While Betfair Poker claims that it is only compatible with Windows machines, the poker program does indeed work with the Linux system. The nature of Linux software is its ability to adapt to both Windows and Mac programs. There are ways in which you can download and run Betfair Poker's software using your Linux system.

How Does it Work?

Linux is a free downloadable software that was officially produced in 1991 specifically to answer the problem of incompatibility between system specific computer software and the various other computer systems in existence.

If you would like to download Betfair Poker but you do not own a Windows-operating machine, it may be possible for you to download Linux for free on your own non-Windows computer. After you download the Linux system, you should be able to download and run Betfair Poker on your own computer. The Linux system uses Mozilla Firefox as opposed to Internet Explorer.

Steps for Downloading Betfair Poker

After you have downloaded your Linux software, the steps for downloading Betfair Poker will be the same as if you were downloading to a Windows machine. Follow these steps to ensure that Betfair Poker runs properly on your computer:

1. Visit Betfair Poker's website and click on the Download button.
2. To install, click on Save File and then the Install icon when it pops up. Betfair Poker will appear as an icon on your desktop.
3. Launch Betfair Poker and pick the size you would like to play in.
4. Create a Betfair Poker account and enter your personal information. You will be prompted to choose a username and password.
5. Login and choose your Betfair Poker alias (the name that everyone will see at the poker tables).
6. You can make your first deposit and enter any bonus code into your account information.

System Requirements for Betfair Poker

Just like when using a Windows system, there are certain system requirements that you must possess for Betfair Poker. These include:

• Graphics capability of 32MB/RAM.
• DirectX - Betfair will either automatically install DirectX on your computer or you can download it yourself.
• 9.15 MB of free space on your hard drive.
• 800 x 600 pixels of screen resolution and 16 bit color capability.

Running Betfair on the Linux System

If you are having trouble running Betfair's software on your Linux system, you can use the Wine program (which is downloadable for free from the Internet). Wine will work in tandem with your Linux system to run Betfair Poker's program smoothly on your non-Windows machine.

After you download Linux onto your computer system, you should be able to play Betfair Poker's games and tournaments with the same ease as if you had a Windows machine. Some of the poker room's graphics could look slightly different when using Linux, but when used in conjunction with Wine software, Betfair Poker's software will work properly on your Linux system. This makes Linux a great option for non-Windows users who want to play at Betfair Poker.
