One is PokerStars, of course, and the other is\nPartyPoker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both rooms played a huge part in popularizing\npoker. It\u2019s fair to say that without them, the game would likely be much\ndifferent today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there is one big difference between\nParty and Stars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Unlawful_Internet_Gambling_Enforcement_Act_of_2006\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">UIGEA<\/a> was passed in 2006, PartyPoker decided to leave the US market, while PokerStars continued business. This helped grow the brand even further and become the number one online room that it is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PartyPoker moved to offer games to the rest of\nthe world and has always remained one of the top choices for serious grinders\nand casual players alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what about now? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This comparison review should give you a fairly\ngood idea of what to expect from both sites in terms of software, player traffic,\ngame selection, rakeback, bonuses, and much more. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, armed with all that information, you\u2019ll be\nable to make an informed decision about which room is the best option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Software: PokerStars vs PartyPoker \u2013 PS Wins (Only Just)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that you\u2019ll notice immediately about\nany poker room you choose is its software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re an experienced pro or someone\njust getting into the world of online poker, the design of the software &#8211; and\nhow well behaves &#8211; won\u2019t go unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PokerStars &#8211; Software <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to PokerStars, the company has\ndone a great job in this department.

One of them is the ability to throw emoticons at your\nopponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, PartyPoker isn\u2019t far behind PokerStars\nin terms of software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most players, there won\u2019t be too much\ndifference. You\u2019ll be able to set up both clients the way you like, and both\noffer robust filters that make it easy to find the games you want to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This category is close to a tie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PokerStars takes a marginal victory as its\nsoftware is more advanced in some aspects, but most players won\u2019t get to take\nadvantage of these. If you\u2019re really heavy on multi-tabling, PokerStars might\nbe easier to set things up the way you want them to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Game Variety: PokerStars vs PartyPoker \u2013 PS Wins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to popular game types, most\nplayers are after games like Hold\u2019em and Omaha. That\u2019s why most rooms focus on\nproviding these variations with maybe one or two extra options for those who\nneed or want them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PokerStars is the only operator out there that offers\nalmost every single version of poker you can imagine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the reasons why the brand is so\nstrong and why a certain segment of players remains so loyal to PS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond different versions of Omaha and Hold\u2019em,\nPokerStars also offers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Seven Card Stud<\/li><li>Five Card Draw<\/li><li>Deuce to Seven Triple and Single\nDraw<\/li><li>Eight Game Mix<\/li><li>Razz<\/li><li>HORSE<\/li><li>Badugi<\/li><li>6+ Hold\u2019em<\/li><li>5 Card Omaha<\/li><li>6 Card Omaha<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly, PokerStars is the place to be for all those who seek action in lesser-known and not-so-popular variations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"528\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-5-Card-Omaha.jpg\" alt=\"PokerStars games\" class=\"wp-image-23709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-5-Card-Omaha.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-5-Card-Omaha-148x98.jpg 148w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-5-Card-Omaha-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-5-Card-Omaha-418x277.jpg 418w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-5-Card-Omaha-190x125.jpg 190w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-5-Card-Omaha-480x317.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s also really good about Stars is that\nthese different games are offered across all sorts of stakes and often in both\ncash game and tournament formats, so you will surely find games suitable for\nyour bankroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PartyPoker is undoubtedly more mainstream in\nterms of available variations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to No-Limit Hold\u2019em and Pot-Limit\nOmaha, it only offers 6+ (Short Deck) Hold\u2019em. So, if you\u2019re an expert in a\ndifferent game or are looking to learn a new variation by playing, you won\u2019t\nfind what you\u2019re looking for here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PokerStars takes an easy win in this particular\ndepartment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If PLO and Hold\u2019em aren\u2019t your cup of tea, then\nyou really won\u2019t find much to do on PartyPoker. Of course, this isn\u2019t relevant\nfor the majority of players as most people gravitate towards these two\nvariations anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be completely honest, it does come as a bit\nof a surprise that Party didn\u2019t put in more effort towards creating a comprehensive\nplatform that would offer more variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being one of the oldest and longest-standing\nrooms around, it definitely has the technology, the know-how, and the staff to\nmake it happen &#8211; it\u2019s hard to understand why they wouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cash Games: PokerStars vs PartyPoker <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that Stars has much bigger player traffic\n(more about that shortly), the total number of cash game tables running at any\nparticular moment is almost always higher at PokerStars than on PartyPoker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond that, it\u2019s interesting to see what kind\nof stakes are on offer on both sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PokerStars has a great range of cash tables\nwith games starting as low as $0.01\/$0.02 for almost all game variations, or at\nleast for no limit and pot-limit games. This means that even players with very\nsmall bankrolls can get started here and slowly build their way up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the far end of the spectrum, Stars offers\ngames as high as $200\/$400. