FullTiltPoker.net Overview
Full Tilt Poker ReviewFull Tilt Poker has been growing rapidly since the summer of 2004, and they normally have tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of players online. Normally you can expect over 70,000 tournament participants and over 10,000 cash game players at the real money tables. You can choose to play Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Hi/Lo, and Razz, but the vast majority of the cash tables are for Texas Hold'em. Some players have complained about the cartoon-ish avatars but they do work well with the overall design of the software, and they hardly interfere with all of the other great features offered. FullTiltPoker.net vs. FullTiltPoker.comIf you have ever seen Full Tilt Poker’s TV commercials you probably noticed that they advertise their website as FullTiltPoker.net but at the same time they are well known on the internet as FullTiltPoker.com. So what exactly is the difference? After the US passed some restrictive internet gambling laws, it became difficult for poker rooms to advertise in America. To get around these restrictions, they created .net sites that only offer poker playing with ‘fun-money’, or ‘play-money’. So FullTiltPoker.net is just a limited version of FullTiltPoker.com, and if you want to play with real money (or even just keep your options open) FullTiltPoker.com is your best bet. For your convenience, all of the links to Full Tilt Poker on this page lead to FullTiltPoker.com. Full Tilt's BonusFull Tilt Poker is home to one of the most lucrative welcome packages of any online poker room. On your first deposit you can cash in on a 100% match bonus worth up to $600! Here’s how it is redeemed: You earn one point for every hand you played (played = were dealt in) up to three points per hand. For every dollar paid to play in tournament or SNG games you get 7 points. Each of these points is worth $.06 so you can potentially earn up to $18 for every 100 hands played. You continue to earn these points until you get 100% of your bonus, but you need to reach this point within 120 days of your deposit. AccessibilityCertain players cannot access some online poker rooms. For instance many poker rooms will not accept US players, and many don’t have software that will work on Mac computers. Unlike most of their competitors, Full Tilt Poker caters to both of these groups. If you are a Mac user, you won’t be stuck with limited flash versions of the game or worse, get turned away completely. Simply download the full version of the game to your Mac and you’ve got the same package as the Windows users. Players from certain countries (Costa Rica, China, India, Peru, and others), for one reason or another, cannot play at Full Tilt Poker. Flexible SoftwareFull Tilt Poker has a custom-built software packages with some really helpful features. For instance you can set default buy-ins and re-buys to streamline your play. You can pick from a wide variety of cartoon-based avatars to either mirror your personality or throw your opponents off your trail. Also, you can easily engage in multi-play with up to 8 tables up at any given time. |
