Party Poker Review

Party Poker is a huge online poker site with great reputation, one that they must keep up since they are a publicly traded company – hence, a company you can trust more than others, at least when it comes to making better and/or safer moves in order to keep their shareholders happy.

Back in the day Party used to be the number one (1) poker room worldwide, but once they stopped accepting players from the United States, they went down in ranking and traffic, but not enough to take them out of the top three (3). Party also provides a complete channel of services to their players, such as online casino, online sportsbook, bingo, backgammon, and even financial trading!

Bonuses and Rewards

Party Poker’s initial deposit bonus is 100% up to 100 USD/EURO/GBP. You have up to 60 days to claim your bonus, which is done by accumulating poker points while playing poker for real money. The steps of course will require you to sign-up first, deposit into your account, and then play some real money poker games. Note, you will be able to play at any of Party’s other channels with the same player account – just another positive to Party.

Promotions

As you might imagine of a big poker room like Party, with a big budget to utilize, they do have a wide selection of promotions. As mentioned, their budget is pretty big, and as such, they can offer tournaments such as the Monthly Million, where players can join the qualifiers for as little as $1.

$100K worth of freerolls every month are also part of it, one (1) cent tournaments, and numerous ‘win a trip’ promotions, such as to the Aussie Millions, LA trips, and many others worth a good deal of money, and with the obvious potential of more money out of the live tournaments. Like many of the poker rooms with poker pros, Party also makes use of them, where players will be able to play against name such as Tony G, Mike Sexton, and Kara Scott within many others.

As mentioned once again, Party has a big budget for lots of promotions, too many to include here unfortunately, so make sure to go through out links to view these and to join them too.

Jackpot

Party Poker also has the Bad Beat Jackpot within their promotions, which pays out at their jackpot tables only. The poker room collects $.50 from every raked hand at these tables, and puts it aside for these jackpots. Once a player gets a bad beat – the victim will be awarded with 50% of the jackpot prize, 25% will go to the winner of the hand, and the other 25% will be distributed amongst the other players at the same table. So even if you are not part of that hand, by just being at the table you will be able to partake in the goods – so start praying for those bad beats all around…

Software

The software if a fast, crisp and reliable client, with great sounds –customizable too-, great hand histories, quick seat, statistics, multi-tabling up to twelve (12) tables, tiling and cascading, ‘hot hand’ alerts (such as for pocket Aces), and much, much more in terms of great features!

They are also Mac and Linux friendly, with a no-download client available.

Traffic & Competition

Now even though Party does not accept US players, and even though they are one of the biggest sites with lots of poker pros, their traffic and competition is pretty loose, mostly thanks to the massive marketing campaigns, which attract all the recreational type players; it is also thanks to the numerous micro and middle stake games available, and of course, the cross-channel services; when those sport better and casino bettors come from winning big, to playing it at the poker tables – good deal for those sharper players.

Party is currently number three (3) in worldwide traffic playing at their poker room.

Customer Support

One of the best things about Party Poker’s support is the fact that they offer help in twelve (12) languages, which is hard to find unless they are major rooms. They also offer a great 24/7 telephone service with lots of regional toll-free numbers for all players, and with a quick one (1) minute response rate. As for their email service, even though it might take some time, it is a great service too, with specific email addresses according to your topic and departments needed. Lastly, they have the live chat available too – in other words, the support you would expect from a top poker room like Party.
