Party Poker is owned by the same company as Empire Poker. This means you'll find that most -if not all- of the features are the same or shared. The software is the same, with only some variation in the theme. So you can just pick the one you like the best visually.
Not unless you're a fanatic?
Although Party Poker has a special beginner's section, the relatively high initial deposit could scare off some first-time players, and the bonusses aren't as high as other rooms as well. Low-bet tables start at just $0.02, but aren't as common as the higher stakes. It looks like they're focussing more on the more experienced players.
So you think you can play poker?
This lack of focus on new players is also apparent in the lack of information and navigatability on the website (www.partypoker.com). Trying to find information on bonusses and other promotions is quite hard; we had to resolve to direct e-mail contact.
Party Poker doesn't look very approachable for new players; it mainly focusses onthe more experienced, who don't need as much support and promotions as others.
Rakes don't bother you
Rakes can be quite high, up to 25% at tournaments, however, there's a maximum rake of $5 at cash tables.
