NOTE: Full Tilt Poker has been shut down. They are no longer in business.
Overview: Full Tilt Poker is a fairly new online poker room that
started operating in 2004. They are growing fast,
already there are 5,000 to 6,000 players on Full
Tilt during peak hours. Full Tilt Poker holds a
gaming license from the Kahnawake Gaming
Commission and abides by all the rules and
regulations therein. They have several TV poker shows
including Poker After Dark
Games: full tilt poker.net offers Holdem,
Omaha, Omaha Hi Lo, Stud, and Stud Hi Lo in a
variety of limits (including pot limit and no
limit) and they also have multi-table tournaments
and Sit N Go's. The highest ring games they offer
are $200/$400 Limit and $25/$50 NL. They also have
low limit tables with $0.50/$1 Limit Holdem, and
they even have a $2 max buy-in NL table with
ten-cent big blinds. Their tournament structure is
great.
Software: Although they are one of the
newest online cardrooms, They have some of the
best features. You can choose an avatar and change
their emotions based on the way you are feeling at
the moment. You can also choose your background
theme. You can play in a setting that looks like a
beach, jungle, outer space or more.navigating
around the site is simple, and the games move
along fast. Their cards are dealt faster than any
other site that I know. The best feature is the
"Last Hand" button which allows you to view up to
the last 50 hands played.
Players: Full Tilt has some of the best
poker players in the world as their spokespeople.
This would explain why their software is so good,
players know what players like. The spokespeople
or "team" include Chris Ferguson, Phil Ivey, Erik
Seidel, Howard Lederer, Clonie Gowen, Erick
Lindgren, Andy Bloch, and Phil Gordon. Each of
these players has their own reserved seat at their
personal table and any player can sit down with
them (if you have the patience to wait on the
waiting list).
Bonuses: FTP offers a 100% first-time
deposit bonus up to $600. That is one of the best
in the business. They release the bonus in
increments of $5. The only drawback is that it
takes a very long time to clear the bonus,
especially if you play low limits. They recommend
playing $3/6 limit Holdem to clear the bonus the
fastest.
Banking Options: Full Tilt accepts deposits
through Neteller, FirePay, e-Passporte,
MasterCard, and Visa. Withdrawals cannot be
credited back to your Visa or MasterCard. You may
withdraw your funds using one of the other
withdrawal methods. Neteller users will have no
problems - funding your account via Neteller is
very quick.
