Affiliate 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 / Removing it
The app and the account are not the same thing

When you remove it

Uninstalling is the only action on this desk that a reader is likely to take, and it is the one most often misunderstood: it removes a container and leaves the account completely intact.

Direct answerDeleting the app removes the box: 102.0 MB of storage, the session token on that device and its notification token. It does not remove the account, the balance, an unrequested withdrawal, an active bonus or the operator’s record. A withdrawal that has not been asked for is still not on its way, and an account is closed by asking the operator, not by removing the app.

What goes, and what stays

remove 01

The phone is not the account

An account lives on the operator’s side; the app is one of two doors to it. Deleting the app closes a door. The consequence is that nothing about the account changes - which also means an unwanted bonus is still running, a limit is still set and a withdrawal is still unrequested after the app is gone.

remove 02

Two tokens disappear, and one of them matters

Deleting the app discards the device’s own tokens locally, and the notification token is retired by the send service within about a day. The session token is the one to think about if the phone is being handed on rather than kept: a revoked session is dead everywhere, while a deleted app on a phone that has been restored from a backup is not necessarily signed out.

remove 03

What to do before, and not after

Ask for any withdrawal first, check whether a bonus is still running, and revoke the device if the phone is leaving your hands. Those three actions are on the website, they take minutes, and none of them is possible once the phone is reset - which is the order that makes the removal uneventful.

  1. Open the website and request any withdrawal you want; do not leave it unrequested.
  2. Check whether an active bonus is still running and read what ending it early would cost.
  3. In the app, sign out of the device, or revoke it from the account’s device list.
  4. Delete the app: 102.0 MB, the cache and both tokens go with it.
  5. If the account itself is no longer wanted, ask the operator to close it - in writing.

The one action this desk does recommend. If a phone is being lost, sold or handed on, revoke the device on the account first. Deleting the app alone is not a sign-out.
102.0 MB the whole account nothing revoke before you delete

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.
