Play Poker directly in your web browser

With our new browser based version you don’t need to download or install the software. This means that you can play poker from any computer connected to the internet, directly from our website.

It is the perfect solution when you are playing somewhere else than at your home. The browser based version has the exact same functions as our downloadable poker client version. What’s more, whilst the download version currently only runs on Windows, the browser version is fully compatible with macintosh and Linux systems.

To start playing poker in your browser simply click on the button below.

Please note, the first time you run the browser version it will take approximately 1-2 minutes for it to start. A security certificate will also pop up the first time you run the browser version and we recommend that you click always so as to avoid receiving this pop up each time you launch the browser version.

What happens when the web client is started?

The web client will be downloaded in the background to the local computer and automatically started. It doesn’t need to be installed. The first time the web client is started the size of the downloaded files is about 5 Mb. This information is stored in the cache and the next time the user starts the client (from the same web page) a check is made to see if there is a new version, if not the cached information will be used and no additional download is needed.

Does it support other platform than Windows?

Yes, there are multiple platforms supported, see System Requirements below for more information.

You have previously been running the web client but when you want to start it again you cannot find the installed program?

The Web Client is not installed as an application on the user’s computer and has no installed program visible in the start menu (example from Windows). It has to be started from the web page.

Security – How is the web client executed?

The web based poker client uses a signed applet which lets the applet act just like the downloadable poker client after the user has agreed to trust the signed code.

Are there functions not present in the web client that exists in the downloadable client?

It is not possible to save passwords with the web based client. Also, it is not possible to save user notes when using the web client

Is the Java Virtual Machine automatically downloaded?

If you do not have a Java Virtual Machine (JRE) installed and are using a browser named in the System Requirements below, you will be redirected to a download page where you can obtain the JRE. We have seen problems with certain versions of browsers that have problem with this functionality so we recommend the user in the System Requirements to have Java (JRE) installed before running the web client

Are there any problems with firewalls etc?

If the user has a firewall it has to be configured in the same way as the normal client.

Is the client automatically updated when B2B makes a new release?

Yes, updates will be automatically distributed to the clients. Usually you will need to restart your browser to apply the update.

What are the System Requirements for the web client?
