iPhone gambling rumors are false

Jump to Comments

Earlier in the week I reported that the iPhone will come preinstalled with Full Tilt (real money online poker). These rumors have turned out to be false.

Apple were thinking of making a deal with Full Tilt, but Apple declined out as they felt it would be bad for the iPhone’s “reputation”. I agree with Apples decision. Would have been nice for the poker players among us though.

  • Aww, I thought I was actually going to be able to play on my phone when I get it. My new link is poker-speak.com for my blog if you could change. Thank you.

    Of course there is no cheesy poker program on the iphone, pass

  • I find it obvious, with the current state of US laws on the books that Apple would shy away from making a deal with a large commercial site like FullTilt. What Apple should do is find an exceptional piece of Mac compatible poker software and skin it for their own uses. Wonder if they have taken a look at ours?

Comes up, I have contacted apple number of times buri cannot get any absswers as to what I can play any responses

  • Someone told me there is an IPone hack that allows you to play FullTilt and even other poker rooms. Is this true at all? YourPokerSponsor.com

  • [...] upset at Apple for not allowing Full Tilt Poker to come to the iPhone, because it would “ruin its reputation“. Oh well, at least you can play some robots that look like animated people for fake money. [...]
