GO TIME: Grand Prix UK Returns to PartyPoker, Dusk Till Dawn With £100,000 Guaranteed

The Grand Prix Spring Edition from PartyPoker runs March 16 – April 3 with buy-ins from $0.55 to $109 with a total of $3 million guaranteed.

Players who missed PartyPoker’s Grand Prix UK in July now have a chance to jump in the action again. PartyPoker LIVE hosts the tournament again in September, offering players the chance to win some cash both online and live at Dusk Till Dawn.

Grand Prix UK features a £120 buy-in and runs at the property from Sept. 7-11 with £100,000 guaranteed. Online starting flights begin Sept. 4 and run for four days as well.

“We’re loving the fact that the PartyPoker Grand Prix UK is becoming a regular part of the Dusk Till Dawn schedule,” PartyPoker head of Live events Dan Rose said in a news release. “The low buy-in, high-guarantee events, alongside numerous satellites, allow players of all bankrolls the chance to win big. We hope to see lots of new and familiar faces at our next Grand Prix UK.”

 

More details on PartyPoker’s Grand Prix UK

Party is opening up the fun for players of all bankrolls. Satellites begin running Aug. 21 and buy-ins start at just £0.01.

Winners in the centrolls cash in for a £3.30 Phase 1 ticket, which can then lead to a £16.50 Phase final. Players in the final then have a chance to win their place into an online Day 1.

There are even more opportunities to win in the Grand Prix UK this time. Players can now take advantage of the PartyPoker REPLAY feature. Any player who satellites into the online Day 1A and is eliminated before Day 2, receives a £16.50 satellite ticket to try again. REPLAY gives players a chance to win a place into online Day 1B.

Live starting flights

When the online starting flights conclude, the first live Day 1 takes place at Dusk Till Dawn the following day on Sept. 8. Four more starting flights then kick off across the next two days, before Day 2 on Sept. 11.

All players who reach Day 2 will cash in the tournament. A tournament champion is then crowned on the second day of action as well.

Players have the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Beihao Wang. He scored the title, £25,000, and winner’s trophy in the last Grand Prix UK earlier this month.

Wang topped a field of 1,507 players and all final table players locked in payouts of at least four figures. Here’s a look at the complete schedule.

Qualifiers for all bankrolls

Once again PartyPoker is appealing to players of all bankrolls in the series. The site is offering phase and hyper satellites online for as little as €0.01.

In the phased tree, the centrolls lead to a €3.30 feeder before a €33 satellite final. Players can win their €330 Day 1 ticket in the final. Phased online mega-satellites are already underway.

Also, the hyper centrolls are followed by an €11 satellite and a €55 final. Live satellites will also run at the venue for a buy-in of €60.

Online qualifiers can make the Main Event even more lucrative with the new Replay feature. Players who satellite into the Main Event Online Day 1A, and do not progress to the live Day 2, receive a free €33 satellite ticket to try again.

This festival follows the PPC Malta and PPC UK earlier this year. The United Kingdom’s Oliver Hutchins took down the Main Event crown at Portomaso Casino in Malta for €74,000.

Waheed Ashraf, also from the UK, then won the £66,271 top prize in the Main Event at Dusk Till Dawn.

PartyPoker Gives Grand Prix UK Green Flag; Company Reverts to Capitalized ‘P’ Brand Name

PartyPoker Live’s Grand Prix UK returns in July with a heavy online poker schedule before players head off to play live at Dusk Till Dawn.

PartyPoker Live’s Grand Prix UK returns in July with a heavy online poker schedule as part of the mix before players head off to play live at Dusk Till Dawn casino.

The event plays out online from July 10-17 with the action then shifting to a live setting from July 10-13 in Nottingham. Party continues to promote more live/online hybrid series and that continues with the Grand Prix UK.

“We’re looking forward to being back at Dusk Till Dawn,” PartyPoker’s head of live events Dan Rose said in a news release. “The atmosphere at the Grand Prix events is always fantastic and this, combined with a large prize pool and plenty of poker action, means the weekend is one not to be missed.”

 

Inside the PartyPoker UK series

Players jumping in the action will find a £120 Main Event with a £100,000 guarantee. The event begins with four online starting flights running from July 10-13.

Satellites for the championship are already underway and start at just £0.01. The centrolls lead a £3.30 satellite Level 1 ticket. These lead to a £16.50 satellite Level 2, where players can win their place in an Online Day 1.

