Party Poker Sports (formerly Party Bets) is an online bookmaker owned by the creators of Party Poker (one of the internet’s biggest poker sites). They are licensed in both Gibraltar and the United Kingdom and promise to offer customers a wide range of sports and great customer service. The firm started off focusing on poker, so now they have diversified their offerings, are they able to maintain a high quality of service and a great product? We find out in this review.
The Site
Party Poker Sports haven’t done anything particularly daring when it comes to their website design, and with Bwin behind them, they have stuck to the common three-column layout that has proved so successful with European and Asian bookmakers. On the left-hand side of the page, bettors can access their desired sports and once they have clicked on a link, a drop-down menu will appear with the various countries/matches and markets etc. The centre of the page is populated by top bets, highlights for the country the bettor is signed in from, and international highlights. Users can see their bets in the bet slip on the right-hand side of the page and there are also odds for live betting underneath.
For those bettors who like to be informed about each contest before they strike their wager, Party Poker Sports offer a statistics section which covers a wide range of different sports. Market leader Betradar power the statistics, so clients are getting the best information.
At the bottom of the page, users can choose from a variety of languages offered by Party Poker Sports. The bookie can be viewed in English, German, Spanish, French, Romanian, Russian, Greek, Polish, Swedish, Hungarian and Portuguese (Brazilian).
Bonuses For Newbies?
At present, Party Poker Sports do not provide new customers with a sign-up bonus on the bookmaker. There is a small concession for users of the poker room, but this is an area that Party Poker Sports could work on to attract more casual bettors.

Sports Markets & Odds
Party Poker Sports offer an extensive list of sports for bettors to get their teeth stuck into. Virtually all major and popular sports and events are covered and clients are very well catered for. As a European facing bookmaker, football is by far the most popular and covered sport.
There are over 30 different regions covered from around the world. On top of the major footballing nations such as England, Spain, Italy and Germany, Party Poker Sports also provide odds on markets from Singapore, South Korea, Paraguay, Faroe Islands, China and Iceland.
The early odds for the new Premier League matches are not that competitive, with most matches compiling to 106.5-107% (the closer to 100% the better). It is however difficult to be too critical of the prices offered by Party Poker Sports as at the time of review, there are nearly 2 months before the matches kick off and as such there is little known about transfers, and the team line ups etc. As a result, most firms price up their markets a little conservatively in the early stages. In addition to the betting on each game, there are also ante-post options such as Relegation, Finishing Position, Top Scorer etc.
Odds on tennis matches compiled to 105.5-106% which sits at around the industry standard. The match winner bets are often shunned by bettors when there is a gulf in class between two players, and other markets offered by Party Poker Sports that entice clients are Total Games, Set Winner, Total Number Of Sets, Correct Score, Come From Behind etc.
With the baseball season in full swing, there are plenty of opportunities for lovers of the American game to have a wager. 24 hours before a MLB match between the Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees, the odds worked out to 104.5%, which is a pretty strong and fair book to bettors. The Moneyline is popular, but Party Poker Sports also compile prices for Totals, Run Line Spread, First Run Scored, Extra Innings etc.
Some of the more niche sports covered are biathlon, cross country skiing, cycling, bandy, ski jumping and chess. Although the markets for these sports aren’t deep (there are often just odds for the outright winner of certain events), and the margins are not as low as for the mainstream sports, it is a nice touch for Party Poker Sports to offer these events.

Customer Support
With an extensive reach across the bookmaker, casino and poker world, it comes as no surprise that Party Poker Sports have a comprehensive customer support system. The support is available 24/7 and the phone numbers vary by which country the customer is from. For the UK, bettors can reach representatives on 00-800-7278-9100 and the generic toll number is 00-350-20050509.
There are two e-mail addresses depending on what queries customers have:
24/7 Customer Service Department – info@partypoker.com
Cashier Team – transactions@partypoker.com
Party Poker Sports have an extensive FAQ section that covers all services they offer on the website. In addition to general questions, there are also more specific rules regarding different sports, sign up options, legal resources and much more.
Betting On The Move
While there is a downloadable app for poker players, users of the bookie have to make do with a mobile optimised website. Once players land on the website from a handheld device, they can click the ‘Bets’ link which is located in the upper right corner of the screen. From there, bettors can select from a drop-down list of sports. There is also a search bar to access sports quickly. The pages don’t load immediately but it couldn’t be described as an unresponsive mobile website. Everything is easy to navigate around and the setup is intuitive for users. When a bet is selected, the bet slip will reflect the addition by having a number with the count of total bets. It would be nice to have a downloadable mobile app but the site which works on all smart phones, suffices.
SBO Verdict
Party Poker Sports provide great choice for clients and they have a smooth-running service. Are they market leading? No. But they are solid and the more bookmakers accounts in a bettor’s arsenal, the better.
Party Poker Download Free
On Monday, June 17, partypoker forced all users to change their screenname after logging into the poker client as part of a new software update.
The forced screenname change is just one of many big changes that partypoker shared on its blog. They're 'designed to level the playing field at partypoker following player feedback, allowing players of all levels to start afresh with a ‘clean slate’ in an effort to make the site a safer, fairer place to play.'

