How fake copies reach people

Five scams that use the 8IN name

The pitchWhy it is a scam
“Pay me and I will register you with a special code”Registration is free and takes one form. There is no special code; the code is on this site. Whoever registers you keeps the login. Register yourself in two minutes.
“Pay a fee to release your pending withdrawal”No such fee exists. Pending payouts clear through the in-app support chat, never through a payment to a person. The real causes are on the withdrawal page.
“Read me the OTP to verify your account”The one-time code is the key to your account and the only thing a thief cannot get without you. Nobody from 8IN will ever ask for it.
“Aviator predictor / hack / signal group, guaranteed profit”A crash round’s result is fixed before you bet. No app can predict it. These tools are either malware or a paid Telegram group that sells losing tips, and often both.
“Customer care number” found on a search result or a posterSupport is inside the app, in the chat under the Mine tab, 365 days a year, around the clock. A phone number claiming to be 8IN customer care is a stranger with a SIM card.

What keeps your money safe

What safe does not mean

A real app with a real payout system is still a gambling app. Every game carries a house edge, and over enough rounds the expected result is a loss. None of this is a promise of winnings. If playing has stopped feeling like entertainment, open the limits and helplines before you open the lobby again.

8IN safety questions

Is 8IN real or fake?

The app is real and has been running since 2023. What is often fake is the file people install, because copies get passed around on WhatsApp and Telegram and mirror sites serve old builds under the 8IN name. The real current build is version 1.0.6, 37.4 MB, package name com.ar6012.fb.app. If yours matches, you have the real app.

How do I check that my 8IN app is the original?

On Android open Settings, then Apps, then 8IN. The version shown should be 1.0.6. Tap Permissions: the list should contain nothing but network access (and the screen-awake permission, which Android does not always show). If the app has asked for Contacts, SMS, Storage, Camera or Location, it is not the build we published. Delete it and download again from this site.

Does 8IN steal data or read my SMS?

The current build asks for two Android permissions in its manifest: internet access and keep-screen-awake. It cannot read SMS, contacts, photos or location because it never requests the permission to. The login code arrives by SMS and you type it in yourself; the app does not read it automatically.

Is my money safe on 8IN?

Three things protect it. Sign-in is tied to your registered number, and a one-time code to that number stops anyone who does not have your SIM. Withdrawals only go to a bank account or UPI ID that passed KYC in your own name, so a thief cannot pay your balance out to themselves. And you can set a deposit limit in the app that you cannot talk yourself past in a bad session. What does not protect it is the games themselves: every game has a house edge and over enough rounds the expected outcome is a loss.

Is 8IN legal in India?

Real-money gaming in India is governed both by central legislation (since 2025, and still being litigated and amended) and by each state’s own rules, several of which prohibit online gambling outright. We cannot tell you the position where you live today, and anyone who says it is simple is guessing. Check before you deposit, and if it is prohibited where you are, or you are under 18, do not use the app.

Someone from “8IN” is asking me for money or my OTP. What do I do?

Stop replying. Nobody from 8IN will ever ask you for a one-time code, a password, a registration fee, an “activation” fee or a fee to release a withdrawal. None of those exist. If you have already paid, report it at cybercrime.gov.in or on the national helpline 1930, and tell your bank. Then write to us so we can warn others about that specific pattern.

18+ Real-money gaming carries financial risk and is not a source of income. Availability and legality in India depend on central legislation and your state’s rules, and they change. Check before you deposit. Terms and legal position: disclaimer.
