1. After you Login, you'll be at the PartyPoker.com Main Lobby. The large display on the left hand side shows you all the tables you can join and play. Use the tabs at the top of the display to navigate to different game types, including Omaha, Hold 'em and all your other favorites, as well as to tournaments and the PartyPoker.com Million II qualifying tournaments.

Click once on a game to view the players at that game, and double-click a game to be taken to the table where you can watch or choose to sit down and play.

Until you deposit real money, you'll be able to play only at play money games and tournaments.

2. Once you're ready to play for real money, click Cashier at the Main Lobby to deposit money.

3. You'll need to validate your email address before you can deposit money. This is for the security of your Account. To validate, you'll simply enter a 4 digit code that we'll send to your email address. To enter the 4 digit code go to My Account menu option and choose Change/Validate E-mail on the PartyPoker.com software. If you lose your code, don't worry, we'll send it to you again. And if you have any problems, call our customer care department and they'll walk you through it.

4. Your next step is the main Deposit Options screen, where you'll choose which method you'd like to use to make your deposit.

Please note that several credit card companies have implemented systems to decline their cardholders' transactions at egaming sites. If you are declined and don't know why, this may be why. In such event, we suggest that you use one of our other payment methods as listed, such as FirePay.

You will be taken to a secure screen to submit your payment, or to set up an account with the payment vendor if you do not already have one.

Once your payment has been submitted, you will receive a confirmation email. When your payment has been processed, you're ready to play for real money!
