Software Performance (9): Full Tilt has smooth, reliable software, and even offers a Mac version for non-PC users. Unfortunately you can only multi-table up to 4 tables at once, but shifting between available tables is smooth and effortless.
Graphics (9): Full Tilt has sharp graphics with lots of user options. Players can choose from pre-selected avatars, change the background of the table, or switch table views from a classic round look to “racetrack.”
Game play/interface (9): The default seating position for players is at 6 o’clock, but players can switch seats and sit wherever they’d like.
All user options are conveniently selectable from inside of games. Full Tilt offers a tourney info tab that lists your tournament position and chip stack, a hand replayer, and session statistics.
The betting buttons are well placed and easy to use, although the betting slider bar could be a little bigger.
One problem with multi-tabling at Full Tilt is that the timer runs out more quickly than at other sites.
Competition (7): Full Tilt draws some pretty tough players at the higher levels, but at stakes lower than $400 ($2/4NL) it's pretty much like eveywhere else.
Rewards/Promotions (8): 100% sign up bonus up to $600. For each dollar raked from a pot, every player who was dealt cards for that hand earns one point up to a maximum of three points per hand.. You can earn partial points if less than one dollar is rake. Each point is worth $.06.
For every dollar paid in tournament or Sit 'N' Go fees, you will receive 7 Full Tilt Points.
The bonus is released each time you clear another 10% of your initial deposit.
Tips On Clearing The Bonus
Remember, if you want to get the full $600 bonus you have to deposit atleast $600. But you can also deposit $100, then you get a $100 bonus and so on.
The Full Tilt bonus is cleared in increments. Remember to have AT LEAST 10 buy-ins for the stakes you decide to play.
If you deposit $100 I would play at most $0.05/0.10 ($10NL) and even lower. You want to maximize your chances of clearing the bonus.
All you have to do is play very tight and play low enough stakes. It's basically free money so why not think about it and play low stakes and clear it?
Remember, have atleast 10 buy-ins (or 100 big blinds if you're playing limit hold'em) and play super tight.
Good Luck!
