paidAffiliate disclosure. The partner link in the masthead and in the bands beside the copy on this page is a sponsored link to a partner operator, and this site may be paid if you open an account through it, at no extra cost to you. It carries rel="sponsored noopener" and opens in a new tab. That matters on this desk in particular: the subject is what a device hands to an app and what a reader can refuse, and this site’s own revenue depends on a reader opening an account. No operator and no app is named, rated or recommended anywhere on this site.
The Handset / The permission sheet
Six prompts, six noes
What it asks for
A permission is a question the device asks once. Below is the whole sheet for the sample app: what each prompt reads, when it appears, and where the same step goes if the answer is no.
App stub
- Prompts on the sheet
- 6, and each can be refused
- Needed to place a bet
- 0
- Needed to withdraw
- 0
- Fallbacks that already exist
- 5 of the 6
- Needed to remove later
- none - each can be revoked
the promptA question the device asks once, and an answer you can change at any time
the tokenWhat keeps a phone signed in, and how long it lives without an open
the buildA numbered version of the app, and the only part of the product an update can change
Direct answerThe sheet has six prompts: notifications, the camera, photos and files, coarse location, an advertising identifier, and storage. Every one can be refused. Five of the six move the same step to the website or to an email, and the sixth needs no replacement at all - and not one of them is required to place a bet, deposit or withdraw.

The sheet, read as a list of noes
prompt 01Read the sheet as a list of noes
The useful reading is not what each prompt gives the app, but what happens when the answer is no. On this
sample every no has a route: a message becomes an email, a document check moves to the browser, a country
check moves to login on the website, and a measurement identifier falls back to first-party events. The device
asks; the product does not depend on the answer.
prompt 02Consent is not a contract
A permission is a setting, not a term. It can be changed in the phone’s settings at any time without
renegotiating anything, and a refusal has no effect on the account. That is the practical difference between a
prompt and a clause, and it is why this desk treats the sheet as the reader’s most useful page.
prompt 03What is not on the sheet
Contacts, messages, call history and other apps’ data never appear on this app’s sheet. If a
prompt like that appears on any phone, the sheet has changed, and the phone’s own permission list - not
the app’s description - is the authority on what is granted. The next page shows how to read it.
Where this leads
Every figure on this page is derived from the sample app on the overview: 250,000 store views a month, 62,500 installs, 45,000 first opens, 5,400 registrations and 1,134 first deposits.

What this desk does not do
It names no operator, it rates no app, and it recommends no store listing. The partner link beside this text is a disclosed sponsored link and the reason is stated on every page rather than in a footer.
The sheet, priced in inconvenience
6 prompts x 1 decision each = 6 decisions, once
decisions that are ever asked again = 0 (unless the phone is reset)
steps moved elsewhere on a "no" = 5
steps with no replacement needed = 1 (storage)
steps lost entirely on a "no" = 0
Refusing all six costs the reader five different routes to the same steps, and nothing else.
6 prompts all refusable nothing no bet needs one