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tables are mostly empty, though, or\ninhabited by pros waiting for someone to sit down and play them. The highest games\nthat are actually active are $10\/$20, with some action happening at $25\/$50\nduring busy evening hours and on weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PartyPoker also offers an excellent range of\nstakes, from $0.01\/$0.02 up to $50\/$100. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it does seem that there\u2019s not a whole of action past $5\/$10. Occasional $10\/$25 games do kick-off but hardly often enough to make them viable for serious grinders who regularly play on these stakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Cash-Games.jpg\" alt=\"PartyPoker cash games\" class=\"wp-image-23713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Cash-Games.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Cash-Games-148x106.jpg 148w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Cash-Games-768x551.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Cash-Games-480x344.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Low to mid-stakes grinders are probably better\noff at Party because the room offers softer games and better rakeback. The\nnumber of tables running at any given point isn\u2019t that big, but it\u2019s still big\nenough for most players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, those looking to play higher than\nNL500 will probably have to stick to Stars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t seem there is enough action going on\nat higher stakes to allow for enough hands to be played during a session. Of\ncourse, because of other benefits, combining Party with another room could be a\ndecent option and provide better benefits than playing exclusively on\nPokerStars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fast Cash Tables<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever since Full Tilt Poker introduced Rush,\ndifferent speed poker variations became hugely popular and today are enjoyed\nequally by pros and casuals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allowing for faster action and more hands per\nhour, fast-fold games have their appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you might know, these are called <strong>Zoom<\/strong>\ntables at PokerStars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The room offers Hold\u2019em and Omaha tables with\nstakes from $0.01\/$0.02 to $25\/$50 for 6-max. There are also heads up Zoom\ntable starting at $0.25\/$0.50 and going as high as $50\/$100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re planning on playing Zoom, the action\nis available only up to PL\/NL500. All tables above those stakes are pretty much\na ghost town, and there are never enough people in the pool to have proper\nfast-fold action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PartyPoker offers Fast Forward, which is pretty\nmuch the same thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are only 6-max tables and no\nheads up action. Available stakes run from $0.01\/$0.02 to $2.50\/$5 with a much\nsmaller player pool than you can find on Stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast fold poker is an interesting variation that does require a fair few players to run as it is supposed to. From that point of view, PokerStars is a better option as 30 or 40 players in the pool like you might find on Party probably isn\u2019t quite optimal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Fast-Forward.jpg\" alt=\"PartyPoker speed poker\" class=\"wp-image-23715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Fast-Forward.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Fast-Forward-148x107.jpg 148w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Fast-Forward-768x553.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Fast-Forward-480x346.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, higher stakes Zoom games on\nStars are super-tough. I wouldn\u2019t suggest getting involved with NL200 or NL500\nunless you\u2019re really, really good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At NL500, especially, you might find yourself\nsitting across some of the best cash grinders in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Party isn\u2019t a walk in the park, either, but\ngames are softer by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tournaments: PokerStars vs. PartyPoker<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All tournament players know that PokerStars is\nthe place to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no other room that offers nearly as\nmuch action across all stakes, every single day of the week. Daily tournament\nschedules on Stars are enough to fill any players&#8217; day, no matter what their\naverage buy-in is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, PokerStars is also home to some of\nthe best-known events like Sunday Million and major online series like WCOOP,\nSCOOP, Micro Millions, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also features numerous satellites to live\nevents, especially for European Poker Tour tournaments. If you want to earn your\nseat in one of these, you can try your luck and skills on PokerStars and\npotentially build your way up from as little as $1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may not be a big deal for serious players,\nbut these opportunities attract armies of casual players over to Stars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They still come to chase their dream of making it big playing poker, and many of them actually manage to qualify for major EPT events, sometimes even making deep runs and reaching final tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"528\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-Tournament.jpg\" alt=\"PokerStars tournaments\" class=\"wp-image-23711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-Tournament.