partypoker was one of the biggest names of the early online poker boom, and for a long time it ran as one of Europe's largest independent poker networks in its own right. It's now owned by Entain, the FTSE 100 gambling group formerly known as GVC Holdings, alongside sister brand bwin Poker.
As of late 2025, partypoker has migrated its liquidity onto the iPoker platform — the brand, client, and promotions players see haven't changed, but the underlying player pool now sits inside that wider network rather than running independently. In practice that means access to a broader combined liquidity while keeping partypoker's own guaranteed tournament schedule, cash game selection, and loyalty program.
The field here has traditionally skewed more recreational-friendly than pure grinder networks — partypoker has spent years investing in casual-player-focused marketing and promotions, which tends to show up at the tables.
