FullTiltPoker.co.uk Review

FullTiltPoker.co.uk

Despite the seizure of Full Tilt's domain by the FBI, the site is still going strong over at www.fulltiltpoker.co.uk. In fact Full Tilt Poker has been around a while - since 2004. And this stand-alone poker room is unlikely to be going anywhere soon. Its unique design is instantly recognizable and it has many features you won't see anywhere else.

Full Tilt Poker has its own stable of professional players such as Phil "Jerome" Ivey, Howard "The Professor" Lederer, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, David Benyamine, Andy Black and many, many more. If you feel like taking them on, just sit down at their table and get busy. They can be found playing all stakes and just about any game, from micro-stakes to the massive nosebleed limits that No Limit Hold'Em ("NLHE") seems to be popular for. If you do run into a pro on FullTiltPoker.co.uk, they are often happy to chat it up and give you some tips and hints.

Games And Tournaments

Full Tilt Poker offers a wide variety of ring games, NL/PL/FL Hold Em tables and Omaha Hi & Hi/Lo ones at stakes that run from $0.01/$0.02 to blinds in the thousands. The Stud section features Stud Hi, Stud Hi/Lo, as well as Razz games and there is also a Mixed Games section where HA/HO/HOSE/HORSE is played. As www.FullTiltPoker.co.uk - Full Tilt Poker.co.uk is the second largest poker room overall, traffic is extremely high, meaning that you can find a game always running no matter what limit you play at.

Full Tilt Poker tournaments, both MTTs and SnGs, run around the clock, with buy-ins from a single dollar to several thousand. Full Tilt also runs a variety of satellites to huge live poker events such as the World Poker Tour and the World Series Of Poker. You can also get to the "Aussie Millions", the WPT/WSOPC, "Poker After Dark" and the "1 Million Guaranteed" by playing at FullTilt.co.uk / www.FullTiltPoker.co.uk / FullTiltPoker.co.uk.

Promotions & Service

Full Tilt Poker - FullTiltPoker.co.uk offers a standing 100% sign-up bonus up to a maximum of $600. Quite frankly, this poor bonus is one of the worst in the business and is extremely hard to clear, especially at the lowest limits. For every dollar that is raked from the pot you receive 1 "Full Tilt Point" and for every 16.67 Full Tilt Points earned you are awarded $1. If you are a penny player, don't expect to clear this bonus without putting in an enormous amount of hands and hours. However, there is a small upside as this bonus clears in increments of $10 or 10%. I recommend comparing this sign-up bonus to others and then decide if you want to go for it or not. Reloads are scarce.

Support and customer service leave a lot to be desired. There is no telephone support at all and no live chat. If you try to contact them by email, consider yourself lucky to receive an answer within days. And if you do, chances are it's a generic one which doesn't address your issues at all. A whole poker world is waiting for, and expecting, Full Tilt Poker.co.uk to improve on this.

Banking

When it comes to funding your Full Tilt Poker / FullTiltPoker.co.uk account, there are a few options. Credit Cards, Neteller, Moneybookers, Click2Pay, Epassporte and Cash Transfers are all approved methods. Withdrawals to all e-wallets are fast and will not take more than 48 hours. Withdrawal by cheque is quite the opposite, there are many stories of players having to wait for months to recieve a requested cheque and there are no signs that points to this changing in the near future. Consider other withdrawal options if you are looking for a fast cashout.

Conclusion

Although Full Tilt Poker / www.FullTiltPoker.co.uk may have suffered since the Black Friday that resulted in US players being cut off, it still is one of the best poker sites around. Even though it has below average customer support and an average sign-up bonus, Full Tilt Poker.co.uk gets above average rating. Why? Simply because of the multitude of games offered, low-mid stakes games always run and not many poker rooms can offer that. The second Full Tilt Poker opens up a functional support service and revises the sign-up bonus, we'll up the grade by quite a few points. Just don't forget that, until the FBI says otherwise, it now uses www.fulltiltpoker.co.uk.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5
