AUTHOR: Jerry "Jet" Whittaker TITLE: Party Poker Continues Rapid Growth - 7,000 Poker Players During Peak Hours DATE: 2:40 AM ----- BODY: Party Poker is the largest online poker room reviewed on this site. There
are usually around 7,000 real-money players during peak hours. They offer
plenty of ring games, single-table tournaments, and multi-table tournaments.
Bonus Use the following bonus codes to receive a bonus on your first
deposit at Party Poker: Basically, use 102BOSMAN if you are depositing $125
or more. Software While Party Poker's software is nothing earth-shattering,
it is quite fast. It is also fairly easy to use, though players may
experience some delays with loading the lobby screens. Cashouts this place
is great about cashouts. The first one may take a bit longer, but
afterwards, the process is very quick (generally 24-48 hours through
Neteller). If you have the highest level of player status, cashouts to
Neteller routinely come within 6 hours. Table Statistics They only display
the average pot size in the ring games, which is very frustrating. All in
all, they provide you with little information about the games. I recommend
watching the game for a minute or two before joining to see how loose
everyone is playing. Competition Level
The competition is somewhat soft at Party Poker. There are thousands of
players at this site. Many are beginners or casual players, but some are
seasoned professionals. The games here are easier than at most sites.
However, the games are harder than they once were. Customer Service They
have both email and phone support. Email support can sometimes take a
frustratingly long time, and they don't always answer your question. The
fact that they have phone support is nice, but some of the agents are not as
helpful as you'd hope. --------
