Thankfully, that change has started to pick up its pace in recent years. With the rise of Mac computers as the preferred choice of a whole new generation of computer users - and particularly among teenagers and college students, plus a new wave of online poker pros - almost all of the best online poker sites now offer something much better for Mac users.Īt the very least they realize they must offer a no-download version of their software client to not lose out on the growing number Mac users.Įven well known poker pros like Daniel Negreanu have made the switch to a Mac in recent years and industry giants like 888 Poker have followed suit by offering OSX-compatible no-download play. Given the momentum Macs have gained in the computer marketplace and the overall presence of Macs and Mac products everywhere across North America and Europe now, it was only a matter of time before things in the online poker world changed for the better. (Except of course if you ran a PC emulator installed on your Mac, but still). Either way, it certainly cut off almost all Mac users from the virtual green felt.
That was pretty much how it stood for Mac poker for quite a while. Plus, those options that were available were typically very pale imitations of the main software and well below the full graphics and functionality of the main PC client. The best you could do was a Java-based, no-download poker version that was only offered by some of the very first poker sites to get their software up and running. Ten years ago, it was virtually impossible to find a decent platform to play poker on a Mac computer. As any poker fan and Mac user will tell you, you simply couldn’t find a poker site that provided a full software client to download and install like their PC version.
