Party Poker - free $50

Hi - I know I'm kinda new to playing poker and all that, and I'm pretty sure that most of you have Party Poker's software installed.

I came across this ad while browsing through the many different sites, and I want to know how "secure" and trustworthy Party Poker is?

Are they ~legit~?
Is this a scam?

they are offering $50 to new registrants

I'm going to try it out, but I would like to know if anyone has had any problems with Party Poker?

thanks -

I'm downloading now, and yeah - I did use the link here on the forums. If needed, I'll post their offer.

Thanks for the insight :-)

While I'm thinking about it, here's the offer.

Party is my favorite site soulite-- but check out this thread-

http://www.texasholdemforums.com/pla...tml#post103463 (Definite evidence of BOTS on Party Poker)

Ok, I didn't read the entire 60 page thread, but I understand the point being made.

I'm still curious as to what a "bot" is, though.
I feel anyone and everyone is ~beatable~, I don't care what kind of game you're playing - everyone is beatable.

imho
