Party Poker is a charter member of the World Poker Tour and was one of the first companies to give their backing to the World Poker Tour.

They introduced a Super Sign up Bonus of 100% extra on the first deposit, up to a massive $500 on PartyPoker.com that you players cannot afford to miss.  This unique partial release bonus is available as:

•100% up to $500 Bonus  (USD)
•100% up to £250 Bonus  (GBP)
 

The conditions for Super Sign Up bonus are:

Bonus offer  Minimum deposit  Release criterion 
100% up to $500 Bonus $25 PartyPoints = 5 times the bonus amount
100% up to £250 Bonus  £15 PartyPoints = 10 times the bonus amount

•PartyPoints earned through play at PartyPoker.com only will apply towards the release restrictions of this bonus.
•The bonus is divided into 5 equal parts. Each part makes 20% of the actual bonus amount.
•The player should meet the release restrictions within 90 days from the date of first deposit.
 

Example:

A player who makes a deposit of $100 is eligible to receive $100 as a sign up bonus.  He has to accumulate 500 (5*100) PartyPoints to receive the bonus.  This bonus amount is divided into 5 parts of $20 each.  Every time the player earns 100 PartyPoints $20 of the total bonus amount will be released into his account.

Similarly, a player making a deposit of £50 will be eligible to receive a bonus of £50. He has to earn 500 (10*50) PartyPoints to receive this bonus which is divided into 5 parts of £10 each. As the player earns 100 PartyPoints £10 of the total bonus amount will be released into his account.

Party Poker has some of the worst players that you will find anywhere on the Internet. This is a good thing, because it means the competition is quite easy at the lower limits. As the limits go up, especially at the $5/10 game and above, the competition does increase, so only experienced players should try the higher limit games.

Party Poker’s software takes a few minutes to download. They offer a variety of play money games, which is good if you want to learn how to play a different game like Omaha Hi/Lo. Setting up a real money account is simple. My preferred method to fund an account is Neteller. Within minutes the transfer is approved and you can begin playing right away. They accept all major credit cards, e-Passport, FirePay, IGM-Pay, and Western Union transfers. Within minutes of setting up a real money account, a customer service rep calls you to verify that you funded your account. This is part of their attempt to provide extra security for their customers.

Party Poker recently introduced a Player’s Club where you accumulate points based on how many hands you play and how many tournaments you enter. These points can be exchanged for various Party Poker merchandise, or you can use the points to play in different Player’s Club Freeroll tournaments that give away as much as $5,000. You can also receive bonus points if you deposit additional funds, play raked hands for 20 or more days in a month, or if you play between the hours of 4:00 AM and 2:00 PM EST.

Party Poker is the 800-lb gorilla of the online poker world. It is the site against which all others are inevitably compared. Mostly this is because Party is by far the largest of the poker sites, having as many as 60,000 players on some evenings.

So it's no surprise that game selection at Party is outstanding. Any limit you want, they spread, from the micro limits to 10/20 no limit. And at each level there are dozens of games to choose from.

The tournament selection is also outstanding. They offer many low buy-in tournaments a day, and each night they run tournaments with buy-ins around $200 that draw hundreds of entrants. First prize is often in excess of $50,000.