'With this release, we are making changes to our software that will prevent third-party tracking tools from working.'
The updated poker client does not allow downloadable hand histories. This means that players previously using HUDs (Head Up Displays) and poker tracking databases will no longer be able to track themselves and their opponents with their third-party software.
This doesn't mean that players won't be able to review any of their play. Recent hands can be replayed via a mini-dashboard, dubbed the Hand History Office, which includes information related to hole cards, community cards, and the pot size on current cash game tables, tournament tables, and Fast Forward pooled tables.
The Hand History Office will also allow the review of cash game and tournament hands from the past three months with extensive data points provided. Filters for the date range, pot size, and hole cards will facilitate players finding a hand to review, although all opponents' names will be anonymous.
Earlier saved player notes have been removed. Besides these changes, partypoker has introduced a four-color deck.
partypoker managing director Tom Waters comments on the changes while also mentioning the half a million dollars the online poker room is giving away in its $500,000 Alias Race.

'This client update is one of a number of initiatives that we are working on in order to provide players with a safe environment where they can play online poker,' said Waters. 'With this release, we are making changes to our software that will prevent third-party tracking tools from working. We want our players to have a fresh start and therefore we are asking all players to select a new alias so that all third-party tool tracking is lost for all our players. At the same time, we have some great promotions running and I’m sure there will be a mad rush by players eager to secure their preferred screen name!'
The only third-party software permitted at partypoker after the new software rollout is partycaption and StackAndTile. Players caught using any other program will not only have their accounts closed but also forfeit funds in their accounts which will be redistributed.
'We want our players to have a fresh start and therefore we are asking all players to select a new alias so that all third-party tool tracking is lost for all our players.'
This rollout didn't come as a surprise as partypoker announced it weeks ago. Many applauded the change, while some objected. The scarce critique was mostly focused on the lack of oversight by players in terms of detecting bots and other abnormal activity, while some of that has been rebuffed by the inception of the Hand History Office.
partypoker Ambassador and Player Panel member Patrik Leonard shared with players that he is on board with the changes at partypoker despite initially being against them.

For the last 3-4 years I’ve been telling @rob_yong_ to not ban HUDS around 3-4 months I changed my mind, as you can… https://t.co/0Qo0p9FFwR

MPN Reacts
The hand history, HUD, and poker tracking software debate not only caught the attention of online poker players but also online poker operators.
The Microgaming Poker Network (MPN) not only took notice but announced changes at their network as well.
MPN currently operates two different clients on the same network. It's Classic version, which will be soon phased out, has always allowed downloadable hand histories and permitted the use of third-party HUDs and poker tracking software. The new Prima client did not allow for downloadable hand histories. This is a decision that MPN Managing Director Alex Scott has said was wrong after further review.
'After reviewing all of the feedback we have received since the launch of our new software, and considering the ongoing debate, we have come to the conclusion that our current policy on hand histories is not right,' said Scott in a MPN blog post. 'With the best of intentions, we made a mistake, and so now we’re going to make changes.'
HUD's will be allowed at the Prima client but won't have the same impact as they would on other sites for a few reasons. Since players can change their screennames every 30 days or 1,000 hands, stats displayed in a HUD are less relevant. Scott mentioned that MPN plans to make these changes easier and more transparent. Also, downloadable hand histories won't be available until 24 hours after play is completed. Scott shared this was to strike a balance between players tracking their own results and the impact of HUDs.
MPN plans to rollout this change during Q4 of 2019.
