Compatible Online Poker Rooms for Mac
For
years, the pickings were very thin for Mac compatible online
poker without using a PC emulator. Prior to the poker boom a few
years back, the entire online poker market was small enough that Mac
poker players fell by the wayside. Today, with millions of online
poker players worldwide, it makes sense to cater to alternative
operating systems. Apple is in the midst of their own boom with the
iPod becoming a cultural staple and the Mac attracting more users
because of its simplicity and attractive design.
As Apple continues to gain market share
over the PC in terms of personal computing, more and more sites are
offering Mac compatible online poker for real money. While several
poker rooms offer a no-download option that is compatible on any
internet browser on any operating system, others go so far as to
offer standalone native Mac software. Even though the software
package is different, Mac players sit at the same ring games and
tournament tables as their PC counterparts. A few are also still
open to US players, including those with standalone software.
The following is our ranking of Mac
compatible online poker rooms based on their software, bonus, player
volume, promotions, and other criteria. If you run a dual-boot
system with an Intel processor or PC emulation software, you may
