Partypoker on the way to the Top
Partypoker has been more active than any other online poker room in 2017, making several great changes such as adding a very player friendly VIP system, where you can earn up to 80% rakeback, great live events and awesome online tournaments.
Slowly but surely the efforts seem to pay off as Partypoker overtook 888poker for the first time in ages in September and also online poker experts value their work.
Partypoker is Poker Operator of the Year 2017!
So it doesn’t comes as a surprise that Partypoker just won “Poker Operator of the Year” at the EGR Operator Awards 2017 in London, ending PokerStars dominance, who had won the award three times in a row.
Other nominees in this category included very renowned online poker sites such as 888poker or PokerDom.
The EGR Operator Awards are The Oscars of the iGaming world and were attended by more than 800 industry professionals. It rewards B2C operators for setting the standard across 30 different categories.
“This is just the beginning”
Managing Director of Partypoker Tom Waters said:
“We are delighted that partypoker was voted poker operator of the year at the EGR awards. partypoker has been transformed from a declining brand to a poker site that is now delivering a real challenge to the global poker market. It is testament to the hard work and dedication of the partypoker team over the last year and hopefully this is just the beginning.”
Beginning of a new era in online poker
Among grinders and professional poker players Partypoker is now the room of choice at the latest since they introduced their very juicy VIP system and PokerStars cut all bonuses and rewards for players.
This could mark the beginning of a new era in online poker as changes take some time to come into effect and Partypoker made a lot of great changes this year.
Traffic is already increasing and we predict that Partypoker will not only become the number 1 competitor for PokerStars in 2018, it even has the potential to push them off the top spot!
