Partypoker

PartyPoker is an online poker card room. Launched in 2001 by PartyGaming, the site has had up to 80,000 players logged-in and was the largest online card room until 2006. As of 2017, it remains among the largest online poker card rooms. The site was endorsed by Mike Sexton, the former host of the World Poker Tour television show. The domain partypoker.com attracted at least 3.6 million visitors annually by 2008 according to a Compete.com study. Today, the site is run by Entain and is available in 14 different languages. In addition to the worldwide partypoker.com, partypoker also offers dedicated separate networks for French, Italian, Ontarian, Pennsylvanian, New Jerseyan & Michigander players.

In 2011 PartyGaming merged with bwin to form Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment. In 2016, after a protracted bidding process between 888 Holdings and GVC Holdings, Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment accepted GVC Holdings' bid for £1.1 billion. In December 2020, GVC holdings changed their name to Entain in a global rebrand. Entain considered selling partypoker in March 2024, but changed their mind later that year.

The games include Texas Hold 'em (No Limit), Pot Limit Omaha, and Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo. The stakes can range from .01/.02 to $100/$200. In 2012 PartyPoker removed its high-stakes cash games with the highest stakes at $10/$20. By 2024, the highest stake cash games regularly offered were $5/$10.

Party Poker formerly offered a bad beat jackpot, as well as 7 Card Stud cash games.

PartyPoker also offers FastForward cash game format. Every player is automatically re-seated to another random table immediately after they fold their hand, or after the hand is over. This format is very popular by players and poker rooms. It is faster and offers a higher level of security as it is a lot more difficult for two or more players to participate in collusion.

The worldwide site offers a variety of scheduled and on-demand tournaments, with participant numbers ranging from 10 to thousands. Single-table sit & go tournaments are offered as well.

PartyPoker formerly hosted the PartyPoker Million. This tournament began with online qualifiers, but the final stages were held at in-person poker tables aboard a cruise ship. The winners of these Party Poker Million events included Kathy Liebert, Howard Lederer, Erick Lindgren, and Michael Gracz.

By 2024, PartyPoker was known for its many satellites, allowing qualifying players to participate in high buy-in tournaments for a fraction of the entry fee. Players could even qualify for the $5,300 PartyPoker Millions Online for a little as $0.01
