What we like
- Still licensed in the UK, Germany, France, Spain, the Czech Republic and Ontario
- Only international brand with a Czech licence
- fastforward fast-fold format
What we don't
- European network closed on 2 September 2025; most skins moved to iPoker
- Entain reported to be seeking a buyer for the brand
- Traffic a fraction of its 2019 peak
What happened
partypoker’s own European network shut down in September 2025 and its licensed brands were migrated onto iPoker. Danske Spil, its largest partner, left for GGPoker in February 2026. Entain, the parent company, has reportedly put the brand up for sale.
Verdict
Worth playing only where it is the licensed option with the best pool, which today means the Czech Republic. Elsewhere, GGPoker or PokerStars offer more traffic under the same licence regime.
