Poker for everyone!
Jun 14, 2009
Today many of the largest poker networks give mac users the possibility to play poker in their network.
According to Pokerscout.com the largest poker networks are;
PartyPoker (this used to be linked partypoker.com but bwin.party asked me to remove the link)
Cereus Network
CakePoker Network
In all but 3 ( iPoker, Everest Poker and CakePoker Networks) a mac user can play poker, either with an instant or a download version of the poker client.
It is great to see that mac users can play poker as well. The number of mac users increase so it is a good business decision to offer a version for them too.
In the image at the top you see something that I come across very often. Many poker portals have a "Download" button. The problem with this is that they normally show the button even for mac users when they only offer a PC version. This makes the player thinking he can play poker there with a mac. Then he clicks on the link and hopefully notices that he downloaded an EXE-file. A much better solution would be having the button say "Download for PC users" when a mac user visits the portal and "Download now" for the PC user.
I don't think the term "Download" is the best but that is another blog post :)
