Mac Poker
For some reason, most online poker rooms started out featuring nothing but a poker client for Windows PC. Mac users were more or less cut off from the action.
That’s not the case today, and hallelujah to that. Poker is fair again.

Play Poker on a Mac – Now You Can
When poker sites took the step from text-based ICQ gaming to graphical user interfaces (GUI), it was all aimed at Microsoft Windows machines. For simple economical reasons, no doubt.
Mac poker became a human right
As a Mac user, you simply couldn’t install the software and join the poker action. Except if you ran it through a PC emulator installed on your Mac, that is.
Even if this was a possibility, it certainly cut off the majority of Mac users from the virtual green felt. And when Mac users are cut off from the action, any action anywhere, there’s gonna be an uproar.
The first Mac poker clients popping up
As soon as the Mac uproar hit the poker sites, two separate solutions to this “problem” came up: download clients specifically targeted for Mac computers and no-download clients that you run in your web browser.
Since then, more and more online poker rooms have launched Mac versions of their poker client, such as Poker Room and Poker Stars.
Getting poker to your Mac is easy
Downloading and installing the poker software is usually very easy and trouble-free. In the worst-case scenario you’ll have to unblock the poker program in your firewall settings.
If you can’t get started, contact the poker site’s customer support. Typically they can help you out and have you up and playing within half an hour or so.
Of course, always make sure you get a good poker bonus when you sign-up to the poker room! See our bonus offers above.
