No MAC users allowed on major poker sites... Need help

[Krazy15]

Hey-

I'm a mac user who is looking to get involved in a reputable online poker site... I have tried 3 and none of them accept mac users, as the mac computer doesn't read their software.

Anyone know a good site that accepts mac users?

www.pokerroom.com has a java version that works for Mac users.

Have you tried Pacific Poker? They have a java option also.

The Pacific java option doesn't work with any browsers supported by Mac. I have been speaking with them though and support is expected within the next year or so.

Try pokerroom.com for now. Even though it's a piece of crap.

I have VirtualPC (an emulator, made by Connectix, which I'm pretty sure Microsoft has taken over), on a PowerBook G4, 512MB, 866 Mhz. Pokerstars runs great in it, Party is OK but can be very slow, especially if you have a few Mac applications open, and I've fired up UB to watch a couple tables, but don't know how it is for playing. The package is like $200, though; at that price you might be better off buying a cheap used machine for poker use only.

Seconded. I see in my local newspaper's classifieds that people are dumping machines that would run Win98 and any number of poker sites great for less than $100... and it's definitely not as sacreligious as running a Windoze emulator on your Mac. :P

Do you really have to say Um before the rest of your post? Macs are the worst invention since key lime pie. Don't ever buy one again.

Without Mac, there would be no Windows. Aside from that, Macs suck the big one...

The first step is admitting you have a problem.