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-Tournament-148x98.jpg 148w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-Tournament-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-Tournament-418x277.jpg 418w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-Tournament-190x125.jpg 190w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-Tournament-480x317.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of all these elements has made\nPokerStars what it is today. When people think about tournament poker,\nPokerStars is the first room that crosses their minds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with the latest changes that many players\naren\u2019t happy about, Stars is still the absolute leader in this particular\nsegment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how can PartyPoker compete with that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, Party has done a lot to improve its\nschedule of daily and weekly tournaments so you\u2019ll find plenty of events to suit\nyou. The range of buy-ins is also quite substantial, so there is something for\nevery bankroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most significant difference between\nPartyPoker and PokerStars tournaments is that the former usually doesn\u2019t have\nguaranteed prize pools nearly as big. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Party doesn\u2019t attract the same number of\nplayers as Stars, so it can\u2019t afford to put massive guarantees on all of its\nevents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there are still some big tournaments\nsuch as PartyPoker Million, which is the room\u2019s answer to Sunday Million, but\nit inevitably falls short in these offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the flip side, the fact that guarantees aren\u2019t as big also means that tournament fields are smaller and more manageable. More experienced players will know this means lower <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/reduce-variance-in-poker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">variance<\/a> and more frequent cashes, which could be a nice thing if you have a smaller bankroll. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So for this, it\u2019s really about what you prefer\nand what you\u2019re most comfortable with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Spin &amp; Go vs Spins<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is hardly a poker player out there who\nhasn\u2019t at least heard of PokerStars\u2019 infamous Spin &amp; Go hyper tournaments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Envisioned as special 3-player sit &amp; go\u2019s,\nthese tournaments have a random element to them, as the prize for the winner is\ndetermined by chance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could be playing for just double your\nbuy-in \u2013 or 10,000x your buy-in (and anything in between).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spin &amp; Go\u2019s have been a huge success for\nStars. While regulars weren\u2019t too thrilled about the idea, casual players love\nit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chance of winning $10,000 in a $1 tournament against just two players (as small as it may be) is simply the stuff that dreams are made of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Spins.jpg\" alt=\"PartyPoker tournaments\" class=\"wp-image-23717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Spins.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Spins-148x106.jpg 148w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Spins-768x552.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Spins-480x345.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Not surprisingly, PartyPoker has its own\nversion of these tournaments, called Spins. The structure is very similar to\nStars\u2019 events, and the maximum prize is also 10,000x the buy-in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The level of play may be somewhat lower at\nParty, as some grinders have managed to master Spin &amp; Go\u2019s and now play\nthem regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you want to try this format, perhaps you\nshould give PartyPoker a chance.

Picking a site that has enough players to provide games around the\nclock is very important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to PokerStars, pretty much\neveryone knows they are the leaders in terms of player numbers. No other room\ncan really compare to Stars in player traffic as they can offer busy cash game\nand tournament tables around the clock and across all stakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PartyPoker is sitting in the 5<sup>th<\/sup>\nspot of PokerScout\u2019s rankings at the time of writing this comparison, with a\n7-day player average of 1,900 players. This is well behind PokerStars\u2019 9,600.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what do these numbers mean for you as a\nplayer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While PokerStars is clearly the room with much\nbetter traffic, that doesn\u2019t mean that Party isn\u2019t able to offer plenty of\naction as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find that PartyPoker is also quite busy,\nespecially during evening hours, and you won\u2019t struggle to find the games\nacross most stakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, to sum it up, although no room can compare\nto PokerStars in terms of sheer player traffic, PartyPoker is a solid alternative.\nUnless you want to play a crazy number of tables at higher stakes, you\u2019ll have\nno problems at Party.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Player Quality: What Games Are Softer? \u2013 PP Wins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The quality of competition is another essential\nconsideration when deciding what the best room for you is. Ideally, you want to\nplay on a site that has decent traffic, but where your average player isn\u2019t outstanding.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do Party and Stars compare in this\nparticular aspect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The general consensus is that games are softer\nover at PartyPoker. