Full Tilt Poker On Pokerstars Online

Owned by Amaya Gaming – owner of PokerStars – Full Tilt is an online poker that is focussed on player experience and enjoyment. The Full Tilt Poker is the ability to make single click deposits into your account where the money becomes available instantly without you even needing to leave your poker table. May 01, 2019 The laws around Australian online poker and gambling websites came a few years after “Black Friday” for poker sites. In 2011, Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars, and Absolute Poker operated out of the United States and were the household names in online poker. In fact, many players prefer Full Tilt Poker over PokerStars, for the high-quality graphics. The news many have anticipated finally hit the virtual newsstands: Full Tilt and PokerStars will be merged into one liquidity pool, with each site still retaining its own appearance and a few.

Full Tilt Poker is dead. Long live Full Tilt.

On Tuesday, May 17th, Full Tilt was officially absorbed into PokerStars, ending the second – and likely last – era of the gaming site’s existence. Amaya Inc., the parent company of both sites, announced the merger in February, saying:

This platform migration will allow Amaya’s development and technology teams to focus on improving one market-leading platform rather than two, leading to a better gaming experience for all; improvements and features will be delivered faster and more efficiently rather than doubling development requirements. For instance, rather than splitting resources developing Full Tilt Jackpot Sit & Go and PokerStars Spin & Go features independently, teams will be able to work together on delivering the best possible product on one platform.

Full Tilt’s software was quite popular; it was attractive, colorful, easy to use, and generally ran quite smoothly. Despite this, though, the software platform will be retired. Full Tilt will technically still exist, but only as a skin of PokerStars. The login screen asks players to login to their PokerStars accounts and the lobby, aside from the presence of the Full Tilt logo and Full Tilt color scheme, looks just like PokerStars’. A few other Full Tilt remnants remain, such as The Deal, Full Tilt avatars, and the name Rush Poker instead of Zoom Poker. The table views still look very much like Full Tilt, also.

To celebrate the integration of the two sites, Amaya has launched the Jackpot Unchained promotion for Full Tilt players who continue playing on the new software. It’s not really that impressive, but here’s what Full Tilt players are being offered:

The Deal Jackpot Guarantee – for four weeks, The Deal Daily Top Up will add an extra $2,000 to The Deal Jackpot. On Tuesday, June 14th, the jackpot is guaranteed to be at least $100,000.

Weekly Upgrade Freerolls – $10,000 freeroll every Saturday for four weeks.

Stake $5 Get $5 – wager $5 on any of eight specific slot machines, get a $5 casino bonus.

Magnificent 7 – seven different slot machines from the above, wager $25 or more and get 25 free spins.

$25K Takeaway – earn 12 StarsCoin in a day in casino games, get put into a drawing for $25,000 in prizes.

50 Percent Slots Cashback – earn 60 StarsCoin in slots, get 50 percent back in net losses up to $350.

The merger of PokerStars and Full Tilt likely won’t make too much of a dent on the poker landscape. According to PokerScout.com, PokerStars has a seven-day average of 13,000 cash game players, far more than any other poker room. Full Tilt has just 550, most of whom probably also play on PokerStars. Because of the overlap, PokerStars’ traffic figures may go up a bit, but not all that much.

Once the closest rival to PokerStars in terms of traffic, Full Tilt, as you used to know it, is no more after the site completed its planned migration to PokerStars on May 17, 2016.

Anyone attempting to open the Full Tilt software on their computer is prompted to download the new Full Tilt software, which when opened, is strikingly similar to the PokerStars client, except with Full Tilt branding.

None of the old Full Tilt poker games are present in the new software, instead players are greeted with the same cash games and tournaments you would find if you opened PokerStars. There is a tab labelled 'Rush,' but this is simply a reskinned version of PokerStars' Zoom Poker.

Another reskinned product is Full Tilt's Jackpot Sit & Go, which are now PokerStars Spin & Go tournaments with Full Tilt branding, but the popular The Deal side game remains with players able to choose between normal stakes and high stakes using StarsCoins to fund the game.

Regulars at PokerStars may notice a small increase in traffic in their games, while those who are used to playing solely at Full Tilt will notice a huge surge in liquidity as they are now joined with the PokerStars player pool. More good news for Full Tilt players is that with the exception of slightly different fonts and playing cards, the look and feel of the old Full Tilt software has been retained, complete with avatars and several different backgrounds to choose from.

PokerStars Account or Full Tilt Account

Those of you who only have a Full Tilt account can log into the new software as usual. However, if you have a Full Tilt account that is paired with a PokerStars account, and you attempt to log in with your Full Tilt details, you will be prompted to migrate your Full Tilt account with your existing PokerStars account, which you will then use to log into the software in future as your old Full Tilt account is closed.
