Party Poker, once one of the leading online poker sites in the world, has seen a decline in its popularity since 2013. In March of that year, Party Poker announced that it was suspending its live poker tournaments due to a lack of player interest.
In 2017, Party Poker announced that it would be closing its doors for good in November.
What caused this decline in popularity? There are a few factors that may have played a role. First, there was the change in U.S. regulations which made online poker more difficult to play and brought with it increased security concerns for users.
Second, there was the growth of other poker sites which offered better features and more generous payouts. Finally, there was the general trend of people gambling more online than offline (a trend which has continued to grow).
Despite these factors, Party Poker still had a large player base which made it one of the leading online poker rooms for years. However, with their closure this base will be lost forever and the site will be remembered only for its history and fond memories from those who played on it.
