The largest poker room in the world
Party Poker is by far the largest online poker room in the world with over 50 % of the market. In total more than 40,000 real money players visit Party Poker during peak hours. Many of these players are beginners and gamblers, which means that you always will be able to find loose games with weak competition - this is true for both ring games and tournaments and for all the major playing forms, Texas Hold'em, Omaha and 7-Card-Stud. In fact, there are soft games where the stakes are as high as $30-$60. More unusual playing forms, like Draw Poker and Crazy Pineapple, are not available at Party Poker.
Great bonuses for loyal players
Despite the constant flow of players, Party Poker greatly rewards their loyal customers. Frequent player points are given out and there are many re-deposit promotions and other special offers for the regulars. Party Poker also has a membership referral scheme. The biggest event hosted by this room is the annual PartyPoker.com Million, but there are loads of other tournaments and many of them are played with fixed limits.
Improved software
The software has been one of Party Poker's downsides but after several upgrades it's now up to scale. It still might not be the most visually appealing but the games run smoothly despite the large player volume and the functionality is good. You're allowed to play at four tables simultaneously but some vital information, like view flop percentages, are missing in the lobby. The personal statistics are a bit basic but include a player notes function and work rather well.