The Grand Prix shifts to Dusk Till Dawn on July 14 with five more starting live flights across three days. Players are allowed one re-entry per starting flight.

Day 2 then begins on July 17 and plays down to a champion on the same day.

PartyPoker brings some extra value

Beyond the Main Event, online grinders will find some nice added value. Any player buying into an online starting flight and reaching the final table will receive a £330 satellite ticket for MILLIONS UK.

That series is set for November and winning a satellite ticket offers some extra incentive to get in the action. In the last Grand Prix UK Main Event in May, Andrew Balfe came out on top of a field of 1,156 players for £22,000.

Here’s a look at the complete series schedule.

partypoker is now PartyPoker

In other Party news, what’s old is now new again. PartyPoker recently confirmed to PokerScout that the company has adjusted its brand spelling to capitalize the “P” in the name.

The company began as “PartyPoker” when the site launched in 2001 and that spelling has returned. The brand advertised using that spelling on numerous poker shows including the World Poker Tour.

However, that eventually changed to the stylized lowercase format “partypoker,” which the company has used for several years. The new capitalization, however, now brings the brand into uniformity with other brands in the company like PartyCasino and PartyGaming.

Those who prefer brand name capitalization will be pleased with the change. However, the partypoker US Network, a partnership between partypoker parent company Entain and MGM Resorts, will retain the lowercase spelling.

Partypoker Unveils ‘All-Cashback’; SPINS Leaderboards Ramp Up, Amateur Championships Roll On

Online poker bad beats, be gone. That’s the goal with the new “All-in Cashout” at PartyPoker. The company announced the latest feature this week, which hopes to keep players from suffering a brutal run of cards.

Players can now insure their post-flop all-in bets, which pays out based on the chances of winning the hand. The cash is shipped to the player regardless of whether or not they win the hand.

“We are excited to introduce this new feature to our cash games and fastforward tables,” PartyPoker director Vadim Soloveychik said in a news release. “Having the option to hedge the risk of a bad beat when all in will hopefully give some players more peace of mind while making bold moves, which will add more thrill to the game for all players.”

How PartyPoker’s All-in Cashout works

Getting some insurance on an all-in bet is simple. For example, a player involved in a showdown after moving all-in post flop may have an 80% chance of winning the hand. The pot has reached $100 and the player then has two options.

The hand can play out as normal, where the player either wins the $100 pot or nothing. The second option is to select the All-in Cashout button, which appears when the option is available.

Should the player take that option, the player receives the current odds to win, minus a 1% fee. In this case, the player would win $79.20.

However, a player choosing the insurance option would no longer be eligible to win the main pot or any side pots. The player may not get paid off the full amount of the all in, but avoids the paid of a bad beat.

What games feature All-in Cashout?

The All-in Cashout feature will be available for No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha cash games and fastforward cash games.

If players decline the option, they’ll still be able to run it twice with two sets of board cards dealt. The two features can also run in conjunction.

“Some people can’t stomach the pain,” Team PartyPoker’s Jaime Staples said. “It’s common for players to seek deals to reduce the risk after they have moved all-in, but now thanks to PartyPoker, players won’t have to. I like how PartyPoker is now allowing players to opt out of showdowns for a small fee.”

PartyPoker adds to SPINS game leaderboards

In other PartyPoker promotion news, the company recently ramped up the SPINS and SPINS Ultra games. Through July 10, more than $20,000 worth of Party Dollars (aka “P$”) can be won daily in the new-look Daily SPINS Leaderboards.

A leaderboard is running for every buy-in level, meaning players can reel in some Party Dollars even at lower stakes. Medium SPINS are those with $50 and $100 buy-ins, while High SPINS are $250 and $500 games. However, leaderboards are offered for even those at the $0.25 level.

Up to 50 players from each buy-in level win a prize every day and prizes go all the way up to $1,500. Party Dollars recently replaced tournament dollars in order to give our players even more flexibility.

MONEY TALKS: Partypoker Expands New Cashback Program Across International Platform

After launching a new rewards program in April, partypoker announced Thursday that the program is now expanding to the international site on June 20.

After launching a new rewards program in April, partypoker announced Thursday that the program is now expanding to the international site on June 20. 

Company officials said the program will more than double the percentage of players winning cashback. That now includes players receiving more cash for less rake.

“Our new cashback program aims to pay vastly more players than today, while also ensuring our loyal grinders are catered for,” partypoker director Vadim Soloveychik said in a news release.

