Looking to improve my game but frustrated by some sites' lack of support for Linux clients, I sent an email to the support for
PokerStars, one of the first online gaming sites I tried. The site's support team indicated that their client software would run on Linux under
Wine, and they even offered some help if I had any difficulty getting it to work. I tried it, and it worked perfectly for me under Wine.
...
I have since mailed a similar support request to many other poker rooms. None of the responses has been as informative, or encouraging, as the one from PokerStars, but given how successful the experiment was with the PokerStars software, I tried other sites as well. I was surprised how many sites worked well under Wine. In addition to PokerStars, the clients for
UltimateBet,
Fair Poker,
Party Poker,
ParadisePoker, and
Titan Poker ran well under Wine.
