Bet365 Poker is currently designed to operate on PC/Windows systems. However, Ubuntu players can access the Bet365 Poker games by two alternate means that are compatible with their Ubuntu system. Here, we describe the poker gaming options for Ubuntu players to effectively access all that Bet365 Poker has to offer.

What is Ubuntu?

Ubuntu is an open source operating system developed by a community of computer users for the global community. It is a system designed to be complete in itself. It contains laptop, desktop and server applications that will take care of email and internet needs, word processing, web server programs and more. As an operating system, its platform has been well-developed over numerous years. Security and server updates are issued every six months. It is a free operating system (as is Linux) for which users do not need to pay any licensing fees or upgrade fees.

Ubuntu itself is a word coming from the African community. According to the system developers at Canonical Ltd., its meaning is about community, signifying both I am what I am because of who we all are and humanity for others.

Playing Poker Ubuntu Style

Truly the community at Bet365 can appreciate the spirit of Ubuntu as large groups of players from all over the world access the games at Bet365 Poker. The first way to do this is by selecting the Instant Flash Play option from the Bet365 Poker homepage, giving players instant access to a wide selection of ring games and tournaments. These are available in real money or play money versions.

Ubuntu players using Instant Play still establish Bet365 Poker player accounts to track their Merit points for the VIP program, raked hands and hand history statistics. Once a player has an account, the lobby, cashier and settings are all similarly accessible within the instant play version as within the full version. Players benefit from getting quickly into games without waiting for software downloads or installation. Plus, a player can access the Bet365 Poker instant play games from any Internet-accessible computer.

Some limitations exist within the instant play version of Bet365 Poker games:

• Some features are not available to instant play poker users such as automatic table tiling during multi-tabling, in-game player search and saved buddy lists.
• Players can enter most, but not all tournaments from the instant play poker version.
• Adobe Flash Player 5 reports some bugs while running the poker games.

The instant play version on Bet365 Poker operates via flash play powering the games through web browsers. Bet365 poker games support these five browsers consistently:

• AOL
• Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and later versions
• Opera 9.01
• Safari 2.0 and later
• Internet Explorer from version 5.5 and on

Players should enable cookies for the web browser they prefer and make sure firewall settings will allow Bet365 to run on the computer without restrictions.

Becoming PC Compatible

Being compatible with another open source program, Wine 1.0.1, Ubuntu operating system users have another way to access Bet365 Poker games. Ubuntu users can install Wine and run the downloadable software client as a full program. Wine 1.0.1 is a PC emulator that lets users run full Windows programs on a computer with an Ubuntu operating system. Ubuntu forums recommend Wine for online poker players who would like access to software downloadable version for playing at the Bet365 poker room.

Players can follow these simple steps to install Wine and the Bet365 software on a Ubuntu computer:

1. Get a free download of Wine 1.0.1 from Wine headquarters website.
2. Install Wine on your computer and open the program.
3. Go to Bet365 and click Download Now to get the Poker client file and install it on your computer.
4. From Wine, open the file named "Bet365 poker.exe" to start the poker program.
5. Play poker games through the full version Bet365 Poker software.

Ubuntu players have options for regularly playing poker games of many varieties at Bet365 Poker. With a Bet365 Poker player's account, Ubuntu players can fully participate in the Bet365 community with real money deposits. They can play live games or tournaments and track personal statistics. Ubuntu players are welcome at Bet365 by utilizing the Instant Play games or by using Wine to run the Bet365 poker software for their gaming pleasures.
