Bovada (Bodog) release poker app for iPhone and Android - USA players welcome

Things just keep getting better for mobile poker players in the United States. Just a few weeks ago we reported that CarbonPoker had added Sit & Go tournaments to their already excellent US friendly poker app. Now Bovada, one of the biggest names in US online poker have also released their very own real money poker app that is compatible with iPhone, Windows Phone Nokia Lumia, BlackBerry and Android devices like the Samsung Galaxy S5. The app is web based so all you need to do is create a new player account at Bovada to start playing poker on your smartphone.

We haven't had a chance to fully test the app yet but here are a few things we can tell you right now.

BOVADA U.S.A. MOBILE POKER - WWW.BOVADA.LV

• Mobile Texas Hold'em and Omaha games are available.
• Bovada poker is a web app so you won't find it in the iTunes App Store.
• Games are available in the Bodog Zone fast-fold poker format.
• Choose between play for fun or cash games on your mobile device.
• The poker app works on most iOS devices, including the iPad or iPhone 4 and up.
• An integrated mobile cashier means you can deposit or cash out from your phone.
• New Bodog and Bovada players are entitled to a $1,000 deposit bonus.

Bovada and Bodog are basically identical sites that offer online /mobile sports betting, poker and casino games. Bovada cater solely for residents of 48 U.S. states, while Bodog offers the same service to the rest of the world. Their online poker room has grown exceptionally fast due to their soft games and quick and easy financial transactions. You won't need to jump through hoops at Bovada just to deposit a few dollars or withdraw your winnings.

We're always eager to get your opinion on the latest US mobile poker sites so please let us know what you think of the new app.

 

Yes, the Bovada app currently only offers Zone poker, which is a fast-fold poker variant. You cannot play Texas Hold'em ring games or Sit & Go tournaments at present.

Good news for U.S. and Canadian poker players wanting to play regular speed cash games on their iPhone or iPad. Following the latest software update, mobile poker players at Bovada and Bodog can now enjoy Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi and Omaha Hi/Lo games on their smartphones and tablets.

 

I'm sure Bovada and Bodog would love to offer their poker apps in other countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, but this might cause legal problems since they only have gaming licenses to operate in the U.S. and Canada. We may see other sites with .co.uk and .eu extensions appearing to satisfy the demands of mobile poker players in others countries.

 

Bovada have updated their poker app so you can now control your bankroll from the app. Both the Bovada and Bodog mobile poker sites have a cashier option that lets you deposit funds or cash-out your winnings without having to leave the app.

 

SealsWithClubs have reopened under new management and a new domain at SwCPoker.eu. The good news is the latest version of their poker client has rectified the security issues that caused the original poker room to close. The bad news is the software is currently only available for PC's. All going well I'm sure they'll reintroduce the Android poker client and hopefully an iOS version too in the near future.

Until then the only Bitcoin friendly poker app that I'm aware of is SwitchPoker.

 

mBit is a new bitcoin poker site that accepts real-money poker players from the United States. Their poker software is smartphone compatible so you can play it on any iPhone, Lumia or Samsung Galaxy. You'll find the install instructions here http://forums.iphonebettingapps.com...est-Bitcoin-poker-sites-for-iPhone-or-Android

 

Unlike many of bitcoin poker sites out there, mBit is actually part of medium traffic InstaDeal poker network so you'll find plenty of action regardless of whether you want to play tournaments to cash games.

 

Both Bovada and Bodog have removed online poker from their website. Thankfully it's just been rebranded as Ignition Casino Poker and they still support real money poker on Android/iOS.

 

If you live in the United States of America then Ignition/Bovada is no longer the only option for playing mobile poker. The new Betonline Android/iPhone poker app is more advanced and offers tournaments as well as just regular Holdem and Omaha cash games. Real money poker players from the US are accepted.

 

Bovada, Bodog and Ignition Casino have finally upgraded their mobile poker client to include tournaments. Up until recently you could only play Hold'em and Omaha cash games but they have now added a variety of Sit & Go tournaments also. They greatly improves the Bovada poker app that is currently available in the United States and Latin American countries like Brazil, Peru and Argentina. https://forums.iphonebettingapps.com/threads/united-states-bovada-poker-app-add-tournaments.970/
