Can I ask will I be able to run the poker room on my MAC without running Virtualbox.  I


We would be hoping for a Mac version to be available around the time of the rebrand later in the year.  For the time being, it would be a case of Virtualbox or a similar product.

Congratulations to all involved! More the GNF side myself, but this seems like a great deal for both APAT and Matt :)

A Mac version is on the roadmap also I believe.  Once we get a better handle on what"s coming, we"ll start a developments thread on the forum to keep everyone aware.

That role is currently being contested at board level.  We have a serious skill base in the field of online flirting, but are considering retaining Tighty in a consultant capacity to ensure the live update flirting remains at the levels expected by relations of our members.   ;D

It seems a standard thing these days that online poker sites have "sponsored pros" and I fully understand that APAT is for amateurs so..................... (can you see where this is heading?)

I would like to be the first to offer my services to APAT as their "sponsored amateur"  ;D

As a Poker.co.uk regular, I am delighted with this new development.

It is great news for all parties. I am particularly pleased for Matt. He has always delivered great value for PCUK players. I will 100% be supporting this new poker room and will urge others to do the same..

I can see a situation where the player pays the site in this case!   :D

Now if everyone can do as Rob says, then the future will be bright.

Could I ask if the banking is run through Webdollar or is it standalone?

Also is there any rakeback available?

Many thanks and good luck

Just a slight concern over the possible shift of focus away from "amateur/community/player development" to more commercial & income driven, but already partly covered by Des in OP, totally understand the need for viability and happy to wait and see over coming months.

Could represent good opportunities. Big thanks to Tkay, Tighty and all those who"ve invested so much time and $ in the past and ofc in the future. Good luck with new ventures to all concerned.
