Online gaming enthusiasts, rejoice! The much-awaited Full Tilt Poker platform is now operational!
Following the acquisition of Full Tilt Poker by PokerStars in 2025, the platform has been integrating some of Full Tilt’s assets and operational framework. While there have been no widely publicized, significant new features or cash game options explicitly attributed to the merger, Full Tilt Poker has recently announced an exciting new development.
The "Deal Me In Freeroll" Series
The "Deal Me In Freeroll" series is being held on Full Tilt Poker, consisting of 60 freerolls with a total prize pool of $250,000. All Full Tilt Poker users can participate in the full cycle of these freerolls following the platform's return.
Updates to the Full Tilt Poker Platform
In addition to the freeroll series, the poker room lobby of Full Tilt Poker has undergone cosmetic changes. Cash games, money transfers, deposits, and withdrawals are now available on Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars, with the Full Tilt Poker room cashier including buttons for cashouts, deposits, transfers between FTP players, and transfers to the PokerStars platform.
New Features on Full Tilt Poker
Recent updates on Full Tilt Poker have emphasized new online casino games rather than new poker features. However, Shyam Markus, the manager of Full Tilt Poker, has detailed new features such as Triple Chance and Double tournaments, "add table" and "+table" buttons, enhanced hand history, new filters, and more on the 2+2 forum.
Cash Game Options and Liquidity
PokerStars continues to operate its flagship cash games and tournaments with shared liquidity between states such as New Jersey and Michigan. However, integration efforts have mainly maintained existing formats rather than expanding or altering cash game structures. There are no clear indications of new cash game types emerging as a product of the merger.
Freeroll Series and Tournaments
No specific new freeroll series or unique tournament series branded around Full Tilt Poker or the merger have been announced recently. PokerStars maintains its usual schedule of freerolls and promotional tournaments but currently lacks distinct series or events stemming from the acquisition.
On November 11, Full Tilt Poker will host ten free tournaments, each with a $10,000 prize pool. The prize pools of the daily free tournaments increase each day, and the updated Full Tilt Poker (FTP) client is now available for download on the official FTP website. The "Deal Me In" bonus offer is also available to all Full Tilt Poker players, making it the largest bonus package in Full Tilt Poker's history.
Despite the lack of immediate product innovation, PokerStars' position as a regulated and legally compliant brand in the U.S. market after acquiring Full Tilt Poker’s assets is noteworthy. The legal environment remains active with ongoing regulatory attention on offshore and unregulated poker sites, highlighting the DOJ’s commitment to enforcement.
What are the new tournament offerings on Full Tilt Poker starting from November 11? Ten free tournaments with increasing prize pools each day, totaling $10,000 per tournament, will be hosted.
Regarding the recent updates on Full Tilt Poker, while there are no new poker features or cash game options explicitly attributed to the merger with PokerStars, there have been significant changes in the casino games section with new features such as Triple Chance and Double tournaments, as well as the "Deal Me In" bonus offer.
