Party Poker just got a facelift! The whole look and feel of the site is different now, with improvements in the form and function of every iota of the site: from its user controls to its tournament and cash game offerings, to its range of bonuses and promotions, and more.

The new and improved Achievement Rewards program includes Missions that players can accomplish to earn even greater rewards faster, including for the first time, added freeroll entries.

The new Party Poker is also more social media friendly, with ample ways to connect with the site and your fellow poker partiers over Facebook, Twitter and more. And the new Party Poker app lets you take your online poker with you on the go, whether you use an Apple or Android mobile device (currently available to UK customers only.) Party Poker now also features an improved Tourney Feed allowing you to find upcoming tournaments at the desired stakes and parameters at any given moment.

Among the featured tournaments continuing at Party Poker amidst all the changes are the $200K Guaranteed Sunday, the 50-Seat Frenzy, the Steps Challenge, and satellite series’ into the World Poker Tour land-based events, including currently the WPT Montreal, WPT Grand Prix de Paris, and WPT National UK.

Whether you play the download software, Instant Play online, or over your mobile device, Party Poker offers the same breadth of online poker games and tournaments, bonuses and rewards, and social engagement, but now with an even cooler look and feel. If you already have a Party Poker account, then log right into the new Party Poker just like you did the old Party Poker. And if you’re new to the site, then take advantage of the best Welcome Bonus Party Poker has offered yet.

Genting Poker Releases Tournament Series Schedule

Last Updated on

Genting PokerGenting Poker has been on the poker circuit for a while now, but hasn’t really been huge on the poker scene as of late.  But, a few weeks back they went into an exclusive agreement with the group who originally had an agreement with Full Tilt Poker, the Hendon Mob.  They also purchased the Fox Poker Club a few days back, and it seems that Genting Poker could potentially be on the rise in the United Kingdom’s poker market.  To top it off, they also added a big name to their professional poker pro roster in James Akenhead, who should definitely boost the interest in Genting Poker.

Yesterday though, Genting Poker released a brand new tournament series that will be played all across the United Kingdom, and it will be called the Genting Poker Series.  The first season of it will have seven different stops, with the final event taking place in London, which will be the Main Event in December of next year.  Each event with be a £400 buy-in, up until the Main Event which will be a £1,500 buy-in.  What’s very interesting about this tournament series is that one of the tournaments will actually take place online, and will be the first tournament series that mixes up live and online tournament play.  All in all, the poker series will give away at least £800k in prize money among the seven different stops on the tour.

The action will kick off in February in Star City, Birmingham, and will run from the 1st to the 5th of the month.  After that, the next event will be from March 28th to April 1st in Southend, and will be followed up by event #3 in Edinburgh from May 30th to Jun 3rd.  Events four and five will be in Stoke (from August 1st to the 5th), and then in Sheffield from September 26th to the 30th.  Event number six is the online tournament which will be played over a three day span from November 10th to the 13th, and should draw in a very good amount of players.  After that will be the Main Event, which will be at the Palm Beach Casino in London, as previously mentioned above.  It will run from December 7th to the 11th, and should draw the largest prize pool of them all.