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although PokerStars has been focusing a lot of\nattention on recreational players lately, it seems to attract more customers to\nits other products (casino, betting). Poker tables remain quite heavily riddled\nby grinders, especially at higher stakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, PartyPoker offers more\npoker-focused promotions, which do attract a lot of casual poker players to the\ntables. This is why you\u2019re likely to find softer games at Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it must be said that the grinders to\ncasuals ratio at PartyPoker has been changing lately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest reasons for this is the fact\nParty has started to offer good rakeback opportunities in an attempt to attract\nsome of the PokerStars regulars. This strategy has worked out well to an extent,\nas a fair few professional players have found a new home at PartyPoker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, there are more competent players on\nPokerStars, but Party isn\u2019t the \u201cfish pond\u201d it used to be once, either. Games\nare softer than on Stars, but the difference isn\u2019t that big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Welcome Bonus &amp; Promos: PokerStars vs PartyPoker<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have an account with PokerStars as\nof yet, you\u2019ll have two welcome bonuses available to you when you make the\nfirst deposit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Option 1: 100% up to $600<\/li><li>Option 2: Deposit $20 or more and\nget $30 bonus bundle<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The first offer is quite straightforward, and\nit\u2019s the standard welcome bonus that you might be used to. Any amount you\ndeposit will be matched in full and added to the bonus balance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you play, the bonus will be released in\nincrements and added to your cash bankroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second option is geared more towards casual\nplayers looking to get some fun for their money. The bonus bundle includes two\n$5 cash boosts and a variety of $0.50 and $1 Spin &amp; Go tickets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These won\u2019t be given to you all at once, but\nacross your first several days at Stars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly, the first option is more valuable for serious players, but if you\u2019re only depositing $20, you should probably take the second option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-Welcome-30.jpg\" alt=\"PokerStars Welcome bonus\" class=\"wp-image-23712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-Welcome-30.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-Welcome-30-148x54.jpg 148w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-Welcome-30-768x282.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-vs-PokerStars-Welcome-30-480x176.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As for other promotions, there are a few\ninteresting ones, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Spin &amp; Go leaderboards<\/li><li>Platinum Pass (Road to PokerStars\nPoker Championship)<\/li><li>Zoom Early Bird<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Realistically, though, these aren\u2019t\nparticularly rewarding for casual players or worth the effort for regulars\neither. You could say the promotions found at PokerStars are average at best.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How does Party stack\nup?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PartyPoker also welcomes players with first\ndeposit bonus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The offer is clearly geared more towards casual\nplayers. It might not be that sttractive if you\u2019re someone who already has a\nsolid bankroll and knows what they want to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Players can choose from two options when they\nmake their first deposit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Deposit $10 and get $10 worth of\nSpins tickets<\/li><li>Deposit $20 and get $30 worth of\nSpins tickets<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly, the second option is more valuable,\nand it\u2019s what you should be going for in all cases. But the whole welcome bonus\nat Party seems rather pale, especially when compared to PokerStars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, the room more than makes up for it\nthrough its rewarding cashback system that I\u2019ll talk about next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of other promotions, PartyPoker is\ndefinitely more colorful. Perhaps the most interesting are the leaderboards for\nevery type of game: cash games, tournaments, and Spins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, whatever your game might be, you\u2019ll have a\nchance to win some extra cash along the way, which is always a great incentive\nto grind more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rakeback System:\nPartyPoker Gives More<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned already in this review, PartyPoker\nhas introduced some changes that all regular players and grinders love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Stars decided to get rid of its Supernova and Supernova Elite statuses, it left many players in a bad spot as they didn\u2019t know where to turn to for their rakeback earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Welcome-Bonus.jpg\" alt=\"PartyPoker welcome bonus\" class=\"wp-image-23718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Welcome-Bonus.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Welcome-Bonus-148x55.jpg 148w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Welcome-Bonus-768x286.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Welcome-Bonus-480x179.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>PartyPoker came up with a system where players\ncan get up to 40% of their rake back each and every week, which is very\nattractive in today\u2019s online poker climate. There aren\u2019t many rooms that offer\nthis kind of a deal, at least not the ones that are trustworthy and also have\ngood player traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To receive your cashback at PartyPoker, you\nneed to opt-in manually. Once you do this, you\u2019ll become eligible for a\npercentage of your rake back as soon as you accumulate 25 points (pay $25 in\nrake).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Level 1: Up to 149 points \u2013 20%<\/li><li>Level 2: 150 \u2013 599 points \u2013 25%<\/li><li>Level 3: 600 \u2013 1199 points \u2013 30%<\/li><li>Level 4: 2,000+ points \u2013 40%<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a system that really favors grinders\nand those who put in serious volume at the tables. By doing this, Party has\nmanaged to come up as maybe the only room these days that shows they want serious\nplayers instead of pushing them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Compared to PokerStars\u2019 Chests, Party\u2019s\ncashback system is far superior. