With the introduction of laws banning online gambling, poker has become unavailable to residents of many countries. Classic poker rooms began to be blocked by internet providers and poker players faced serious difficulties.
The advent of the PPPoker mobile app completely solved the problem. The fact is that this and other similar applications position themselves as a platform for playing with nominal chips. That is why their activity does not violate the legislation of the countries, where poker is prohibited. In fact, the chips that the users of the app play with have a real value. Therefore, poker players got the opportunity to play for money, as they used to do in conventional poker rooms.
PPPoker is currently the largest mobile app. It has gained particular popularity in Europe and the CIS countries. Players are attracted by the relatively low field, a fairly high traffic, a wide range of limits and favorable conditions of the game. Today the total attendance of PPPoker is comparable to the top poker rooms, and the traffic is only expected to grow over time.
Unlike classic poker rooms, in mobile applications the game is organized in closed clubs. At the moment there are hundreds of clubs, united by geographical and other characteristics. To increase traffic, many clubs are connected to each other, forming alliances.
All financial transactions are performed through an agent. That is, you can not sign yourself up in PPPoker, join any club and start playing for real money. For this you need the help of an agent. He is responsible for finding clubs, making deposits, withdrawals. Payments are made in cryptocurrency or with other payment systems using p2p transfers.
How to find a reliable agent
Personal interaction between agents and poker players implies certain risks for the latter. Indeed, there were cases when unscrupulous intermediaries disappeared with their clients’ money. That is why we recommend you to deal only with major poker affiliates with an untarnished reputation, and AppPokerDeals is one of them.
We have been working on the poker applications market for over 5 years. During that time, we have built up a large database of the most reliable and trustworthy clubs, which we add our clients to. We also have our own network of clubs. We guarantee the safety of all cash transactions, safety of our players’ funds, and provide assistance in case of any questions.
Club Safety
If you search for clubs on your own, you run the risk of ending up in dubious alliances, where the rules may be changed and your game will not be optimal. At AppPokerDeals we only have clubs that our agents have checked, and we are confident that they are safe and trustworthy.
PPPoker games
PPPoker offers a variety of poker formats: cash games, SNGs, and multi-table tournaments. Keep in mind that the specific choice of formats and limits depends on the club or alliance you belong to. In contrast to the classic poker rooms, PPPoker does not have a general lobby with all the available tables. To find a game, you have to go to specific clubs and study the internal traffic.
You can find low- and medium-limit cash tables with Hold’em and Omaha rules at any time of the day, 7 days a week. There are also a wide range of multi-table tournaments in a wide range of limits.
Cash games
Traditionally at PPPoker, the most popular format is cash. Cash is played at 6 and 9-max tables; there are also heads-up tables. The most common Hold’em limits are NL10 to NL50. As for Omaha, the most tables are played in the 5-card variety, although PLO4 is also popular.
You can also find quite a few Open Chinese Poker tables in PPPoker clubs. This type of poker is especially popular in Asian clubs. Fans of Hold’em with a short deck will also find plenty of play, especially at low limits. Thus, at PPPoker you will find many cash tables in a wide range of limits at any time of the day.
Sit n Go
Single-table tournaments are also present in PPPoker clubs. SnG is played at 6-max and 9-max tables with standard and turbo structure. The SnG is also played by No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha rules (4-card variant only).
Multi-table tournaments
The PPPoker tournament grid consists of Hold’em and Omaha events (including 5 Card Stud). Some of these tournaments are guaranteed, some clubs arrange satellites for access to more expensive events. Both regular freescores and tournaments with a certain number of possible rebounds are represented. There are also classic bounty tournaments and games with a progressive bounty. In addition, PPPoker holds inter-union tournaments PPST series, to which players from all clubs have access.
PPPoker Traffic
At the moment, the average daily number of connections in PPPoker is 6000-6500, which is comparable to Stars traffic. If you compare the total traffic of mobile applications with the classic rooms, the latter are already lagging behind. PPPoker leads in traffic among other applications.
PPPoker software
The creators of the PPPoker app were inspired by the look and feel of Chinese rooms. The main innovation was the vertical layout of the tables, which made it possible to play comfortably with one hand. Throughout its existence, the application has been updated several times. To date, the software works pretty fast and stable.
Initially, the application PPPoker was developed exclusively for the game from mobile devices. Now, however, there is a version for the computer. With its help, you can open up to 5 tables at a time. However, the interface is almost the same as in the mobile application, which implies some inconveniences.
