Party Poker For Mac
 Macintosh
Linux Compatible Party Poker
US Mac real money poker players are no longer accepted at Party
Poker. In late 2006, PartyPoker.com announced it would no longer
accept wagers from USA residents. The ban on US players applies
both to Linux players and PC users, and is meant for Party
Poker.com to comply with all United States gambling laws,
specifically the UIGEA law.
Mac Compatible Party Poker Software
For Mac online poker players outside the United States, Party
Poker is the largest online poker room to offer Mac compatible
poker software. This means Macintosh computer users have another
huge online poker room where they can play online poker.
During peak hours, up to 9,500 real money ring game and 30,000
real money tournament players can be found playing.
PartyPoker.com offers some of the best promotions online,
including prize pool guaranteed tournaments, sit-and-go
tournaments, a loyalty points system, periodic reload bonus
offers, a tell a friend bonus, and qualifiers to live poker
events. Their Mac poker software is fully downloadable.
Mac poker players are not shuffled off to their own rooms at
Party Poker, either. If you play on the Mac, you are given full
access to all the rooms with PC players, too. That means you get
to lock wits with poker players who've shown the lack of
judgment to buy Microsoft products.
Mac Party Poker Bonus
New Linux poker players will have their initial deposit matched
by a 30% bonus. The maximum bonus size and requirements to clear
the bonus depend on a player's currency. Here's the breakdown
according to the forms of currency: the American dollar, the UK
pound or the Euro:
- 30% up to $150: To release this bonus players must earn
4 party points per bonus dollars.
- 30% up to €100: To release this bonus players must earn
6 party points per bonus €.
- 30% up to £75: To release this bonus players must earn 8
party points per bonus £.
How to Earn Party Points
Party Points are earned for every 20 raked hands played at ring
game tables. The amount of points earned depends on the table
stakes.
Players also earn 2 Party Points for each $2 paid in tournament
entry fees, for example a $20+$2 tournament is worth 4 points.
Party Points work the same for a Linux player as it does for a
PC player.
Linux Party Poker Software
PartyPoker’s smooth interface, advanced features and outstanding
playability are some of the reasons they have become the premier
provider of online poker world wide. In addition to being
user-friendly for Macintosh users, the site is also reliable and
secure. The software operates efficiently, so you won't notice
drag, even when 100,000 users are logged in at the same time.
Party Poker is also known for having the best collusion
detection software in the industry.
PartyPoker.com has a strong stance against cheaters and have
been known to close accounts and confiscate their funds. Any
funds that are considered ‘winnings’, Party will return the
funds to players that were being colluded against. This also
includes any attempt in using bots or violating other Party
Poker’s security rules. Party Poker takes great pride in
offering fair and safe games to their players, and generally
goes further than most of its competitors to assure
PartyPoker.com players can enjoy a fair game.
Party Poker Mac Poker Software
As far as Mac and Linux players are concerned, Party Poker
offers a download native Mac version and also a Java based
version which can be played without downloading the software.
Some of the software’s features include statistics of personal
play, note taking, player to player transfers, superior multi
table support (with re-sizable tables, and the ability to play
up to 12 tables simultaneously), buddy lists, players search,
and advanced lobby filters.
Mac poker players at Party Poker, but who want to see the PC
experience, might buy a PC Simulator or Apple Boot Camp
software. Apple Boot Camp is for Intel-based Mac computers, and
allows the user to download Microsoft programs. A PC Simulator
does something similar for non-Intel Mac computers. These two
options will obviously cost extra money, though either will
allow Mac plays compatibility with countless software systems on
the internet besides PartyPoker.
One tip for using Mac Party Poker software is how to perform the
right click function on the MacIntosh. Simply click the mouse
button while holding down the Control button. This will perform
the right-click, which is needed for several tasks on Party
Poker.
Party Poker Mac Backgrounds
There are a whole lot of background options for Mac users at
Party Poker. So far, I've come across everything from World
Series of Poker skins to Matrix backgrounds. There are
country-themed and city-themed backgrounds, such as Canada,
France, Germany, India, Japan, Las Vegas, New York, the U.S.
(actually George W. Bush), the U.K. (Queen Elizabeth) and Iraq.
There are also event or holiday skins, such as Thanksgiving,
Christmas and the World Cup, but not necessarily in that order.
There is everything from Major League Baseball to sexy girls to
Harry Potter themes. My favorite is the Party Poker on Mac
theme.
Party Poker Mac Avatars
There's the standard range of avatars on Party Poker, and all
are available to Linux players. People have different theories
on the avatars. Some view them as a tool for distinguishing
players at your table. I personally think avatars can throw off
players sometimes. You might associate one avatar with an
aggressive player, for instance, or underestimate a player with
a goofy-looking avatar. Party Poker allows Mac compatible
players to turn off the avatars on their screen.
Party Poker Games Traffic and Competition
Party Poker has the largest game selection online. Their most
popular game is still Texas Hold’em. Unlike alternative poker
sites, who often offer few games besides Texas Hold’em, Party
Poker.com has plenty of ring game and tournament traffic
available at Omaha, Omaha Hi/lo, 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud
Hi/Lo. No matter if you’re a micro limit player or a high stakes
professional, or anything between, Party Poker has plenty of
soft games with large windows of profit potential to suit your
needs.
During peak hours up to 9,500 real money ring game and 30,000
real money tournament players can be found playing
simultaneously. The level of competition varies greatly, as is
the case with most large sites. Overall, PartyPoker.com is
considered to be one of the most profitable sites on the net for
the skilled Mac player. PartyPoker has many inexperienced
competitors populating the tables daily.
Mac Party Poker Customer Support
Party Poker offers outstanding customer support which is
available 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, via email or toll
free phone.
Party Poker Banking Options
Party Poker banking options include Visa, MasterCard, NETeller,
Western Union, eChecks (Processed by iGM-Pay), Western Union,
Bank Draft, Cashier Checks, Money Orders, and Personal Check. As
mentioned early, neither PC Party Poker gamblers nor Linux Party
Poker players can sign up from the United States.
US Mac Poker Besides Party Poker
"PartyPoker for Mac" doesn't accept US-based player.
If US players are looking to play poker on your Mac from the
United States, this site recommends Full Tilt Poker.
FullTiltPoker.com is the Internet’s leading Mac compatible poker
room.
