Lately I’ve been switching between both. PC feels better for stuff like live dealer games or when I’m playing multiple slots bigger screen, smoother performance, and I can actually read the game info without zooming in every 5 seconds.
But gotta admit, phone is super convenient. Just chilling, open the App, quick session on the go. Works great for single-slot spins or even some blackjack. Still, for longer sessions or if I want to track things properly, I always go back to PC.

What about you? Anyone here playing mostly on mobile now?

I personally prefer PC, as the design of the app seems more pleasant, clear and at the same time, depending on the app, phone sometimes limits your ability to rise freely. So Pc seems to be much better, as it supports (GGPoker) custom betting, e.g. 2.1BB, 2.3BB that are not pre-set in the system. If both affect the sizing of bets as well as the conscious decision making, when you see one raise an oddly specific amount in BB, which is not rounded. On the other hand, when you are in a rush, the phone allows you to quickly grab an already existing game and not "sit out", while you need to leave and go somewhere quickly. In the end, it is a personal choice whether you play via phone or PC, and mostly one's opinion and liking decides about the device.

It's more convenient for me to play via PC, I can play via phone only if there is no PC nearby and only one tournament))

I think it's much better to play on PC, as you said it's much easier to play, I only play on my cell phone when I'm out of the way, if that's not the case I'll play on PC, much easier to organize tournaments and bets and I can play on several Apps at the same time

The PC for sure, because it is better to play, easier and more practical, besides being able to play on countless screens, something that is not possible on the cell phone. Use of support software, in short, the PC is 1000% better.

Hi :)
I rarely play on my smartphone because I usually play 3-4 tables at the same time. I play on my smartphone only when I have problems with electricity or connection. In general, I find it more convenient to play on a PC.

I personally prefer PC. I don't really like playing on my phone. The small screen makes me strain my eyes, and that makes my head hurt.

Laptop or a computer or a phone does not allow you to control the processes, especially at the right moments of the game.

I don't think anyone chooses to play on a phone. Obviously, the best option for online gaming is a PC.

I mostly play on my home PC or sometimes on my wife's laptop. I rarely play on my smartphone. Although I have a fairly modern smartphone, I prefer to play on a PC.

Certainly, if we want to focus more on the game and opponents, a PC will definitely be the only choice. However, as you mentioned, if we’re looking for something quick and lightweight, a mobile device could also be a better option.

I prefer PC for the same reasons—better screen, smoother play, and easier to track things—but mobile’s great for quick, casual sessions when I’m on the go.

I play on my smartphone when I'm at work. I play on my PC at home. Of course, playing on a PC at home is more convenient for me than on a smartphone, but in any case, a smartphone is a good alternative.
Good luck :)

I use to play on PC but now more on phone but still a lot of poker website don't have apps or more to be honest not good applications on phones, like there is a lot of room to improve.

Phone is great to play while multitasking. If I am serious about a game I will play on a computer. Especially when there is more than one game on different sites. Mostly I play on a phone because these days I don't have enough time to play seriously.

I am mostly playing for profit, so I always play from a PC (laptop) and usually 4-5 tables at a time. If I was even more serious, I would invest in a desk and a two monitor setup and increase the table count to perhaps 8-12. But for sure a phone is cool for playing a Spin n Go in the train or your lunchbreak or whatever. Thats basically, what those games were created for.

When it comes to playing poker, it's definitely better on a PC. But sometimes I get tired of sitting, so I lie down and play from my phone. As for video games, I only play on the computer, though not as often these days. I don’t play on my phone at all, but there were times when I played PUBG on mobile with my son.
