iPhone Poker Apps

Why Should I Play on My iPhone?

The question should be: why shouldn't you? Having the ability to play online poker apps on your iPhone opens up all kinds of possibilities: play poker on your brand new Apple iPhone 7 to make that daily commute go a little faster, during some downtime at work, or in front of the TV. Even better – why not ‘multi-table' when out at your local cardroom, playing a game live and a game on your iPhone at the same time!

There are constantly more native apps appearing for mobile poker players as the mobile gaming revolution really takes hold. With the iOS improving all the time, it means better graphics, slicker gameplay, and more intuitive software. Of course, you can still enjoy the same great benefits of a standard PC or Mac site too – top bonuses when you join up, regular promos, and big guaranteed prize pools to make the most of your play!

How do I start playing poker on my iPhone?

It's no secret that playing mobile online poker from your smartphone is becoming incredibly popular. Because of this, most major online poker sites offer a dedicated poker app or at least have an optimized site for play on your iPhone. To start playing, go to your online poker site of choice on your phone and either start playing like you normally would in your browser, or download the site's app when prompted.

Are older models supported?

We can't speak for every single online poker site and app out there, but more often than not we see that there are no issues with playing on an iPhone 4 or anything newer. You might encounter issues playing with models older than that. Even if a particular online poker site's app isn't supported on a specific iPhone model, you still might be able to play in its browser.

Can I play for real money?

Yes! For the most part, anything you can do on a desktop poker site you'll be able to do on your iPhone, especially if it's a dedicated app. If you have money in your account already, regardless of if you deposited via your PC or iPhone, just log in and start playing for real money like you normally would.

Do I need to download a mobile app?

It depends. Many of the top online poker sites for iPhone will have their own apps, however, most will let you play right there in your phone's browser. Check out our reviews, or go to the site of your favorite online poker room, to see if they offer an app and/or in-browser smartphone play.

Can I play on a site?

Usually. If an online poker site has their own app you will probably be encouraged to download and play on that (via a popup). Even if that's the case, you'll typically be able to play on their site through your iPhone's browser anyway.

How do deposits and withdrawals work?

Whether you are playing on an online poker site through an app or just through Safari, your account with the site is going to be the same regardless of how you play. This means that if you make your deposit on your PC, the money in your account will still be there when you switch over to playing on your iPhone (assuming you are logged into the same account).

What is the best iPhone poker app?

That's completely subjective and always changing! While what everyone looks for in an online poker app is completely different, there a few that are head and shoulders above the competition. We've reviewed and compiled what we think are the best iPhone poker apps and sites.

Am I just playing against other iPhone users?

Again, it depends! Some of the bigger US online poker sites will have apps that allow you to play against any users on their network, period, regardless of if they are logging in on a PC, Android, iPhone, or other device. Some will only have you pitted against other players using iPhones.

Is it safe and reliable?

Online casinos are becoming more and more regulated, which is a great thing for players like you. Online casinos and poker sites now have to meet stringent standards of quality from their local government. There are also testing agencies, like eCOGRA, that do regular audits and random number generator checks to ensure that play is being conducted fairly.

Can I play without internet?

If your intention is to play mobile poker for real money, the answer is typically no as you'd be unable to play against other live players. Many apps do offer free play functions, where you play without real cash, which may be available offline on your iPhone.
