January Promotions at Party Poker

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

Despite pulling out of the US market a number of years ago, Party Poker has remained near the top as one of the best online poker rooms around. They’ve done this by maintaining excellent software as well as using solid promotions to attract new players. They have a couple new promos in January and February designed to start 2012 on the right foot.

If you are a fan of multi-table tournaments, you’ll love this: in January, all MTTs on the Party Poker download will have no rake! This means that the entire buy-in of each tourney will go straight to the prize pool. This started at the beginning of the month and will run all the way until 11:59 pm on January 31st. The last time Party Poker ran a promo like this was back in August of last year.

In addition to the zero MTT rake promo, there will also be a 100% deposit bonus so that you can pad your bankroll. If you are looking to play a freeroll, there will be a $50k depositors freeroll on February 5th at 11 AM ET.

Tournament players in February will have the chance to use the money they…

Bwin.Party Stock Recovers With Wynn Takeover Rumour

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

There haven’t been many beneficiaries from Black Friday, but the newly minted bwin.Party were expected to be one of the few. The result of a recent merger between Austrian gambling experts Bwin and longtime online poker giants Party Gaming, the duo became the world’s biggest listed online gambling group when they melded together earlier this year.

With the likes of Full Tilt and Absolute Poker shedding thousands of customers, the best euro poker sites were expected to pick up most of the slack. Instead, PokerStars has snapped up a large chunk of the floating player base, while bwin.Party has only seen marginal gains. This poor performance saw share prices take a massive drop, with worried investors shedding their stake in the company.

Over the last few days, the tide has finally started to turn. Since falling 45%, the bwin.party share price closed at 105.7p yesterday. The rise was largely due to a rumored take-over by Wynn Resorts. The Las Vegas casino conglomerate, owned by Steve Wynn, may pay as much as 170p a share for the online gambling company.

With the possibility of a sale in mind, financial analysts have begun recommending bwin.Party as a sound investment. Meanwhile,…

To win the huge prizes, though,…

Friday, May 20th, 2011

PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker are no longer US friendly poker sites, so their promotions must now target everyone else in the world. This article will focus on a live series taking place in Ukraine and brought to you by Full Tilt.

PartyPoker Big Game Features 48-Hour Cash Game

Friday, March 18th, 2011

So which version of the Big Game do you know about? If you have had the opportunity to download PokerStars recently, you probably know all about their TV show called the Big Game. Something that might surprise you to discover is that there is also a Big Game show sponsored by PartyPoker. Since PartyPoker isn’t open to Americans, it is not so prevalent in North America. The site is open to Canadians, however, so let’s show them all that they have been missing by not knowing about the Big Game show from overseas.

The PartyPoker version of the Big Game runs in Nottingham, and it consists of a 48-hour ring game marathon. It is safe to say that you haven’t ever played in a cash game quite like this one, though. A strange twist dictates that players must be voted off the table every few hours! The goal is to make as much money as possible in this game, but the catch 22 is that making too much might get you removed from the table!

PartyPoker, one of the best Euro poker sites around, obviously created this TV show to give their players a chance to sit with…
