PARTY POKER REVIEW
Party Poker are licensed and regulated by the Government of Gibraltar, their games are tested by iTech Labs, an independent tester of gaming and wagering devices to ensure that the games are fair and operate correctly. Party Poker is the best place to play poker online, their website states. Whether you play Texas Hold'em, Omaha or 7 Card Stud, you can learn to play poker, enjoy cash games, and even arrange poker tournaments with your friends on their new and improved software. They've also made multitabling easier than ever, so high volume players should definitely check them out.
At the time of writing, Party Poker has the 4th best traffic out of all online cardrooms on the Internet. Back in the days when Party used to accept US customers, it used to be hard to join a Sit & Go as they filled up so quickly, but since they stopped accepting US players, the site suffered from considerably less traffic. As a result, they created a global advertising campaign focussing on the South American and Asian markets and nowadays their traffic is closer to what it used to be. We happily report that the Sit & Go'sare well populated and plenty so they fill quickly but it's not a hassle anymore to get signed up for one, the multi table tournaments attract huge fields which equates to big prize pools and plenty of action, their cash game tables are some of the craziest we found whilst reviewing a number of the top poker sites; we highly recommend trying their low stakes 6 seater cash games, we found some seriously bad players who were literally throwing their money away, in our opinion.
A major independent opinion poll of poker players found that it's easier to win at Party Poker than at any other online poker room, just open an account with them via a link on TakesAllSports and they will match 100% of your first deposit, up to a whopping $500. The bonus is broken down and delivered to you in ten bite size chunks, just play at Party Poker and you'll pick up slices of your bonus amount as you go.
Party Poker have listened to their players and have enhanced their reward plan by introducing new levels, better bonus and cash options in their online store and, above all, absolute clarity as to how they will reward you for your play. Collecting points is simple, you earn PartyPoints for all your real money play, your points balance is updated as soon as you leave a game, your PartyPoints can be spent in their PartyPoints Store which offers a huge variety of great value items; the more points you spend at a time, the greater the value you'll get for them.
Spread the word about the new and improved Party Poker and they will boost your account with a great cash reward. You'll get $100 for every successful referral, but be quick - this offer is for a limited period only. So tell your friends now that it's easier to win at Party Poker, just get them to sign up via a link on TakesAllSports and you'll get the cool $100, while they'll get $50.
As would be expected with one of the largest online cardrooms on the Internet, Party Poker have a wide array of depositing options. You can choose from Mastercard and Visa credit cards, PayPal, Neteller, Moneybookers, UKash, PaySafeCard, Entropay, MyCitadelWallet, Instant Banking, Click2Pay, Click&Buy, UseMyBank, bank transfer and wire transfer.
Party Poker have a rather well endowed FAQ section, brimming with their most frequently asked questions, you will probably find an answer to your enquiry there, unless it's about a current promotion. Other methods of contact are email and phone support. We sent a barrage of emails to Party Poker for no good reason other than to test their speed and accuracy of information, they passed both with flying colours. They have customer service phone lines for most of the major countries, the UK version being freephone and manned by well trained staff who either have the answer on the tip of their tongue or are only too willing to find out on your behalf.
It used to be possible to make a profit for Party Poker just by entering their low stakes Sit & Go's and folding every hand until you reach the money, then going all in every hand after that point; you don't get much clearer indicators that the majority of competition was feeble at best. Nowadays, the average online poker player is a bit more savvy, this has certainly been our experience, but we still feel that Party Poker is a great place to learn the game as the standard is noticably lower than on rival poker sites. Whether, you're a cash game player or you like your tournaments, we feel the opportunity to profit still exists at Party Poker.
