Downloading Mansion Poker requires at least 30 MB of free disk space, minimum Windows 98, 128 MB of RAM, and a screen resolution of at least 800 by 600 pixels. There is currently no support for Macs.
When I tried downloading the software, I had trouble at first. The first several times I attempted it, it told me it could not complete the download because I was either offline or the server was too busy. They placed a temporary icon on my desktop and told me to wait a few minutes and then click the icon to try again. I did as they suggested a few times, and after a couple tries, it worked and the rest of the download was painless.
To view any of the tables, you must register yourself. To register, you need to provide your first and last name and an email address. You will be asked to select both a username and a poker room nick name. These names can be different if you so choose. They will also ask you go select a location, but you don't have to unless you're planning on playing with real money.
To start a real money account, there are a few additional questions. You must give them your date of birth, your gender, address, and phone number. At this point, you must identify your location. When it comes to currencies, there are 13 of them to choose from (but keep in mind that all the games in the lobby are US dollars). The Mansion client is now available in English, German, Spanish, or Swedish and they are constantly working on adding more languages.
