Full Tilt Poker Review

Summary

Full Tilt Poker is arguably the best poker room online today.  The initial deposit bonus is the standard for the industry, the software is top notch and the traffic is the second best in online poker.  Full Tilt could easily be considered the best online poker room in terms of tournaments and cash game variety, but the support could use an upgrade such as a live chat addition.  Overall, Full Tilt Poker is my personal favourite room and if you try it out I’m sure it will rank near the top for you as well.

Initial Deposit Bonus

The Full Tilt Poker initial deposit offer is a 100% up to $600 bonus that is given to all players who use Full Tilt poker referral code “THEFULLTILT” when making their initial deposit.  All of the details of the bonus can be found on the Full Tilt Poker bonus page of this website.

Software

Full Tilt’s software is state of the art and is probably the best all around 2-dimensional software in online poker.  The game play is smooth and there are many backgrounds and avatars to choose from in order to keep your poker experience visually appealing.  Full Tilt is a very reputable site which means the software is secure and your funds are safe.

Traffic

Full Tilt has the second most traffic in online poker, with about half as many players as PokerStars, but way more than the third biggest online poker room.  The huge traffic numbers at Full Tilt means big tournaments with large fields, more game variety and stakes, as well as a ton of Full Tilt Poker promotions.

Tournaments

Along with the other great aspects of Full Tilt, the tournament schedule is arguably the best in the game.  You can always find a tournament that suits your liking and there is a wide variety of buy-ins, as well as many unique tourney types such as satellites, heads-up tourneys, super turbo tournaments and more.  The Sunday tournaments are some of the biggest you will find at Full Tilt with the $750K Sunday guaranteed event the biggest of the week.

Game Variety

Full Tilt Poker offers a wide variety of game types so you can mix it up and keep your poker playing interesting.  Full Tilt of course offers hold’em and Omaha, but there are also a lot of games running in 7 card stud, razz, HORSE, HOSE, and more.  The range of stakes at Full Tilt is what really makes it better than PokerStars.  At Full Tilt you can start out playing the $0.01/$0.02 micro stakes and work your way up to playing the $1000/$2000 games with Phil Ivey and company.

Support

Full Tilt offers fast and helpful email support.  Even though the email support is always solid and accurate, hopefully Full Tilt will add live chat or phone support options in the future to set the standard for the industry.
