Full Tilt Poker Pokerroom Review

You would have had to have been living under a rock for the last decade not to have heard of Full Tilt Poker. It’s not only one of the largest poker rooms on the Internet, but it’s home to some of the best and brightest of the poker community.

Any any given time, you can stumble across some of the most famous players in the world here, including Jennifer Harman, John Juanda, Phil Ivey, Gus Hansen, and Patrik Antonius. And I don’t just mean in the chat rooms. I mean you can take them on, if you have the chops.

Full Tilt Poker is a legal operation and is licensed and regulated by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.

Games and Software

The software that Full Tilt Poker uses is supplied by Pocket Kings, and offers a clean, attractive interface for playing in. It’s available to download off the Full Tilt Poker website, and installs in only a few moments. Once you’ve signed up for an account, you’re ready to hit the tables.

You’ll be able to play some of the most popular forms of poker on the market. Naturally, the big one is Texas Hold’em, but there’s also Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo, 7-card Stud and 7-card Stud Hi/Lo, and plenty more besides.

Whether you like to play no limit or pot limit games, it’s all going on at Full Tilt Poker.

Bonuses and Loyalty Programs

The welcome bonus at Full Tilt Poker is extraordinarily generous for an online poker room. Since poker rooms don’t cream profit from slots, it’s unusual to see big bonuses, but Full Tilt Poker has a standard welcome deal of a 100% deposit match bonus yielding up to $600 in bonus cash.

There’s also a loyalty program that earns you points on every wager that you make. You can use these points to buy into tournaments with guaranteed cash prizes, or blow them on cool merchandise at the Full Tilt Poker shop.

Beyond this, there are a huge number of running promotions including a regular monthly tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $1,000,000. There are numerous other tournaments running daily, including many guaranteed prize tourneys that can be bought into with loyalty points, and some that you can even play for free.

Payment Methods

Deposits are accepted through Visa and Mastercard, or through bank drafts and transfers. You can also use a number of e-wallet solutions such as NETeller, ePassporte, MoneyBookers and Click2Pay.

Withdrawals are processed quickly to almost any banking method.

Safety and Customer Service

The poker software that Full Tilt Poker uses has encryption built into it. Every connection that goes between the software installed on your hard drive and the Full Tilt Poker server is encrypted with some of the most hardcore algorithms in the industry, making your personal data perfectly safe.

Support is available any time of day or night, but currently is only offered via email. However, Full Tilt Poker employs a large support staff, so your queries are usually answered very quickly.
