Party Poker is one of the biggest poker rooms in the world, with massive traffic, good game selection and a huge tournament line-up. Although it's no longer the absolute largest as it once was, promotions, tournaments and games are all top tier. On a weekend night, almost 80,000 people from all over the world can be found playing on their site. In the middle of the afternoon it is not uncommon to find over 40,000 players at the tables. Party Poker is also known to hold the largest Limit Holdem tournament in the world and is one of the many stops on the World Poker Tour. (Note: this poker room does not allow U.S. players).
Party Poker’s software takes a few minutes to download. They offer a variety of play money games, which is good if you want to learn how to play a different game like Omaha Hi/Lo. Setting up a real money account is simple. My preferred method to fund an account is Neteller. Within minutes the transfer is approved and you can begin playing right away. They accept all major credit cards, e-Passport, FirePay, IGM-Pay, and Western Union transfers. Within minutes of setting up a real money account, a customer service rep calls you to verify that you funded your account. This is part of their attempt to provide extra security for their customers.
Party Poker recently made an exciting change to their first deposit bonus:
Use the bonus code mansion to get 100% bonus up to $500.
The minimum deposit to receive this bonus is $25. This is one of the best first time deposit bonuses offered by an online poker room.
The bonus is released in five parts. For example, if one makes a $100 bonus, they will receive five installments of $20 bonuses. To clear this bonus, one must earn 5 PartyPoints for each bonus dollar
