Bonus Code: BLACK100
SERVICE: 9
Party Poker is a leader in service among the online poker sites. They have a 24/7 live host that allows you to chat with a real person in real time, meaning your problems get solved instantly. This is one of the best features an online poker site can have. It is comforting to know that if you ever have a problem it will be fixed immediately and you'll never have to wait for emailed responses.
GAME SELECTION: 10
Party Poker has a wide array of poker games at their site. They have limit, pot-limit, and no-limit Texas Holdem, Omaha, and Omaha Hi/Lo. They have 7 Card Stud, as well as 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo. They have single table, two table & three table Sit & Gos. They have several large multi table tournaments every hour. They have a brand new "Steps" tournament system (where a $10 buy-in can become $100,000 six single table games later). They also have lots of other exciting games such as "Bad Beat Tables" where a bad beat can leave you $50,000+ richer. Limit games range from $0.5/1 to $100/200 and NL games from $5 NL to $5000 NL.

GAME PLAY: 9
Party Poker has good game play. The software opens quickly, the table windows are fast loading, and tournament statistics are refreshed in real time. It is also very rare to ever be disconnected while playing here, which is very important, especially for high-limit players where one disconnection could be costly. This site also has an extremely fast dealer, which is a huge plus (you get to see way more hands per hour this way).
PLAYERS: 8
DOES NOT ALLOW USA PLAYERS
Party Poker used to allow Americans, and when they did it was unquestionably the loosest site on the internet! Now that the site no longer allows USA citizens to play, the number of weak players sitting at the tables has gone down considerably. The ratio of fish (weak players) to good players is much lower at Party Poker than it was before - but even still, the cash games here are still fairly wild compared to most other poker rooms.
PLAY MONEY: 8
Party Poker has a fairly good selection of play money tables. Play money is much more competitive here then at other sites, and there is even a few high-limit play money tables filled with very strong players! Play money is so competitive here that it reguarly gets sold on eBay for ridiculous prices. There are, however, no multi-table play money tournaments here. Since USA players can continue to play for fun at PartyPoker, there is a much larger "free chips" community here at PartyPoker.net than at more other poker rooms.
INTERFACE USABILITY: 9
Party Poker has one of the best interfaces out there. I play as many as 6 cash tables at a time, and have never had the problem of accidently clicking the wrong button, etc. Making raises is extremely easy with the PartyPoker interface, and specify a certain amount to raise is very simple to do.
