World's First Real Money Poker Site for Apple Mobile Devices is First to Offer Revolutionary Online Virtual Currency Bitcoin
DUBLIN, IRELAND (Marketwire) -- Switchpoker.com, the world's first real money online poker site
compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, today announces it
is the first real money poker site to offer the revolutionary virtual
currency Bitcoin as a deposit and payment method.
Bitcoin is a distributed currency that operates without any central
point (such as a bank) and without any governmental control. It is
very much like gold is in the offline world. Bitcoins can be
exchanged from one person to another directly, anonymously and
without fees.
It has proved controversial due to its decentralized nature and the
inability of governments to track its use. It has already attracted
the negative attention of the Chinese government, the CIA, the US
government and many lobby groups around the world.
Conor McCarthy, spokesman for Switchpoker.com, said, "The advantage
of the Bitcoin currency is that it has the ability to remove all
payment processing related barriers of entry for poker and gambling
sites around the world. It would allow any person to play for real
money completely anonymously.
"Players will be able to now send us funds directly without a 3rd
party being privy to the transactions, and we will be able to send
funds directly back to the user. It also means that people without a
Skrill or Neteller account will be able to play. Players can get
Bitcoins on sites such as Bitcoin247.com"
Switchpoker.com, launched in October 2010, offers a simple web-based
solution to online poker players who wish to play their favourite
games on the move - no download is required, simply visit
Switchpoker.com using your mobile Apple device, sign up for an