“By giving casual and leisure players more rewards, we believe they will become more loyal customers and help us deliver a more recreational-focused poker network, which is good for all players.”

More players getting money back at partypoker

After the initial announcement, the company is now expanding to all platforms, excluding US sites (in which the company partners with MGM Resorts).

Players will find a new points structure rewarding different game types at different earn rates. Points can be earned by playing:

  • cash games
  • tournaments
  • SPINS
  • Fastforward
  • sit & go tournaments

By redesigning cashback opportunities, partypoker significantly extends the percentage of players earning cashback each week. The company now hopes the expansion ensures recreational players also receive some extra cash for their play.

Players of all levels will now receive rewards on a regular basis, the company notes. Partypoker expects more than 50% of all players will soon receive some cashback weekly.

“This is a huge boost from the current cashback program, where around 20% of players receive cashback every week,” partypoker notes in announcing the plan.

Lower rake threshold & a new points system

With the new plan, partypoker is lowering the amount of rake needed to start receiving cashback. That is currently set at $25, but partypoker is now reducing that to as low as $1.50. This is expected to bring thousands more players into the scheme.

All poker play will be rewarded, with up to 55% weekly cashback up for grabs. Today’s cashback program rewards only one cashback point per $1 raked.

The new plan features variable rates of points per $1, with fastforward poker generating up to four points per $1. Party will release a full breakdown of points per rake by game type later this month.

The new minimum points threshold is just 10 points, earning players $0.50 in cashback at that point. Additionally, new players see a 70% boost to their points as part of a welcome package. That comes out to 6.8 points per $1 raked on fastforward games (four points boosted by 70%). This means they start to receive cashback from just $1.50 in rake.

Not just new players receive boosts and the company promises regular promotions for all players. All receive boost resets every Monday, with a new weekly boost level applying for the whole week.

Party initially planned to launch the cashback program in France and Spain. However, the company changed and these markets should go live with the program this fall. The Italian version will also launch later this year.

Nice boost for SPINS Diamond Club

Along with the cashback expansion, Diamond Club players will also have a new rewards program. Upon launch of the new cashback program, partypoker’s SPINS and SPINS Ultra players have a new option.

These players can opt out of the program and join the new SPINS Diamond Club. Those considering their options regarding this program are asked to email [email protected].

World Championship of Amateur Poker Returns to Partypoker; UK’s Dusk Till Dawn Hosts Live Events

The World Championship of Amateur Poker (WCOAP) returns to partypoker Live this month, running online June 19-26 and live June 29 – July 3.

The World Championship of Amateur Poker (WCOAP) returns to partypoker Live this month in association with the Amateur Poker Association and Tour.

The series runs June 19-26 online and then June 29 – July 3 in a live setting, offering amateur players plenty of opportunities to get in the action. The schedule continues a trend at partypoker of offering both live and online options during the same series.

“We are thrilled to be bringing the WCOAP back to Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham (United Kingdom),” APAT CEO Leigh Wiltshire said in a news release.

“Along with the incredible online schedule provided by partypoker, recreational poker players will have an amazing two weeks of poker to get involved with. We hope everyone has a great poker experience in whichever WCOAP events they choose to play.”

Inside the partypoker WCOAP series

Players will find plenty of options in the World Championship. All tournaments in the series are freezeouts, helping to create a level playing field, according to partypoker officials.

The first starting flight of the £150 Main Event begins online. All players finishing in the top 15% of the field then head to Dusk Till Dawn to complete the tournament.

While the online starting flight is a freezeout, players who bust can still enter a live Day 1. The WCOAP Online comes with several tournament formats including:

  • Six-Max
  • Eight-Max
  • Progressive knockout (PKO)
  • Turbo PKO

All online-only events feature a $55 buy-in with the exception of the $109 Eight-Max Championship. That event is set for June 26 with a $75,000 guarantee.

A look at the live schedule

The series then moves to a live setting, the first time Dusk Till Dawn has hosted the series since 2013. The live schedule offers a variety of events including Short Deck, “round of each” (NLHE/PLO), tag team, mix-max, and bounty tournaments.

The Main Event resumes live on July 1 with an additional starting flight the following day. The champion will be crowned on the final day of the series.

All live championship event winners earn a commemorative bracelet on top of the prize money. Online satellites for the WCOAP Live are already underway.

Players can also buy into the WCOAP via holding tanks at partypoker, the LuxonPay app, or in person at Dusk Till Dawn. Here’s a look at the complete schedule.
