iPhone Real Money Poker is Here

bwin are finally giving iPhone users what they've been waiting for - the first real money poker app for the iPhone. Available now in the App Stores UK and Austria, with more countries hopefully to follow, mobile poker is finally hitting the masses.

bwin have released a mobile version of their poker room to all iPhone users in the UK and Austria. The first app of its type that allows you to play for real money is an exciting development for millions of poker enthusiasts who use Apple's popular device.

Just months after Full Tilt Poker released their real money Rush Poker format for Android 2.2 users, bwin are spearheading the iPhone movement.

The software

Positives: Smooth graphics, intuitive user interface, one-click re-seating if interrupted by a call, hand history display and a nice array of game options.

Negatives: Bet spinner can be fiddly and hard to settle on the exact amount you want, limited table-size options, automatic seating so no table selection.

When will it be available to other countries?

After releasing a mobile sportsbook app and trialing a play-for-fun poker clock game last year, bwin are confident that Texas Hold'em for real cash on the iPhone will prove popular.

Great news for UK and Austria, but what about everyone else? bwin says:

"At this stage we are just looking at making the best app we are capable of. We went for two legally safe markets (the United Kingdom and Austria) and it went through. Other operators have seen their apps dismissed in other markets but we do not know why"

We'll keep you updated with further developments.
