Software - excellent
Very good, solid software for both PC and Mac users. There are many great features plus highly original avatars, although it is optional whether you use these at the tables or not. You can also decide between three animation settings based on your computer's performance to optimize the playing experience. Mini-view functions are available for multi-table play.

Playability - very good
If the colour scheme isn't to your liking, this is customizable as are the avatars. A slightly different look and feel to the majority of standard rooms but nevertheless easy to use and intuitive. The lobby is well designed with a sensible lay-out.

Along with PokerStars, one of the biggest online poker sites you will find on the net. There is rarely a long waiting time for most Sit N Go's and many juicy tournaments for you to sink your teeth into. There is also plenty of action at all levels on the ring tables and most variations of game type, blind structure, starting stacks, etc.

Support - adequate
The response is time ok but the quality is often less than required. However, cash out speeds are very good and most major deposit and withdrawal methods are supported.

Summary - very good

Extra Information :
Full Tilt Poker continues to offer real value deposit bonuses to new players. New sign-ups will receive a 100% matching bonus up to $600 on your initial deposit to Full Tilt Poker.

Ring Tables : For each dollar raked from the pot in a real-money ring game, 10 Full Tilt Points will be awarded to the table and then split equally between all players dealt into the hand. For example:

In a full-ring game, if nine players are dealt into a hand and a total of $1.80 is raked from the pot, 18 Full Tilt Points are awarded to the table. The 18 points are then split equally and all nine players receive two Full Tilt Points for that hand.
In a 6-Max game, if six players are dealt into a hand and a total of $1.80 is raked from the pot, 18 Full Tilt Points are awarded to the table and each player receives three points for that hand.
In a heads-up game, if two players are dealt into a hand and a total of $0.40 is raked from the pot, 4 Full Tilt Points are awarded to the table and each player receives two points for that hand.

Please note that fractional points can also be awarded. For example, if two players are dealt into a hand and $0.50 is raked from the pot, each player receives 2.5 points for that hand.

Tournaments : For every dollar paid in Multi-Table Tournament or Sit & Go fees, players will receive 10 Full Tilt Points. There is no limit to the number of points they can earn per tournament. For example, if a player plays in a tournament with a $10 buy-in and a $1 tournament fee, they'll receive 10 points; if a player plays in a tournament with a $200 buy-in and a $16 tournament fee, they'll receive 160 points.

The bonus amount will be automatically credited to your Bonus Account where it will be held and released to your cash account in increments of 10% of your initial deposit, or $20, whichever you earn first. So if you do a one-time deposit of $100, each $10 (10%) earned will be instantly released into your account. Deposit the full $600 and your account will get credited for each $20 of bonus earned.

You can see your cash total and bonus cash amounts in the Cashier window. You will continue to collect cash until you have received 100% of your bonus money. You have 120 days to earn your deposit bonus.

This offer is available to players making their FIRST deposit at Full Tilt Poker.
