Difference Between Empire and Party?

[Rumbles]

How are empire and party poker related, if at all?

I recall reading something along the lines that they were the same exact cardroom with different clients.

Am I insane? Are they related at all? Can you use the same affiliate etc.?

Thanks in advance for the help.

P.S. I've had little success with the search function but not from lack of trying, trust me.

They are two different "front ends" to exactly the same tables. The only difference is that Empire has more flushes and Party gives you worse starting cards after any large cashout.

You can't use the same account at both. Tips on how to manage simultaneous Empire/Party accounts can be found in the internet poker forum archives.

the colors. That's it. And the Multi-table tourneys.

And the Bad Beat tables.

Same tables but on Empire you get EP points. Has Party implimented anything like that yet?

nope, its true, i have 427 hands in poker tracker, at empire i have hit 4-flushes on the flop 9x, and of those, i have hit 6 of them, which is much higher than what it should be.

also, after i cashed out on party one time i had a streak of 6 hands where i didn't get a face card.

So I just cashed 500 out of party and moved to empire. Lots like a muck best on one and played the SOOTED on the other.

Party and Empire are different skins (or portals) to the same games. THe software is identical, some of the graphics are different, but the ring game tables are the same. They no longer allow you to have accounts at both, but if you had accounts at both before the restrictions, then you cannot sit at the same table with yourself.

THey each have different tournament servers though, and their promotions are different. THey use the same company for cashouts.

Each site has affiliate programs but they are seperate, and you cannot transfer funds between the two.
