Overview
PartyPoker, which launched in 2001, is one of the original online poker sites, and since that day its superb software has been downloaded more than 30 million times! PartyPoker is the largest non-U.S. serving online poker site in the world and the second largest overall. PartyPoker is really a name and brand you can trust.
In March 2011, PartyGaming and sports betting giant bwin merged to create Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment. The newly formed company became the world's largest publicly listed online gambling company.
PartyPoker has Quick Seat, a fantastic feature that lets you find exactly what you want when you’re ready to play. The software is crystal clear with tables that are super easy to customize and the Poker Lobby is easy to navigate.
PartyPoker’s Poker School will give you poker rules, tutorials on how to play, and give you all the tools you need to take a seat.
PartyPoker Bonuses and Rewards
PartyPoker and PokerWorks have a fantastic relationship, which is why we can bring you an exclusive bonus offer of $50 absolutely free — no deposit required — for all new players.
It is extremely easy to get your hands on the free $50 bankroll. All that is required are a few simple steps:
- Download the PartyPoker software through PokerWorks
- Create a new PartyPoker account and enter the bonus code "PWFREE50"
- Fill in the registration form in the PartyPoker cashier
- Return to PokerWorks and fill in our small registration form
- Check your email inbox for a confirmation email from free50@pokerworks.com
Once you have received the confirmation email, $20 will be placed into your PartyPoker account. You must earn at least 40 PartyPoints before you will be able to withdraw the free $20. If you do not earn 40 PartyPoints within 60 days the initial $20, or whatever remains of it, will be forfeited. PartyPoints are earned at a rate of two (2) PartyPoints per $1 in rake or tournament fees so earning 40 of them within a 60 day time frame is very easy.
Once you have earned 40 PartyPoints a further $30 will be deposited into your account bringing the total free cash amount to $50. Please be aware that this $30 is in the form of a release restricted bonus and you must then generate another 160 points before the bonus is released as cash into your account. This must be done within 120 days otherwise the $30 will be forfeited.
Palladium Rewards VIP Program
PartyPoker has one of the best VIP/Loyalty programs in the industry. With the Palladium Rewards VIP Program, it is possible to earn the equivalent of 50% rakeback at the highest levels.
All new players start at the Bronze level but can quickly work their way to Silver, Gold, Palladium, and then Palladium Elite. The table below shows the points requirement for each level:

| Silver | 400 | - |
| Gold | 1,000 | - |
| Palladium | - | 9,000 |

Earning PartyPoints is easy. Players earn two (2) PartyPoints for every $1 they pay in rake on PartyPoker. PartyPoints can also be earned on any other Party product, including casino games, bingo, and sports betting!
Player Traffic
PartyPoker regularly has more than 20,000 players online at once at peak times, with just under 10,000 of them playing real money cash games. This is great for professional and recreational players alike because there will always be a game running at their chosen stakes. Even during slower hours of the day there are around 5,000 cash game players frequenting the PartyPoker tables - you'll find action around the clock.
Playability
The PartyPoker lobby is very easy to navigate thanks to the numerous filters players can apply in order to pinpoint the exact games they want to play. The lobby is also home to a number of great features that help speed up games and even aid those who want to play multiple tables at once.
The speed at which the cards are dealt is one of the fastest in the industry with short-handed No Limit Holdem cash games seeing more than 100 hands per hour; it is very easy to log a lot of volume in a short period of time.
Unlike the majority of online poker sites, PartyPoker offers a Windows, Mac, and Linux client and for those who do not want to download and install programs you have the option to play in a browser!
