Party Poker is one of the world's largest online poker rooms with over
70,000 players. They cover almost 60% of the online poker market. Now
what this means to you as a poker player is that with the large number
of players and rooms you will never have to wait for a game, the player
quality is relatively poor compared to rooms like Ultimate Bet and
Poker Stars. As mentioned earlier start playing with play money and
once you get hold of the game you may jump to the real money game. They
have around 18,500 - 19,200 ring game players and 26,700 - 28,000
tournaments players live during peak hours.
Party Poker has some
great signup bonus offers, $25 extra, 20% extra up to $100 and free
entry to the partypoker.com million qualifying tournaments ($34 value)
with your first deposit. The requirements to clear the bonus is pretty
simple, you have to play 5 times the raked hands of the bonus amount
i.e. if the bonus value is $25 you need to play 125 raked hands. The
time period to finish the raked hands is 30 days. Party Poker offers
standard game variety like Texas holdem, omaha hi and hi/lo and 7 card
stud hi and hi/lo but does not offer 5 card draw poker and 1-on-1
tournaments. Limit Texas holdem game is the major traffic puller at
party poker. Remember these are only real money player statistics.
They
also have beginners live game tables reserved for new real money
players only. New real money players can play on these tables for 45
days after they have set up a real money account. Where to go? Just log
in to your account, go to the main lobby, click on the real money
heading and then select beginners. Then choose a table and start
playing. Following games and stakes are offered for beginners.
1. Game: Texas Hold'em
2. Limits: $.5/$1, $1/$2, $2/$4 and $3/$6
They
also have good round the clock customer service, including both text
and voice based. Party Poker also has a fairly good retention program
and they recently started the Player's club and we expect them to come
up with more programs soon. Good luck and play safe. :-)
