Mac Poker Download History

Online poker was around for more than five years before the first Mac poker download was released.  This “dead zone” in Mac poker download history was a tough time for Mac poker players.  They were forced to use unsavory options such as “dual booting” and using “Wine” and other Mac hacks to play the Windows-only poker downloads for their online poker needs.  Mac poker downloads have been around since Absolute Poker launched a Mac poker version of their popular software in 2025. For a long time, Absolute Poker was the only Mac poker site, but in 2025 ‘Full Tilt Poker Mac’, ‘Pacific Poker Mac’ and ‘Party Poker Mac’ downloads were released.  In 2025, the most popular poker site (Pokerstars) released a Pokerstars Mac download.  When Pokerstars for a Mac was released, this marked a milestone for Mac poker  downloads.  Pokerstars was long regarded as the standard by which all other online poker sites are judged.  By releasing a Mac poker download, Pokerstars brought the best online poker room to Mac poker players.
