Partypoker Teams With McLaren Formula 1 Racing; O’Dwyer Wins WPT Online Series High Roller

Partypoker's parent company Entain announced a deal earlier this week with McLaren Racing that starts this Sunday at the Monaco Grand Prix.

Players at partypoker may soon be seeing the site’s logo as part of the Formula 1 auto racing circuit. Party’s parent company, Entain, announced a deal earlier this week with McLaren Racing that starts this year.

The multi-year deal will feature the partypoker and PartyCasino brands and officially begins Sunday at the Monaco Grand Prix.

“We are immensely proud to be partnering with McLaren Racing, a team who are synonymous with creating thrilling entertainment by constantly innovating and staying at the cutting-edge of technology,” Entain CEO Jette Nygaard-Andersen said in a news release.

“This is the same approach we take in providing moments of excitement for our customers and we are truly excited about the opportunities we have to create new content for our PartyCasino and partypoker customers as well as bringing these great brands to new audiences.”

Company branding will appear on the halos of McLaren MCL35M race cars as well as driver Daniel Ricciardo’s helmet.

The Australian has been driving in Formula 1 since 2011 and currently sits seventh in the circuit’s standings. The agreement goes beyond the racetrack as well.

 

Entain will offer player and racing fans a range of dedicated content and exclusive experiences. A new activation platform called “Access” will feature:

  • McLaren themed casino content access all games on PartyCasino and partypoker.
  • Competitions to win access to the McLaren Technology Centre, McLaren’s headquarters in Surrey, England. 
  • Shared promotions throughout the companies’ social media channels.
  • Jointly-developed marketing content.

Additionally, Entain will use the partnership to explore strategies to promote safer betting and gaming. Party hopes to benefit “from the team’s unique perspective on maintaining control and managing risk.”

“Fan entertainment is a major focus for our team and sport,” McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown said. “Like McLaren Racing, Entain brands such as PartyCasino and partypoker place a high importance in providing moments of safe and responsible excitement for their customers.

“We look forward to starting our partnership with Entain from this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix and the activity we have planned together in creating moments of excitement for fans and customers.”

WPT series rolls on at partypoker

On the poker felt, the WPT Online Series is currently underway on partypoker’s international platform. The festival runs through June 2 and offers players a chance to add their name to the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup.

The series got off to a good start on May 14 with the $33 Pro Hunt featuring team partypoker players and special guests. The event promised a $30,000 guarantee and attracted 1,788 players for a $53,640 top prize.

Players busting any pros or guests earned a mystery prize ranging from a $33 ticket to a $320 Mini Main Event seat.

Brazil’s Douglas Souza took home a $3,200 seat to the $3 million guaranteed WPT Online Series Main Event. He was streaming his play on PokerStars’ Brazilian Twitch channel when he won the event.

In other news, one of the winningest players in poker also scored a title early in the series. Steve O’Dwyer took down the $5,200 WPT High Roller Turbo on May 18.

Based in the Netherlands, O’Dwyer was one of 50 players buying into the event for a $250,000 prize pool. He topped Finland’s Samuel Vousden in heads-up play for the $80,891 top prize. Vousden took $49,736 for runner-up.

Here’s a look at the events remaining in the series.

Partypoker Offers Free Cash With Hot Tables, Magic Cards; More Tournament Series Ahead

Partypoker has boosted Hot Tables with prizes now up to $1,000. The site also launched Magic Cards and more tournament series are planned.

Hot Tables are heating up again at partypoker. The feature now gives cash and fastforward players even more chances to win boosted prizes, up to $1,000.

With Hot Tables, players are randomly selected for prizes, adding extra fun and boosted pots to players at any possible time.

Along with Hot Tables, the site has also added another new promotion and has more tournament series in the works.

A look at partypoker Hot Tables

More than 250,000 Hot Tables have been triggered since the feature debuted in March. Partypoker is now boosting thousands of cash games and fastforward hands every day.

Hot Tables apply to both No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha games. Those at a table receiving a boost can win an additional cash prize.

As part of the latest boost, party is adding three more stake levels, even getting more micro players involved. The new levels include: $0.01/$0.02, $0.02/$0.05, and $1/$2. 

All cash and fastforward players up to $1/$2 are now eligible to win prizes. That brings the promotion to seven stake levels included in the payouts.

Partypoker is also increasing the maximum prizes at each level. Awards now range from $10 to $1,000 – free cash just for playing.

