PartyPoker: Online Gaming Website
Beginning of the Saga!
If poker is to Las Vegas, online gambling is to PartyPoker! Making money out of gaming is indeed the motto of this site. This flagship site of PartyGaming, a network of gambling sites, was launched in 2001. From a rather gradual growth the site embarked on an accelerated ride to success and fame. It was with incredible speed that the member network of the site multiplied. It is said that about tens of thousands of players could be found playing on the site’s virtual poker tables during peak times. Wondering what made the site click? It is indeed the passion to create a difference that took PartyPoker to the top of the list.
Party Poker makes money by taking a percentage of each ring game pot (this is known as the rake) and approximately 10% of entry fees for each real-money tournament. The site has dealt over six billion real money hands and over fifty billion play money hands, including tournaments.
