More and more betting enthusiasts in India prefer to place bets quickly using their smartphones, without unnecessary actions and with access to all key features in one place. That is why the Mostbet app is becoming increasingly popular compared to the web version of the project. In this guide, we will tell you how to properly install the mobile programme, register, activate bonuses and use it for betting as effectively as possible.

Getting to Know the Mostbet App 

The Mostbet apk is available for download for users of Android and iOS devices and fully replicates the functionality of the main version of the site. Bettors get access to sports betting, e-sports, virtual sports and bonus offers. The interface is adapted for mobile screens and supports English and Hindi, which is important for the Indian market.

The current version of the app is 6.8.1. The installation file is about 23.7 MB, which allows it to be installed even on devices with limited memory. The app operates under Curacao licence No. 8048/JAZ2016-065 and uses SSL encryption to protect data and financial transactions.

The advantage of the Mostbet app India is that it runs more smoothly, loads quickly, and allows you to receive push notifications about bets, bonuses, and event results. If you don't want to install the app, you can use the mobile version of the website, which can be launched in any browser on your smartphone. 

Installation on Android and iOS

For Android devices, use the Mostbet apk, which can be downloaded directly from the official Mostbet website. Before installing, you must allow the installation of apps from unknown sources in your smartphone's security settings. This is standard procedure for the betting market in India.

The installation process does not require any special technical knowledge and takes a few minutes. Once installed, the app runs autonomously.

The minimum technical requirements for Android include a system version of 6.0 or higher, at least 1 GB of RAM and a processor with a frequency of 1.2 GHz. These parameters correspond to the characteristics of most smartphones popular in India.

iPhone and iPad users can install the app via a link on the official Mostbet website. The download is carried out in standard iOS mode and requires confirmation via Face ID, Touch ID or Apple ID code. After installation, the app icon appears on the home screen, and the user can immediately start registering or logging into their account.

For correct operation, iOS 11.0 or higher and at least 1 GB of RAM are required. The app is optimised for all current iPhone and iPad models.

Registering in the System

After installing the Mostbet app, you need to create an account. There are several ways to register:

• By phone number;
• By email;
• Via social networks. 

When filling in your details, it is important to specify India as your country of residence and select Indian rupees as your account currency, as this will determine the available payment methods and bonus offers. After confirming your age and agreeing to the terms and conditions, your account will be activated immediately, without waiting for additional verification. You can use the same details to log in to the website.

Using Bonuses and Promotions 

The Mostbet app India team provides access to all bonuses available on the main version of the website. The main offer for new users is a welcome bonus on their first deposit – 125% of the deposit amount with a maximum payout of up to INR 34,000. 

The app also offers regular promotions, including the Victory Friday bonus with a 100% deposit bonus up to INR 4,000, risk-free bets, express boosters and a loyalty programme. All offers are activated manually in the bonuses section, and the wagering requirements are always specified before confirming participation.

How to Start Betting in the Mostbet App

After registering and depositing funds, users can immediately start playing. To do this, you need to:

• Top up your account using a convenient payment method in INR;
• Select the "Sports" section;
• Study the rules of the selected game or bet type;
• Start with minimum amounts and gradually increase your bets.

This approach allows you to adapt to the app and avoid rash decisions at the start.

The Mostbet app in India is especially popular for betting on cricket and kabaddi. Every day, users have access to over a thousand matches in pre-match and live modes. Over 40 sports and e-sports are supported, as well as video broadcasts of many events.

Bets can be placed in three formats, which determine how winnings are calculated:

• Single bets on one event;
• Express bets with multiple outcomes and increased odds;
• System bets that allow for partial errors.

Dozens of markets are available for each event, including outcomes, totals, handicaps and special bets.

Payments and Withdrawals 

Financial transactions in the Mostbet app are adapted to the Indian market. You can top up your account via UPI, Paytm, PhonePe, Google Pay, WhatsApp Pay, IMPS, bank transfers and cryptocurrencies. The minimum deposit usually starts at INR 300, and the limits depend on the method you choose.

