How to Join
The PokerNews-exclusive $500 PartyPoker tournaments are open to both new and existing PartyPoker customers that have signed up via Universal Poker and placed a deposit. The Universal Poker rakeback deal for Party is one of the best around. Here's what you can get when you sign up for PartyPoker rakeback deals through our Universal Poker link.
Universal Poker will email qualifying players directly with the $500 tournament passwords.
- Standard Rakeback Offer: Up to 65% cashback
- Universal Poker Exclusive Rakeback Offer: An additional 'Rake Chase' offering up to P$500.
- ✅ By signing up to Universal Poker via our link, you get both the standard 65% cashback and the P$ Rake Chase offer.
Getting this offer is simple, but depends on whether you're a new or existing PartyPoker player. Both can take advantage of this offer, but exactly how to do so will vary based on whichever player type you are.
Cashback is a simple format, where you get a percentage of the rake you've paid back in cash. For instance, if over a month you've paid $5,000 in rake, you'll get up to $3,330 (including welcome bonuses) - though this is just an example and volume plus stakes will determine the exact rakeback percentage you'll earn.
The Rake Chase part works a little differently. This is less to do with PartyPoker, and more a Universal Poker initiative. All PartyPoker players that have a Universal Poker account can access this exclusive rakeback scheme, where they're entered into a leaderboard competition. Here, the top players each period will be awarded with an additional PartyPoker bonus, with top place being awarded P$500!

Those who don't have an account can download PartyPoker via PokerNews' links, and receive one of two welcome packages depending on the size of your initial deposit; a $10 deposit is all that is required to trigger a PartyPoker welcome package.

- Day 2: 4x $0.25 SPINS tickets
- Day 4: 1x $3.30 MTT ticket

Residents of the United Kingdom enjoy a slightly different welcome from PartyPoker. Their deposit of at least £10 comes with a 100% match up to £400 first deposit bonus plus $10 worth of Party Dollars, which can be used in any of the site's games, every day for six days.
To release the total Deposit Bonus amount, you must accumulate four times the Deposit Bonus amount in loyalty points. Each time the player accumulates 10% of the Total Loyalty Points required, they will receive a 10% increment of the Deposit Bonus.
