Online Gambling News and Promotions

For one month only, Party Poker is giving you new players the chance to get your poker career off to an amazing start: They’re boosting the total Bankroll Builder prize pool to a stunning $100,000.

It’s easier to win at PartyPoker than at any other online poker room*. Take your first steps towards success by playing in freerolls worth a total of $1,000 every day.

Put in some quality performances and you’ll be playing for some serious cash, including a weekly $10,000 freeroll and a share of $30,000 in the monthly freeroll finale.

The new, increased Bankroll Builder will run from September 29 through October 26, with the huge $30,000 Bankroll Builder monthly freeroll finale taking place on the last day. The promotion will return to normal on November 3rd.

Remember, all Bankroll Builder tournaments are freerolls open to new players for 60 days after they’ve made their first deposit. With more than 100 chances to win cash, they’re the perfect way to experience the excitement of tournament play. Better still, you’ll be up against other beginners, not experienced pros.

To help get your poker adventure started as soon as possible, you can enter the weekly $10,000 tournament directly during your first seven days as a real money player: You don’t need to join the daily freerolls.

The King of the Table is a $2 million guaranteed tournament with a championship blind structure, which takes place at 12:45 ET on Sunday, November 30.

Have you got what it takes to be the king of the table?
This is the tournament where you can prove you are worthy of such a high title.

With a massive guaranteed prize pool of $2 million, the King of the Table is officially the largest tournament they’ve ever organized.

To give you the best chance of playing for a king’s ransom, they’re starting the qualifiers early. Join the action for as little as $1 from September 29 and secure your place in the tournament on Sunday, November 30.

Don’t miss out on the chance to win your share of PartyPoker’s biggest ever prize pool. With well over $300,000 going to the winner you will need to be on top of your game to be crowned King of the Table.

Party Poker is giving away an estimated $2 million in The Big Deal, one of PartyPoker’s biggest ever promotions.

Every PartyPoint you earn at tables will get them one entry to the next day’s draw and one entry to the massive draw at the end of the promotion. All you have to do is opt in for the draws when you’re eligible to enter.
