I've noticed people comment about not being able to play at poker stars with their macs. This morning it showed the download available for them when I logged on.

Is this for real money? They have had a beta going for a while, but it was only play money...

The beta version is PLAY MONEY ONLY
once all the bugs are worked out the .com version... real money will be released. Probably in a couple months. I've played the .net version on my mac
and it works real good.

Incorrect. I'm currently on vacation and have been playing for real money at Stars on a Mac for the last 3 days!

Dude no way..
I've been playing at pokerstars for a year on my mac BUT with a virtual machine and windows software. Not with the beta software which is .net only.

Anywho I just emailed support and when I get the official word from them I will update this thread.
Are you sure your not using a virtual machine, or parallels or boot camp ???
Are you running an Intel or power PC mac.

No idea -- not familiar with Macs. It's a big monitor with a wireless keyboard and mouse but no other accessories.

Pokerstars.net has troubles registering user accounts from certain countries, presumably because of the address set up. I live in Japan, and it took me a few days and countless e-mails with support (none of which were very informative, accurate, or helpful) before I realized that I just had to leave the address out completely or it wouldn't let sign up.

Problem was not mac-specific, I got the same exact symptoms and error message when I did it from my PC, though Pokerstars.net support staff came up with some pretty interesting theories.

Getting there

The Mac beta is for play money only. However, the more Mac players show and interest, beta-test, and provide feedback the better our chances of having a final release for real money play.

If you go to pokerstars.net and download the mac version it will be play money only. If you go to pokerstars.com and download the mac version, it will be for real money.

You can play real money on the mac version, just have to make sure you are using the right one.
