New Deposit Bonus

Full Tilt offers a 100% matching bonus up to $600 on initial deposits with the use of a Full Tilt Poker referral code.  To release your bonus you must earn Full Tilt Points by playing in cash games or tournaments.  In cash games you earn 1 FTP for each dollar of rake that is taken, up to a maximum of 3 points per hand.  Full Tilt is unique in that they still award partial points if the rake does not reach $1.  For every $1 paid in tournament fees you earn 7 FTP’s.  Each Full Tilt Point is equivalent to $0.06 of your bonus.  The Full Tilt Poker bonus is then released in 10% or $20 increments whichever you reach first.

Software & Graphics

Full Tilt’s software is the best in the industry.  It’s clean cut and works well.  Connection loss is not much of a problem with Full Tilt and if it does happen you are given plenty of time to reconnect.  There are many avatars to choose from, with new ones being added all the time.  Each avatar has a normal, a happy, an angry and a confused face that you can switch through while you play.  The lobby is very easy to navigate and you have the option to customize which games you see, which makes it easier to find what you are looking for.  The tables are resizeable and there is no limit on how many tables you can play at one time, the sky is the limit.  The tables can be condensed enough to allow about 6 tables comfortably on a regular sized screen.

You can easily download Full Tilt Poker for free and try out the game play to see what we mean.

Competition

Full Tilt poker has a fairly average level of competition compared to other poker sites.  Full Tilt used to have the reputation of a tough poker site, but the sites growing player base has brought in a wide range of skill levels.  The high stakes games are still highly competitive, with a lot of internet pros playing along side Full Tilt’s red pros at the big tables.
