Party Poker Deposit Bonus Information

If you are looking to sign-up to play at Party Poker, then you've come to the right place.  Here you will find the latest Party Poker deposit bonus code information to keep you at the top of your Party Poker game.

When you sign-up for a Party Poker account through this site, you can choose from one of three different sign-up bonuses.

	$25 Extra Bonus This is the best Party Poker bonus if you plan on opening your account with an initial deposit smaller than $125.  When you make the minimum deposit of $50, you receive $25 in matching bonus.  To receive this offer, click image at left. Sign-up Code:  HN25EXTRA
	30% Matching Bonus This is the best Party Poker bonus if you plan on depositing more than $125.  Taking full advantage of this offer requires a $500 deposit.  (With the additional 10% bonus described below, depositing $500 will create $150 in matching bonus money for you)  Even if you don't want to play with a $500 bankroll, it makes sense to deposit that much to get the bonus and then withdraw a portion of it.  To receive this offer, click image at left and enter Sign-up Code: HN30EXTRA

In addition to one of those bonuses, new sign-ups also qualify for a $5,000 guaranteed new player freeroll tournament entry.  The next $5,000 New Player Freeroll takes place on Wednesday, March 2, 2005 at 22:15 EST.  It is often the case that many players forget that they registered for this tournament, which means you will find yourself playing at a table where many players are posting and folding blinds because they are not present.  With so much "dead money" in this tournament, this is one of the best freeroll opportunities around.  For a more complete list of the major tournaments coming up on Party Poker, click here.

Lastly, once you sign-up, Party Poker will email you a new account notification.  Inside this email is a link that you must click to validate your email address with Party Poker.  Once you do, you will receive an extra first time deposit code that will give you an additional 10% matching bonus on your first deposit.

Bonus Release Requirements
To release bonus money, Party Poker generally requires that you play 7 raked hands per $1 bonus given.  This is the requirement for the bonuses listed above.  The amount of time that it takes to release the bonus depends on a few factors.  Click here for an estimate of how long it will take to release your bonus.

Other Reasons To Play At Party Poker
Party Poker has the largest base of online poker players.  Their marketing department knows how to bring in the new players.  These constant influx of new, inexperienced players provide a generally soft game (especially at the lower stakes).  This is advantageous to both new players (who can learn poker with people at their own skill level) and more advanced players (who are good at spotting the weakest fish in the pond).  With so many players, you can find just about any game 24/7/365.

While they have limit stakes as low as $.25/$.50, Party Poker offers a separate set of Bad Beat tables for limits $2/$4 and higher.  The progressive bad beat jackpot for these tables is the largest offered online and is routinely in the hundreds of thousands of dollars category.  The largest bad beat to date was over $700,000.  When the bad beat jackpot is hit it is awarded in the following manner:

20.0% reseeds the next jackpot
10.0% goes to Party Poker
35.0% goes to the player who received the bad beat
17.5% goes to the player who gave the bad beat
17.5% split among the rest of the players dealt into the hand

Tools For Your Arsenal
Check out our Books section for a list of reading that can help make your play at Party Poker more profitable.  If you are not an experienced player, it is HIGHLY recommended that you pick up a book (or three) on poker strategy.  While it's possible to learn most of the lessons from the books over years of experience, it is to your advantage to pick up a couple of basic books on poker strategy and expose yourself to those lessons in weeks instead of years.  Many expert players will tell you that they have read some of the poker books multiple times in order to fully grasp the lessons they contain.  That is because as you gain more experience, you are able to relate to these lessons in a more personal way.  Of all the tools and aids listed, there is no greater tool than an educated mind when it comes to playing poker.

We cannot emphasize this enough:  BUY A COUPLE OF POKER BOOKS!  It will save you money in the long run...and poker is a game of the long run.

Best of luck, and may the river be kind!
