Astronaut app and APK: what is real and what is a clone

Online gambling is not legal or regulated in Pakistan, and no operator holds a Pakistani licence. On top of that there is no official app: 100HP Gaming ships Astronaut as an HTML5 page that runs in the browser of an Android phone, an iPhone or a PC, and every file called Astronaut APK comes from somebody else. This page shows what the original looks like, what the common download searches lead to, what a fake can do to your phone and why mirror links circulate.

Does 100HP offer an app or an APK for Astronaut?

No. 100HP Gaming publishes Astronaut as an HTML5 game that runs in a browser: its catalogue flags a mobile version and a dedicated mobile address, and the studio says the game loads even on 2G networks. There is no official app, and the studio’s site lists none. The astronaut game apk files offered on affiliate pages are third-party files, one of them advertised as “v2.2” at 9.4 MB, and the only app literally named Astronaut that we found in an app catalogue is an unrelated arcade game from 2016 by Nine Key Technology, with no bets at all. What it means for you: if a page asks you to install a file before you can play, you are not looking at 100HP’s game.

Where do the common apk and download searches lead?

Whatever the wording, the answer is the same: the game is a web page. Each search below ends in the browser, not in a file.

How do you tell the original Astronaut from a clone?

A clone is any page, app or file that borrows the name, the rocket and the red-and-black look of Astronaut without running 100HP’s game: it can be a casual arcade, a fake with invented rounds, or a shell built to collect your phone number and wallet details. The original is the 100HP client, recognised by features a clone has to fake or skip: Round details with a Hash and a Salt, a Fairness check window, two bet panels, and Rules of play and Game limits windows. What it means for you: test those five things before you deposit anything.

How does the Astronaut game client run on Android and iOS without an app?

Astronaut runs in the browser on both platforms, so an Android phone and an iPhone need nothing but the casino’s page. Android holds 89.77% of mobile devices in Pakistan and iOS 10.18% (StatCounter mobile OS share for Pakistan, September 2026), so a typical player uses Chrome on an Android phone, and iPhone users open the same page in Safari. The catalogue lists a dedicated mobile address, so a phone receives a mobile layout of the same game. What it means for you: there is nothing to update, nothing to uninstall and nothing to hand to a stranger.

Can you use the Astronaut interface in portrait on a phone?

Yes, the game has its own mobile address. We could not verify the button positions on a small screen, so check the layout in the casino’s client: Bet, Cancel and Withdraw, the two panels, Last rounds and Round details should all be reachable without zooming. If a control is missing, you are probably not in the original. The controls are explained in how to play Astronaut.

What can a fake Astronaut APK do to your phone and your money?

An APK is an installable file for Android, and installing one from outside a store means no store reviews it first. A fake Astronaut APK can ask for permissions a game never needs, show a login or “recharge” screen that sends your wallet details to someone else, or simply never pay out. Fake “earning” apps built on crash-game names were the subject of an Aaj News report on 23 August 2025, and the order of the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) on 22 August 2025 told citizens to delete the banned betting apps. What it means for you: an Astronaut APK has no upside the browser lacks.

If you have already installed one: uninstall it and do not open it again; change the passwords you typed into it; tell your wallet provider if you entered JazzCash or Easypaisa details; and never send a “recharge” to unlock a withdrawal.

Why do PTA blocks lead to mirror links and VPN advice?

When the PTA blocks a gambling site, the operator often reopens it under a new address, called a mirror link, and the links circulate through Telegram and affiliate pages. A mirror is a fresh domain: it can be the operator’s own, or a phishing copy built to collect logins, and nothing on the page tells you which. VPN services are the other piece of advice: the PTA has required VPN providers to register since 2024 and has said that people should not use VPNs to reach unauthorised content. This site does not explain how to get round a block. What it means for you: a site that suddenly stops loading is information, and the balance on it may be out of reach. The legal background is in is Astronaut legal in Pakistan, PTA blocks and mirrors.
