Full Tilt Poker is back since November 6th, 2012 and it is accompanied by the 2nd largest amount of traffic, behind their now brother site PokerStars. The original Full Tilt Poker was established in 2004, but with the 2011 debacle, they were forced to close up shop. However, after 1½ years, they are back online thanks to the Rational Group, whom acquired the website back from the US Department of Justice in early 2012.
They have commenced real-money operations as of the aforementioned date above, with a sizable amount of players hitting the tables once real money play resumed. Full Tilt Poker does not offer these particular real-money tables and games to those players that live in the US unfortunately; neither for Italy, France, Denmark, Belgium, Estonia, or Spain for the time being.
First-Time Player Bonus
Full Tilt Poker has a great list of different bonuses and promotions that they offer to their members. They have a great welcome bonus where new players that sign up can receive a 100% bonus, up to $600. On top of being able to get some free cash up front, players can also get a $200 (or equivalent) bonus with the Deal Me In bonus; players will start getting free cash as they continue playing poker.
As Full Tilt Poker has a points system, they are promoting the Short Handed Happy Hour, where players can earn double, triple, or even quadruple the amount of points when they play during a certain time and a certain featured game. They have other promotions that include Refer a Friend, weekly guarantees, and tons of tournaments.
Full Tilt Poker Software
As the main appeal of Full Tilt Poker was their software, the tables, and the great gameplay, the new owners wanted to make the new Full Tilt Poker as exciting as it previously was. This is why they have kept most of the operations and game styles the same, with a few tweaks here and there. Most importantly is the fact that players can download the software and install it on their PC’s or Mac’s, making it a multi-functional software.
The gameplay is fast, having the animations short and to the point, along with a fast network to run on. Players can sort through all of the tables and game types they want by using the advanced filtering options. The lobby gives the players a chance to view every table and the players sitting at them. Once they join a table, they will be able to immerse themselves in the poker experience.
