Bwin launches French Android app
Launch of poker app follows introduction of iPhone apps in various European markets.
Bwin.Party has launched a French-facing poker app for Android devices under its bwin.fr brand.
The app offers real-money and play-money poker ring games, and means bwin.fr customers can now play poker on PCs, Macs and both Apple and Android smartphone devices.
Bwin was among the first operators to have a gambling app approved for sale in the iTunes App Store in November 2010, and was the first to launch any kind of real-money poker app for Apple devices (pictured) two months later.
It also launched a universal sports betting app for Android and Apple devices late last year, with the Apple version restricted to 18 countries while the Android equivalent was made available to all bwin.com customers.
Today’s launch follows the revelation earlier this week that PokerStars is weeks away from launching a French-facing app for iPhone and iPad.
