Partypoker differs from other online poker rooms by having the strictest country policy. So the question of where I can legally play at partypoker is very relevant for players these days. This article will tell you in which countries party poker is available and where it is not.

Partypoker: where to roll

In 2020, the holding company that owned partypoker at the time, GVC, became Entain. At the same time, the company announced that it was withdrawing from unregulated gaming markets and obtaining licenses in regulated markets.

As a result, partypoker is available in a very limited number of countries now. A full list of allowed countries can be found below.

Party Poker Europe

Europe is the most important market for partypoker, although it will cease operations in Iceland, Luxembourg, Slovenia, and Austria in 2023.

Due to the diversity of gaming laws in Europe, the poker room has a dual presence here:

Sites with local domains and access to an international player pool:

Country	poker sites
Sweden	partypoker.se
Czech	partypoker.cz
Denmark	partypoker.dk, bwin.dk, DanskeSpil
Germany	partypoker.de, bwin.de, premium.de
Belgium	bwin.be
Greece	bwin.gr, Sportingbet.gr
Georgia	CrystalBet

Reservations:

Country	poker sites
France and Spain	partypoker.es, bwin.es, partypoker.fr, PMU.fr, bwin.fr
Italy	patrypoker.it, bwin.it, GD Poker

There may be other differences between the sites. For example, players from Denmark and Sweden do not have access to the loyalty system.

Partypoker UK

UK players have the widest choice of GVC skins. As well as partypoker.com, Bwin, Ladbrokes, and Coral are available.

Ladbrokes and Coral are only available to residents of Ireland, Gibraltar, and Jersey.

All of them are licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC).

Partypoker USA and Canada

Immediately after the Black Friday events, partypoker began working with local gambling companies and casino owners to open new poker sites in the USA.

Currently, partypoker operates six online poker rooms in three US states.

State	Poker site
Pennsylvania	BetMGM Poker PA, Borgata PA Poker
Michigan	BetMGM Poker MI
New Jersey	BorgataPoker, nj.partypoker, BetMGM NJ Poker

There are three skins available In Canada Ontario: partypoker.on, BetMGM Poker ON, bwin.on. Residents of the rest of the country can register at partypoker.com.

Partypoker LatAm

In almost all major Latin American countries, online gambling is unregulated and the local markets are rightly classified as grey markets. However, Partypoker is in no hurry to leave.

The reason, we believe, is simple. Latin America is seen as one of the most promising areas for online poker in the coming years.

Partypoker.com accepts players from Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Peru. Together these countries are home to nearly 400 million people.

In early 2023, the room pulled out of Bolivia and Argentina. This is most likely due to the fact that the local authorities are seriously preparing for the legalization of online poker.
