Party Poker: PokerRing rating
Number of players: 12/15
Along with the iPoker network, Party Poker is the largest site that doesn’t allow players from the USA. Prior to closing its doors to the american public, it used to be the single largest site. At present there about 4,000 real money players online on average.
Bonus quality: 10/15
Sign Up Bonus up to $500. This Bonus is rather hard to clear especially at lower limits (NL50 and below). You have to play thousands of hands to clear the whole $500. Frequent players can exchange the Party Points for additional bonuses at all times, though.
Player quality: 12/15
A lot of very bad players at the lower limits and even the higher limits have a lot players that are looking to have a party and are throwing their money around. But whereever there are lots of big fish, there will also be numerous sharks fighting for their money.
Software quality: 10/15
+ Lots of hands per hour
+ Simple, eas to use lobby
+ lots of options for cashing in and out
+ Fast customer support
- Quality of customer support is often comparable to that of a chat bot
- Too much thinking time for players in tournaments
- Waitinglists for cash tables have been buggy for years
Bottom line
Party is the site for anyone looking for a fast and easy way to play poker. With the easy competition the site is also interesting for ambitious players. You should be able to tolerate a not-quite-perfect software and a not-quite-excellent customer support.
