1. After you login, you'll be at the Party Poker main lobby. The large display on the left hand side shows you all the poker tables you can join and play. Use the tabs at the top of the display to navigate to different poker game types, including Omaha poker, Texas Hold 'em and all your other favorites, as well as to poker tournaments and the PartyPoker Million qualifying poker tournaments.

Click once on a poker 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 poker games and poker 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 Party Poker 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.

There are several deposit options. Just choose the one that is most convenient for you. If you have any questions, please email us.

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 poker for real money!

Good luck and have fun!