Here’s a complete look at the stakes and prizes available:

StakesMinimum prizeMaximum prize
$0.01/$0.02 (new)$0.02$10
$0.02/$0.05 (new)$0.05$25
$0.05/$0.10$0.10$50
$0.10/$0.25$0.25$125
$0.25/$0.50$0.50$250
$0.50/$1$1$500
$1/$2 (new)$2$1,000
 

The promotion is popular, with more than 50% of players seeing a Hot Table at least once per playing day. Almost 30% of players have won a prize at least once per playing day.

The biggest Hot Tables prize won so far has been $490. Partypoker is now giving players the opportunity to win more than double that amount.

“It has been great to see the positive response on Hot Tables from players,” partypoker head of poker product Ross McQuater said in a news release. “Expanding to additional stakes will help ensure even more players get to experience this great new feature. There will be more updates coming soon to help make Hot Tables even more engaging for players.”

WPT Online Series gets underway

Plenty more is in store for players at partypoker. That begins today with the WPT Online Series, which runs through June 2.

Players will find a loaded schedule with something for every buy-in. The $3,200 WPT Main Event begins on May 23 and comes with a $3 million guarantee.

The WPT Online is coming to partypoker and the site released the official schedule on Tuesday with plenty of action running May 14 to June 2.

The series kicks off the WPT’s 19th season and will feature some of the perks associated with a live tour event. Some of those include:

  • Adding the winner’s name to the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup
  • Receiving a replica of the trophy
  • Winning a Hublot watch
  • Accumulating Player of the Year points

Friday’s action kicks off with five events, including the $33 Pro Hunt. Players who knock out one of the pros in the field win main event satellite tickets. The winner takes home a seat into the main event. Here’s a look at the complete series:

The unique tournament runs on the first day of the series. Entrants can win main event satellite tickets by eliminating partypoker pros. Those expected to be in the field include:

  • Patrick Leonard
  • Mikita Bodyakovskiy
  • Kristen Bicknell
  • Jaime Staples
  • Joao Simao
  • Dzmitry Urbanovich
  • Joni Jouhkimainen
  • Louise Butler
  • Dayane Kotoviezy
  • Matt Staples
  • Monika Zukowicz
  • Courtney Gee
  • Jordan Banfield
  • Jeffrey Johnson (MaximusBlack)

The winner of the event earns a $3,200 Main Event seat and a trophy. Beyond that, players will also find numerous other events with buy-ins starting at just $10. The series features “micro” and “mini” versions of most tournaments.

Players will also find some nice value with two WPT500 events. The $530 WPT500 Knockout runs May 17-25 with nine starting flights and $1 million guarantee.

Another WPT500 runs May 24 to June 1 with the same guarantee, buy-in, and number of starting flights.

Fans of Pot Limit Omaha are also in luck with WPT Online. Several events in this format are part of the schedule. The $1,575 Omaha Knockout highlights those and runs May 16-18 with a guarantee of $250,000.

Qualifiers for all bankrolls

Partypoker again has included satellite events offering every level of player a shot to qualify for the main event. Players can attempt to qualify for just $0.01 with “centrolls” running daily.

Those events feed into a $3.30 Phase 1, followed by a $33 Phase 2, before the weekly Sunday final. There are also $320 mega satellites running on Day 1A (May 23) and 1B (May 30).

Mega satellites for the Mini Main Event are set for days 1A and 1B (May 15-16) with a $55 buy-in. Members of Team partypoker are ready to get in the WPT action.

“I can’t wait for the WPT Online Series to kick off this week,” Kristen Bicknell said. “To start with, you can have a go at knocking out us partypoker pros and some other guests in the WPT Pro Hunt, which should be a really fun event.

“After that, I’m particularly looking forward to the WPT Main Event, as I always feel it would be so special to take it down. partypoker and WPT as always have designed the schedule so everyone can get involved, particularly with the satellites, so I hope to see lots of you at the tables.”

Here’s a look at the complete schedule.

Name Game Greets Partypoker Players With Alias Changes Part of Software, Security Update

Partypoker continues working on site safety and an alias change will greet players on the platform beginning Tuesday.

Partypoker continues working on site safety and an alias change will soon greet players on the platform. Beginning Tuesday, a pop-up window will prompt players to select a new username.

