PARTY POKER REVIEW

Party Poker Review

Party Poker has been around for nearly a decade now, established in 2001. Through software innovation and a commitment to customer satisfaction, the online poker room instantly drew a hefty fan base and never looked back. Party Poker is not a part of any other poker network, yet has managed to attract one of the largest active player bases in the business, and a mighty loose one at that, especially in lower stakes Hold’em and Omaha games.

Party Poker averages nearly 70,000 players at peak hours, presenting a massive tournament schedule and plenty of good promotions. The online poker room has even released separate download poker clients compatible with PC, Mac and Linux.

Party Poker Bonus

Party Poker offers all new members a 100% up to $/Ł/€100 welcome bonus on the first deposit. This is actually one of the lower welcome offers in today’s online poker world, but we are glad to say the release requirements are pretty easy. You’ll need to earn poker points that equal 6x, 8x or 9x your bonus amount, depending on the deposited currency. USD = 6x poker points, EUR = 8x poker points, GBP = 9x poker points. The bonus releases in $10 portions, so USD depositors would need to earn 60 points to release every $10 of the bonus; 600 points in all for a $100 bonus.

There is no bonus code required to receive the Part Poker welcome bonus. You’ll just need to download the software (available for PC, Mac or Linux), register a new player account and make a deposit using any available payment method.

Party Poker Games Available

Party Poker cash games include Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo. Full tables, 6-max and heads-up games are all available. Stakes range from $0.01/$0.02 to $250/$500.

Party Poker averages over 9,000 cash game players at peak European hours, which means all poker game variants see plenty of action. Low to mid-level stakes are always occupied, often with extremely loose competition at that. High stakes games are mostly confined to Hold’em and Omaha.

Party Poker Tournaments

New players at Party Poker will find a collection of beginner tournaments exclusive to players who signed up in the last 60 days. Party Poker hosts $30,000 worth of New Player Freerolls available. There’s also a weekly $1,500 beginners freeroll. All told, more than $100,000 is given away in Party Poker freerolls every month.

Sit’n’Go tournaments start at $1 and $3, scaling up from there. Multi-table tournaments also start at just $1 ($0.80 + $0.20), up into the hundreds for bigger events, like the $300k GTD held every Sunday, or the monthly $1,000,000 GTD. Overall, Party Poker hosts more than $6 million in guarantees each month.

Being such a large online poker room, Party Poker is able to run numerous live event satellites that send players to major poker events around the world. For as little as $1, you can whittle your way through a series of satellites to win a seat in the WPT, LA Poker Classic and more.
