Are Mac Poker Rooms Safe?
A rising question among Mac poker players is if Macintosh poker software is safe to play poker on.
Popular Mac online poker rooms like Pacific Poker offer a Java based poker room which some players are paranoid might not be safe. Mac poker rooms say this paranoia is completely false and Mac poker software is as safe as Windows poker software.
Reasons for paranoia among Mac users and poker players come from the thought of players being able to see their cards by hacking into your computer. Mac poker software uses a “no download” software that runs in the browser by using Java. This software is unhackable says many online poker rooms.
Poker rooms like Pacific Poker take pride in offering their customers the safest software…
