Is it just me - or is every single online poker room non mac compliant

It is such a huge pain in the ass having to remotely connect to my wife's Windows machine every time I want to play online poker. HELP!

matrix_x · Jul 28, 2005, 10:42 PM

Yea, there are very few poker rooms that work on Macs http://www.mac-poker.net lists two of the major ones that do, which have worked out great for me. Down the road I'm hoping more poker rooms will see the Mac market for what is really and make their software compliant

satcomtim · Jul 31, 2005, 02:59 PM

www.pokerroom.com works just fine on a mac; nothing to download

matrix_x · Aug 7, 2005, 12:22 PM

Yep, poker room is one of the two on http://www.mac-poker.net but I like Pacific more

spanishlove · Aug 14, 2005, 06:59 AM

Thanks matrix!

I used www.mac-poker.net and am very happy. Cheers.

How could you miss Poker With Daisy

Randman · Aug 14, 2005, 11:18 AM

Not online but a very good casino game for Macs is Reel Deal Casino. The Poker games aren't bad.

bma_mat99 · Aug 16, 2005, 05:32 PM

try http://www.pokerroom.com

you can play real money, or play money, and believe it or not, the graphics look better on my mac than my windows machine.

spanishlove · Aug 17, 2005, 11:50 PM

I tried playing on both Poker Room and Pacific Poker since they were both listed on http://www.mac-poker.net - and I definetly prefer Pacific, although both worked much better then expected

dubbb · Aug 23, 2005, 01:18 PM

Try www.MacPoker101.com, they got good overview of the matter, and fairly objective reviews of Mac friendly poker rooms.

Yep, play the Mac User Tourneys there - tons of fun

spanishlove · Sep 20, 2005, 04:15 PM

I just played the Mac Users tourney the other night! Man, what a bunch of geeks (but extremely fun geeks) we are lol

matrix_x · Sep 22, 2005, 05:34 PM

LOL - I told you!!!

The Placid Casual · Sep 22, 2005, 05:38 PM

Wohoo! Finally decent online Poker for Mac!

A new habit to compliment my World of Warcraft one!

nredman · Sep 22, 2005, 07:57 PM

i dont play poker online much but when i do i play at www.hollywoodpoker.com - they have a web based version you can play

GamingMac · Sep 22, 2005, 09:13 PM

One that wasn't mentioned is Gamesgrid. Light on traffic but they have an actual download client for the Mac.

There is a review of hit at Mac Poker Source

eebra82 · Sep 26, 2005, 11:07 AM

You're supposed to, yes. Are you sure your friends are on the same network and do they look for your table in the right category?

It definetly works on both Pacific & Poker Room. I used to prefer Pacific, but I just noticed the poker room bonus on Mac-Poker.net is now 40% instead of 20% so I'd say Poker Room is the better option now. What is everyone's usernames... we should have an all-mac private game sometime!

My nickname is: bigWinner4 - I usually only play tiny limits though

quiklee · Nov 4, 2005, 06:43 PM

Hi Guys . . . i found pretty good bonuses once i subscribed to this newsletter - www.pokerletter.org - let me know what you guys think!

twong · Nov 7, 2005, 10:56 PM

Wow, it seems as if everyone has missed what I think is one of the better poker sites with Mac compliance.

www.pokerschoolonline.com

This is one of three sites in the "Bugsy's Club" chain. Downloading the software will allow you to play on any of the three sites.

PokerPages.com is their "free" site. The quality and level of play is loose and wild. Games are mostly freerolls, but you can play in tournaments and sit&gos for BBP - Bugsy's Bonus Points. Points are earned by finishing well in these tourneys and sit&gos and can be exchanged for every 100 BBP = $1.00 in real money. The real money can be used in Bugsy's Club. However, it takes a while to accumulate BBP.

PokerSchoolOnline.com is the fee based "play money" poker school. You can join for $14.95 a month or $120 a year. The level of play is very high and people are very cordial. You play for "play money" in tournaments, sit&gos, and league tables. You can earn sponsorship to big events including the WSOP and World Poker Tour.

Bugsy's Club is the "pay money" side of the chain. There you can buy in with real money and also use money that you converted from BBP in PokerPages. They occasionally have freeroll tournaments where you can win real money. The competition on this level is rather high.

Hope you will join me there, so that I won't be the only Mac user.

PS - Oh yeah, for some reason, their forums do not show up well with Safari. I recommend using Firefox if you choose to browse their forums. It works fine.

frankie tot · Nov 17, 2005, 12:51 PM

Hey I am actually a member of www.iMacOnlinePoker.com and I don't think it's been listed as one of the mac online poker rooms yet.

The site isn't just a regular mac poker site, they have a new mac poker forum (I just posted about this because I didn't see this thread) and it's a great place for all of the mac poker players to chat about their hands and stuff. Go to the Mac Poker Forums and play in the private mac poker player freerolls that are going to be offered soon. I hear the first one will be at PokerRoom.com for like $100.

Frankie

If you play at pokerroom then you can get a 40% bonus deal at http://www.macintoshpoker.com.

Mac Poker - they've got Games Grid now, it is my new favorit, man, now that is what I call a HUGE BONUS! I'm not even that good a poker player (I'm maybe slightly above average) but a bonus that big has turned me from a break-even player online to a significant winner

Tried it and am loving it

matrix_x · Jan 13, 2006, 02:04 AM

Anyone tried EuroPoker yet? It's mac compatible and 1 in 1000 players win a Porsche so I'm thinking about playing - just wondering if its any good or not before I waste my time?

frankie tot · Feb 8, 2006, 11:30 AM

Ya, I've played at Euro Poker, but I'm really getting sick of your spamming man. I think you've posted your link about 20 times now and it's obvious that the site is yours.

Get a Life,

Frankie
