Some poker sites offer no download versions of their game for Linux players, while other rooms work well using WINE. WINE can be downloaded for free and allows players to run Windows applications on their Linux systems. With that said, some rooms perform better on WINE than others. Here are our favorite poker rooms for Linux players, plus bonus information for real-money players. Check out the new bonus at Pokerstars…they’re finally offering new players a big bonus!
#1 – Pokerstars Linux Using WINE
US players welcome. Pokerstars is the worlds largest poker room and it works well for Linux players using WINE. With over 200,000 simultaneous players during peak hours, this room offers anything an online poker player could ask for. They have far more tournaments than any other poker room, have an extremely wide selection of poker games, and constantly offer new promotions. Step by Step Process for Playing at Pokerstars on Linux.
If you already have WINE installed, the next step is to write down Pokerstars marketing code PSA1042 and bonus code Stars600. Pokerstars requires players to use both codes to get their bonus, which is currently 100% up to $600. This is the new bonus that started in August ‘09 that everyone is excited about. At this point no expiration on this bonus has been announced, but considering that Pokerstars ran their $50 bonus for so long, it’s smart to get this while it lasts. If and when it expires, we will report it here right away. In the mean time, this bonus is still available to all new players.
