Poker Bot for Android: What the Top 20 Search Results Actually Are
The results for "poker bot android" are mostly not what the query implies. On 29 September 2026 I sorted the first twenty into categories, and only one of them is a downloadable APK that claims to play real-money tables. I did not install it, so I can't tell you whether it works.
The audit
I ran two queries in Google, "poker bot android" and "android poker bot", and recorded the first ten organic results of each, then opened the five biggest non-forum pages and noted whether a download exists, what it costs, whether real-money rooms are mentioned and what date the page shows. The two queries return almost the same set: ranks 1 to 6 are the same six pages in a slightly different order. Google's AI Overview and the "people also search for" block are excluded.
| Page | Download? | Price | Real-money rooms | Date shown |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SourceForge, an APK project page | APK file | Free | Names GGPoker and 888 | Updated about a week before the check |
| Google Play, "Texas Holdem Poker Offline" | Play Store install, 10K+ | Free, ads and purchases | No, play money against built-in bots | Updated 7 Dec 2024 |
| Soft112, "Neo Poker Bot 1.0.30" | Redirect only, no direct file | Free | No, a trainer that plays against you | None |
| GitHub, dickreuter/Poker | Source code and desktop binaries | Open source | Names PokerStars, PartyPoker, GGPoker | Last commit 26 Jun 2025 |
| Bacloud, "Running Poker Bots on Servers" | None | Hosting plans from $1.7 | Discusses PokerStars, 888, PartyPoker | 3 Jun 2025 |
The twenty slots hold 14 distinct pages. Three are forum threads (two on Reddit, one on Hacker News), two are videos and one is a Wikipedia article. Two are Play Store apps, two are aggregator mirrors of an old app, one is the GitHub project, one is a hosting guide, one is a commercial bot product I did not open, and one is the SourceForge APK, which holds rank 1 in both lists.
What each result is
Play-money games against AI opponents. The Play Store entry at rank 2 is a plain offline Texas Hold'em game. It has bots, and you play against them. It does not run a bot at a real-money table, and a lot of people who type this query want exactly this. If that is what you want, this free game is available.
Trainers and coaches. A second Play Store result is a GTO coach. It teaches you; it does not sit at a table for you.
Dead apps that are still mirrored. Neo Poker Bot shows up twice through aggregators. Its listing on AppBrain says the app was removed from Play in 2018, and the Soft112 page has no direct file, only a redirect. You can find a page for it in 2026, but not a program that still runs.
Desktop code. The GitHub project describes itself as a fully functional poker bot and lists PokerStars, PartyPoker and GGPoker. It is desktop software, not an Android app. The repository is the only result in the list where you can read the code before running it.
Server-hosting content. The Bacloud guide sells virtual servers. It uses the bot keyword to sell the VPS.
The sideloaded APK. The SourceForge project is the only result that offers an APK and says "GGPoker" and "888" on the same page. It was the top result for both queries. I have not run it, and I'm not going to link it. The listing shows it is free, the file is named as a v1.0 build, and its update date was recent. I have not verified any of its claims.
Why the real-money version cannot come from Google Play
Google's Real-Money Gambling, Games and Contests policy says Play "generally prohibits apps from facilitating real-money gambling and gaming", with an exception for apps that are licensed and approved by Google. Developers have to complete an application process, and the policy's "Don't" column includes distributing such an app without being approved. It also says not to charge users to download a real-money gambling or gaming app from Google Play. The policy lists the approved product types as online casino games, sports betting, horse racing, lotteries and daily fantasy sports.
I am not claiming the policy names poker bots, because it doesn't. The practical consequence is simpler. Anything that claims to automate play at a real-money room reaches your phone from somewhere other than the Play Store: a website, a Telegram channel or a file host. That path has no review, no publisher record and no way to find out what the file does, which is why the earlier field guide on this site treats every such download as hostile until shown otherwise.
Where the phone actually sits in a real setup
In the setups the phone-farm write-up describes, the phone is the client, not the brain. Rooms look at the device, so operators who work at scale run racks of physical handsets with a control layer on top, and that write-up goes through what it costs and where it breaks.
How to read any "android poker bot" page before you install anything
- Who publishes it? A named developer with a history, or a file host with a project name and no people behind it.
- Can you see what it does before you install? Screenshots from an actual table, in a room you can identify, with a timestamp. Stock table graphics tell you nothing.
- Is a price asked before any demo? Fake listings described in the field guide demand payment before proof.
- What permissions does the installer show? Background service, boot start and battery-optimisation exemptions have no reason to appear in a poker client.
- Does it ask you to log in to your room account? A file that isn't the room's own app should never see those credentials.
Questions people ask
Is there a poker bot on Google Play? There are play-money games with computer opponents and there are trainers. In the results I checked, none of the Play Store listings was a tool that plays real-money tables for you.
Is the GitHub project usable on a phone? No. It is desktop software, and its page offers no Android build.
Why do two different queries return the same pages? Ranks 1 to 6 are the same six pages, and the tail of both lists is filled with forums, videos and a Wikipedia article, which suggests few pages target the topic directly.
Will this list change? I dated the audit because these positions move, and the SourceForge page in particular showed an update from the week before the check.
