PartyPoker Review

Created in 2011 by mother brand, Party Gaming, PartyPoker is the fourth largest online poker website as I write, and also hosts popular tournaments such as PartyPoker Million, the Power Series and Dusk till Dawn.

Available to play both online and as an app for tablets and smartphones, PartyPoker has a host of celebrity ambassadors including Boris Becker, Padraig Parkinson and Carl Froch.

PartyPoker is a highly customisable and easy-to-use online poker format where users can choose from a variety of themes, add their own customised avatar and resizable tables. There is also a very useful replay button that will animate your precious hand and synchronise breaks available, both of these are particularly useful for players who like to play multiple games at once.

Games are easy to find and the interface makes sending money to another player very simple. PartyPoker will also email you your hand and tournament histories, if so desired. The software is HoldemManager and PokerTracker3 supported. Recent upgrades to the software has also ensured that games are highly unlikely to crash or be subject to bugs.

Traffic

PartyPoker receives a lot of online traffic - around 4th overall - and therefore has an abundance of players. This means that users who want to play are highly likely to be able to play the stakes and games they are looking for. Indeed, there are so many players that you can easily play multiple games at once.

These stakes range from, for Texas Hold'em, $0.02/$0.04 to $25/$50 in no-limit and $0.05/$0.10 to $250/$500 in fixed limit holdem.

Tournaments

PartyPoker is home to a vast number of tournaments both online and at live events.

The Power Series is a set of weekly tournament held every Sunday including the Main Event, Featherweights and High Rollers. In the Main Event, players can buy-in to the tournament for $109 for a chance at a $150,000 win. Satellite players can reach the main event for as little as $0.01.

The Sochi Main Event tournament starts with two online opening days at the Party Poker website before further opening days taking place live at the Sochi casino. This event has a $1,100 buy-in and attracts thousands of players.

It's most famous tournament is the PartyPoker Million, a tournament that starts off online for the qualifying stages. However, the finals are held on a cruise ship.

Competition

Because of the large number of players on PartyPoker, there is a good level of competition for all levels of players.
