Android Poker Sites
Any site that offers mobile poker, let alone an instant play option, will probably have games compatible with the Android operating system (OS).
That’s what you get for following the herd and buying one of the most popular mobile operating systems on the planet.
(Unlike those Windows types – they apparently like to do things the hard way.)
Not only that, but you also get access to sports books and casinos. You can have the entire brick and mortar experience condensed to the size of your phone.
If you can imagine it, think of jamming a full blown Las Vegas casino into your pocket or car, and taking it wherever you want. Want to play Dark Knight slots? What about American Blackjack?
No problems – that’s what we’re able to do now.
So now you can gamble for real money wherever in the world you can 1) get internet access and 2) play legally.
That’s two points are for you to figure out, by the way. We’re not lawyers, nor do we play them on TV.
But what we can help you with is this: finding the best Android poker site.
We’re going to tell you about that in the next section.
Following that we’re going to answer the question, what poker games can I play for real money from my phone or tablet?
Let’s get ‘er done.
The Best Poker Site with Android Apps
The best site, hands down, is Carbon Poker.
And here’s why:
==> They guarantee more than $6 million in tournament prize pools every month.
==> They host an Online Poker Series. This consists of 76 tournaments and more than $2 million in prize pools.
==> They offer a 200% match bonus up to $5,000. Every $1 you deposit you’ll get $2 back for $3 total. That’s a great way to jump start your bankroll.
==> No native app needed. You can play from your browser using Chrome.
==> They have a ton of other promotions – they have a reload bonus, $100 refer-a-friend, free poker training, a bad beat jackpot (which has exceeded $1 million) and a robust VIP program.
==> You can bet on sports and play casino games from the same account.
==> They’re 2nd in traffic. You’ll find a game running any time of day.
Carbon Poker is easily the best offshore poker site for Americans. They have a bit of everything. I recommend reading our review for the full write-up.
Types of Games You Can Play
So… what types of games can you play?
The thing is you can play pretty much any poker game from your phone. I’ve seen every game type and variation available.
The catch is whether your site has the games you want. Most sites, with the exception of PokerStars (non-US), offer a smaller selection than what they have in their download. They offer the most popular games.
But here’s what you can expect to find for now playing at the likes of Carbon Poker and any other US poker site.
Guaranteed Tournaments – Take your pick from options like:
- $1k GTD Knockout
- Nightly $1k GTD Deep Stacks
- OPS #2 $150k GTD Qualifier
- Nightly High Roller $20k
- Variety Hour $250 GTD ($11 buy-in, 5,000 max, stud)
- OPS #73 $50k GTD Satellite ($2.20, 5,000 max)
This is a Drop. In. The. Bucket. There are so many options. You just got to check them out.
Cash Games – Most of the games will be holdem or omaha. And most will be single table games, too. I’ve seen stakes as high as 5/10 on Carbon Poker.
SNGs – You have plenty of options here too – play up to $109 (full ring) or $215 to $1,050 for heads up action.
Game Variations – Choose from all kinds of variations and game types:
- Heads up, 6-max, 9-handed
- Turbo
- Hyper turbo
- Guaranteed tournament
- Knockouts
- Satellites
- Steps
- Late registration
- High roller
- Double or Nothing
- Freerolls
And that’s just Carbon Poker. On other sites you’ll be able to play fast fold poker. In fact, that’s the biggest downside to Carbon Poker – they don’t appear to have that variation…
… yet.
The stakes will usually vary too. I’ve seen them range from .01/.02 to 3/6. I haven’t seen them run higher than that – but there’s not consistent action at those stakes anyway.
Summary – What Are You Waiting For?
There’s not a better time than now to jump in on the mobile poker bandwagon. New apps, instant play software and games are popping up daily. And you can still sign up for free and get thousands of dollars in (FREE) deposit bonuses.
In fact, Carbon Poker is offering a 200% match up to $5,000. Every $1 you deposit will get you $2 back on top.
