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;

1. PokerStars
2. Full Tilt Poker
3. iPoker Network
4. PartyPoker
5. Cereus Network
6. Everest Poker
7. Microgaming
8. Ongame Network
9. IPN
10. 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 :)