The move is timed with a new software update and this year’s World Poker Tour Online Series. That series is set for May 14 to June 2, featuring a $3,200 Main Event with a $3 million guarantee. Many players will be using new names when jumping in the action,.

Partypoker working to keep site secure 

The username change is part of party’s ongoing efforts to give players a safe and fun environment to play. Partypoker uses active monitoring and blocking all forms of software that could provide an unfair advantage to certain online poker players.

“At partypoker, we remain committed to our promise to keep the game fair and safe for all our players and asking players to change their aliases is one of the important measures that will help us do this,”, partypoker director Vadim Soloveychik said in a news release.

Players on the site have been a part of the prevention efforts at the site.

“I also want to thank all the players who proactively report the new players’ tracking and game aid tools that appear on the market every now and then to our game integrity team,” Soloveychik said. “Your proactive support means a lot to us and shows that we are doing the right thing.”

Security efforts spurs alias changes 

Player names will be subject to partypoker rules regarding appropriate language. The site blocks certain words and phrases blocked per company policy.

This is the second time partypoker has made such a change, after requiring players to change their aliases in June 2019.

At that time, the banned the use of HUDs (heads-up displays). Improvements were also made to the MyGame tool to help players review their play.

Partypoker has made investments in game integrity as part of a series of software updates to improve the playing experience.

Partypoker-Sport Buff Partnership Enhances Twitch Streams With Added Viewer Interaction

Partypoker is ramping up interaction and fan engagement on its Twitch streams thanks to a new deal with Sport Buff.

Partypoker is ramping up interaction with poker fans on Twitch thanks to a new deal with Sport Buff. The company offers next-generation fan engagement and gamification for broadcast and media applications.

Sport Buff will collaborate with partypoker to enhance the company’s Twitch viewing experience. The company will focus on party’s streams across its English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian broadcasts.

“Partypoker’s commitment to building a community for poker fans on Twitch by creating unique, interactive streams that align well with Sport Buff’s mission to provide fans with an engaging, next-generation experience,” partypoker Twitch manager Gaston Catzman said in a news release.

What will Sport Buff do for partypoker?

Twitch has become an increasingly important medium among online poker sites in recent years. Streaming final tables and other events helps platforms connect with poker fans.

Some of those viewers are new to the game and poker sites see the Twitch service as a vehicle to reach new players. Sports Buff offers streamers several features allowing viewers to “play along” with the action.

Sport Buff’s unique video overlay delivers fully interactive and gamification experiences. That helps drive audience retention and education, delivering real-time engagement, party noted in announcing the deal. Added broadcast elements include:

  • predictions
  • polls
  • trivia
  • fun facts
  • notifications
  • emoji sliders and raters

The features will launch initially on the Twitch desktop platform only, but will expand to mobile devices at a later date.

Operators looking for added value in streaming

The agreement comes at a time when sports have moved beyond just a passive viewing experience. With fantasy gaming, fans are now part of the action as an event unfolds.

Live, in-game sports betting has also become extremely popular among gamblers. The new Sport Buff partypoker offerings may be a way of reaching that segment of poker players.

Watching a stream becomes more interactive, albeit maybe not to the level of daily fantasy and sports betting. Sports Buff officials have high hopes of supercharging the partypoker Twitch experience.

“We’re excited to partner with partypoker to power their poker broadcasts with our next-generation gamification platform,” Sport Buff Vice President Brendan Stock said.

“Together, we are going to change the way that people watch and consume live poker competitions, by driving real-time interaction between the broadcast and the audience. We are going to innovate together to build fun, unique experiences for partypokerTV viewers.”

Sport Buff and partypoker are hoping for a full rollout during the just-announced WPT Online Series. That series runs May 14 to June 2 and players can check out the new Twitch offering.

World Poker Tour Kicks Off New Season Next Week at Partypoker; $3 Million Main Event Planned

The WPT Online is coming to partypoker and the site released the official schedule on Tuesday with plenty of action running May 14 to June 2.

Live poker recently returned to the World Poker Tour with some huge numbers. The company is now kicking off its 19th season in the online poker realm with another partypoker partnership.

The WPT Online Series runs May 14 to June 2 promising players of all bankrolls a chance at becoming a champion. That means numerous qualifying opportunities throughout the series and some major events for players.

“The inaugural WPT Online Series back in 2020 was the first purposely-designed WPT festival to be run fully online at partypoker,” the company’s head of poker room management Chris Donnachie said in a news release, “and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to do this all over again.”

