Splashtop works an absolute dream for this - the poker table for all the big sites that I have tried fills out perfectly on the iPad screen and the refresh rate is virtually real time. It also plays the sounds so you will get alerts when the action is on you - it is more or less perfect for playing online poker on the iPad while the client runs on your desktop/laptop.

A poker app has finally been approved for the iPad and iPhone but you need to be living in the united kingdom or Austria. According to this United Kingdom mobile poker site Apple have allowed a Bwin poker app into their app store.

The good news is Bwin are about to merge with Party Poker, so a party poker iPhone app should also be made available shortly once the merger goes through in early 2011.

Great news. Hopefully others to follow....

The iPoker network will be releasing their own iPad and iPhone compatible poker app that will allow real money poker games. It's going to be a web app rather than a native app because of Apple's restrictions on gambling apps.

The iPoker Network is home to some pretty well know poker rooms like Titan Poker, Mansion Poker and Bet365 so there should be plenty of options available to iPad owners very shortly.

As far as I am aware the only real money poker apps for iPhones and iPads are the 2 listed on this poker page called Bwin Poker and Switch Poker.

Bwin is only available to Bwin players in the UK and Austria. It was the first iPhone app approved by apple and can be found in their Apple store.


Switch Poker is available everywhere except the united states but you won't find it in the iTunes app store. It's a web app that you play via the iPhones safari browser.

Been playing the Texas Hold'em app by Arawella

It does online play and I think it's pretty good.

There are a number of online poker apps for the iPad. If you're lucky enough to live in either the UK, France or Austria you can download the Bwin poker app from the iTunes app store.

If you don't live in any of those countries you could try either Terminal Poker or Switch Poker which are browser based so you don't need to install an app. Details of all the apps are listed on this iPad poker guide http://www.pokerroomcompare.com/ipadpoker/.

If you live in the United States I'm afraid there aren't any real money poker apps available yet for the iPad or iPhone.

An I play on partypoker.com with an iPad?
