Party Poker review

Party Poker was established in 2001 as one of the first poker rooms ever available online. In the middle of 2015 it was placed seventh among all the rooms by the real money players traffic. The software has been downloaded 50 million times during the poker rooms existence!

This is a brand with a great history you can really rely on. In 2003 its management excellently responded to the poker boom beginning with an aggressive advertising campaign. This led to a massive players traffic increase. More than half of all poker players were playing at its tables in 2005-2006, traffic records were broken every month. The board of directors was planning to seize 80% of the whole market.

Party Poker had been an online poker flagman and dictated its own rules within the industry until 2006. But in 2006, after the US market closure, unlike PokerStars and FullTilt, the company had to leave the market and to forbid American customers to play for real money. Sites rivals, which went on accepting players from the US, managed to leave PartyPoker behind, but very soon they’ve paid for it with a terrible punishment - ‘Black Friday’. The team did it best and managed to survive.

Currently, PartyPoker is one of the best poker rooms worldwide with a huge number of players, superb freerolls and tournaments. Moreover, in 2009 it was named the Best Online Poker Operator by eGaming Review.

PartyGaming company had paid millions of dollars to the US government as a penalty for working during online gambling prohibition. In case the US market opens, Party Poker will become a leader in attracting new players.

March 2011 was a time of bwin and PartyGaming merge. As a result, bwin.party digital entertainment plc was set up, which became the largest company in interactive gambling. The stocks of the company are listed at London Stock Exchange, what proves PartyPoker and PartyGaming reliability. The united corporation is the owner of World Poker Tour tournament series and WPT Poker poker room.

Bwin.party motto sounds like “Let the whole world play properly”. Its mission is to become the leading digital entertaining company, which meets the market needs and demands and offers interesting and fascinating real money games to its customers.
