Mac Compatible Poker Sites Is Now The Norm

Long time Apple CEO Steve Jobs died yesterday, but not without leaving his legacy of being an innovative computer entrepreneur and inventor, who continue to advance the technology that we take for granted today.  This news has prompted me to write a post here about mac online poker rooms, which are now becoming the norm.  Just a few years ago a Mac user would have to search the web in order to find a room with software that was compatible with their Mac computer, but this is no longer the case.  This post will look at some of the top Mac compatible poker sites and how they implemented Mac computers into their business plan.

Titan Poker

Titan Poker offers a flash version of their free poker software that can run on any system, including Mac computers.  The even better thing is that the flash version does not require a download.  You simply visit the Titan Poker website, click on the flash button and get right to playing.  Titan Poker is one of the most popular online poker sites in Europe and should continue to be with these innovative ways to reach more players.

Carbon Poker

It was less than a year ago that Carbon Poker introduced their Mac compatible software.  It is downloadable at the Carbon Poker website and functions exactly like the downloadable PC version.  Carbon was one of the later poker rooms to jump on the Mac compatible band wagon, but it’s never too late.

PokerStars

PokerStars, which many people consider to be the biggest and best online poker site on the web has redone their entire software in order to enable Mac downloads.  I guess this only makes sense for the biggest poker room online, especially when it seems like more and more individuals are preferring Macs to PCs.

Mac computers don’t look like they are going anywhere and the major poker rooms seem to have realized this and almost all poker sites now offer some way for Mac users to play at their poker room.  What is going to be the next step?  I suspect some poker sites will be launching mobile phone compatible downloadable software very soon.  It seems like everything is going the way of the phone, and I expect a good portion of the poker players on mobile devices to be using iPhones.  Steve Jobs truly has left his mark.

Titan Poker 6 Year Anniversary Promotion

To celebrate its 6-year anniversary, poker hot spot Titan Poker will be running an interesting anniversary promotion that might interest some online players. The comprehensive campaign and special event will include various separate promotions all of which will appeal to different kinds of players. We'll explore and discuss the particular details of this promo below.

1. Heads Up Championship— one of the cool things being offered as a part of the celebration is the chance to win a share of $25,000 in prize money. To qualify for the championship, you'll have to win one of the eight arranged 25 Hour Races put on by Titan Poker during the month of Feb. The winners will be organized into divisions and left to play Heads Up for some enticing cash prizes.
2. Mystery Giveaway – this one is decidedly more simplistic. Instead of qualifying, placing, and fighting your way to victory, with a mystery giveaway…you simply receive. All month long, as a part of their anniversary promo, Titan will be gifting mystery prizes to lucky members at the start of every week.
3. Sam & Marvin's Playground – this sub promotion allows members to face off against some professional poker players, Titan Poker's resident pros Sam and Marvin. To qualify for these tables, you've got to visit the page early and type in the given password quickly, as seating is allocated on a "first come, first serve" basis. The dates of availability are listed on the web site as follows:
   • Sunday Feb 18th Marvin Rettenmaier
   • Sunday Feb 25th Sam Trickett

Both from 20:00 – 23:00 GMT+1

As an additional part of the package, the pair will be playing at the weekly $200,000 Guaranteed tournament with a $200 bounty on their heads. That means that if you push them out, you win an automatic extra $200.

4. $6,000 Free Roll – to honor 6 years in business, Titan Poker is eager to award some lucky members a free (or so they claim) $6,000 prize as a result of their Free Roll. The winner will be drawn from those who have earned a token in the sweepstakes. To qualify, you must accumulate 60 points or more within the month of Feb. The actual $6,000 Anniversary Freeroll will commence on Thursday, Feb 6th at 20:00 GMT+1.

Titan Poker is playing a heavy hand in upping up their PR with this comprehensive promotion. To benefit from it, you must first opt-in at titanpoker. By opting-in, you render yourself eligible for a variety of different promos that may very well prove lucrative this month.

Titan Poker is on the same iPoker network, as another great UK poker targeted room, BetFred.  It’s smart for players to jump from one iPoker room to the next, earning each of the bonuses available, while still playing the same games.  The BetFred poker bonus is worth up to $2,000 so it’s very advantageous for players.
