partypoker updates
Apr 7, 2020, 2:39 PM
After a couple weeks of cash games and a busy weekend of tournaments, we’ve got some changes to announce – most of which are suggestions from you, our players. That being said, the following updates have been put into place. Cash games The club games have been hit or miss. Some days we get a couple off the ground, others we may be lucky if there’s a heads up match going on. In an effort to get more games off the ground, the following has been implemented: The additional 20% rake back will only be applied to accounts that have played at least one raked hand on a Playground cash table, per week. The 20% still applies to cash activity throughout partypoker though. So make sure you get in a few hands per week on the Playground tables. Knowing that the hardest part in getting the games going is not […]

Play from home on partypoker
Mar 20, 2020, 12:22 PM
As we all deal with the unprecedented situation surrounding the recent COVID-19 outbreak, live poker will obviously need to be put on pause. A lot of us will be stuck at home over the next few weeks, forced to keep away from those we normally interact with, in an effort to contain the spread of the virus. As such, Playground has made arrangements with partypoker to create, as of March 21, Playground specific Online Cash Games. What does this mean? It means that you’ll be able to play at tables restricted to the same group of players you’re used to sitting with at Playground. As well, on these tables, a player’s real name will appear, so you know exactly who it is you’re up against! These tables will be accessible in the main Cash Game lobby on partypoker, identified by our logo, and named using our club name followed by […]