A look at the WPT Online Main Event

Plenty of online poker glory will be on the line again in this year’s WPT partypoker series. The $3,200 Main Event highlights the festival and comes with a $3 million guarantee.

Players will find two starting flights on May 23 and 30. Days 2 and 3 take place on the following two days before the champion is crowned on June 2.

Beyond the cash, the Main Event winner also adds his or her name to the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup. Even more rewards await the winner including a replica of the trophy and a Hublot watch.

In the 2020 WPT Online, Sweden’s Christian Jeppsson took down the Main Event for $923,786.

“There are a few series that are unmissable because of their prestige and the WPT Online Series absolutely falls into that category,” Team partypoker’s Patrick Leonard said.

“Christian winning almost $1 million last year stands out to me. The festival is amazing and you get to play for big, big money but with structures that give you good play.”

Qualifiers and other partypoker WPT action

Players of every level have an opportunity to qualify for the Main Event. “Centrolls” offer opportunities to qualify for just a single penny. 

Centrolls run daily, feeding into $3.30 buy-in Phase 1 events. A player advancing past those events is then entered into $33 Phase 2 before the weekly Sunday final.

There isn’t a direct buy-in for the final, which offers 15 Main Event seats. Other satellites feeding into the Main Event also run on a weekly basis.

Beyond the Main Event, there’s also an extensive schedule of other events as well. The $530 Mini Main Event features a $500,000 guarantee and begins on May 15.

Players can also qualify into this event for just $0.01. The centrolls lead into two phases of satellites with buy-ins of $0.55 and then $5.50. 

Players making it through then play in the Sunday final, guaranteeing 30 tournament seats. There will be no direct buy-in for the final.

In addition to the satellite trees, mega satellites run for the Mini and Main Event before each starting flight. These guarantee at least 50 seats each for both events.

A $55 Micro Main Event is also on the schedule with a $150,000 guarantee. The WPT Online Series also includes two WPT500 events.

Shifting the schedule

This year’s WPT Online Series was initially planned for May 7-26. However, partypoker officials delayed the start of the series just a bit.

After listening to player feedback, the consensus was that players should be given a longer break after playing in POWERFEST. There are also several other major series in April.

Additionally, partypoker continues in efforts to reduce the effectiveness of third-party tools. As part of that, the company has a planned software update next week before the start of the WPT Online Series.

Partypoker Revs Up POWERFEST With $1 Million Main Event

Partypoker’s POWERFEST returns this week, running April 9-27 with the $1,050 offering a $1 million guarantee and three starting flights.

Some big energy returns to partypoker this week with the site’s signature POWERFEST running April 9-27. The featured three-day $1,050 Main Event runs April 24-27 with a $1 million guarantee and three starting flights.

Once again, partypoker is emphasizing its goal of creating another series with opportunities for online poker players of all bankrolls.

“It’s great to have POWERFEST returning to the series schedule,” partypoker’s head of poker room management Chris Donnachie said in a news release. “We have stayed true to the DNA of the series, ensuring it’s accessible and exciting for all buy-in levels and, as always, has multiple ways for players to qualify for less.”

Previewing the partypoker POWERFEST schedule

Players looking to jump in the POWERFEST action will find buy-ins ranging from $1.10 to $25,500. Satellites start at just $0.11, allowing players of all levels the opportunity to battle for the biggest prizes.

The series kicks off with four big opening events with nice guarantees including:=

  • $2.20 Micro Opener – $5,000 guaranteed
  • $22 Mini Opener – $50,000 guaranteed
  • $215 Opener – $200,000 guaranteed
  • $2,100 High Roller Opener – $500,000 guaranteed

Each opener features multiple starting flights. To ensure players compete on a level playing field, only one re-entry is allowed per flight.

For the Main Event, there will also be Mini and Micro versions. The $109 Mini features a $250,000 guarantee. The $11 Micro guarantees $50,000. 

All Main Event champions also receive a trophy to mark their achievement. PartypokerTV, partypoker’s Twitch channel, will also stream the $1,050 Main Event final table.

In last year’s POWERFEST, the eight Main Events smashed their guarantees. The tournaments attracted a total prize pool of $2.4 million, comfortably beating the guarantee of $1.6 million.

“Executioner_” won the largest Main Event prize, banking $118,682 in the $500,000 guaranteed Main Event.