Withdrawals are available after fulfilling the bonus conditions and passing standard verification. Withdrawal requests are made directly in the app, and the status of the transaction can be tracked in your personal account.

Security and User Support

The app uses modern data protection methods, including SSL encryption and account protection. All games are based on RNG or Probably Fair algorithms, which excludes interference in the results.

Customer support is available around the clock and helps resolve issues related to payments, bonuses, bets and technical problems. There are several ways to contact support: online chat within the app, email, Telegram and social networks. Online chat is considered the fastest communication channel and usually provides a response within a few minutes.

Today, the Mostbet India app is a universal tool for sports betting, fully adapted to the Indian market. It combines convenient navigation, local payment methods, a wide selection of events and games, as well as an understandable bonus system. When used correctly, the app allows you to place bets quickly, safely and without unnecessary restrictions, making it one of the most popular mobile solutions among bettors in India.

We are in December, which we at Notinhalloffame call “Hall of Fame Season,” and one of its premier events is the announcement of the 2026 Baseball Writers of America Ballot.  Announced today is that Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones have received the necessrry 75% of the vote to enter the hallowed halls of Cooperstown.

Let’s take a deep dive into the results:

INDUCTED:

Carlos Beltran: 84.2 %, enters on his fourth ballot.   Beltran had the resume that should have put him close to the borderline of a first-ballot Baseball Hall of Fame inductee, but his significant role in the Houston Astros cheating scandal led many voters (we believe) to make him pay penance.  That wait is now over.   Beltran blasted 435 Home Runs, 1,587 RBI, and holds distinguished accolades such as nine All-Stars, two Silver Sluggers, and three Gold Gloves, along with the 2017 World Series, the 1999 Rookie of the Year, and the 2013 Clemente.  Notinhalloffame.com congratulates Carlos Beltran for earning this honor. 

Andruw Jones:  78.4%, enters his ninth ballot.  Jones progressed nicely, especially after he had a lower than 8% in his first two years.  The five-time All-Star won ten Gold Gloves, smacked 434 Home Runs, 1,289 RBIs, and was the 2005 NL MVP runner-up.  Jones’ induction marks the first time a player from Curacao has entered the Hall.  Notinhalloffame.com congratulates Andruw Jones for earning this honor. 

Beltran and Jones will join Veterans Inductee Jeff Kent in the Class of 2026.

Failing to make the 75%.

Chase Utley:  59.1% on his third ballot.  This was a huge jump for Utley, who had 39.8% last year and, based on his trajectory, could enter next year.  Utley is a six-time All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger at Second Base who owns a World Series Ring (Philadelphia 2008).  He has 259 Home Runs, 1,885 Hits, and a bWAR over 60.  

Andy Pettitte:  48.5% on his eighth ballot.  We said in our preview that Pettitte would need a significant jump to find himself in the Hall of Fame hunt, and he got it with a colossal jump from 27.9% last year.  Remember that Pitcher never had more than 17% in his first six seasons, and for the first time since he debuted on the ballot in 2019, he now has a puncher’s chance.  He had a 256-153 record, 2,448 SO, a 60.2 bWA, and has World Series Rings.  Is Pettitte the one that Hall of Fame voters have forgiven for PED use?  Perhaps, as though he admitted use, he was not suspended as his use predated the 2005 MLB ban of HGH.   Nobody handled an admission of PED use better, and thus no admitted (or positively tested post 2004) player has a better shot.

Felix Hernandez:  46.1% on his second ballot.  The support of “King Felix” has exploded with a jump of over 25% on his sophomore year on the ballot, and this bodes well for the former Cy Young winner.  The lifetime Mariner had a lifetime record of 169-136 with 2,524 Strikeouts.  Hernandez was also a five-time All-Star and twice led the AL in ERA.  It should only be a matter of time for Felix, and we have to wonder if that could revert back to helping players like Johan Santana.

