Sign up to PartyPoker this week for a free $50 bankroll, a big March freeroll promotion and a Bad Beat Jackpot worth nearly $1 million.

Tony on Peter Eastgate and France
Tony G is in fine form this week, taking a shot Peter Eastgate by announcing “I’m retiring from live poker until the next tournament”

“Peter Eastgate – the shortest retirement in the history of poker. Even though the sale of his bracelet made a lot for charity I would have felt cheated if I had bought it only for him to go back on his decision.”

You can also check out Tony with a special message for his French fans, we don’t know why, but there is something strangely entertaining about Tony G speaking French:

Play Less Win More
Another month, another great value promotion at PartyPoker. Play Less, Win More is a new freeroll series with a bizarre twist; you can select the size of the freeroll and the bigger it is, the easier it is to qualify. This series takes place between March 1 and 31.

Bad Beat Jackpot Reaching $1 Million

The lucrative Bad Beat Jackpot at PartyPokers Jackpot tables has been steadily climbing and getting closer to the $1 million mark. It was over $800,000 when we last checked and there were over 200 tables running at once. All you need to do to cash in is lose with quad eights or better to take the lion’s share of this massive prize pot.

The Best Bonus in Online Poker
PokerNews has the best PartyPoker bonus in the world, and you can benefit if you have money to deposit or are starting from scratch.

Just to remind you, you can get $50 for free when you sign up to PartyPoker via PokerNews, follow our walkthough guide and use 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 cannot find it anywhere else. 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.

If you signed up to PartyPoker anywhere else, you would have to deposit $100 to get a $100 bonus. Then to release that bonus you would need to earn 600 PartyPoints.

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

Free Month with PokerNews Strategy
But it doesn’t stop there, because all new Party Free $50 customers also get an exclusive free first Month with PokerNews Strategy worth $30. Once your PartyPoker account has been credited with the first $25 of your free $50, you will receive an email to confirm your free month at PokerNews Strategy. This will direct you to a special sign-up page for this promotion and you must use the same email address you registered with PartyPoker for us to recognize you as having a free PokerNews Strategy subscription.

This week on the PartyPoker Weekly, caption competitions with Tony G, win a WSOP package and of course get the greatest bonus in online poker with PokerNews.

Another Tony G Caption Competition
Always first in the queue to make fun of Phil Hellmuth, this week sees the return of the Tony G caption competition. Once again he is offering $50 for the best caption for this picture, Phil’s second with a former President after being snapped with George Bush earlier this year:

“Here he is with William Jefferson Clinton, ex Rhodes Scholar and the purveyor of the finest cigars since Hannibal in the A Team. Phil – when are we going to get the Obama pictures?

Tony is also getting excited about the PartyPoker Big Game V at Dusk Till Dawn in the UK next month, once again turning it into a competition:

“I offer the floor to ideas on what my walk on record for the Big Game should be. Last year it was Bicycle Song by Queen – I made my entrance to the table to the strains of Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor, Brian May et all. $50 goes to the best suggestion for this year. What record should I enter the Big Game too?”
