"On the move or on a Mac - it doesn't matter. With no download necessary, you'll be enjoying a hand of Holdem in seconds."

A No Download Poker Game Option

With Absolute Poker's No Download Poker game, you can play online poker anywhere that has an internet connection. Our no download instant poker games are browser based. This means you can play Mac online poker or enjoy the game on your Linux machine without having to install the Absolute Poker software.

In addition to single-table games, our no-download poker now offers multi-table poker tournaments. This means that you can choose to jump in or out of a cash game with our instant poker option, or you can take a bigger pot with an online poker tournament that will net you more money.

There's no need to download software and Absolute Poker Instant Play works on a wide range of browsers and operating systems, including Mac and Linux.

New players looking to join in the Absolute Poker action with no download can create a username and password and make a deposit with us to start playing for real money. When you create a new account with us and start your bankroll, you'll get a 100% poker deposit bonus of up to $500. Existing players who are currently using our poker software can enjoy no download online poker with us using their existing Absolute Poker username and password, and account balance.

Check back with this page frequently. Absolute Poker is dedicated to making the best no download poker experience for its players and we're updating it constantly. In the near future, we plan to add Omaha and Stud poker in addition to our no download Texas Hold ‘Em poker games

This restriction also applies to the downloadable version in that you can run at most one downloadable Absolute Poker application at a time. Please note that whether you choose to use the Instant Play or downloadable versions of our game, you can open several poker ring game tables at the same time.
