Best out there
I’m no expert on poker by a long shot, but I like to dabble, and I would happily call this the best app out there for a casual player who wants to refine their game a little.
So many other poker apps suffer from the same eyeache - loud, bright, glaring colours, ghastly decor, really off-putting rubbish like gold trim everywhere, celebrity endorsements or scantily-clad females… thankfully this app leaves all that behind and gives you the same classic, easy on the eye simple interface of its chess.com forefather.
I also love that it deliberately doesn’t let you keep what you’ve won in previous sessions. Regardless of what happened last game, you start each new game with 200 chips. So nobody is there steamrolling all over you thanks to their insane chip-pile every game. It’s a nice leveller, and keeps the games enjoyable.
The teaching part of it is a big plus, too. I would say the lessons are basic but sound, and mostly quite enjoyable too.
The thing that needs to be improved is the analysis it sometimes offers of your hand decisions after the event. Most of the time they’re broadly correct but quite often they’re clearly nonsensical, even in some cases outright contradictory. These are teething problems which I’m sure they will iron out soon with incremental advancements to the engine.
This is still the best poker apps suffer out there for the beginner, casual player and student if you want to play without real money.

Membership not worth it
Lessons are pretty uninformative, there’s a lot of bugs where it will say you played poorly, but the comment is something positive…
Самый ужасный покер рум во всем интернете
за каждым столом оказывается бот, которому регулярно везет, при чем несколько раз подряд, никто ничего не пишет в чат, невозможно выиграть, регистрировал 3 аккаунта, и ни на одном не смог выйти в плюс, просто абсурд
Heating issues
Please fix the heating issues faced by optimising the app better , it’s very fun to play but literally burns the hand with relatively simple graphics while playing on the phone
Gambling
I love gambling. Fix gifs on mobile. Thank you
Eeeehhh
It’s hard to respect this as a real poker app. It’s more of a poker simulator. There’s no stakes and 99% of the players go all in with K5 suited. If you want real poker try elsewhere but if you want “video poker at the bar” pass-the-time type poker this is for you.
Skeptical
I am an avid poker player and the amount of hands I and my opponents hit are insane. If I flip a flush draw I’ll go all in because I hit them 80% of the time with this app. It is fun. But I dunno man.
Делаем русский
А так всё красиво визуал нравиться
NO
I picked Mittens in Chess.com and I have Coach Sloane on here instead. MAKE IT RIGHT!!!!
Прикольно, но
Игры с ботами влияет на рейтинг в онлайне
Важно
Нужен русский язык !!!
Pay to win
If you’re not paying you won’t be winning
Bug ruined speedrun result
Got to the final 18 out of 190 in a speedrun. The game took me off my table to place me on another but didn't sit me down for over 5 minutes. When an opening finally showed up the app started bugging out and wouldn't let me play any actions and eventually kicked me out at 12th place. It was fun until that point but I'm reluctant to play another event in case it happens again!
Love the app otherwise, I've gone from total novice to pretty confident beginner within a couple weeks!

Great free to play poker app!
The chess.com of poker! Great app and website if you want to improve your skills, play with friends or in tournaments.
Great way to learn
Loooooove it. They’ve improved a lot since beta.
Response from developer
Thanks for playing!
Great
Gambit is a breath of fresh air, the UI is great and the tournaments are so much fun.
Amazing site and team
The guys working on this have a lot of passion and the poker is fun.
Peak
So I play poker with my uncle and dad I get cooked and this is helping me out so much
Solid app
Great app but could you please:
- add an option to cut off the game sound so we can hear our own music on the phone
- reduce lag especially when you just played your cards (very laggy on my iPhone 12)

Great concept. Needs tweaks and rating transparency.
So annoyed at the speed run glitches.
I wasn’t able to play any hands and had to close the app and restart only to find myself on the 5th blind and didn’t get a chance to build up from the second blind. Got a sudden message “Moving you to even out the tables…Taking your seat — you'll be dealt in next hand”
Only I didn’t get my seat back hand after hand after hand. It went back and forth between those messages twice until I gave up and closed it out of frustration and found myself still in the speedrun. Super unpleasant.
