- “It was a disaster for us as well as the players, the night of our biggest ever PKO tournaments and on the eve of the launch of our new Power Series,” said Tom Waters, Managing Director of partypoker.
- The server malfunction comes just days after new software was rolled out on the platform.
Online poker operator partypoker suffered a technical malfunction during the last day of its new KO Series—the progressive knockout tournament series that had a $10 million total guaranteed prize pool.
The KO Series went offline at approximately 8pm (GMT) on Sunday night after a “server malfunction” caused the online poker platform to crash, leaving many players with a reduction in value due to the cancellation of tournaments whose guarantees were unlikely to be met.
