Switch Poker Review
Switch Poker was launched in October 2010 specifically targeting players on mobile devices, and being the first online poker website to offer real money poker games for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. While stability and connection problems are currently an issue, it is exciting to finally have somewhere to play poker on my iPhone. While designed for the iPhone and iPad Switch Poker will work on almost any mobile browser so most Android phones should be compatible.
US players are not being accepted at this time at Switch Poker.
Software And Special Features
Switch Poker is currently not a native iPhone or iPad app, but plays in your mobile browser. Although not perfect, this does allow android and also PC users, furthermore Switch Poker is ambitious and this is an encouraging first step to having real money iPhone and iPad poker.
As Switch Poker is targeted to mobile devices both the lobby and table is lacking some of the features taken for granted on most sites, such as the lack of ability to take player notes.
