Do you prefer playing poker via desktop client or browser?
If you don't like web-based poker, what's the reason?
 
I prefer to play on a downloadable version, because it's easier to multi-table. I like to tile my tables whenever I play more than one table.
 
Even though, I have tried both and both are good in their own ways, I prefer web based poker as downloading will take space on my device.

What if you could do multi-tabling on browser like attached image?

I have always preferred download versions. You have many more options with download versions. Also, many browser based softwares have major security flaws that are not in download versions. And I can't be on facebook, etc and play poker unless I have different windows open when I am on browser based poker. Lots of reasons.

Can you give me examples of options you see on downloadable softwares that are not available on browser?
 
Downloadable poker software usually has much more to offer in every respect. It offers better performance, better security than the web-based poker. I appreciate the flexibility and customization offered in downloaded versions.

The downloadable poker software provides a more compressive experience with better performance based on my experience and apart from that, I got attracted to it because of its customization option.
 
I prefer website based poker because it is independent of my system while downloadable software sometimes affects the speed of my system.
 
I rather have a program on my PC, less chance of lag of connection issues with an involved browser.
 
I prefer web based poker, but a program works well too.
 
Download for sure, so that poker isn't subject to the whims of my browser acting up.
 
I prefer downloaded versions for mutitabling, to me the web based version has issues with the size of the tiles when multi tabling and you can make your tables different sizes on download version, for me that is my opinion. I much more prefer downloaded version.

We support both opening multiple tabs so you can adjust each table size AND multi-tabling in a single tab :D
 
I have always preferred web based pokers. I have multiple devices for home and office with different operating systems. That automatically implies that having a defined software installed for poker on my home PC would prevent me from playing poker on my work PC which is Linux. I prefer the web based browser that I can play at anytime I can access a browser.

web-based poker is the future!