Alex Rodriguez:  40% on his fifth ballot.  No player on the ballot has a better resume than A-Rod, but he has two PED suspensions on a resume with three MVPs, 10 Silver Sluggers, and two Gold Gloves.  Boasting 3,115 Hits, 696 Home Runs, and 2,086 RBIs, Rodriguez can make a claim as one of the ten best players ever, but his Hall of Fame voting has no momentum from year to year.  Sure, he made it to 40%, but it was a minimal jump from his 37.1% from last year.  

Manny Ramirez:  38.3% on his tenth and final ballot.  Ramirez is in the same expensive boat as Rodriguez, as he also has the stats (555 Home Runs, 1,831 RBIs) and the awards (12 All-Stars, nine Silver Sluggers, and two World Series rings) that eclipse many Hall of Famers.  However, again, like A-Rod, Ramirez also has two PED suspensions and has treaded water on the ballot since he debuted.  He now joins the Veterans’ pool, and if Bonds and Clemens can’t sniff the Hall on that ballot, what chance does Manny have?  Manny will continue to be Manny, but it will take place outside of Cooperstown.

Bobby Abreu:   30.8% on his seventh ballot.  This was the jump that Abreu needed, as he had 19.5% last year, and considering he barely made it to survival on year one (5.5% in 2020), this breathes life into what looked like a dormant HOF campaign.  He is a two-time All-Star with 2,470 Hits, 288 Home Runs, and a bWAR of just over 60.  

Jimmy Rollins:  25.4% on his fifth ballot.  Rollins jumped from 18% last year, but at the halfway mark of his eligibiltiy there is still a long way to go.  The three-time All-Star is a former World Series winner with the Phillies, won four Gold Gloves and one Silver Slugger, and has 231 Home Runs and 2,455 Hits.  

Cole Hamels:  23.8% on his first ballot.  Posting a record of 163-122, Hamels was the NLCS MVP and World Series MVP in the Phillies' 2008 Title.   He is a four-time All-Star and boasts 2,560 Strikeouts, and this is a very good debut on the ballot for the Pitcher.

Dustin Pedroia:   20.7% on his second ballot.  Pedroia needed to climb over 20% to put forth a decent HOF path, and he just scraped over that in this ballot.  Pedroia helped the Red Sox win two World Series Championships and, individually, was an MVP with four Gold Gloves, four All-Stars, and a Silver Slugger, and compiled 1,805 Hits.  We have seen players with far less vote support in year two make the Hall, and they don’t have the rings and MVP that Pedroia has.

Mark Buehrle:  20.0% on his sixth ballot.  Beuhrle finally made some progress on the ballot, reaching 20% after bobbing up and down from the 10% spot.  Buehrle had a career record of 214-160 with 1,870 Strikeouts and was a five-time All-Star who won a World Series with the Chicago White Sox.  

Omar Vizquel:  18.4% on his ninth ballot.  Vizquel looked to be headed toward the Baseball Hall of Fame, but the defensively gifted Shortstop was accused of domestic violence, and his support plummeted to his lowest mark last year (17.7) from 52.6% in 2020.  11 Gold Gloves and over 2,800 Hits won’t matter.  This case is dead as dead can be.

David Wright:  14.8% on his second ballot.  Wright did climb six percent from his Hall of Fame debut, but there is a lot more work to do.  Playing for the New York Mets for his entire career, Wright played at Third Base, where he was a seven-time All-Star and won two Silver Sluggers and two Gold Gloves.  

Francisco Rodriguez:  11.8% on his fourth ballot.  Despite Rodriguez having similar numbers to Billy Wagner, he is treading water on the ballot.  K-Rod was a World Series Champion with the Angels, and recorded 457 Saves with six All-Star Games and two Rolaids Relief Awards.  

