If you are looking for our top choice on the best poker apps for iPhone and don’t want to read anymore of this review, then look no further than:


Unibet Poker for iPhone

Unibet is probably the most enjoyable poker site this author has played at within the last 5 years. The Unibet software does not permit tracking software or any other similar tools, meaning that casual players (playing on mobile or tablet) are somewhat protected. Whereas on a room like Pokerstars, if you play on your mobile, you will be competing against desktop snipers with a wealth of information available to them - So, if you are into balanced playing fields, then Unibet is a great option.

Additionally, the app is compatible with iPads as well as iPhones.

Aside from compatibility and Unibet’s unique take on online poker, it also should be noted this is new software that only completed development around a year ago. Unlike other software that has existed and be built upon for many years, Unibet offers a smooth solution - especially useful for slightly older iPhone’s for example.

Now, we have our top pick out of the way, it’s time to outline our remaining four, top recommended apps to play real money poker on iPhone:


Bet365 Poker for iPhone

Rumoured to be the largest betting company on the entire planet, customer’s money will always be safe with Bet365.

Although Bet365 uses iPoker software (shared by William Hill, PaddyPower and Betfair for example), Bet365 has numerous advantages over these other options.

Firstly, it has a very simple sign up and download process for iPhone users, you can expect to be up and running within about 5 minutes. When we tested the alternatives, they either did not have an app, or the process was very long.

Secondly, Bet365 has a number of its own poker tables, that are not shared with other poker rooms on the network. These games can be very soft and run up to NL400.

Thirdly, and not finally, Bet365 offers very fast cashouts, great support and generally are very well known for taking excellent care of customers. I understand this might sound like the usual sales pitch, but please notice that other companies’ professionalism isn’t lauded to such an extent throughout this article, so hopefully you can assume that Bet365 might be doing something special in this area.


888Poker for iPhone

Solid software, free money, but sometimes frustrating support.

If you are looking for a good introduction site / iPhone App, you cannot go too wrong with 888, simply because you can play quite a bit before having to make a deposit and they are one of the few rooms with one of the best poker apps for iPhone.

Competent players will find games relatively easy compared to the likes of Pokerstars, but as mentioned above 888 are a bit too forward in selling bonuses for this author’s taste. If you can put up with a few extra emails here and there, then this site is a solid pick.


PKR for iPhone

Innovative poker room, PKR has a decent iPhone offering.

On last inspection the download was a little heavy, however once you get it running, it’s probably the most entertaining real money, iPhone poker app on the market.

PKR do offer $10 free to users from most countries and if you are looking for poker to keep you entertained on your phone for 1 hour+ then PKR would be my weapon of choice.

The company is very trustworthy and there is truly no foul play to report. The only possible drawback is that most of their traffic comes from the UK, so at times like 07:00 (GMT), games tend to be pretty quiet.


PokerStars on iPhone

Despite the fact they are the biggest, and their games arguably amongst the toughest online, no article on iPhone apps would be complete without the industry leader.

Pokerstars of course offers “Zoom Poker” (a fast-fold variant of poker), which is especially convenient for mobile users looking to play for 5 or 10 minutes to kill some time. Most other apps listed above do not offer this version of poker.

Pokerstars also accept more countries (at the time of writing) than any other room in this list, and their huge MTTs make this app a must have if you are at all interested in tournaments.

Even although Pokerstars might not be my go to app, if I am grinding to make a profit, it’s obviously an app that is on any serious poker player’s home screen.
