As of right now, Bwin Poker does not produce downloadable software that is directly compatible with the Ubuntu operating system. In fact, there are no major online poker sites currently making Ubuntu poker software. However, this does not meant that it's impossible to play Bwin Poker with Ubuntu. In order to do so, you must install Bwin Poker under Wine, which is a virtual Windows emulator designed to work under Ubuntu. This process can be challenging for novice Ubuntu users.

Installing Bwin Poker Ubuntu

As mentioned previously, you cannot install Bwin Poker into Ubuntu directly. Instead, you'll need to first install Wine and then install Bwin Poker Ubuntu into it. Follow the steps below to get Wine up and running on your Ubuntu computer.

  1. Open Synaptic within your Ubuntu operating system.
  2. Click on Repositories under Settings. Click on Universe to make sure that it's enabled.
  3. Search for the keyword Wine and mark it to be installed.
  4. Click Apply.
  5. This should install Wine on your Ubuntu computer.

Next, you'll need to download and install the Windows version of Bwin Poker into Wine. You can do this by following a few simple steps.

  1. Go to Bwin.com.
  2. Click on Poker in the top menu.
  3. Click on Download Now under PLAY ONLINE POKER.
  4. You'll be prompted to log in to your Bwin account. If you don't already have a registered account, you'll need to make one.
  5. After the Bwin Poker Ubuntu download has completed, install it under Wine by double clicking the application and following the onscreen instructions.

If the process has worked correctly, you'll have a full Windows version of Bwin Poker running on your Ubuntu computer. Bwin Poker Ubuntu will give you complete access to all of the features found at Bwin Poker including cash games, tournaments, multi-tabling, promotions and more.

Bwin Poker Ubuntu Issues

Any time you run a software program under an emulator, you create the potential for problems and issues. Using Bwin Poker Ubuntu under Wine is no exception. Although many Bwin Poker Ubuntu users experience a flawless poker program, it's possible that you'll run into some glitches such as graphical lag, animation problems, sound errors and more. These problems occur because Bwin Poker is designed to be used with the Mac and Windows operating systems exclusively. If you need help with your Bwin Poker Ubuntu problems, you'll need to consult Internet forums and Ubuntu help services. Bwin Poker does not officially support the Ubuntu operating system and their customer support staff may not be equipped to deal with Bwin Poker Ubuntu problems.

Bwin Poker Ubuntu No Download

If you're experiencing problems with the downloadable Windows version on Ubuntu, you might consider trying the Flash-based no download version of Bwin Poker. Although this version is also not specifically designed to work with Ubuntu, it does support Linux, Windows and Mac OS. On most Ubuntu computers, you should have no problem running Bwin Poker no download. You can find this version of Bwin Poker Ubuntu by clicking the Play Instantly link just above Download Now. The best part is that you won't have to download a single thing to your computer, and you should not even have to install Wine. It is advisable to use Internet Explorer when playing Bwin Poker Ubuntu no download.

It's hard to say whether a major online card room will develop poker software that works natively with Ubuntu. Of course, this will depend on the level of demand and the popularity of the Ubuntu operating system. In the meantime, you can enjoy real money online poker play through Bwin Poker Ubuntu using Wine.
