Comment

Since the World Series of Poker 2005, Full Tilt poker has quickly become one of the hottest poker rooms around. You will find some of the biggest names in poker playing on this site, using their true identities and unique avatars. How about watching Mike Matusow going heads up against Phil Ivey at the $50/100 NL table? It only happens here.

Full Tilt Poker review

Full Tilt Poker was one of the poker rooms which decided to ride the crowd-hysteria generated by the 2006 UIGEA to success. And right they were about it. While most poker rooms were closing to American players, Full Tilt made no secret of the fact that U.S. players were more than welcome at their site. This resulted in an exodus of poker players from other online poker rooms towards Full Tilt, making it one of the biggest in terms of player numbers today.

Another major attraction at Full Tilt is the fact that they have about 40 poker pros playing at their site, all of whom use their own names and unique avatars. Feel like you have something to prove? Take Mike Matusow on in a ring game and see where you are compared to these pros.

The fact that it is such a globally huge operation, is more than enough to convince most players to join, however there’s more to Full Tilt than their own goofy, cartoon-like client interface and the big names at the tables. Of course I needn’t tell you that you’ll find plenty of action at pretty much any table at any time of the day or night(there are around 8.500 players at ring tables and about 50.000 at tournament tables at peak hours).

Let’s get down dirty now and see about the money matters at Full Tilt: You’ll get a 100% match on your first deposit up to $600. If you thought that was nice, you should also know that - contrary to some other poker rooms offering generous bonuses – this signup bonus is rather easy to unlock. As you play your raked hands, the bonus is unlocked in $20 chunks. Of course, the higher stakes you play, the faster you generate the rake and the faster you unlock your bonus. Word has it, by playing 4 tables at the right stakes, you can unlock the entire bonus in as little as 15 hours of play.

The package is made whole by the 27% rakeback Full Tilt gives their players. To me it’s obvious that these guys care about their customers. Smaller poker rooms usually give their players rakeback as an enticement only until they feel strong-enough, then they discontinue the offer.

I frankly do not see how much bigger or better Full Tilt could get, and yet they still have the rakeback offer, and their promotions aren’t half bad either.

Fish-wise do not expect a safe-haven here, though with the recent explosion in player-numbers, games have loosened up a bit, compared to how they used to be before.
