Editor's Verdict:

PartyPoker is one of the biggest, most popular online poker sites on the web. Being home to some of the internet's most popular poker tournaments means it attracts thousands of players at any time of day playing a wide variety of different styles. The range of tournaments on offer is great, with lots of examples of innovative and novel rules and structures. This means pro players have the opportunity to win really big money, but newcomers aren't left out either with a range of generous freerolls and a rewarding bonus scheme. Whatever level of player you are we are certain you will find something to suit you at the excellent PartyPoker.

Signing up and playing at PartyPoker couldn't be more simple. There is a link on practically every page which will allow you to download the client and get started. Once you have this installed (or if you opt to play via the browser-based client) the software will lead you through the sign up process and give you the option to make an initial deposit. If you don't want to make a deposit right away (which is probably sensible unless you have money to burn!) you can take a stab at the play money tables to get to grips with the rules of poker and see how the client works. Trust us when we say that you would be hard pushed to find a client that works better as PartyPoker's is extremely intuitive to use. At the same time there are plenty of “power user” features in case you want to play at multiple tables at the same time or keep notes on your opponents.

As we have already mentioned, PartyPoker hosts some of the most popular tournaments on the internet so it attracts a lot of the top players. If you think you know how to play there is real opportunity to win huge, huge prizes in tournaments like the monthly 1 million dollar prize tournament – one of the biggest we have ever seen! There are also plenty of other regular high value tournaments, but we have warned you that they really do attract some top talent! If you don't feel confident taking on the big guns there are also plenty of mid-sized and smaller tournaments to take part in and build up your skills. One of the neatest features we found though is that in any cash tournament there is an option for the last few players to make a deal to split the pot so that everyone makes a profit. We haven't been close enough to winning to see if people actually use it, but it's a nice thing to have!

The PartyPoker reward scheme is very well structured and can be extremely profitable whether you play every day or just once in a while. You earn PartyPoints for playing in real money games or entering real money tournaments and these define the level of bonus you can expect. PartyPoints are shared between all the other sister Party sites too so you can add to your total by playing at PartyBingo or PartyCasino. The amount of party points you build up over a certain time define your 'key' level which sets how much bonus you get. Key levels are calculated monthly, but there are also two extra levels which are calculated per quarter and offer the best rewards. When you hit a key level you can swap your points for a certain number of points to spend in the store or for cold, hard cash. Depending on your level you also get cashback on anything you convert so in theory it's possible to get up to 40% rakeback if you play your cards right, so to speak!

We would highly recommend PartyPoker to anyone at any level of poker skill who is looking for an easy to use and profitable online poker site. PartyPoker is constantly innovating as well as making sure to keep doing the basics right, which justifiably makes it one of the most popular online poker sites out there. As with anywhere be prepared to put in the hours if you want to win big, but it's easy for anyone to have a lot of fun here and quite likely make a small profit too. Signing up and downloading the client is completely free so there's no excuse for not giving it a try right now!
