Another section of the Defection Party is the Daily Challenges. With these, players will have to opt in to take part. Each day, a specific challenge will be set. The challenges are generated at random, so players will never know what will take place.

Challenges can include deal specific holdings at the table or playing a certain number of hands that day. By completing the challenges, players earn an entry to a Hyper-Turbo which has $5,000 in guaranteed prize money. This event will run each day at 8:00 pm CET. Players have to finish a challenge to earn a ticket to the event.

Partypoker is looking at Defection Party as a way to give back to players. Vadim Soloveychik,, the Marketing Director for partypoker, commented that the brand believes in giving back to players. They give back more than a third of revenues to players through promotions and cashback programs. This is what the Defection Party is all about.

Thankfully for players, there is almost a full month left of the special party with plenty of ways to take part. Simply log in to partypoker to get started, checking social media channels and in the client to see what is going on during any given day!