Torii Hunter:  8.7% on his sixth ballot.  Hunter remains in jeopardy of falling off the ballot, having never made double digits in the vote.  Hunter collected 2,452 Hits, smacked 353 Home Runs, and went to five All-Stars, winning nine Gold Gloves and two Silver Sluggers.  

Failed to make 5%, and were eliminated from contention.

Ryan Braun:  3.5% on his first ballot.  Playing his entire career with the Milwaukee Brewers, Braun won the 2007 NL Rookie of the Year and 2011 NL MVP, was also a six-time All-Star and five-time Silver Slugger winner.  Braun, who had 1,963 Hits and 352 Home Runs, has a candidacy marred by a 2013 PED suspension and his even worse initial attempt to frame the tester.  

Edwin Encarnacion:  1.4% on his first ballot.  Encarnacion blasted 424 Home Runs over his career with three All-Star selections in tow.  

Shin-Soo Choo:  0.7% on his first ballot.  A one-time All-Star, Choo had 1,671 Hits with 218 Home Runs.  

Matt Kemp:  0.5% on his first ballot.  The NL MVP runner-up in 2011, when he won the Home Run Title, Kemp won two Gold Gloves, two Silver Sluggers, and went to three All-Star Games.  He belted 287 Home Runs with 1,808 Hits. 

Hunter Pence:  0.5% on his first ballot.   Pence won two World Series rings with the San Francisco Giants and was selected to four All-Star games.  He compiled 1,791 Hits with 244 dingers.

Rick Porcello:  0.5% on his first ballot.   Porcello won the 2016 AL Cy Young and two years later helped the Red Sox win the World Series.  He had a 150-125 record with 1,561 Strikeouts.  

Alex Gordon:  0.2% on his first ballot.   Gordon won a World Series Championship with Kansas City in 2015, and he earned three All-Star and eight Gold Glove Awards.  He had 1,643 Hits and 190 Home Runs. 

Nick Markakis:  0.5% on his first ballot.   Markakis accumulated 2,388 Hits with 189 Home Runs and was also a one-time All-Star, who won a Silver Slugger and three Gold Gloves.  

Howie Kendrick:  0% on the first ballot. An All-Star once, Kendrick had 1,747 Hits with a lifetime .294 Batting Average.  Late in his career, he won a World Series with Washington in 2019.  

Gio Gonzalez:  0% on the first ballot.  A two-time All-Star, Gonzalez went 131-101 with 1,860 Strikeouts.  

Daniel Murphy:  0% on the first ballot.  An All-Star three times, Murphy won two Silver Sluggers, the 2019 NLCS MVP, and had 1,572 Hits with a .296 Batting Average. 

Next month, we will revise our Notinhalloffame Baseball list, incorporating your votes and including those eligible in 2027.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate those who have made the 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot.

It’s been nearly three years since the wrestling world stopped turning. The sudden, tragic passing of Windham Rotunda - known to the millions of "fireflies" around the world simply as Bray Wyatt - in August 2023 remains one of the most painful chapters in modern WWE history.

He was 36 years old. He was a father, a husband, a brother, and a son. But to the industry, he was something even rarer: a true original.

As we look at the landscape of the WWE Hall of Fame in 2026, scanning the list of legends and mid-carders who are waiting for their ring, there is one name that stands out not just for the accolades, but for the sheer artistic void his absence has left. Usually, we debate candidates based on longevity or work rate. With Bray, the conversation is different. We are talking about a creative genius who fundamentally changed what a wrestling character could be.

If the Hall of Fame is about honouring those who left an indelible mark on the business, then leaving the lantern off for another year simply isn't an option.

The Cult of Personality

To understand why Bray belongs in the Hall, you have to look beyond the win-loss record. You have to look at the feeling he created.

When the Wyatt Family first arrived on the main roster, emerging from the backwoods of NXT, it felt like the show had been hijacked. In an era of polished, reality-based superstars wearing trunks and kick-pads, Bray was an anomaly. He was a southern gothic nightmare come to life. He wore Hawaiian shirts and fedoras; he spoke in riddles; he sat in a rocking chair.

