Players living outside the US will be able to enjoy poker games at one of the most known online poker rooms today. Due to US legislation Party poker does not accept American players. Although Party was the best place to play online poker when they accepted US players, they are still going strong, with 9,500 real money players connected during peak hours.
Software
Party Poker has sleek software, which runs swiftly and securely. Party had a massive makeover to the software in September 2008, and with it came cleaner graphics, customized player avatars, and a live action preview. The software allows for up to 12 tables playable at a time and does so without many glitches. The lobby is resizable and very easy to navigate. From here you can also preview a table or search for a quick seat table. It is also compatible with Mac, Linux, and Windows. If you haven’t played Party in awhile don’t be alarmed by the new look. Give it a few tries, it won’t take you long to get used to it.
Bonus
Party Poker likes to offer new players a warm welcome. With a player’s initial deposit Party Poker will match it dollar for dollar up to a maximum of $500. Unlike other sites where it can take hundreds of hands to clear the bonus, the welcome bonus from Party clears pretty fast. When you create an account at Party Poker enter in the bonus code KHMPARTY for up to $500 free money and entry into some exclusive freerolls. Party also offers occasional reload bonuses to existing players. Every time you refer a friend Party will give you $100, as long as they sign up and make a deposit. They aren’t left out either, as PP will give them $50 for signing up.
