Full Tilt Poker - Detailed Site Review

Full Tilt Poker is one of the newer major sites, and has burst onto the scene over the last few years due to strong advertising. Full Tilt Poker is the home to Team Full Tilt, which consists of Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Jennifer Harman, John Juanda, Phil Gordon, Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel, Clonie Glowen, Andy Bloch, and Mike Matusow. These players not only endorse Full Tilt in name, they all log dozens of hours each week on the site. Anyone can sit with any of these pros throughout the week, as they regularly spend time at tables of all limits.

Because Full Tilt initially appealed to regular players, their games used to be extremely tight. Due to new TV promotions and positive reviews, however, their player database has grown and the games have softened considerably. While they are much better suited for the No-limit Hold’em player than a limit player, they have enough games going to please everyone.

Almost all of the promotions they offer deal World Series of Poker (WSOP) qualifiers. Full Tilt Poker gives away packages through large multi-table tournaments, high buy-in sit ‘n’ goes, and a variety of smaller events. They are also offering a $10 million dollar match promotion, where they will give the WSOP Main Event winner an additional $10 million to match the estimated first prize.

They offer qualifiers for all of the WSOP events, not just the main event, through daily $26 buy-in tournaments. Other promotions include the Iron Man Challenge, where freeroll winners can challenge the pros heads up for up to $100,000, and a weekly $200,000 guaranteed tournament every Sunday.

Full Tilt was one of the first sites to use 3D animation, and they continue to set the industry standard for software. One can pick from a variety of avatars and display emotions, such as happy and sad, to express their feelings to other online players. This software is very stable and rarely ever crashes.

They have excellent customer support and the average response time is around 1 hour. Neteller cashouts are usually paid within 12-24 hours.
