Register an account at Full Tilt and claim a welcome bonus

To set up an account at Full Tilt Poker, follow our links and download the secure and exclusive software. Full Tilt does not offer an instant Web browser play format, as many of its features are highly interactive and graphically advanced – better suited for downloadable software (the software package is roughly 35MB in size). Once installed, punch in some general registration details, such as username, password, email, date of birth, and country of residency, and your account is ready to be funded.

The software is smartly designed, and the poker lobby is easy to navigate to find your desired poker game and format, and also features a host of customisable player settings to suit your gaming preferences. Within the actual poker games, betting options, time limits and all other player options are clearly and neatly displayed.

New players are entitled to a matched first deposit welcome bonus up to $600. After you’ve set up your account, simply head to the cashier section, deposit money via one of the several secure online poker banking methods (detailed below), and then you’ll be given the option to ‘opt in’ to the 100% first deposit bonus promo. You have 60 days to opt in to this promotion.

This matched deposit promo is not released in one lump sum, but rather in increments of 10 per cent of your initial deposit amount, or $20; whichever is smaller (deposit less than $200 and have the bonus released in 10 per cent increments, or deposit $200 or more and have the bonus released in $20 bursts). The bonus is released based on the loyalty points you earn: for every 25 Full Tilt Poker Loyalty Points, clear $1 of your bonus (deposit $100, and receive a bonus increment of $10 for every 250 points earned). Players earn points by simply playing any real money games of poker.

Full Tilt’s Edge
Loyalty points also earn players additional benefits such as weekly cash payments, entry into exclusive tournaments and a host of other poker promotions. This player rewards program is called ‘Edge’ – climb the loyalty levels by playing more real money games and “Gain the Edge and Reap the Rewards”.

Currency conversion and secure online poker banking

In order to make sure everyone bets in the same currency, Full Tilt Poker converts all funds to U.S. Dollars (USD). When you deposit money using any of the secure methods detailed below, you will be notified of the daily exchange rate from your local currency to USD, and your funds will automatically be converted at that rate. When you wish to make a withdrawal, the funds are automatically converted back to your original currency at the day’s official exchange rate.
