The world’s first Apple mobile device compatible real money poker site, Switchpoker.com, makes its debut today at 6 p.m. BST.
Three-years in the making, Switchpoker.com allows online poker players to play real money poker on their iPads, iPods, and iPhones.
The site is web-based, allowing players to simply sign up for an account and start playing and the first 250 players who register for an account using the bonus code 10free4me will receive €10 in chips free without having to make a deposit.
Initially the site is only available to non-U.S. residents and hosts no-limit hold’em six-max ring games. However the company is already working on expanding its geographical reach into the U.S. and adding sit ‘n’ go and multi-table tournaments, heads-up and nine-seat ring games, and fixed-limit hold’em and pot-limit Omaha tournaments in the future.
Switchpoker.com works on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch utilising web browsers such as Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, Firefox, Chrome, Safari or Opera.
Conor McCarthy, co-founder of Switchpoker.com, said “As online poker players we were greatly frustrated by our inability to play real money poker using our Apple mobile devices. The solution proved deceptively simple – why not develop our own site compatible with Apple devices but not beholden to them.
“After a period of intense development Switchpoker.com is here and it offers the world’s first real money poker games for the iPhone & iPad. We’re thrilled to be setting the pace and look forward to making our site the gold standard of mobile poker.”