Using third-party software to collect statistics on PPPoker is forbidden. However, you can buy the so-called “Black Card”, with which you will collect statistics on VPIP, 3Bet, PFR and other records on your opponents. The purchase is made in the local store for the internal currency, diamonds, which in turn can be bought for cash.
Compatibility
The PPPoker app can be installed on mobile devices for iOS and Android. You can download the software from the official Apple Store and Google Play Store. There is also a PC version that can be downloaded directly from the PPPoker website. Using emulators of the mobile application on computers is prohibited.
Multi-tabling
Multi-tabling with PPPoker is not particularly possible. From one account on the PC version no more than 5 tables can be opened.
Deposits
The choice of financial instruments for deposits and withdrawals at PPPoker depends on the specific agent you will be working with. At AppPokerDeals, the main way to make deposits is cryptocurrency (USDT and other coins worth 1 USD). It is also possible to make transactions using Skrill/Neteller and cards of different banks. The money comes to the player’s balance immediately after confirmation of payment.
Withdrawing funds
Withdrawals from PPPoker are made using the same methods as deposits. On weekdays during the day the money is received within two hours.
Rakeback at PPPoker
As for rakeback, it is different in each club and is charged according to different schemes. Usually rakeback percentage ranges from 10 to 40%. Read carefully the terms and conditions for each club, because the rakeback amount is not always directly proportional to your benefit. For example, some clubs take a weekly commission on winnings, while others may take a withdrawal fee. Under these conditions, even a seemingly high rakeback will, in fact, turn out to be below average.
With AppPokerDeals clubs you can get back up to 50% of your rake. We do not charge any additional fees or commissions. Contact our rakeback managers for full details on club rakeback conditions and club specific rakeback amounts.
Welcome Bonus
There are two welcome offers in our clubs. You can find out the terms and conditions of these bonuses with the help of our managers.
PPPoker rake
PPPoker rake can differ from club to club. However, the average commission for most clubs is 5%, which is comparable to regular poker rooms. The cap, depending on the limits, can be from 3 to 5 BB.
Fair play
In 2018-2019, PPPoker raised some security concerns. There were cases of fraud by agents who could simply disappear with their customers’ money. There were also situations of team play, when several players teamed up to play by cahoot. Today, these problems are not relevant anymore. Only trustworthy affiliates remained on the market, who value their reputation and would not risk it for the sake of dubious profits related to frauds.
Bot tracking systems have been implemented. That is why there are now only real, live players on PPPoker. The random number generator is licensed by Gaming Labs. There is an active security service that monitors the entire application. Large unions and clubs additionally have their own security officers.
Nevertheless, it is worth to remain vigilant and keep in mind the risks. Therefore, do not trust unknown agents, especially those who offer too tempting terms.
PPPoker HUD
PPPoker rules forbid the use of third-party programs to collect statistics. However, you can use a converter to display Hold’em Manager 3 or Poker Tracker 4 HUD. It is also possible to buy an Asia subscription from h2n.
HUD in the app.
PPPoker has its own HUD, displaying 8 basic stats on opponents. The stats are displayed below the players’ icon. There is a significant disadvantage of the own HUD – it is paid. You need to buy a Black or VIP card to use it. For this purpose local currency – diamonds – is used. Converted into cash, it turns out that a monthly subscription of the black card costs $25, VIP – $60. So in order to use HUD, you will have to pay a monthly minimum of $25, although discounts are possible.

Pros and cons
Like any poker room, PPPoker has its strengths and weaknesses. The advantages of the mobile application include a weak field, which includes recreational players from the United States, Asia and the Middle East. Also, another plus of PPPoker is its high traffic, which today is close to the top poker rooms. High rakeback up to 50% is also a definite advantage. Wide choice of formats and limits will appeal to players of different level and with different financial capabilities. Thanks to the existence of the computer version of the software, it is now possible to play at several tables.
As for the cons, a non-standard system of playing in the clubs should be noted, which may seem inconvenient for many players. Also, some players may be concerned about the need to make financial transactions with intermediaries (agents). Poker pros will not like the ban on the use of software in the first place.
Conclusion
With the prohibition of poker rooms in many countries, the use of mobile applications has become a lifesaving option for poker fans. Today, PPPoker is the leader among such apps, both in terms of traffic and the variety of formats played. A weak field, comparable to the offline one, will significantly increase the win rate, and consequently your profits. If you are interested in the PPPoker app, please contact our managers and we will find the best clubs for you.
