Sign up for a PartyPoker account via PokerNews and you get a free $50 bankroll and can deposit $50 to get a combined bonus of $100, which clears twice as fast as any other PartyPoker bonus on the Internet.

If you have been following PokerNews for a while, you will know that we have been championing the best sign-up bonus in poker. Our Free $50 no deposit bonus has already been snapped up by thousands Club PokerNews members, so don’t worry – it’s not going anywhere.

The Best Bonus in Online Poker

Just to remind you, you can get $50 for free when you sign up for a PartyPoker account via PokerNews, follow the instructions guide and use the bonus code PN50Free. You don’t need to deposit a single cent or give any of your bank details. This bonus is exclusive to PokerNews — you can’t find it anywhere else.

It really is a free poker-starting bankroll, no strings attached.

But if you want to get an even bigger bonus, you can use our Party Free $50 bonus alongside our exclusive reload bonus, to get $100 for just a deposit of $50. Not only this, but the redemption requirements are much easier via PokerNews than anywhere else.

Want to Deposit? Our Deposit Bonus is Better Too

Let’s show you what we mean. If you signed up for a PartyPoker account anywhere else, you would have to deposit $100 to get a $100 bonus. Then, to release that bonus, you would need to earn 600 Party Points.

However, with PokerNews, you can get the same bonus for half the deposit and nearly half of the points target. Just follow our step by step guide.

By signing up for a PartyPoker account through PokerNews and following the above instructions, you can get $100 for a $50 deposit and 350 Party Points, rather than a $100 deposit and 600 Party Points like our competitors’ offer.

This essentially means that the PokerNews bonus has a 2x points clearance, while our nearest competitor has an 8x points clearance. This is undeniable proof that PokerNews has, by far, the best PartyPoker bonus on the Internet.

Just remember – DO NOT DEPOSIT until you have received your initial free $25, otherwise you won’t be able to get both exclusive bonuses.

In short, it pays dividends to sign up for a PartyPoker account via PokerNews.

On Thursday night, Wynn Resorts, Limited announced a strategic alliance with online poker giant, PokerStars. Both parties are interested in helping pass federal legislation that will define illegal Internet gambling, while establishing a regulatory force to ensure safe operation of online poker, protect consumers, and collect taxes. Once that happens, the partnership between Wynn Resorts and PokerStars will seek a license to jointly operate a US online poker site known as PokerStarsWynn.com.

“After much study, we are convinced that the lack of regulation of Internet gaming within the U.S. must change. We must recognize that this activity is occurring and that law enforcement does not have the tools to stop it. As a company that has safely conducted gaming in the US for more than 40 years, we believe that the same can be done for poker on the Internet,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Wynn Stephen A. Wynn. “Additionally, it is time that the thousands of jobs created by this business and the potentially significant tax dollars come home to the U.S.”

Mark Scheinberg, Chairman and Founder of PokerStars, went on to say, “We have long supported the enactment of local regulatory regimes that protect consumers and provide valuable tax revenues and jobs. PokerStars is closely regulated in many European countries and it has been endorsing the adoption of the same approach in the United States for years, with this alliance representing a critical step in that direction. We are excited about the opportunities that partnering with Wynn, a pioneering leader and innovator in gaming, will present for PokerStars in the United States. These opportunities include the rapid ramp-up in hiring of a large number of professionals in this growing global technology and services sector that will benefit from US talent to keep up with global demand.”

PokerStarsWynn.com would become the newest member in a growing PokerStars licensed family that includes PokerStars.fr, which operates in France under the French government license, as well as PokerStars.it, which operates in Italy under the Italian government license; PokerStars.ee, which operates in Estonia under the Estonian government license, and PokerStars.be which is operating in Belgium under license of the Belgian government for an initial trial licensing period.
