For the first, enable 'Install unknown apps' for the browser you used to download. For the second, uninstall the previous Fantoss build (or its copy) and restart.
If the install still fails, raise a customer-care ticket from the Fantoss help page on this site. The desk replies within 24 hours and can verify the file before you try again.
