PartyPoker review

Party Poker was the first ever truly large-scale online poker success story. During the 2003-2004 online poker boom, the site has experienced never before seen growth. Players flocked to its tables, and it was THE destination for US based online poker players. The traffic volumes made it the biggest online poker operation, ahead of Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars. The 2006 UIGEA pretty much ended that domination though. Hit dead on where it hurt the most – its US player base – Party Poker has become a mid-pack poker operation from one day to another as it stopped accepting US based traffic. Party Poker has tried a range of various approaches to get rolling at full speed again. It replaced its aging software, one of its owners paid out an abusively large fine to the DoJ, and they tried to switch to a European-targeted approach. All the while however, the poker room’s representatives have been negotiating with the DoJ, in regards to a possible return of the online poker operation to the US market.

Despite the losses suffered on account of the UIGEA, Party Poker remained a solid operation. Its newly revamped software a true whooper, it has actually started a network of its own, which currently only includes a few sites, but which keeps on growing every day.
The new software is a true masterpiece. It caters to all the needs of a modern online poker player. It supports multi-tabling, not taking on the opposition, etc. Party Poker’s sign-up bonus is a 100% one up to $100.
