Party Poker Review
The Party Poker brand is one of the oldest in the online gaming industry. Having been launched in 2001, Party Poker instantly attracted a huge number of fans thanks to its continual innovation and commitment to keeping players happy.
Its growth was halted fairly spectacularly when the UIGEA bill forced them to pull out of the US market, but they have continued to market strongly and succesfully to European players and today offer a huge number of games, some excellent promotions and a great tournament schedule along with a great bonus for players registering an account for the first time.
Games available
Most of the high stakes action at Party Poker is limited to the Texas Holdem and Omaha games. At lower levels though, players can also get involved with Omaha Hi-Lo, 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo.
Games are aimed at players of all abilities with stakes ranging from $0.01/$0.02 to $250/500 in the ring games with table options spanning 6-max, heads up and full table.
Party Poker Bonus
New players who are depositing with Party Poker for the first time will be able to take advantage of a 100% match up to $/£/€500 when the use the bonus code PARTYDOWN. The release requirements are very straight forward too making this one of the easier bonuses to complete with the bonus being released in $10 segments.
Party Poker Tournaments
The first thing you'll notice when you register with Party Poker is that you'll be invited to take part in a number of beginner tournaments which are exclusively available to those players who have signed up in the last sixty days.
The vast majority of these are freeroll tournaments - indeed Party is one of the most generous sites out there when it comes to free poker, giving away over $100,000 in free cash prizes every month.
For those players wanting to pay for their poker, Party has a host ofSnG and MTT tournaments which start from as little as a $1 entry fee. The flagship tournaments include a weekly £300k Guranteed (held every Sunday) or the monthly $1,000,000 GTD held towards the end of each month.
On top of all that, Party run a number of satellites which send players to some of the largest live events in the world. For as little as $1, players can win their seats at various tournaments such as the WPT, Aussies Millions and WSOP.
Deposit/Withdrawal Options
Party offers its players a number of ways to deposit and withdraw their cash:
Deposit –Visa, MasterCard, Visa Electron, Switch, Solo, Maestro, EntroPay, NETeller, Moneybookers, PayPal, Click2Pay, Ukash, Western Union, Local Bank Transfer and Bank Wire Transfer.
Withdrawal – Visa, MasterCard, Visa Electron, Switch, Solo, Maestro, EntroPay, NETeller, Moneybookers, Click2Pay, myCitadel, Bank Wire Transfer, Cheque
Competition/Traffic
Despite having to pull out of the US market, Party Poker is still ranked as the third largest poker room in the world at the moment. Nearly 70,000 players can be found online at peak hours with 9,000 cash game players sitting round tables at peak European hours.
In short, you're not going to have a problem getting a game.
The competition you're likely to come across is also extremely loose, which is fairly suprising for a room of Party's size. A lot of the players at the lower tables are still learning the game and are therefore very soft.
Support
Party Poker have a very knowledgeable support team that is available to answer your questions on a 24/7 basis. This is generally done via email, although there is also free telephone support for those players in Canada, Australia, UK and France.
