As you can see, there is a small selection of online poker rooms where Linux users can play online poker. There is no catch, but the online poker rooms must be played using a regular internet browser such as Internet Explorer and FireFox. There is no download necessary to play at these Linux compatible online poker rooms.

What Poker Clients are Available for Linux Users?

Well, because of the low amount of Linux OS users, there are no online poker rooms that have a native download online poker software client for Linux. Fortunately, there is a loophole that Linux users can exploit in order to play online poker.

There are several online poker rooms that have Java and Flash poker clients. The only requirement to play at these online poker rooms is a regular internet browser. Players can then simply open up the online poker room in their internet browser and play against other players just as they would if they had downloaded the poker room onto a Windows based computer system.

There are sometimes very small differences in the browser based Java online poker room compared to the usual Windows PC poker room. Sometimes the Java client will lack some features such as multi-tabling capabilities or the display of all in percentages. The features that no download poker rooms lack are usually insignificant and will not have a dramatic affect on the Linux poker player.
