Overall Review
Party Poker was established in 1997. Despite leaving the US market in 2006 Party Poker is still one of the leading poker sites in the industry boasting real money player statistics of 9,500 ring game players and 60,000 tournament players at peak hours in December 2011. Party Poker offers games of every variation and stake including Texas Holdem, Omaha and Seven Card Stud in all versions. Due to it's size action can be found at pretty much any game at any hour but the biggest events tend to be held at European peak hours. The competition is full of soft players, ridiculously soft at times especially in low stakes tournaments. Party Poker's promotions include a loyalty program where you earn Party Points which can be redeemed for cash, merchandise or tournament entries. Some of their other promotions include a huge bad beat jack pot, tons of daily freerolls and guaranteed tournaments, satellites to major live tournaments and other various challenge promotions that change from month to month. Party Poker had a major sowtware update in September 2008 making it downloadable for MAC, PC and Linux and it now offers tons of new features including crisper graphics, a quick seat feature, live action preview, customized player images and several enhanced multi tabling options. Overall Party Poker offers a great poker experience with tons of traffic, high value promotions and great game selection. |
