See How Lithuanians Roll

Ever wondered where Tony G gets his no nonsense, big personality? That’s what they are all like in Lithuania. Just take a look at how Arturas Zuokas, the Mayor of the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, deals with illegal parking.

To quote Tony:

“He knows how to silence his critics. If Hellmuth illegally parks his limo this is what happens! This is how Lithuanians sort things out and what to expect from me. Check out the mayor at full tilt.”

For more fun with Tony, check out the PartyPoker Blog.

The Best Bonus in Online Poker

PokerNews has the best PartyPoker bonus in the world, and you can benefit whether you have money to deposit or are starting from scratch.

Reminder: you can get $50 for free when you sign up for a PartyPoker account via PokerNews and follow our walk-through guide and use bonus code PN50Free. You don’t need to deposit any money or give any of your bank details. This bonus is exclusive to PokerNews, 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 do you benefit from this, but the redemption requirements are much easier via PokerNews than anywhere else.

If you were to sign 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 the points target. Just follow our step-by-step guide.
