PartyPoker

PartyGaming has been in business for 13 years and is now recognized as one of the veterans in the world of online gaming. The company’s poker site, PartyPoker, has been a favorite of online players for just about as long.

While PartyPoker is the company’s lead site, there are actually five gaming sites in the Web-based operations. With the word “party” in the title, new visitors might think the poker site or others sites are all about having fun. But quality isn’t given the short straw at this location.

Fun Yes, But…

There is no doubt that at PartyGaming and PartyPoker there is plenty of focus on enjoyment. But players will find excellent software, nice graphics and nearly every poker and casino game they want.

PartyGaming is licensed and regulated by the Government of Gibraltar. The PartyGaming software systems are tested by iTech Labs, “an independent tester of gaming and wagering devices.” Words like “reliable” and “integrity” have been used to describe the software and general gaming at these sites.

PartyPoker has long been a leader in online Texas Hold ‘Em play and also offers a number of other poker varieties. Independent polls of online players have reported that it is “easier to win at PartyPoker.com than at any other online poker room.”

Smooth Operator

Software download is comparatively easy and the installation process moves smoothly. Some new visitors will find that it takes a few seconds for an older version of PartyPoker software to update to the newest version. Account registration puts an automatic match bonus at your disposal. The current offer is a $100 match bonus.

Dealing and overall table operation is smooth. It is certainly as efficient as any of the most popular rooms. New players may want to test drive the site with play chips. Color and design of tables and rooms is basic but very functional. Promotions like the bad-beat jackpot and the 40-percent rakeback in Palladium Rewards attract many players.

If you are beat holding quad 8s or higher you could get more than if you had won a big pot. Players gather PartyPoints at all the company sites and points are credited to the players account to be used at the Party store. New players will find that the site accepts most of the deposit methods available.

The site was recognized as “Poker Operator of the Year” in 2009 by eGaming. Blogs and forums among the huge PartyPoker community make the experience even better.
