Sky Poker for Mac

Review of Sky Poker for Mac

The following comprehensive review of Sky Poker will discuss the best games offered by Sky, which are our favourites, and which are Mac compatible. We then explain how to open a new Sky account, which deposit methods they presently accept, and how to get a huge sign up bonus.

  Is Sky Poker Mac Compatible?

  Sky Poker is one of the best options for Macintosh owners today as they have a download poker client that is 100% Mac compatible. It is extremely rare that a poker client can be downloaded and installed right on to your Macbook Air or Pro with retina display. In order to run the Sky Poker download software you must already have Adobe Integrated Runtime, (Adobe AIR), installed on your Mac. Adobe AIR is simply a piece of software that helps Flash applications run in a contained player, and will ensure that all of the Sky gaming software runs correctly.

  You will also be able to play in the Sky Vegas flash casino, wager in the Sky Bet sportsbook or stroll into their virtual bingo hall on your Mac. The Sky Vegas mobile casino is also available for iPhone so you can bet wherever and whenever you want.

  Sky Poker Sign Up Bonus

  The Sky Poker sign up bonus is an amazing 200% bonus up to £500 with £20 in free chips to buy into any of their scheduled tournaments and Sit n Go’s. The bonus money is only issued on your first real money deposit, so make sure that you take full advantage of the free 200%. The bonus is issued £10 at a time as soon as you generate 250 poker points, so you will max out on a £250 initial deposit and generation of 12500 poker points, (to receive the full £500 bonus). 

  The £20 in free poker chips are issued as 4 x £3.30 and 4 x £2.20 but you can add them together to enter into tournaments that have a higher buy in.

  Please note that new players have 30 days to clear the bonus from the time that they originally registered. Also, players who use MoneyBookers or NETELLER are not eligible for this welcome promotion.

  Mac Poker Games at Sky Poker

  One of the coolest features of Sky Poker is that you can play in live tournaments such as “The Open” that is televised on Sky Channel 861, which broadcasts the poker game straight from your Mac to the living rooms of millions of people in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. No other online poker room gives players the chance to be immortalized on television like this. Sky Poker analysts break down the action and various hands for viewers, and people can even send their poker questions in to be answered live on air.

  Sky Poker offers many different types of poker tournaments such as Sit & Go (STT), Speed tournaments (Scary, Speed, Roulette & Velocity), Satellites, Double Stack, Rebuy and Add On tourneys. Also, their tournament schedule is filled with lots of guaranteed tournaments, many of which have massive overlays, (an overlay being when the amount of real money buy-ins is less than the guaranteed prize pool, resulting in better odds to win for the participants since the poker room has to put the extra money into the pool). In addition, the Sky Poker Room has a wide selection of bounty tournaments which are sure to appeal to the poker blood lust in all of us.

  Mac owners will be happy to know that they can also access the Sky Vegas Flash casino which offers over 250 slots and table games which have all been designed to run beautifully on Macintosh computers. In addition to standard casino favourites such as roulette, blackjack, and keno, Sky Vegas offers players amazing new branded slots games such as “Monopoly Slots”, “Hulkamania Slots”, “Ghostbusters Slots”, “Transformers Slots”, and not to mention the best new slots game in years from the greatest rock n’ roll band of all time, KISS.

  Sky Vegas also has a no download live casino for Mac users that offers live roulette, live baccarat, live blackjack and live casino hold em. Players have the ability to multitable up to four live dealer casino games.

  Sky Poker Deposit Methods

  As Sky Poker is only focused on the UK market and does not accept players from the United States or Canada, they do not have the extensive array of deposit methods that many other online poker rooms do. That said, any player in the UK will be able to easily deposit using their Maestro, Laser, MasterCard, or Visa. This includes both debit and credit cards, and players are also able to withdraw their winnings back on to the card.

  There are a small number of eWallets accepted at Sky Poker, however the three that they accept are the three most popular in England: NETELLER, Skrill, and PayPal. To deposit with an eWallet simply click on “deposit funds” and you will be taken to the eWallet screen, (such as Skrill), which will ask you for your password, and a security number will appear on the screen. Simply enter the details and click “Login”. Then just follow the instructions, choose the amount you would like to deposit and click “Confirm”.

  The minimum deposit is £5 and the minimum withdrawal is £10. All deposit methods should be processed immediately and the funds will be available for wager in your account in less than one minute.

  To withdraw funds from your Sky Poker account click “Withdraw Funds” on any of the pages, including those in the Sky Vegas casino or the Sky Bet sportsbook. Select the payment method that you would like to process the withdrawal to, enter the amount, and click “Withdraw Funds”.
