We all know the story of Full Tilt Poker, launched back in 2004 and constantly at number two on Poker Scout behind Poker Stars. With some of the most innovative software and promotions it was no wonder that players flocked to the site giving it a great reputation. It was endorsed by some of the worlds best players, offered mega guaranteed tourneys and some of the biggest cash games you could ever see. Then along came Black Friday and the DoJ closed down more than just a few poker rooms, and sadly Tilt was one of them. Along with the closing down of the site, all players funds were frozen and to be honest everyone thought that it was all over for Tilt and the players cash. Poker Stars on the other hand had done a deal with the DoJ and paid its' dues and in a strange twist of fate bought Full Tilt, paid it's players and promised to re-open Tilts virtual doors as soon as they could. That day came, the 6th of November 2012 and within 24 hours Tilt had gone straight back to number two in the rankings.
The Current Landscape
The current situation is as simple is this. If you are from a country where it is legal to play online poker you can sign up and play at Full Tilt, and what's more if you download the client now you will get $10.30 real cash directly into you account absolutely free. This free cash allows you to check out the awesome Full Tilt software and the action that's to be found at the tables. If you are from a prohibited country your funds will be there and you may withdraw them. For US players this may be more of an elongated process due to the fact that the DoJ hold these funds and is currently working on a way to get them back to the players. US players may use the software for fun money but no real money games are permitted at the moment.
