Traffic
Full Tilt has around 60,000 players logged in during peak hours making it one of the largest poker rooms online. A majority of the traffic can be found at the Hold’em tables but 7 Card stud and Omaha are very popular also. You will never have trouble finding a table at Full tilt poker.
Competition
Full tilt is a moderately loose site. There are a lot of solid players and pro’s at the tables but there are also many fish. If you are selective when choosing a table you can always find one with very soft action. Overall its not the loosest site online but with the sheer number of players it is easy to find soft competition.
Customer Service
Full Tilt only offers e-mail support which can be quite slow. The support staff is friendly but can take up to 48 hours to respond. This is one of the areas that Full Tilt could definitely improve.
Deposit Options
Full Tilt Poker accepts Visa, Master Card, FPS, Click2Pay and cash transfers.
