PartyPoker - Detailed Site Review

The PartyPoker platform is part of the PartyGaming Network, one of the world's leading online gambling companies. Their self proclaimed title of largest online poker room on the planet, however, is in jeopardy of being lost to Pokerstars. Still, Partypoker consistently has over 15,000 real money players during peak hours and, when including play money players, the mark has soared to over 100,000.

Cash game Texas Hold'em players often find PartyPoker their site of choice, as it offers the biggest selection of games on the net. Hosting limits ranging from $.5/1 to $100/200, Party always has a vast number of limit cash games, both full ring and shorthanded, running at any level. PartyPoker also offers a huge variety of No-Limit Texas Hold'em games, as well as an ample selection of other forms of poker such as Omaha and Stud.

For those who prefer poker tournaments, PartyPoker offers more selection than almost any other site. In fact, the only other online poker site that can compete with PartyPoker in this regard is Pokerstars. While Pokerstars offers more guaranteed tournaments, PartyPoker has more free poker tournaments, or poker freerolls. For new players, they offer daily poker freerolls with $100 and $150 dollar prize pools, and a monthly poker freeroll with a $5,000 prize pool. Also, they offer their regular players daily poker freerolls with prize pools ranging from $500 to $1,000. If you are a player that loves playing in free poker tournaments, you should create an account at PartyPoker.

While the PartyPoker VIP program isn’t as solid as other online poker sites, it does offer ample opportunity to win real cash on a regular basis. While Pokerstars and Absolute Poker set a structure followed by everyone, PartyPoker gives each individual player their own bonus determined by amount of past play. For some, the bonus requirements are very easy to meet, while for others, they are near impossible. Also, PartyPoker opened their player points store in early March and, while it is not as good as Pokerstars, it does offer some fantastic prizes.

Every year PartyPoker is host to the PartyPoker.com Million Hold'em Tournament, a World Poker Tour (WPT) event, which is played on a cruise ship the second week of March. This event was one of the originals on the World Poker Tour, and consistently gives away a top prize of $1,000,000 or more. Anyone can qualify for this tournament for as little as $6.

The biggest problem with PartyPoker used to be a less than stellar customer service department, but in past months this area has been dramatically improved. For those in the VIP program, support has been notably quicker and more efficient than in years past.

Neteller cash outs usually take 1-3 business days.

To date, Party averages around 90,000 active poker players during peak hours.
