Mac Poker Rooms

For the longest time there were very few choices in the world of online poker if you used an Apple computer. Almost all of the rooms were for windows users, and windows users only. Well, things are changing.

Pokerroom.com
- Poker Room.com has been leading the way providing a place for Mac enthusiasts to play poker online for years. The room was established in 1999, and has been growing ever since.

They offer daily freerolls, and a choice of games that extends beyond texas holdem, offering other basics like Stud and Omaha, as well as more exotic games like Chinese Poker.

You can play at Poker Room.com via their no download version of the room. So, not only can you play against others, you save the bother of a download as well.

The room has been offering new players a standard bonus of 20% of your first deposit, maxing out at $100 in bonus money.

HoldemPoker.com
- Holdem Poker is a second room on the Pokerroom.com network. So, it's a second chance to play against the same group of opponents while taking advantage of a different set of player rewards. They offer a different set of freerolls, and their own welcome bonus, but the same stable poker network to play on.

Pacific Poker
- Pacific Poker has a Flash version of their poker room, which is Mac-friendly. This room is the poker arm of the legendary online casino, Casino On Net. As a result, the tables are often filled with casino gamblers that fancy a bit of poker action. That's much better than facing a table filled with hardcore poker enthusiasts.

Besides the rooms I've mentioned, there is another Mac Poker Room on the horizon. Full Tilt Poker is working on a donwloadable version of their poker room especially for Apple Macintosh users. While at the moment it is not up and running fully, look for the Mac-friendly version of this room to be rolling in eary 2006.

Of course the great thing about Full Tilt is that it is the room of the pro's. With top poker players playing online, you can bet that they are shaping one of the top rooms on the net by building the type of poker room that they most want to play at.

With more and more poker rooms coming online, it is just a matter of time before many of them recognize that Mac users are poker players as well, and they start developing ways to allow opponents from both Windows and Mac computers to play against each other in the poker room.

Of course, with the use of Virtual PC, Mac users can run many of the more established, larger online poker rooms like Ultimate Bet, PokerStars, and even Party Poker.
