Mac friendly rakeback rooms

[JPA2711]

I've know for a while it's basically impossible to set up the rakeback on an old FTP account (which i have unfortunately)

BUT

what other Mac-friendly (either a mac-download or java) sites have a rakeback deal going?

rakeback sounds good for a break-even player like myself!!

Good question, and it should be covered more thoroughly. I believe at least Absolute Poker rakeback is also for Mac.

Tomorrow our Mac guy Joao can go over the rooms and see which of them are Mac friedly. I'm just a Windows user I must admit, so can't tell right away.

Heya!

As a Mac user myself, I feel that there should be more poker rooms out there supporting our beautiful OS X. So far there aren't that many, but here are the ones that work on a a Mac and have a rakeback deal.

Full Tilt offers the option to download their software. I personaly use it and it works pretty well.

Absolute Poker has a no-download java version. I have never tried it, but it looks as though it's good.

There are some other poker rooms that have java versions of their software, but they currently do not offer any rakeback deals.

Another option is to use a software like Parallels for Mac, that allows you to run Win XP (if you have a license) on your Mac. I use it on my powerbook to run Windows Vista (slow) and Ubuntu (quite good)

Can we get the Absolute no download super-user version? No offense but in light of recent events, I wouldn't suggest anyone play on AP.

I'm using VMWare Fusion on my Mac and run Poker Stars on it without a problem.

eheh. The super user version is for Linux users only

BTW, what Mac do you have? and is running XP on it through VMWare Fusion fast enough?

I'll just run a virtual ubuntu session then

Mine is a macbook pro 2.4ghz 2gb ram. I need to upgrade the ram to max it out but haven't had time yet.

Hey again

Just to tell you that our new Loyalty Bonus Deal with Pacific Poker also works on a Mac

They have a java no-download version of their software that works on Macs and Linux as well as on Windows.

Have fun!
