I am proud to announce the launch of the world's first iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch compatible real money poker site, SwitchPoker.com.

Media interest in the launch has been phenomenal. Earlier today a Card Player article on the site broke their retweet record of 41 (it's currently at 58 and climbing).
Our €10 launch bonus offer, initially limited to the first 250 signups was used up within minutes today, and used by 400+ users before we hit the off switch. All bonuses will be honored of course.


Future bonuses, which will include iPad & iPod Touch giveaways, will be tweeted before being mentioned elsewhere, so follow Switch Poker on Twitter to get the latest bonus, giveaway & competition info early.

We currently offer no-limit holdem, 6-seater cash games, with buyins from as little as 20 cent. Tournaments, SnGs and non-NLH games are in the works.

We are first to admit that the site lacks some of the features that you might be accustomed to. We are working tirelessly to improve the experience and expand our offerings.

Current deposit methods include Visa, Mastercard, Bank transfer, Amex, JCB, Diners Card, along with many country specific methods, all of which are provided via Moneybookers.

I will be on hand here to answer any of your questions.

... and I don't even have an ipad or an iphone.

Could you explain a bit more? Will multitabling be possible? When do you expect to introduce stakes above micros?

And the more obvious one... how on earth is this approved for the app store when Apple is opposed to real money gambling apps?

And it looks like there is actually a reasonable rake structure?

multitabling on an iphone, seriously? poker is doomed

wait until they develop tableninja iphone!

I mean of course you couldn't 16-table cash, I'm just curious if it's possible to do anything like tile tables. Like I said I don't even have an ipad/iphone so I'm not too clear on the software possibilities.

Isn't it a website instead of an app?

Yes, it's JavaScript and HTML, which any modern browser can use.

Do you just need to sign up to get the 10 euro, or do you need to deposit?

I wouldn't mind giving this a risk free try since I have wanted something native not remote access for the iphone.

what network is it on? Im assuming no americans?

Their FAQ says: "You can also play on your iPhone if you have super-human eyesight. We are working on a better iPhone experience right now."

Guess I'll wait.

Correct - no US.

this is great b/c it will force stars and ftp to act more quickly in this direction.

what signup code for the free 10 euros?

That bonus code is sold out.

A startup, not networked.

They don't ban Americans, but there's no US-friendly payment processor.

No it doesn't.

my first impressions are that i like everything about this. if im playing one table on an iphone tho i would want it to be a tournament.

seriously? that would be the last thing I would want it to be.

Seems multitabling is supported. Only one table is visible at a time, with miniviews for other tables on the left, click to switch to, a la bodog.

Good luck to the site. I hope your javascript holds up to the scrutiny it's going to receive.

p.s. sounds didn't work on my chrome 6.04

looks good

If I'm using an itouch connected to a wireless network I'd be able to play switchpoker, yes?

Ah, that sucks. But, this is still awesome news. Someone who has played please write up a detailed trip report. This is pretty incredible (even though I live in the US).

What the highest can u currently play?
And is cashout easy or it gonna be hard and alot of trouble like so many site :P
This look very nice, Can play anywhere ROAR GJ
Definally gonna have to try that

Is there rakeback?

If I happened to live in the US could I make an acc and have someone xfer me money?

yes

No transfer feature yet.

A 50NL shorthanded was just running, but it's 4 AM Irish time now.

Yes, amazingly.

The main thing I've missed so far is preaction buttons. Also, I didn't see a way to top up your table balance.

that is a shame on the bonus running out.

I would of loved to give it a try, but not into depositing on a site with no rep at the moment.

good luck with this. I hope it's a success and this niche becomes more mainstream.

Any plans on the Android phones? Droid 2 here.
