Full Tilt Poker Review
Overview
Full Tilt Poker recruits a lot of pros to play at the site, so players can have the experience of pitting their skill against a professional. Endorsers include Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Howard Lederer, John Juanda and Eric Seidel. With the professionals came a tighter game as the site has attracted some of the better players. The bonus and promotional program is excellent. The software is trendy and unique, but not as fast as it should be.
Ease of Competition
Full Tilt Poker is a fairly tight site. The primary reason is because most of the games at this site are low-stakes no-limit games. The other is because a lot of the players are "playing off" the impressive signup and re-load bonuses the site offers. Because everyone wants to “break” the pro, the games tend to loosen up when a celebrity sits in to play. The limit games are pretty much industry standard.
Bonuses and Promotions
Full Tilt Poker offers a 100% first-deposit bonus of up to $600. The way it works is that you receive $.06 of your bonus for every dollar that is raked from the pot. Most sites award you around $.10 per raked hand, so this deal is slow to mature for lower stakes players but it is great for higher stakes players.
AllOnlinePokerSites.com players will also be awarded reload bonuses and freerolls exclusive to AllOnlinePokerSites.com players. Any of the banners on this page will get you the best bonus deal anywhere at Full Tilt Poker.
They also have a number of other promotions which includes satellite tournaments to the World Series of Poker and to Howard Lederer's Poker Fantasy Camp. In keeping with the sites star studded cast of endorsers, current promotions surround WSOP/WPT qualifiers and satellites.
Software Package
The software is unique in that it allows people to choose among an array of cartoon characters as their player. You are also able to display various emotions with the character. This adds a level of enjoyment to the game, but the graphics do slow the game down a bit. The software makes the site more suitable for no-limit than fixed-limit games.
Rake/Cashouts/Customer Service
The rake is standard in the industry as 5% is taken. Full Tilt Poker has a "No flop-No drop" rake policy like most sites.
Cashout Options: NETeller, Firepay, Credit Card, Money Transfer/eMoney Transfer.
Currently, they only have customer service via email. However, response to emails is quite timely. They can be reached via email at support@fulltiltpoker.com.
