gaming brands are used to delivering world class promotions
and games, and this gaming season is no different.
The
award winning PartyPoker.com
invites you to 'Conquer The World'!
Dominate
the World
This
November and December sees the exciting World Domination
promotion return to PartyPoker
as players are invited to take over the world, one
city at a time.
During
this World Domination period, PartyPoker
is going to award thousands of dollars’ worth
of cash payouts and freeroll tournament seats, while
also giving the players a chance to challenge for
a massive $100,000 top prize!
Taking
over the World
In
order to achieve world domination and take down the
cash prizes, all players must do is earn PartyPoints
between Nov. 7 and Dec. 32.
Each
time a player earns 10 PartyPoints they will be randomly
awarded 1 of 72 different cities from around the world.
They will now have dominated that city and are encouraged
to keep earning PartyPoints and taking over more and
more cities. Players are able to be awarded the same
city more than once and some cities will be harder
to capture than others.
Most
cities will also award an instant prize but the biggest
prizes are awarded to players if they manage to conquer
entire countries and continents. The $100,000 is what
all players should be aiming for and that is awarded
to anybody who manages to accumulate all 72 unique
cities.
Most
cities will award an instant prize or at the very
least a freeroll ticket, while each continent and
country has a different prize value. For example,
if you conquer all four cities in England, you will
be awarded an instant prize of $1,500! In addition
to this, if you then go on to claim each and every
country in Europe, you will be awarded a massive $20,000
and be well on your way to winning the $100,000 that
goes along with achieving world domination!
Players
can get started right now and earn their first city
for only 5 PartyPoints, so make sure you head over
to Party Poker and start taking over the world!
In
order to snatch your free bankroll, all you have to
do is sign up for a PartyPoker
account and wait for your immediate free credit of
$25. Once you receive the $25, head to the tables
and earn 200 PartyPoints, whereby you will then be
awarded an additional $25!
This
means that you will have earned 20 countries in the
World Domination promotion while also receiving your
free bankroll! Play smart and play often. Good luck
at the tables.

PartyPoker
Introduces Five Star Poker Challenge - 29th November
2010
In
December, PartyPoker
will unveil the Five Star Poker Challenge, offering
31 freerolls worth $5,000 each plus other high-stakes
cash prizes. PartyPoker
offers some of the industry’s most unique promotions
every month.
All
you have to do to take full advantage of the Five
Star Poker Challenge is rack up five Party Points
in a single day. That’s it; that’s really
all you have to do. When you amass five points, PartyPoker
will grant you entry into a $5,000 freeroll the next
day. There are 31 freerolls that will be held in total,
meaning that the site is putting up over $150,000
for this part of the Five Star Poker Challenge promotion.
Now,
if you qualify for five of the aforementioned $5,000
freerolls, you’ll score entry into a $50,000
freeroll that will be held on January 2nd. You’ll
be ringing in the new year in style as you vie for
a five-figure prize pool, all for playing on one of
the world’s largest online poker sites.
In
addition, repeat winners of the $5,000 freerolls will
be in for a special treat. Win two daily $5,000 freerolls
and you’ll take home a $5,000 cash prize. If
you manage to win three daily freerolls, then your
prize will be increased to $50,000. Finally, any PartyPoker
player who manages to take down five daily $5,000
freerolls will win a colossal $500,000 cash prize.
Your
$5,000 freeroll victories don’t have to be consecutive;
rather, they can happen on any days during the promotion.
Finally, PartyPoker
is offering up one $5,000, $50,000, and $500,000 bonus,
so start playing early to claim your prize, as jackpots
will be paid out on a first come, first served basis.
Text
found on PartyPoker’s
website explains how bonuses can be claimed: “To
make a claim, players must send an email to info@partypoker.com
and confirm their account name. PartyPoker
will respond to all claims within 48 hours in order
to verify all claims and ensure no fraudulent play
has taken place.” PartyPoker
expects to pay out bonuses within 48 hours.