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole idea of Chests and surprise rewards\nfor the players has some allure to it, but it\u2019s not what you want. There are\nfar too many random elements, and the rewards you can get from these chests\njust aren\u2019t nearly as valuable as what you can get playing at PartyPoker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one crucial segment where PartyPoker\ntakes an easy win at this point in time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s become clear that PokerStars just isn\u2019t\ninterested in keeping regular players happy anymore, and PartyPoker has managed\nto profit from this. Its system may not be as good as what Stars once offered,\nbut for today\u2019s environment, it\u2019s really solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Deposits &amp; Withdrawals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to banking options, both\nPartyPoker and PokerStars cover a wide array of methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The giants they are in the world of iGaming,\nboth rooms can offer almost all options you can think of. You can use\neverything, from credit and debit cards to e-wallets like PayPal, Skrill, and\nNETELLER, plus various other alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a catch, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Stars and Party run a reasonably tight\nship when it comes to various laws and regulations, so you might find that\ncertain countries only have access to a limited selection of options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t that great if you come from one of the \u201csmaller\u201d countries and are restricted to only a few choices, but it is what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"397\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Deposit-Options.jpg\" alt=\"PartyPoker deposit options\" class=\"wp-image-23714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Deposit-Options.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Deposit-Options-148x73.jpg 148w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Deposit-Options-768x381.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PartyPoker-Deposit-Options-480x238.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Both rooms are really quick to send players\ntheir money. You won\u2019t have to wait long to receive your winnings, but do be\nprepared to undergo a serious verification procedure when you first join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s fair to say that both rooms are quite\nsimilar in this particular department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are doing an outstanding job to ensure\nplayers have access to a good variety of options and are quick to pay out when\nthe time comes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The specific country restrictions are annoying,\nbut it\u2019s a complicated issued that rooms themselves often can\u2019t fully control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Customer Support<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The final segment to be discussed in this\ncomparative review between PartyPoker and PokerStars is the support department.\nCustomer support can really make or break your overall experience, so let\u2019s take\na look at what the two rooms offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PokerStars offers support via email and their\nsocial media pages, particularly Twitter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you can expect to receive answers to your\nemails quickly, support can sometimes seem reluctant to work with you to\nresolve the problem or give you the unnecessary runaround. This isn\u2019t to say\nthat their support department isn\u2019t doing a good job, but there is definitely\nroom for improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially true since Stars support\nused to be regarded as the best there is. A lot has changed in recent years,\nand PokerStars of today is failing to live up to these expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to this, PartyPoker provides\nassistance via email, live chat, and phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also have a rather elaborate help center\nthat takes you step by step to try and answer any questions that you might\nhave. So, Party is working harder to keep its players happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, you\u2019ll get the help you\nneed from both rooms, but your experience might be more pleasant with\nPartyPoker. Their agents seem easier to get in touch with and more willing to\nwork with you to resolve your issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PokerStars or PartyPoker: Which One Is Better for You?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This review should give you a pretty good idea\nof what these two rooms have to offer, but you\u2019ll have to make the final call\nyourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve written down some quick tips that might\ngive you the final push, though:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a solid rakeback, good\npoker-focused promotions, and softer cash tables, you\u2019ll have better luck at\nPartyPoker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its cashback system is far superior to what\nStars has to offer, and its leaderboards offer better additional rewards to\nboost your bankroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PokerStars is still the better choice for\ntournament players if you want events with large fields and massive guarantees.\nParty offers a solid schedule and some options, but its regular tournaments\nusually don\u2019t have huge guarantees attached to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Party is only a viable option if\nyou\u2019re planning on playing Hold\u2019em or Omaha. The room offers no other\nvariations like Stud or Mixed games, so if these are your cup of tea, you\u2019ll\npretty much have to stick with PokerStars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Both PokerStars and PartyPoker are on Casino.org\u2019s list of <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/poker\/\"><em>reco<\/em><\/a><em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"m (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/poker\/\" target=\"_blank\">m<\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/poker\/\"><em>mended online poker sites<\/em><\/a><em>.
