Poker Room - The Perfect Choice For Mac & Linux Users

is a medium sized outfit which is growing in popularity all the time due to some hugely exciting recent promotions. As well as offering the standard sign-up bonus to new players, Poker Room are also currently throwing in a FREE World Poker Tour Qualifier Ticket, a free entry into a beginners-only tournament ("The Shark Cage"), three daily freeroll tournaments and the chance to enter The Online Series Of Poker for free (giving you a chance to win $100,000!).