Other partypoker POWERFEST highlights

There are numerous other major events to look forward to in this year’s festival. The Big Fifty and Big Fifty Knockout should be popular.

The Big Fifty features a $55 buy-in and $300,000 guarantee. The event comes with 11 starting flights before Day 2, with a winner crowned on April 20.

The Big Fifty Knockout begins on April 19 with a $55 buy-in and $500,000 guarantee. The event comes with eight starting flights before the final day on April 26.

This year, the POWERFEST Main Event champion will be crowned on the last day of the series. However, that won’t be the only event winner that day. 

The $530 Closer wraps up the series with $150,000 guaranteed. Mini and Micro versions also can feature $55 and $5.50 buy-ins.

Real names will be used in all events with a buy-in of more than $1,050. All other tournaments will show player aliases. Here’s a look at the complete schedule:

Partypoker launches special SPINS for series

Along with a massive tournament schedule, players can also take a shot in special SPINS games throughout the series. These fast-paced, three-handed Sit & Go games offer a chance at large random prizes.

During POWERFEST, players can buy in for $10. The SPINS multiplier then determines the size of the prize pool – paid out in tournament tickets.

Players could potentially play for 210 times their buy-in – meaning a chance to win a $2,100 POWERFEST ticket in minutes.

Entries Surge Into Day 1A of Partypoker Irish Open Online $1,100 Main Event

Poker players now have the chance to secure a seat or travel package for the Irish Poker Open via PokerStars with qualifiers now underway.

The Irish Open Online €1,100 Main Event is off to a huge start at partypoker. The tournament’s first starting flight has already attracted  more than 82% of the €1 million guarantee.

A total of 822 entered Day 1A on Sunday, bringing the accumulated prize pool so far to €822,000. Two starting flights remain with Day 1B on April 4 and Day 1C the following day.

“The size of the field in Day 1A of the 2021 Irish Open Online Main Event tells a very compelling story of how popular this festival really is,” partypoker head of poker room management Chris Donnachie said.

“When we ran the first ever Irish Open Online in April last year, Day 1A attracted 831 players during a period of severe lockdown restrictions. To be just nine players short of that target at a time when the social landscape is very different is a result we are extremely happy with.”

The entire series runs through April 7 and comes with a €3.1 million guarantee. Numerous nice events still remain on the schedule.

Players score with partypoker satellites

For the Main Event, partypoker offers players of all bankrolls an opportunity to participate. On Sunday, 116 of those playing won entries through a mega satellite held earlier in the day.

The Irish Open Online 2021 runs March 26 to April 7 at partypoker with buy-ins ranging from €22 to €5,300 and €3.1 million guaranteed.

The site runs satellite events starting at just €0.01 with tickets won in each week’s Sunday finals. Players can go from the centrolls to the €1.10 buy-in Phase 1. From there, they advance to the €11 Phase 2, before progressing to the weekly final.

There is no direct buy-in to the final, so no player reaching that stage has to pay more than €11 to do so. Three more finals run this week ahead of Day 1B, with a total of 40 tickets for the Main Event.

Even more seats are up for grabs, including 100 tickets into another Day 1B mega satellite. Players can also buy into that event directly for €109. Here’s a look at the complete Irish Open Online series.

Action from partypoker Main Event Day 1A

After Day 1A, Belarus’ Artsiom Prostak led the field with a stack of 5.74 million chips. Overall, 123 players moved on to Day 2.

Team partypoker members also found some success. Isaac Haxton and Patrick Leonard finished in the top 10 with Louise Butler also qualifying for Day 2.

Isaac Haxton advanced to Day 2 in the Irish Open Online at partypoker.

“The Irish Open Online is my favorite festival of the year,” Butler said

“All Irish players dream of winning an Irish Open event and the satellite system at partypoker means that winning an event is a real possibility for players of all bankrolls.”

Another interesting name emerged to advance to Day 2. Four-time super middleweight boxing champion Carl Froch, also a Team partypoker player, moved on after Day 1A.

Day 2 is scheduled for April 5 following Day 1C earlier the same day. Day 3 plays out on April 6 with the final table on April 7.

This year’s series follows the success of the Irish Open Online 2020, which paid out €5.6 million. Brazil’s Pablo Brito Silva claimed the Main Event title, topping a field of 2,945 players to win €462,100. Silva was one of 22 champions who won events in the series.
