Partypoker Ambassador Patrick Leonard hosts the new Diamond Club VIP Program

Partypoker is proud to launch the Diamond Club, the top VIP level for the new Cashback Loyalty Program. Last week new partypoker Chairman Mike Sexton outlined ten commitments he’d like to deliver for the poker community. His aim is to “reward players who start games and keep the action going”. The Diamond VIP Club will do just this, rewarding its members with at least 50% rakeback plus other VIP bonuses.

To be eligible, players must commit to earning 100,000 points [$100,000] over a 12 month period across any poker game type including MTTs, Ring Games, Fast Forward, SNG HERO and STTs. Players will receive their normal weekly cashback every Monday into their online account.  The additional cashback and VIP Bonuses are paid once players achieve the agreed 12 month points target. Should a player achieve their target in less than 12 months, the extra Diamond Club Cashback and benefits will be paid out as soon as the player reaches the points target.  Lastly, Members receive dedicated 24/7 Skype Customer Support from the Diamond Club team.

Welcome to Stars Rewards!

I’m happy to announce that this summer we will be launching Stars Rewards, our new rewards program. Stars Rewards is an integrated rewards program that will offer an exciting, personalised gaming experience that rewards players for their play in poker, casino, and sports (where available) making every game count.

Stars Rewards gives you Chests that offer a variety of rewards, all personalised to the games that you like to play. You can open Chests as soon as you earn them – or collect them and open when it best suits you. Every Chest offers you the chance at winning a huge prize, no matter what type of player you are.

This video gives you a glimpse into what it will look like.

Stars Rewards Overview

Excitement: Stars Rewards is designed to create excitement with a variety of rewards with randomized values. The more you play, the bigger the Chests.

Big top prizes: Every time you open a Chest there’s a chance that you win a big top prize. It might be $1,000 in cold hard cash, 1,000,000 StarsCoin, or a PokerStars Championship package worth thousands of dollars or, if you are a sports bettor, a big bet for an upcoming match. The top prizes will be changing on an ongoing basis, but every Chest for every player gives you the chance at a big prize.

Personalised rewards: Chests will offer a variety of rewards including StarsCoin, free sports bets, tournament tickets, casino instant bonuses, and more, all personalised to reflect your gameplay. For example, a tournament player will predominantly receive tournament money or tournament tickets, whereas a sports-bettor would receive free bets. You will also earn StarsCoin from Chests, and will continue to be able to redeem them in the store at the same rate for cash rebates, tickets, merchandise, and more.

Fasttrack your progress: You will be able to double the speed you make progress for a short period each session you play via ‘boosts’, designed to reward players who play more frequently and play in consecutive days.

We will be launching Stars Rewards first in Denmark later this month, with Italy planned shortly thereafter, and most other markets planned for later this summer. We will notify players via email when we are close to launching in each market.

Partypoker continues to listen to its players, an make changes based on their needs

partypoker Managing Director Tom Waters said: “The new, significantly improved loyalty scheme is straightforward and offers regular cashback to players. I recognised that the existing loyalty store was complicated and confusing for some players. So, we decided to replace the store with a simple and rewarding rakeback scheme.  We will deliver cashback into players accounts every week. The new scheme was designed in consultation with a large group of players. I hope that we have delivered a rakeback program that will suitably reward our loyal players.

Lastly, partypoker Ambassador Patrick Leonard said: “This is a huge improvement for partypoker which I have been championing for a long time. I made sure that all the feedback I received from the poker playing community was passed on to partypoker to ensure we were given a simple and fair reward system that gives players exactly what we are looking for.”

partypoker sign Johnny Lodden as newest ambassador

partypoker announces their newest ambassador deal with professional poker player Johnny Lodden. He has been playing since he was 18 years old. The now 31-year old is a poker legend, and his first live cash dates back to the St Maartens Open in 2004. Well known for his  final tables on the European Poker Tour, including two in Monte Carlo. In total, Johnny Lodden has $2,618,521 in live tournament winnings.

Johnny Lodden’s 22 cashes in EPT Main Events is more than any other player.  Now he takes on a new venture in the partypoker LIVE tour.

Johnny Lodden excited to work with partypoker!

The newest partypoker ambassador Johnny Lodden said “partypoker has always been one of the world’s largest poker sites and it is an honour for me to be part of their team. It was important for me to sign with a company that believes in their poker product and their mission.  John Duthie, new President of partypoker LIVE, ensures their commitment to the game. That is something I am excited to be part of.”

Joining him at partypoker is Thomas Udness who will head partypoker in the Nordic markets. What I didn’t like about OnlyFans is that there is no “discovery” feature where you can explore all the models. But recently I came across this directory featuring all of the girls active on OF. It’s not ideal, but still way better than nothing. Thomas Udness has been instrumental in the legalization process for poker in Norway, and was responsible for the first two legal Norwegian Championships of Poker held in Norway.

I am humble and proud to be given the opportunity to head partypoker in the Nordics, it is also amazing to once again be working with Johnny Lodden. He is a poker legend both in and outside of the Nordics and is a player that is highly respected around the world. Together we are already looking at how we can to give players great poker experiences both live and online”, said Thomas Udness.

Partypoker is ready to tackle Nordic marketplace

Managing Director of partypoker, Tom Waters said “We are looking to establish ourselves in the Nordic market. Thomas and Johnny are the perfect people to help us achieve our goals. Johnny will fit perfectly into the team as he shares our beliefs and aspirations. Thomas, highly experienced, brings an extensive local knowledge to the team. He will work with Johnny to build awareness of partypoker events, both live and online, in the Nordic markets”. 

partypoker MILLIONS will be Johnny Lodden’s first tournament as partypoker Ambassador. The tournament, played at Dusk Till Dawn, showcases in Nottingham April 16th – 23rd. Lastly, the tournament has a fantastic £6,000,000 guarantee with £1 million for the winner.