The
$5,000 tournaments will kick off at 15:00 ET each
day during the Five Star Poker Challenge. According
to PartyPoker’s terms, a “day” runs
from 00:00 ET to 23:59 ET, so make sure to pick up
five Party Points during this time span to qualify.
Also
in December, PartyPoker
is holding the VIP Gift Accumulator for its VIP
members. All players need to do is earn Party Points.
Then, at certain thresholds, they’ll receive
rewards for their play, ranging from a $50 cash prize
to a $5,000 World Poker Tour (WPT) buy-in. Other prizes
include $100 in cash, an iPod Touch, $700 in cash,
and a 16 GB iPad, which will likely be one of the
hottest gift items for the holiday season. All prizes
are cumulative, which could make for a pretty full
stocking come Christmas morning.
The
VIP Gift Accumulator also includes a prize draw that
will shell out $10,000. The top payout in the prize
draw is $5,000, with cash sums of $3,000 and $2,000
also available. The VIP Gift Accumulator promotion
runs from December 1st to 14th, with the prize draw
occurring on December 17th. Players must opt into
the VIP Gift Accumulator in order to participate.
The
WPT buy-in is good for any event before March 31st.
Players who would rather not head to a live poker
tournament can opt for a cash alternative of $3,500.
In order to check out how many VIP Gift Accumulator
points you’ve earned, head to your PartyPoker
account after you’ve opted in.
Online
poker is the game of poker played over the Internet.
It has been partly responsible for a dramatic
increase in the number of poker players worldwide.
In 2005, revenues from online poker were estimated
at US$ 200 million per month.
Online
venues, by contrast, are dramatically cheaper because
they have much smaller overhead costs. For example,
adding another table does not take up valuable space
like it would for a brick and mortar casino. Online
poker rooms also allow the players to play for low
stakes (as low as 2¢) and often offer poker freeroll
tournaments (where there is no entry fee), attracting
beginners.
Free
poker online was played as early as the late 1990s
in the form of IRC poker. Planet Poker was the first
online cardroom to offer real money games. The first
real money poker game was dealt on January 1, 1998.
Author Mike Caro became the "face" of Planet
Poker in October 1999.
The
major online poker sites offer varying features to
entice new players. One common feature is to offer
tournaments called satellites by which the winners
gain entry to real-life poker tournaments. It was
through one such tournament on PokerStars that Chris
Moneymaker won his entry to the 2003 World
Series of Poker. He went on to win the main event
causing shock in the poker world. The 2004 World Series
featured three times as many players as in 2003. At
least four players in the WSOP final table won their
entry through an online cardroom. Like Moneymaker,
2004 winner Greg "Fossilman" Raymer also
won his entry at the PokerStars online cardroom.
In
October 2004, Sportingbet Plc, at the time the world's
largest publicly traded online gaming company (SBT.L),
announced the acquisition of ParadisePoker.com, one
of the online poker industry's first and largest cardrooms.
The $340 million dollar acquisition marked the first
time an online cardroom was owned by a public company.
Since then, several other cardroom parent companies
have gone public.
In
June 2005, PartyGaming, the parent company of the
then largest online cardroom, PartyPoker,
went public on the London Stock Exchange, achieving
an initial public offering market value in excess
of $8 billion dollars. At the time of the IPO, ninety-two
percent of Party
Gaming's income came from poker operations.
The
market appears to be currently in a consolidation
phase. In early 2006, PartyGaming moved to acquire
EmpirePoker.com from Empire Online. Later in the year,
bwin, an Austrian based online gambling company, acquired
PokerRoom.com. Other poker rooms such as PokerStars
and Poker.com that were rumored to be exploring initial
public offerings have postponed them.
As
of March 2008, there are fewer than forty stand-alone
cardrooms and poker networks with detectable levels
of traffic. There are more than 600 independent doorways
into the group of network sites. (Credit: Wikipedia).
