Absolute Poker Launches New No-Download Texas Hold'em Poker

TORONTO -- Absolute Poker today announced the release of a Java version of their online poker product called Instant Play.  This makes Absolute Poker one of the first sites to offer Mac-friendly,
  any PC Texas Hold'em Poker for players around the world.

Instant Play enables Absolute Poker players to log in and play using the same username, password and balance anywhere and on any PC or Mac. Players on vacation or working from remote locations can now play anytime they want without cumbersome downloads.

"Instant Play will catapult Absolute Poker ahead of all competitors -- the poker community has been longing to play poker on any PC or Mac -- no other poker company has perfected Instant Play to this level," stated David Clainer, senior vice president for Absolute Poker. "Travelers, remote players and Mac users are largely underserved in this market and we've taken the necessary steps to accommodate them."

Instant Play can be accessed via the all new Absolute Poker website. Absolute Poker executives expect their no- download capability to increase existing poker activity dramatically as players can now log in from an airport lounge, office -- in fact from any location.

Instant Play caters to Mac users whose poker options were previously limited to one or two other sites -- some of which are not even available to US customers. Absolute Poker has the answer for all Mac users, who can now enjoy Texas Hold'em without having to download software.
