Games have been an enormous driver behind the triumph of the iPhone, with many people using their smartphone by Apple more as a handy gaming device than as an actual cell phone.

For a number of years Apple declined to promote real money gambling apps in the App Store.  Many supposed that this was down to Steve Jobs prudish nature as he was very straight against apps of a pornographic nature, uttering that they would never be permitted into the iTunes App Store. There has been a great controversy about the legality of iPhone gambling, till apple issued a statement, saying:

“3.3.17 Your Application may include promotional sweepstake or contest functionality provided that You are the sole sponsor of the promotion and that You and Your Application comply with any applicable laws.”

The "applicable laws" part evidently addresses harsh rules overriding gambling in certain places, but in the virtual world, those "certain places" are hard to police. Casino and poker apps have been some of the most popular since the very launch of the iPhone – and one of the very first apps ever settled was Apple Texas Hold'em poker! But most of the poker rooms were offering their games based on Adobe Flash, which is not supported on iPhone. However, there is always a way out- to let their players gain instant access to their poker games, online poker rooms started developing either Safari-compatible apps, or launched dedicated downloadable apps for iPhone gamblers. Fortunately, there are now numerous options available for each and every adult iPhone user to play poker on their devices.
