Just forget about the idea, to be honest. Gambling laws are so vastly different around the world that it's dead expensive to run a Internet gambling business.
Furthermore, the US are known for arresting managers of poker sites based OUTSIDE THE FUCKING COUNTRY for violating US gambling laws.
Seriously, don't mess with gambling, it's a hell hole waiting to swallow you.
b) Apple and Google are US companies and thus bound by the relatively strict gambling laws in the US - and so your app will not end up in either major app store, only as a sideload for Android.
c) as soon as Real Money is involved, you will attract a massive amount of sharks sucking on the mini fishes, as well as a load of fraudsters, poker-bot users and people trying to game your system (ACH/wire transfer reversals, CC chargebacks, stolen credentials, the list is endless).
