Traffic numbers for ring games and tournaments

Due to heavy marketing Party Poker has the highest number of ring game, real money players – 17,000-20,000 during peak hours. Regarding tournaments this room is even more dominant and hosts around 70 % of all Limit Hold’em tournaments in the world. During peak hours, 24,000-28,000 real money, tournament players visit this poker room.

House rake and tournament entry fees

The low limit rake is rather high at Party Poker – 10% in $0.50-$1 and $1-$2 games. However, in high limit games the rake is more favorable to the players. The general structure is the same when it comes to tournaments with a 20% fee in $5 games and an 8% fee in $100 games.

Selection of games and competition

Party Poker offers a good selection of games, but some playing forms are missing, like heads up matches, draw poker and pot-limit structure for 7-Card-Stud games and Omaha High. Many inexperienced visit this poker room and as a result of that you can easily find soft competition. Even in no limit games with $2-$4 stakes and limit games with $5-$10 stakes you will be able to find weak games and soft competition.

Software functionality and graphics

Party Poker has upgraded their software several times over the last years and it’s now undoubtedly up to scale. With new servers they have a capacity of 50,000 simultaneous players. You’re allowed to play at four tables at once in this poker room. However, the statistics offered are at a pretty basic level. You don’t get to see the view flop percentages or the hands per hour rate, only the average pot size of the last 20 hands is shown.

Loyalty bonus/promotions

Party Poker has a big frequent player points program and offers several re-deposit bonuses of 15-25% up to a $100 maximum. This room is definitely top class when it comes to promotions - the annual PartyPoker.com million is the outstanding event.

Support service and financial reliability

Party Poker has a 24/7 support system that works very well. However, for a quick response you should use telephone rather than email. This room is financially secure. Bonus code: TPST100
