Party Poker NJ Review

Since 2001, Party Poker has provided the very best in iGaming products for players located all around the world, with the majority of their users located in Europe. In 2013, the company gained permission in the state of New Jersey to provide its residents with legal online poker options, which of course marks the first time Party Poker has been allowed to run its software in the United States since 2005’s UIGEA bill forced them to withdraw from the country.

Party Poker NJ currently is licensed and regulated with the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement and offers both poker and casino gaming to anyone located within the borders of the state. Because the brand is well-known, the site stays busy and is currently one of the most popular online poker options within New Jersey. Visitors coming to the state can also play on the site during the duration of their visit, but will be unable to access the site once they leave the New Jersey area.

PROS

  • FREE $25 credited to your account upon signup (NJ residents only).
  • Amazing software and graphics; app also available for iOS and Android.

CONS

  • Real money poker traffic is limited to NJ residents only.
  • Not as many cash games going as other rivals NJ (ie WSOP.com).

    Party Poker NJ Lobby and Table Features

    Customization options are great at Party Poker NJ, with options for custom avatars, bet sizing, different table skin selection and great multi-tabling features. Players can open new tables and manage game play with the choice of either cascading or tiling the tables across the screen. The software can even detect if you are using two screens to provide you with better visuals during your cash game sessions.

    HUD use at Party Poker NJ

    Like other popular online poker sites like Bovada and Carbon Poker, Party is gearing their business towards more recreational play and not so much professional play. This means that they are not allowing third party software to be used to track statistics during table games as it can give an unfair advantage to more seasoned players. There are no immediate plans to change their stance on this.

    Mobile Options for Party Poker NJ

    When you want to take your online poker action on the go, consider downloading the app  on your mobile device. Party Poker NJ’s app is compatible with iOS and Android devices, which allows you to stay connected to the software and your account on the go.
