Full Tilt Poker: The best destination for Mac Players

  • 4-11-2009
For a long time, Mac users have been excluded from many gaming sites due compatibility issues with the software and platforms used by most online poker and casino sites, which, since the beginning of the digital gaming era, were designed exclusively to run on PC platforms such as Windows and in some cases Linux. But due a recent expansion in both, the gaming and the computer industry, many sites have decided to launch new Mac compatible versions, even when the amount of Mac users is in some way limited compared with the total poker and casino players currently using PC’s. Mac users represent less than 15% of the of the market, however, sites such as Full Tilt Poker recognize the importance of giving these players the chance of joining their sites and play poker without having to run virtual PC modules on their computers. That’s why Full Tilt Poker, the second largest online poker site in the world, has decided to welcome Mac players with the launch of a fully downloadable client software for Mac OS. The software gives Mac users the possibility to enjoy the same features as their counterparts using Windows-based machines. Full Tilt Poker is one of only two sites that offer a downloadable version for Mac lovers.

The best part is that Mac users can play all the tournaments and events offered by Full Tilt, including the highly popular Knockout and Bounty Tournaments, as well as the upcoming Full Tilt Online Poker Series scheduled to take place from May 6th to 17th, which essentially will give all players, regardless of the software and system they use, the possibility to join one of the largest and richest online poker tournament series in the industry, and potentially win thousands of dollars in prizes.

The FTOPS XXII will feature a total of 25 events in several varieties of poker, including Texas Hold'em, H.E.R.O.S, which is H.O.R.S.E, but in a different order, Pot Limit Omaha High-Low, Razz, and Seven Card Stud Eight or Better, among others. The tournament series will close with the $535 buy-in No Limit Hold'em Main Event on May 17th, which boasts a $2.5 million guaranteed prize pool. The last FTOPS Main Event held on February 15th attracted a total of 5,287 players and awarded $2.6 million in prize money, including a $456,000 first prize. In addition, Mac players will also have the possibility to join the Mini FTOPS, a parallel tournament series mirroring the FTOPS but featuring only a tenth of the buy.

New players can also take advantage of Full Tilt’s 100% welcome bonus up to $600 as well as other great promos and freerolls running every day of the week. FullTilt.com welcomes US players and is home to acclaimed pros such as Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Jennifer Harman, Howard Lederer, John Juanda, Phil Gordon, Andy Bloch, Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, and Gus Hansen.
