Poker Stars To Pay Full Tilt Players

PokerStars has confirmed it will start paying former Full Tilt account holders who are eligible for outstanding balances. The operator says payouts will be issued after standard verification checks and according to the account history it holds. This move restores access to funds for many players who have been waiting to recover money held under the Full Tilt banner.

Who qualifies and what to expect

Eligible players are those with verified Full Tilt account balances that PokerStars has identified in its records. Payments are subject to identity checks and the platform’s anti-fraud procedures, so expect a verification step using standard documentation. PokerStars has emphasized that timelines can vary by case depending on document turnaround and banking processing times.

Payment methods and currencies supported

PokerStars plans to deliver funds through a broad set of payment options, including AstroPay Card, bank transfer, bank wire transfer, check via mail, courier cheque, InstaDebit, Jumio verification, Maestro, MasterCard, Neteller, PaySafeCard, reverse withdrawal requests, Skrill, Solo, Visa, Webmoney, and echeck. Payouts will be available in major currencies such as Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, euros, British pounds, and US dollars. If you have questions about a specific payout method, contact support for details.

Timeline, verification, and fees

PokerStars says it will process payments as quickly as possible, but individual timelines will depend on:

• verification completion,
• the selected payout method, and
• intermediary bank or courier handling.

Some payout methods may incur fees or longer clearance times. PokerStars recommends confirming your preferred method and providing any required documents promptly to avoid delays.

How this affects bonuses and account offers

If you’re returning to PokerStars after a Full Tilt payout, note that promotional offers and bonus rules are market-specific. The standard poker welcome bonus is a 100% match up to $600 using code STARS600, released through redemption points. Players earn 5 redemption points for every $1 paid in rake or tournament fees, and every 25 redemption points releases $2.50 toward the bonus. Terms and conditions apply, and bonus funds are not immediately withdrawable until redemption milestones are met. For details on ongoing promotions and platform features, see our PokerStars review.
