Startup creates first real money iPhone/iPad poker site

For those of you own an iPhone or iPad and play online poker, you'll know that there is unfortunately where to play poker (for real money) using it.<p>I've been reading HN for over 2 years and seeing the number of great web apps that have been created by 1 - 4 person startups here gave me the push I needed to get a small team together and do something about it. Earlier this year we decided to create the first real money poker site for iPhone and iPad users.<p>The user interface currently falls short of the standard set by some of the HNers here, but I'm working to improve it. Please give me your feedback. The real money tables won't be launched for another two weeks, so there's still lots of time for improvement.

I've always been curious about the legalities of running an online real-money poker site. I see you're based in Costa Rica, where (presumably) this service is legal - how does the illegality of this in the US play into your business plan?

I've been joking about this with my roommate (hardcore poker player i.e. 4 or 5 hrs a day), the day poker comes out for the iPhone he is done. I'm surprised it took this long, the big sites dropped the ball.

If they can get a app in the App Store, Apple's walled garden would be perfect at keeping bots out.

But what if Apple doesn't allow it? How many people would jailbreak their phone to play poker?

This is also illegal!