He wasn't playing a wrestler. He was playing a cult leader, and for a solid three years, the audience were his willing disciples. The visual of an entire arena fading to black, illuminated only by thousands of mobile phone torches swaying to his entrance theme, remains one of the most striking images of the 2010s. That wasn't just a "pop." That was a connection.

He possessed a microphone skill set that rivalled the best talkers in history - Roddy Piper, Jake Roberts, Dusty Rhodes. He could talk you into the building, but more importantly, he could talk you into believing that the stakes were spiritual rather than just athletic.

The Reinvention Risk

The true mark of a Hall of Famer, however, is evolution. And this is where Rotunda solidified his legacy.

By 2019, the "Eater of Worlds" character had run its course. In a business that encourages sticking to what works, Rotunda took a sledgehammer to his own creation. He returned not as the bayou cultist, but as a split-personality children's TV presenter hosting the "Firefly Fun House."

It was bizarre. It was uncomfortable. It was genius.

The introduction of "The Fiend" wasn't just a new gimmick; it was a horror movie monster injected into a sports entertainment programme. It polarised fans, sure. The red lighting and the invincibility booking were divisive. But you couldn't look away. He became the top merchandise seller in the company, moving masks and t-shirts at a rate that rivalled John Cena and Roman Reigns.

And let’s be honest, the "Firefly Fun House Match" against John Cena at WrestleMania 36 wasn't a wrestling match. It was a deconstruction of John Cena’s career and the wrestling industry itself, told through a surrealist lens. Only Bray Wyatt could have pitched that, and only Bray Wyatt could have pulled it off.

Commercial Immortality

We often judge Hall of Fame credentials by titles - and Bray had them. He was a WWE Champion, a two-time Universal Champion, and a Tag Team Champion. But a more modern metric of a Superstar's impact is their penetration into the wider pop culture and licensing ecosystem. Did they matter outside the ropes?

Bray Wyatt was a marketing powerhouse. His characters were so visually distinct that they transcended the weekly television product.

You can even see the evidence of his enduring popularity in the iGaming sector. Long after his passing, his likeness continues to be a major draw. He is a central figure in officially licensed slots titles like WWE: Clash of the Wilds, WWE: Legends Link & Win, and WWE Bonus Rumble: Gold Blitz. Numbers around these slots at the sister sites UK players have been visiting recently suggest that these games are as popular now as they were when they first launched a couple of years ago. 

It’s a telling detail. In the online casino world, developers don't waste valuable grid space on characters that players don't care about. They want "sure things." They want icons. The fact that Bray’s avatars - both the Cult Leader and The Fiend - sit alongside the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker in these casino games is proof of his status. He isn't just a wrestler to the corporate side of WWE; he is an intellectual property juggernaut.

When you look at his career, it mirrored the mechanics of those high-stakes games. Every time he reinvented himself, he was effectively pushing his chips all-in. He gambled that the audience would follow him down the rabbit hole of a possessed doll named Lilly or a masked demon. Most wrestlers play it safe. Bray played the odds, and more often than not, he hit the jackpot.

The Unfinished Symphony

The tragedy of his induction, whenever it happens, will be the reminder of what we missed.

When he returned in 2022 at Extreme Rules, the "White Rabbit" viral marketing campaign was perhaps the most engaging interactive storyline WWE has ever produced. The subsequent "Uncle Howdy" storyline, involving his real-life brother Bo Dallas, was just finding its feet when real life intervened.

He was reportedly preparing for a WrestleMania match against Bobby Lashley. He had decades of creativity left in the tank. We were robbed of his transition into the "elder statesman" role, the manager role, or the creative writer role he would have inevitably filled in his 50s.

The Verdict

So, does he belong in the Hall of Fame?

