Partygaming and BWIN to merge

Partypoker and BWIN are two of the biggest names in the poker industry in Europe. PartyGaming and Bwin Interactive Entertainment plan to merge, this way becoming the largest gambling company.

PartyGaming was the largest poker room in the world before the UIGEA law was passed in 2006. Since then US players are not allowed to register on party poker.

What does this mean to the players?
It is not clear yet whether these poker rooms will keep their names or operate under a new name and we also don’t know if the party poker software or the ongame software will be used. For sure this means bigger competition for Fulltilt poker and pokerstars. and competition always means better quality and better promotions.

What is the minimum deposit on Pokerstars?

More and more new poker players are interested in minimum deposit poker bonuses. Maybe because a minimum deposit means a minimum risk that you are taking. If you deposit a minimum amount you will lose only a few dollars. But a player should also know that there are first deposit bonuses that you can have only once. In most of the time it’s 100% so if you start with a $10 deposit then you will get $10 bonus, but if you start with a $30 deposit then you will get $30 bonus.

Pokerstars is the largest poker room in the world which means that it has the most players. It’s no wonder that everybody (who is interested in poker) wants to have an account there.
The minimum deposit on Pokerstars is only $10..

When signing us you will have to use the bonus code STARS600. This gives you a first deposit bonus of 100% up to $600.
