Cannot download Bovada software. After using it for a year or so, it started getting weird, so I trashed it and have not been able to download it since. My security is set for all. It downloads, but then the message comes that it isn't right for this

Have a three yr old Mac Air and using Yosemite 10.10.1. Have used Bovada Poker software successfully for a long time. But it began to get weird so I trashed it. Now when I download, there is a white icon over the Bovada icon in the app folder and the message "You can’t open the application “BovadaPoker.app” because it is not supported on this type of Mac."

Bovada doesn't seem to be able to help, although they acknowledge that some Mac users are having this problem. Is it Yosemite? What to do?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Forgot to say that I've set the security to allow all. Have you spoken to anyone at Apple about this? My three year support plan just ran out in Oct:(

Wait for the app developer to come up with a fix if you don't have a backup of a working copy of the application.

Had the same problem...

Saw some other (ssh) broblems beind discussed and tried the fix for them and it fixed my "You can’t open the application “BovadaPoker.app” because it is not supported on this type of Mac."

Try this

cd /Applications/BovadaPoker.app/Contents/
sudo chmod g+rx BovadaPoker

Look for another Yosemite compatible Poker application. The Bovada developer will need to determine his code compatibility with Yosemite, apply fixes, and recompile with current compilation tools. S/he may have decided not to go there.
