There's no question; PartyPoker.com is one of the most prominent players in the online gambling industry today. Once recognized as the largest poker room in existence it has dropped a few popularity points due to recent U.S. legislation causing a decrease in the amount of traffic it hosts. Had it not implemented a ban on all players from the United States there's no telling how large its market share would be today.
PartyPoker.com recently upgraded its bonus offer for FTR members! This new offer is a huge 100% on your initial deposit up to $500! PartyPoker.com has one of the most easily cleared bonuses around. To clear a bonus (receive the money in your account) all you need to do is complete the requirements Party Poker has set and the money will be released to your real money account.
When installing the software, be sure to type in the Party Poker bonus code FTR500 so that Party Poker will automatically credit your account the proper amount for the bonus. You can earn 100% of your initial deposit up to $500. This means that the most you can earn with the bonus is $500 total. To earn the entire $500 you need to make a deposit of $500 (100% * $500 = $500 bonus.) If you decide to deposit less than $500 you may earn 100% of whatever your deposit amount was.
Clearing this bonus is cake, just collect 8 times as many PartyPoints as your total bonus. So $500 would require 4,000 PartyPoints. The bonus is released in 10 parts, 10% each time. So every 500 PartyPoints would send $50 into your account.
Earning PartyPoints depends on what stakes you are playing. Basically, the higher the play, the more you earn, as you would expect. But it is pretty top heavy - at $.5 - $.10, every 20 raked hands would award you with 1.25 PartyPoints, and at $.5 - $1 every 20 raked hands and you collect 5 PartyPoints. However if you play $5 - $10, every 20 raked hands awards you with 16 PartyPoints. This keeps going up and up, so obviously the higher you play the faster you will earn. The bonus expires in 120 days so make sure to clear it before then!
In addition to clearing the deposit bonus, PartyPoints are now worth more than ever. Party Poker now has a cash back (works like rakeback) program built into their VIP rewards. It works like this – Play and collect PartyPoints, the more PartyPoints you collect the higher your VIP level, the higher your VIP level the more cash back bonuses you collect. By reaching the top tier, you can earn up to 40% cashback! Yes, that works just like Party Poker rakeback, built right into their VIP program!
Update:
1. PartyPoker has eliminated first time deposit fees for ALL deposite methods!
2. Also, ALL deposit fees for the "*iDeal*" deposit method have been removed for both the first time and all subsequent deposits!
Remember to use the Party Poker bonus code FTR500 when signing up to be credited the bonus amount to your bonus account!
