Win Your way to the WSOP with PartyPoker

The 2013 World Series of Poker begins on May 29 and you could find yourself in the thick of the action, thanks to PartyPoker and its WSOP promotions.

Until June 16, PartyPoker is running satellite tournaments that eventually award one of two amazing WSOP packages. There is at least one $2,500 WSOP side event package and a WSOP Main Event package to be won every week. Have you won yours yet?

Every Sunday at 14:50 ET until June 16 there will be a $700+$50 WSOP satellite on PartyPoker that will award 1 in 20 players a $14,000 2013 WSOP Package! One package is guaranteed, but we believe there will be more given away as the WSOP draws ever closer and the excitement of the series starts to get hold of everyone. Each Main Event package consists of:

  • $10,000 WSOP Main Event buy-in
  • $2,000 in spending money
  • Hotel accommodation in Las Vegas for 10 nights

Also on Sundays, but at the slightly later time of 15:45 ET, a $275+$25 Las Vegas Experience satellite takes place in which one $5,000 package is guaranteed. The $5,000 package consists of:

  • $2,500 WSOP side event buy-in
  • $1,650 in spending money
  • Hotel accommodation in Las Vegas for seven nights

Don't be disheartened if the main satellites are out of your price range, because PartyPoker is running plenty of qualifier tournaments that feed into them. These qualifiers cost between $1 and $80 to enter, although there are a number of daily freerolls in the lobby, too.

PokerNews will be in Las Vegas covering every WSOP event. Here is hoping we get to write about you and update the world on your quest to become a WSOP champion!!

FastForward Poker Just got Even More Profitable

FastForward Poker, PartyPoker's offering to the "fast-fold" world, is one of the most exhilarating formats of the modern game. Thanks to players' seating in a pool rather than at one fixed table, you can play hundreds of hands per hour, even if you only play on a single table. Look down at seven-deuce, click "Fast Fold" and you will be instantly whisked from your current table to a seat with a new group of players!

This eliminates the need to wait for premium holdings, making the game more exciting. Being able to play more hands per hour potentially increases your hourly win rate, and thanks to a new promotion focused around FastForward Poker, your hourly rate could be boosted even further.

The FastForward Challenge will see you awarded a poker bonus of between $5 and $100 just for sitting down and playing FastForward poker. Earn just a single point on four days across the week and a $5 poker bonus will find its way to your account. Earn one point every day for seven days, and this bonus increases to $10.

The maximum bonus this promotion yields is $100, awarded to anyone who earns 100 points per day for seven consecutive days. Points are awarded per $1 paid in rake. What's more, FastForward Poker plays so fast that you will be plowing through hands in such a rapid fashion that the points will just rack up.

Points Per DayFour days in a weekSeven days in a week
One point per day$5 poker bonus$10 poker bonus
