Updated May 03 2006

So what makes Party Poker the biggest and most popular online poker room around? Well, they have been online for years and years now and boast the biggest member base of all the poker rooms. At this point, they have over 70,000 members and you will struggle to find less then 500 players online at any given time. This means that there is a lot of action for you to take part in at all times of the day or night.

Their biggest tournament would obviously be the Partypoker.com Million tournament.
This year's tournament is over, but you can already start preparing for next years Million V. The prize pool for next year (2006) is expected to be in excess of 10 Million Dollars!!

If you need help at this room, then use the live chat. This is always been very good and the support team really seem to be well trained. Although, I have tested their email support recently as well and I was answered witin 5 minutes with a personalised well thought out answer.

No question about it, Party Poker still leads the way!
