Play from home on partypoker
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 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 […]