The question feels redundant. The WWE Hall of Fame is a collection of the people who made the show unmissable. For a decade, Windham Rotunda was the most fascinating thing on television.

He bridged the gap between the Attitude Era’s character work and the modern era’s athletic work. He gave us the Wyatt Family. He gave us The Fiend. He gave us "The Whole World in His Hands."

There is a sombre tradition in wrestling of honouring the fallen. We saw it with Eddie Guerrero. We saw it with Paul Bearer. Inducting Bray Wyatt in 2026 isn't just about mourning him; it’s about acknowledging that he changed the texture of the canvas.

He shouldn't just be in the Hall of Fame. He should be the headliner. He should be the face on the poster. And while he won't be there to give the speech, the fireflies will be there to light the arena for him one last time.

Modern casinos have become known for much more than gaming. While game floors still take center stage for most casinos, many have opted to redevelop into full entertainment venues, offering a range of experiences from live music to theatre productions. The change from supplementary entertainment to full-blown entertainment destinations has come after casino operators realized that the stage can bring in as much revenue, if not more, than the gaming floor. Following this transformation, live entertainment has become a staple for casinos, with venues like the MGM Grand and Caesars Palace not only hosting world-class entertainers but also elevating them to the next level. Singing and theatre careers have been made on the stages of casino venues, turning artists into icons.

From Tables to Center Stage

The transition from gaming to headline entertainment was driven by competition and convenience. With the global casino industry experiencing rapid growth and more casinos opening, operators needed to find new ways to stand out amidst a sea of competition. Standing out meant offering more than unique gaming options and basic amenities.

By combining headline entertainment with increasingly streamlined gaming experiences, casino operators helped redefine what modern digital entertainment looks like. The focus gradually shifted toward reducing friction and shortening the path between interest and participation. This shift is reflected across the wider modernisation of casino gaming seen in recent years, particularly as digital platforms prioritise speed, accessibility, and privacy.

One of the clearest indicators of this trend is the emergence of casinos without account verification, which have positioned themselves at the leading edge of frictionless iGaming design. By minimising traditional onboarding steps, these platforms demonstrate how the industry is responding to user demand for faster access and fewer interruptions, offering a glimpse into where online casino experiences are heading rather than standing as an exception to the rule.

Legends Born Under Neon Lights

The inclusion of live entertainment offerings had a fortuitous side effect of creating the perfect stage for musical and theatre performers to establish themselves. Many performers became so closely associated with casino stages that the venue and the artist felt inseparable.  Legendary artists like Frank Sinatra helped define the image of the cool, sophisticated casino lounge with his Vegas era, while Elvis Presley’s extended runs turned Vegas residency shows into a staple of the Las Vegas entertainment scene.

Later stars like Celine Dion and Elton John would go on to take the Vegas Residency and make it an integral part of their careers. The Vegas residency is more than just a show; it is a way for artists to solidify their careers in ways that traditional tours could not.

The Business Behind the Spotlight

From a business perspective, headliner shows at casinos are genius. Shows headlined by big names bring in consistent revenue for the venue while also providing the artist with greater levels of exposure. Ongoing shows also have a knock-on effect on overall revenue, with casino hotels having consistent occupancy, restaurants always being fully booked, and the gaming floor having a constant source of foot traffic.

Performers benefit greatly from casino shows, as these shows offer a reliable income, creative control, and a valuable marketing opportunity. They get to perform in a purpose-built venue, reducing the stress of having to set up arenas and stages in different locations on tour.

Conclusion

The rise of the casino headliner was no accident. It comes from casino operators and venues identifying the value of live performances. Live shows can elevate the experience of casinos, drive loyalty, and create legends at the same time. For artists, a residency at a major entertainment venue or casino is often a sign of having made it in the industry. Casinos have very high standards and requirements for performers, and when one secures a residency, it sends fans the signal that this performer is not to be missed. Live performers and casino operators have developed a unique relationship, one where a venue is more than just a place to gamble, and becomes a place where stars are made.
