SBI YONO vs Yono Games — What's the Real Difference?
Quick answer: they share the word YONO and nothing else. SBI YONO is State Bank of India's banking app — it handles your accounts, FDs and bill payments. Yono Games are independent Android gaming APKs like Yono Rummy, Yono Slots and Yono Arcade. SBI did not make any of the games. यह दोनों एकदम अलग products हैं — confusion mat करो.
What Each One Actually Does
The two products live in different worlds. One moves your salary around, the other deals cards and spins reels.
SBI YONO
State Bank of India's all-in-one banking app. Use it the same way you use PhonePe or any other banking app — to move money, not to play games.

- Category: Banking + lifestyle
- You can: Transfer money, pay bills, book FDs, shop, scan UPI codes

- Games inside? Just casual mini-games (Yono Gems) — no real-money rummy
Yono Games
A loose family of Android APKs that picked up the Yono name. Each app runs real-money rummy, slots or bingo. They have nothing to do with SBI's banking product.

What To Do — and What To Skip
If you remember nothing else from this page, remember these eight rules.
Do This
- Download SBI YONO only from Play Store or onlinesbi.sbi/yono
- Use UPI (PhonePe, GPay, Paytm, BHIM) to fund any Yono gaming app
- Check each game's promo code before signup — bonus credits instantly
- Verify your bank account inside the game before requesting withdrawal
- Set a budget per session and stick to it
- Pick games rated 4.5★ or higher on the ALLYONOS catalog
Don't Do This
- Never type your SBI MPIN, internet-banking password or card PIN inside a gaming app
- Never download SBI YONO from a third-party APK site — phishing risk
- Don't install real-money rummy if you live in AP, TN, Telangana, Assam, Odisha, Sikkim, Nagaland or Arunachal Pradesh
- Don't share your OTP with anyone — gaming or banking, the rule is the same
- Don't chase losses — set a daily limit before you start
- Don't trust APK download sites that ask you to disable Play Protect

Which One Are You Actually Looking For?
One sentence on each. Two-click answers.
👉 You want SBI banking
Open the official link below. Avoid every APK site that claims to offer SBI YONO — they are phishing pages.
👉 You want Yono-style gaming apps
You are on the right site. ALLYONOS lists 14 verified Yono-branded gaming APKs. Pick one below, grab the promo code, and start.
Using Your SBI Account With Yono Games
Your SBI account works perfectly with Yono gaming apps — but only as a UPI funding source, not as a login.
Every verified Yono-style gaming app supports UPI deposits and withdrawals. Link your SBI account to any UPI app (PhonePe, GPay, Paytm, BHIM) and transfers move both directions in under 30 minutes. You never need to install or log into SBI YONO to play.
Banks supported for UPI deposit and withdrawal
Direct transfers work with every major Indian bank:
SBI · HDFC · ICICI · Axis · PNB · Kotak · Bank of Baroda · Canara · Union Bank · IDFC FIRST · Yes Bank · IndusInd
Minimum withdrawal across most apps is ₹100. Funds land in your SBI / HDFC / ICICI account in 30 minutes or less once your bank is verified inside the game.
One safety rule that matters
A real gaming app will ask for your UPI ID or bank account number to send your winnings. It will never ask for your SBI MPIN, internet-banking password or card PIN. If any app asks for those — close it, uninstall it, and tell us at [email protected].
