partypoker (formerly stylized PartyPoker) is an online poker card room. Launched in 2001 by PartyGaming, the site has had up to 80,000 players logged-in and was the largest online card room until 2006. As of 2017, it remains among the largest online poker card rooms. The site was endorsed by Mike Sexton, the former host of the World Poker Tour television show. The domain partypoker.com attracted at least 3.6 million visitors annually by 2008 according to a Compete.com study.[1] Today, the site is run by Entain and is available in 14 different languages. In addition to the worldwide partypoker.com, partypoker also offers dedicated separate networks for French, Italian, Ontarian, Pennsylvanian, New Jerseyan & Michigander players.[2]
In 2011 PartyGaming merged with bwin to form Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment. In 2016, after a protracted bidding process between 888 Holdings and GVC Holdings, Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment accepted GVC Holdings' bid for £1.1 billion. In December 2020, GVC holdings changed their name to Entain in a global rebrand.[3] Entain considered selling partypoker in March 2024, but changed their mind later that year.[4]
