Free Online Poker Sites

The launch of the iphone and ipad stirred a lot of excitement among many users due to the simplicity of the interface. In as much as the touch screen interface is not suitable for all uses, the iphone and ipad are both perfect for playing different types of games.

Debates have been conducted as to whether the iphone and ipad can support online real money poker, or not. The two brands being the invention of the Apple Company, must comply with the strict policies against gambling applications. Online poker sites have been more than willing to allow users of the iphone and ipad to access real money poker games but the Apple policies would not hear of that. However there are applications which can be used to unlock the ipad software without authorization from Apple. This raises major security concerns and thus online poker sites are very hesitant in accepting the use of such software.

Ipad and iphone users have devised another way of playing online poker. They do this by use of a remote desktop application. This way they are able to view the desktop of a computer remotely as if they were physically sitted in front of the remote computer. Experts have devised a procedure which the iphone and ipad users may find handy if and when they want to play online poker. The procedure entails setting up a Macintosh operating system or Personal Computer and then using a remote desktop to access it from the iphone or ipad. Not only will there be need to have the separate Macintosh computer, but it will also need to be on and running. After that preliminary step, the user should open his preferred online poker site; ensure that the correct software is installed and that the account is registered appropriately. The next step is to install a remote desktop application, which will enable the user to view the desktop of the computer on the ipad or iphone.

The user's mobile device has to have the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) program installed in it. He should then get the I. P address from the server computer and enter it into VNC application on the ipad or iphone. Where a user promptly follows the procedures he will be able to view the remote computer's desktop and play online poker.

Efforts are being made to come up with web- only ipad and iphone poker that will enable the users to play online poker without using applications.
