Updating the App
Android: Because the APK comes from the Mr James site rather than Google Play, there is no automatic update. A notification banner appears inside the app when a new version is available. Tap it to download the latest APK and install over the existing version - you do not need to uninstall first and your account data is preserved.
iOS: Updates come through the App Store in the standard way. Enable automatic updates in your iOS settings to stay current without manual action.
Security and Responsible Gambling
The app applies the same security stack as the desktop platform: 256-bit SSL on all data paths, PCI-DSS compliant payment processing and optional two-factor authentication. Sessions can be monitored and terminated remotely from account settings.
Mr James is fully integrated with GamStop - the UK national self-exclusion scheme. If you are registered with GamStop, access is automatically blocked across all UKGC-licensed sites including Mr James. Within the app you can set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits and session time reminders. Raising a limit requires a mandatory cooling-off period under UKGC rules. GamCare and BeGambleAware links are accessible from the responsible gambling section of the menu.
