  • $1,000 spending money
  • $150 hospitality

Participate in The Contender Promotion and Win Heavyweight Prizes

The Contenders promotion will see someone walk away with the lion's share of $12,000 — through freeroll tournaments — and bragging rights over their peers.

The six freerolls have prize pools ranging from $2,000 to an even more impressive $12,000. Gaining access to the freerolls is a simple task, earn the required number of points (as shown in the table below) and a seat to a freeroll tournament will be awarded for the next month.

Weight ClassPoints RequirementPrize pool
Heavyweight1,000$12,000
Cruiserweight500$10,000
Middleweight250$8,000
Welterweight100$5,000
Featherweight25$3,000
Flyweight1$2,000

By earning just a single PartyPoint during the month, you will gain access to a $2,000 freeroll. Get your grind on and generate 1,000 PartyPoints at the poker tables, and you will be able to step into the ring of a $12,000 freeroll. PartyPoints are awarded at a rate of two points per $1 paid in rake or tournament fees so your first freeroll entry only costs $0.50 in rake.

The freerolls will take place on the second Saturday of the month, so make sure you keep your diary free so you can attempt to bag yourself some free cash. Keep your guard up, roll with the punches, and good luck!

Win a Cash Bonus Every Week in the FastForward Challenge

FastForward Poker, PartyPoker's offering to the "fast-fold" world, allows players to play hundreds of hands per hour thanks to their being seating in a player pool rather than at one fixed table. Instead of having to wait for a new hand to be dealt, players can click the "Forward Fold" button and be whisked from their seats to a new table with new cards and players.

This means that waiting for premium holdings are a thing of the past and it is now easier than ever before to play several hundred of hands per hour! Being able to play more hands per hour potentially increases your hourly win rate, and thanks to a new promotion focused around FastForward Poker, your hourly rate could be boosted even further.

The FastForward Challenge could see you awarded a poker bonus of between $5 and $100 just for playing FastForward poker. Earn just a single point on four days across the week and a $5 poker bonus will find its way to your account. Earn one point every day for seven days, and this bonus increases to $10.

The maximum bonus this promotion yields is $100, awarded to anyone who earns 100 points per day for seven consecutive days. Points are awarded per $1 paid in rake. What's more, FastForward Poker plays so fast that you will be plowing through hands in such a rapid fashion that the points will just rack up.

Points Per DayFour days in a weekSeven days in a week
One point per day$5 poker bonus$10 poker bonus

As an added incentive to grind, PartyPoker will award you with an extra cash bonus if you qualify for a bonus for 12 weeks in a row.
